    He’s my favourite US president; he’s the most personified form of the phrase “capital sows the seeds of its destruction” and he does it with such unintentional levity.

    If you had to point to a single document that so quickly conveys that the material always come before the idea then it would be this; the two brain cells that strained to write this would not have any power if it was not for a whole system that allows it.

    It lays bare naked the dictatorship against the global proleteriat; capitalists are but servants at the altar of capital.

    Why is he capitalizing Complete and Total Control? Is this going to be his trademark? Will the next letter have a little ©️ or ™️ at the end of the sentence? Will this be abbreviated in the future (e.g. we demand CTC of Spain)?

    I could write a whole essay on how comically written this letter is. And how joyful it is that the Empire is finally eating itself. And how ironic it is, that in some dark underground conference hall, some European deep staters are probably contemplating asking Russia’s or China’s help. But I’m not going to, because this will be just an insignificant blip compared to the next gem this idiot will produce.

    a president making a tantrum to the international community because he didn’t get the crappy and overvalued prize that he “deserved” now he’s gonna take over the world

    sounds like a script for a very stupid spy or hero comedy movie or cartoon with a dumb villain…but it’s the freaking real world

      the most hilarious part is that this will likely become an important historical document once the US actually annexes Greenland, people will have to study it in history class 🤣

        I confess I don’t know much about Greenland. But of course Western media only shows the white minority getting angry, that is still funny to see at least.

          No worries! Greenland is an incredibly niche locale!

          The island is about as close to a Native American nation that currently exists, however Inuit peoples often have relatively light skin in comparison to other American Native groups owing to their northern location, and at a glance they can easily be confused for certain “White” groups. So oftentimes, the people being showcased in the media aren’t even really white.
