Easy I am the smartest person I know because I don’t know myself very well.

very cool

Not that the US government can’t monitor what you are doing if they want to… but like… come on 50501 get the fuck off reddit are you serious?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit was selling a service to law enforcement to categorize “potential subversive agents” for the FBI or CIA as a way of privatizing and profiting off of fascism.

I think if my prophecy comes true it will be irrefutable evidence god exists.

Wow way to generalize an entire group of people that might just be composed of a subset of pedos surrounded by a crowd of powerful people who are totally fine with it so long as it advances their power and leverage over others!

There is such an important difference!

…

Words matter!

So do actions!

Or knowing inaction against powerful people committing sexual assault on minors!

I mean, let’s not be too harsh on oligarchs…

At the same time, few Americans would have trouble identifying a violent attack on a mosque or Muslim community event as a bias crime, regardless of the politics of the imam or the community. Nor did we see public arguments that the 2018 murder of 11 Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue was political, not antisemitic, even though the attacker was motivated by anger at the community’s support for refugees. Likewise, we should have no trouble identifying the recent violent attacks on Jewish community events and spaces as antisemitic.

Sadly most Americans would have trouble identifying a violent attack on a mosque or Muslim community event as a bias crime, some of the MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE in the US would be unable to identify this basic reality if it happened right in front of them. This statement wildly ignores the very recent disgusting history of Islamophobia in the US in the wake of 9/11 (and of course before that too).

…

Criticism or public protest of Israel, or any other country, is an essential tool in upholding human rights, especially in a moment when a never-ending war is causing needless death, starvation and displacement in Gaza. But when criticism expresses itself as violence toward Jews and Jewish institutions – including Jews who care about Israel and Israelis – that’s antisemitism.

Something that is not mentioned in the article here is clearly the final twist of the knife with using judaism as a cloak to disguise base colonial, imperial politics that are necessary to sustain the empire materially and ideologically (i.e. Genocide must continue there or we will begin to question if it should continue here) will be blaming Jews for all the violence being done supposedly in the name of protecting them.

When this happens it will be brutal, it will result in mass violence of anti-semitism, clearly my society is being primed for this whiplash to happen, up until recently not even centrists in the US would talk rationally like an adult about the Palestinian Genocide. The conditions have been set for USians to have a baby-like understanding of what is happening, so that when rich conservatives turn around like Microsoft and Google executives and say “The Shock! The Horror! Listen to me your friendly local billionaire/oligarch, I trusted these Jews and look what they have been doing this whole time!” those people in the US will loyally fall in line and become raging anti-semites when they really didn’t give a shit before.

We must remember the CEOs of Microsoft and Google have blood on their hands, not Judaism as a category, this is a product of colonialism necessitating racism to retain and rationalize its power through the lens of Judaism.

The fact that conservative jewish people don’t see this coming is nauseating, I hate being on the precipice of mass violence while being scolded for being anti-semitic because I don’t want a genocide to happen using weapons FROM MY COUNTRY in uncomprehensible amounts on innocent children…

My vocal opposition to the Palestinian Genocide is because I know that in the same way a defense of Judaism is being used to rationalize genocide so will be the inveitable manufactured corrupted response the public has too when they finally decide to look up and witness the genocide being committed supposedly in the name of defending Judaism. Rich conservatives will convince centrists to say with them “Yes, the Jews have betrayed us again!”. I fear that future for everyone, jews, palestinians, me, other humans it doesn’t matter.

To emphasize, it isn’t really the conservatives that scare me in my society, it is the way the people around me willingly lean into a baby like ignorance so that violent conservatives can periodically shatter their reality and place them purely into states of emotional reaction where they don’t have to examine their actions and beliefs critically they just have to say yes and nod their head to what the fascists around them are doing when they aren’t looking. This is how fascism is enabled, it is the only way fascism is enabled.

This isn’t just an Israel thing, the implications extend all the way out to the entire world… immediately from what happens in the Palestinian Genocide and how we choose to react to it as the US. So far we have chosen to ignore genocide, and not only do we have to stop doing that, we have to now reckon with the force of evil that has been launched out of the breach by the intensity and unwavering fevor we clung to our ignorance and unwillingness to contend with the reality of the Palestinian Genocide being a direct result of US imperialism and weapons shipments for so long. “Stop criticizing Biden!!!” Blue MAGA screamed through their spittle at progressives…

Reckoning with that as someone from the US means recognizing that the form this violence will take soon is conservatives flip-flopping on Israel and becoming as a demographic much much much more anti-semitic virtually over night because it is the obvious play the billionaires and oligarchs profitting of their useful idiocy and hate are going to make to try to sidestep complicity in the Palestinian Genocide… and I see no indications it won’t catastrophically work.

That future is coming very fast, prepare for it.

The 1% are looking at the other 2% and going “wait, you are too poor to be involved in this high level of a crime… right? I am confused why you are pro-coverup is all.”

Thanks to its powerful diesel engine and independent suspension on each wheel, the Patria 6×6 can traverse rough terrain, cross water obstacles, and travel at high speeds on highways.

On roads, the vehicle can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h, with a range of up to 700 kilometers on a single tank of fuel.

The armor of the Patria 6×6 meets international STANAG 4569 standards, providing protection for the crew against small arms fire, artillery shell fragments, and mine blasts.

These vehicles are life savers for Ukrainian fighters. For one, moving logistics and personnel in a procedural way to the front even under normal conditions is dangerous, armored vehicles like this allow people making it happen to have some degree of basic comfort that they won’t be immediately killed by a mine or drone.

Second, and this is important, if an offensive like Russia is conducting right now, the idea (…at least in classic maneuver warfare which Russia seems to have abandoned by throwing away all their armor and artillery…?) is to find a weak point in the Ukrainian defense and then pour an overwhelming amount of troops into that weak point to create a breakthrough that snowballs.

This is a basic strategy of war that has been used since before machine guns, tanks… whatever…

The counter to this is for the defending Ukrainians to quickly react to the breach in their front lines and move decisive amounts of troops in from either side to contact the assaulting Russian troops, contain the breakthrough and slow down the penetrating arm of the enemies attack.

The thing is… the Russians know that this is of course the natural counter, and so traditionally as part of an armored assault a heavy amount of artillery would be used on either side of the breach to keep defending Ukrainian forces from rushing out of their positions to aid adjacent Ukrainian defenders being overrun. Drones also work in this role, quite decisively it is true but they can’t rival the pure volume that artillery provides in being able to deny and suppress entire areas.

Putting aside that Russia can’t keep its artillery alive and has almost entirely demechanized at scale as an army for a moment… that is where armored personel carriers and armored fighting vehicles come in, they allow Ukrainian defenders to mount up onto an armored platform that is very resistant to artillery, drone attacks and small arms fire and rush at highway speeds to positions that they can decisively impede a Russian breakthrough from. Crucially, even with bad intelligence, fog of war and quickly evolving battlefield conditions even if the responding Ukrainian force drives RIGHT into the assaulting Russians, they will be protected by the armor of the vehicle and thus have a chance to respond, dismount and establish positions.

This isn’t a trivial difference, trucks work great for blitz warfare and quick reaction like this (which is why they radically transformed warfare when they began to be used for it) but the problem is you can never really know what hill you should stop the trucks behind, dismount everybody and prepare for battle. Too early and your forces are stranded on foot in the middle of nowhere unable to affect the battle and stop the Russian breakthrough, too late and you lose everybody in a single machine gun burst.

I am glad Ukraine is being supplied with Patrias, these are an essential life saving tool for the Ukrainian military right now.

A lot of people have become “Drone Brained” where they think that because FPV drones are effective tactically at taking out armor means armored fighting vehicles and personel carriers must be obsolete. I would remind those people to consider the fact that like with your 9-5 job, you also have to commute to war… and how are you going to do that? Wait how about the drone operators trying to kill you? How do they commute to war? Well, for Russia the answer is with whatever unarmored piece of shit vehicle they can get their hands on if they are even lucky enough to have access to one.

The thing about war is, nobody ever gives you a precise address of where to park so you can be right next to where you are going to be doing war but not have your car right out in the action exposed the whole time. War happens this way, you are driving your car to war which you still have a bit of a commute too… and then war happens to you out of nowhere without warning.

It is not weapon systems that win wars, it is not even really people, it is the impact the movement of those weapon systems and people have and the direct implications to a power balance those movements interface with that determines the trajectory of wars. Giving Ukraine the ability to move its weapon systems and people makes Ukraine that much more powerful even if those armored vehicles never see direct combat or fire their main weapons (which they definitely will).

Russia now has to assume even if they make a major breakthrough that they are then going to have to figure out a way to stop a wave of Patria’s from activating from all over the defensive backline of Ukraine’s defenses and rushing in to smash the assaulting Russian forces who just got done breaking through the frontlines. spoiler alert they won’t…

For months, the Base, born in the US and with a web of cells all over the world, has been offering money to supporters or willing participants for targeted assassinations and attacks on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine, coinciding with allegations that its American founder, Rinaldo Nazzaro, was a Kremlin spy. Ukrainian authorities have also been warning in recent weeks of similar Russian intelligence operations covertly paying unknowing citizens to carry out sabotage inside their country.

Rightwing extremists ARE NEVER your friend, and they are always “just kidding” about their fascism. They are always pulling all the strings and yet publicly claim they are powerless to stop the puppets they animate.

Nazzaro, who is a former Pentagon contractor with the US special forces, declined to comment on the Ukraine cell of the Base and the killing when reached on his Telegram account.

“I have no personal involvement in this incident and I don’t know who is responsible,” he added.

Previously, he had publicly endorsed the group’s Ukraine operations on Telegram and said it was being overseen by members inside the country that he did not control.

Fascism is in some ways not even an idea, but rather a pattern of rhetoric where someone in power stokes violence against minorities and then when challenged by other powerful figures in a public forum claims they are powerless to stop said violence against minorities. It is a trick of speech where the speaker flips openly from encouraging violence upon minorities with their power to speaking about being powerless to inhibit violence against said minorities.

Throw these people in the closest dumpster you can find.

Why? So he can see historians celebrating more men in history who didn’t deserve their power or fame?

I don’t think people understand how fucked people who don’t fit the societal mold of how their body or mind should function are here in the US, things are about to get very grim in the US, much grimmer than they were. The center of this society has decided what they don’t like about Trump and fascism are primarily its harsh tone as he and other rightwing nutjobs murder us. The expression of how little I am worth to the society around me is not lost on me, it is only lost on the centrists who tone police me for being negative about my future.

What societies like mine do as they collapse is tend to see diversity as a threat to the survival of the society, including cognitive diversity. This is a phenomena old as time and centrists have NEVER resisted it once. As someone with severe ADHD it is crystal clear to me a brickwall is heading at me and I know especially with my executive dysfunction there is no way I am dodging it.

I have never been able to hide, if you have a brain like me you knew from a young age it was dangerous to let people think you did weird things because they felt normal to you, so you became the class clown and learned to love it even even as deep down you remember that lesson in your bones you can never forgot. If I let people see how chaotic my brain really is, as in what I turned into a joke was truly me just reacting to my own impulsivenes with clever impulsiveness, they will insist on hurting me, “I have to make this goofy or I will be hurt” is the way I survived.

The thing is, there are no class clowns left in a fascist society, so in a way this is me saying goodbye. I will still be present here for a long time yet, but the true me is dying right now. I am not a creature that can hide, people burst out laughing when I do and then an ache in my soul reminds me of the lesson I can never forget.

Ironic Chocolate Rain is being ignored here.

Just pretend you are trying to bullshit what the objects you are identifying are as if you actually have no clue what you are supposed to be doing but you have learned basic ways to bullshit your way through. Imagine the captcha as the class you cared about LEAST in school and attempt to answer it as sloppily and half-assed as you can without getting kicked out of class.

We were born for this calling my friend. Fill out captchas the way society fulfills its promise to provide you with a stable future so you can flourish, I.E. don’t do that all just drown the conversation in meaningless almost sensible crap.

Lol just showed up on my online club with only MEN because we are toxic to everyone else. I love the club! We mostly make memes about how women suck because they don’t understand our hobbies we collectively gatekeep anyone but men from enjoying.

One of our favorite things to rant about is our creepy desire to have sex with women not really into our 10 seconds of unbridled masculinity. Intimately Disappointing is our club motto!

Clearly god gave women the capacity to orgasm so they could prove their femininity by not orgasming… … facepalm

Get f&^%$# Elon Musk

When you are forced to do captchas make sure you do them as badly as possible while appearing to be human!

These fuckers weren’t even paying attention to the “precision vs. accuracy” concept introduced in the first lecture in the one science class they had to take. Make them pay for their ignorance.

A broken clock is wrong at least four times a day.

I hope this is the only image from earth that reaches another alien species.
