What if there's a jeet in front of you with a knife, but there's a muzzie behind you who also has a knife?

I run away and they stab each other.

That's literally the first thing that happened after the British left the Indians and Pakistanis to govern themselves.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

Oh no Isreal may possibly have to make concessions during negotiations of a peace treaty! Such a horrible thing has never happened in the history of the world, how will God's chosen ever recover from this injustice.

Retards like you don't understand that a hostage deal like this is why the current war happened. Sinwar was in Israeli prison until Israel traded 1k Palestinian prisoners for Shalit. This just repeats the same mistake and wastes the lives of hundreds of IDF who died in Gaza

Which party is in control of America's political institutions?

Republicans.

US Supreme Court is Republican.
US House is Republican.
US Senate is are all Republican.

President is a lame duck Democrat for a week, then Republican.

In the Federal Circuit Courts, of the 179 Courts of Appeals judges, 89 were appointed by Republican presidents, and 88 by Democratic presidents. Out of the 13 federal appeals courts, Democratic appointees have a majority on 7 courts, whereas Republican appointees have a majority on 6 courts.

As of January 13th, 2025, Republicans controlled 55.48% of all state legislative seats nationally, while Democrats held 43.56%. Republicans held a majority in 57 chambers, and Democrats held the majority in 40 chambers. Two chambers (Alaska House and Alaska Senate) were organized under multipartisan, power-sharing coalitions.

As of January 13, 2025, there are 23 Republican trifectas, 15 Democratic trifectas, and 12 divided governments where neither party holds trifecta control. State government trifecta is a term to describe single-party government, when one political party holds the governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature.

In 2024 a FedSmith survey reported 52.8% of those responding preferred Donald Trump. 43.7% voted for Kamala Harris. 3.6% preferred “other” candidates. 63.8% of the survey respondents indicated they were current federal employees. 33.2% indicated they are retired federal employees. 1.3% identified as retired military. 0.3% identified as a federal contractor, and 0.2% said they worked for a federal employee union.

The military leans Republican.

25% of Federal Employees are in a union. Union employees are known to vote for the Democratic Party.

When I have to do deal with city bureaucracy in Cincinnati, the employees of the various city institutions are mostly black because the Democrats are very good at building patronage networks, especially ethnic ones, which is why government bureaus are staffed with the slowest, laziest sheboons known to man, or endless theater kids, or other progressive types.

My city doesn't have that problem. Has your own advice of attending city council meetings worked out for you?

The Founding Fathers were, almost to a man, the colonial elite.

"almost to a man" might be pushing it. Beyond Thomas Paine, Hamilton wasn't exactly born into riches or connected socially, and he died heavily indebted. Sam Adams was shit with money, but was connected well enough. Roger Sherman was a non-elite. Also the only person to sign all four great state papers of the United States (the Articles of Association, the United States Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution). Josiah Bartlett was another non-elite.

There are a few more. Not all founding fathers were elites. I would say "almost to a man" is also wrong. Majority, yes. Most, yes. 9 out of 10, probably.

This is all beside the point. The premise is that "randos" do not effect meaningful change. I disagree with that.

Trump's immigration policy is mostly shaped by Stephen Miller

Trump wouldn't be running on deportation if there wasn't a populist demand for it. That populist demand exists because of an undercurrent of anti-immigrant culture. That culture exists because of fringe shitposters willing to be excluded from "proper society".

Stephen Miller is competent, which will get better results. But, many of the Senate and House Republicans voted in favor of flooding the US with cheap slave labor. It is only because the cultural tides have turned that they have changed course.

I'm not saying you shouldn't shit post, I'm just saying shit posting isn't magic, you're going to have to go out and do things.

"have to"? No. A person can shitpost and not "have to" go do other things. There is no prerequisite to shitposting. Shitposting has an effect on the world. No other actions are required. If one chooses to shitpost and do no further actions, their shitposting contributions are as effective as other shitposting.

Do you think the Progressive Left in America conquered the political institutions of the state and various churches and the media and the educational and the cultural spheres by writing about it, by solely shit posting about it, or by doing something about it? I'm not saying the cause is lost like a doompilling faggot, I've never said that. I'm saying that salvaging America is going to require actual work and actually capturing institutions, not just shit posting.

You said

We can maybe have some effect in our local areas, but none of us are in important enough positions to change any of the larger, broader issues.

I disagree.
Broader issues can be changed by the masses of the population demanding changes. If the shitposting opinions of non-elite didn't matter, they would completely ignore them. If the peasants are allowed to create a shitposting cacophony, a peasant revolt will break out over some small random spark started by some crackhead.

All societies are pyramid shaped to some degree. The feedback mechanism for the base to inform the upper layers is not for the base to all become elected officials and beaurocrats. The feedback mechanism is angry yelling and revolt.

If non-elites want change they are better served shitposting, boycotts (like Bud Light and Target), refusal to pay taxes, noncompliance, parallel economies, and if it comes time for action: angry demonstrations of the size of their force, throwing tea in the harbor, tar & feathering, running them out of town, and if it comes to it—watering the tree of liberty.

Spoiler: P.S.

I do not appose attending city council meetings, or running for school board. I appose the idea that it should be done instead of shitposting, or that shitposting has little to no effect.

Biden is still the ultimate authority of America for the next seven days.

"Never underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up"

A lot can still happen in 7 days!

So I guess to end off before end of Biden administration we get one finale report around midnight.

the capstone of biden adminstration

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump "inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence" on Jan. 6 and knowingly spread an objectively false narrative about election fraud in the 2020 election, special counsel Jack Smith said in a report defending his investigation made public early Tuesday.

The 170-page report summarized Smith's investigation into President-elect Donald Trump's efforts to maintain power after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, which culminated in the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Smith — who has been the subject of unending criticisms by Trump, whose allies have suggested the special counsel should now face criminal charges — used the report to deliver a full-throated defense of his decision to charge Trump and opined that — if it wasn't for Trump's election in November that prevented the prosecution from moving forward — the case would have ended in the president-elect's conviction.

“Indeed, but for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial," Smith's report stated.

The report says that Trump spread claims that were "demonstrably and, in many cases, obviously false" and that Smith's office determined that "Trump knew that there was no outcome-determinative fraud in the 2020 election, that many of the specific claims that he made were untrue, and that he had lost the election."


The report brings to an end a chapter in American history that saw, for the first time, a former president indicted on federal charges only to go on and be re-elected and, in a few days, returned to power. Trump fought to keep the report secret, but last-minute requests to prohibit the release were refused.

Smith, who resigned Friday, also wrote a second volume of his report focused on the separate charges brought against Trump over his handling of classified documents, but that part of the report was not released because charges against two of Trump's co-defendants are still pending.

The Biden administration is poised to try to lower the amount of nicotine in tobacco products, an eleventh-hour effort that’s been years in the making.

At what point does California's mismanagement become treason?

At the point when 3 more fires started a few hours ago for literally no reason. Like, dear lord this is the worse amount of fires we have had in a long time. If another paradise happens, 2019 will seem like a joke

Wow, you sure convinced me. Guess we should just embrace Globalism!

He's a retard that ought to stay in the Fallout and Star Wars threads.

I think "shitposting" actually matters. Defiance is contagious. That's why allowing disruptive mongrels in classrooms ruins education.

Null contined to host this "seemingly unimportant" website out of pure spite, even when it must have felt like all hope was lost. They went through great troubles to shut this site down, exposing themselves in the process. They showed how they control and collude. They showed what tools they use to inflict pain. They showed their weaknesses too. And, they have showed they are not all-powerful.

Today, you can say "fuck trannies" on X, and maybe tomorrow you will be able to say it on Facebook. And maybe someday Sneed Social will be the platform that gets a President elected. Keep shitposting.

The posts on websites like this contribute to the society we live in. How many memes that originated on some backwater website have spread and infected the most normie of places.

Maybe posting about a plan to throw tea in the harbor might inspire somebody. Maybe making a simple image that says "It's okay to be White" will effect the course of history. Maybe retards on Reddit buying a bunch of GameStop stock affected real world changes.

The founding fathers of America were shitposters. If you think shitposting is ineffective, then you are unAmerican. It is the duty of all patriots to shitpost and call elected officials hermaphrodites, and plan out autistic new forms of government, that have never been tried before.

They wouldn't have struggled so much to tame this site if they still didn't worry about dissent.

This sort of shit always just feels useless because of all the various get out clauses. That are no doubt written in to the legislation. You know like it only applies to a cigarettes brand that by complete and utter coincidence did not make massive monetary contributions to Biden and Democrat war funds. Or has an exclusion zone of factory's where a major donor/lobbyist owns them all.
People should stop smoking and get healthy. It was a great mistake of governments around the world to promote it in the first place. And in some places say it was healthy, for the 30 pieces of silver.

I find it suspect as hell that they push to ban cigarettes while simultaneously pushing weed.

For some reason, a lot of people want to stop actual long term studies in to the effects of weed. It is highly suspect as to why that is. I don't know why they don't just kidnap Snoop and do a full range of tests on him. He has smoked it so often that i bet he is more plant than man now.
I also find it funny that vaping, is also being cracked down on. Partly by big tobacco as well. Because i remember when vapes started on the scene "stop smoking by doing vape" and "vape is healthy", were the words by governments. Now last year "the vape is killing people" is suddenly the new hot message.

You're still breathing in toxins either way, one kind just keeps you more pacified than the other.

Without getting tinfoil hat-y, as an indigenous person from a tribe that views tobacco as sacred/purifying/a gift from the creator that wards off evil - I also side eye TPTB's vilification of tobacco, while simultaneously pushing the devil's lettuce. I personally think tobacco raises people's vibrations/awareness/alertness levels, and TPTB don't want to encourage people to "wake up". They'd rather people get zooted af & become functioning zombies due to extra-potent modern weed strains (modern weed is a hell lot stronger than the stuff from the 70's).

I can't stop people from sucking down on a car exhaust in a packet. But i can certainly tell the government, not to lie to me and tell me it's healthy. Because they have their wallets stuffed by the bastards who make it.

It used to be doctors recommending such and such brand of cigarette, now they’re recommending such and such strain. Watch the lobbying mutate into Big Tobacco’s.
