What they didn't see coming was the Deep State going full mask drop. What those intelligent people now are saying, is something I've had in the back of my mind for a long time. TPTB have no timeline, their only palpable threat is entropy. They can happily let this setback trend of populism happen, and give us our wins. In 20 years though, don't be surprised if our children end up right back where we started though.
The biggest issue that they have right now, and its their biggest crux, is that their foot soldiers hate them for having light skin and want to burn Israel to the Ground for killing "poor innocent brown people". They haven't been able to fix that with them for 100 years and I don't expect them to fix that in 20 years, so when these hordes take control of Britain and France's nuclear weapons they're going to point them straight at Israel and there's nothing the jews can do about it besides point their missiles back at them, causing destruction of both sides.
 
Ignorance at a certain point is malice.
So what does that make you? If you're stuck in a circlejerk of the same people repeating the same hateful garbage and who use thought killers to mock or deride anyone else who disagrees then you're objectively in the same situation. You actually come off a bit worse because boomers don't have the familiarity with the Internet that you do.

I don't know, there's a certainl reality to changing times that i sympathize with.

You know how retarded tiktok feels to us? Like i don't give the first fuck about what anybody on tiktok has to say, it's retard central to me. Imagine something about 20 years more retarded than that and that's essentially how boomers feel about the internet as a whole.

We really shouldn't be in a time where faggots sperging out on social media flooded with chinese bots and brigading trannies is impactful on anything. But we are... And you and I only know this because we were in the trenches and saw the cause and effect of how yes, this retarded shit causes real problems.

To boomers it has always just been "kids playing with their toys". There's no accountability to it so why would anybody take it seriously? It's reasonable of htem to think that way but the fact of the matter is people do take it seriously.

I'm going to double down on the "they grew up in sane times" thing. You can say they were naive and lacked healthy skepticism but that's just a sad reminder of the overtone window's shift. What we call healthy skepticism is something we had to develop by growing up in a low trust society filled with browns, commies, and trannies scamming and manipulating at every turn. boomers didn't have to develop skepticism because they grew up around white people with common core values. To them being kind, generous, non bigoted, etc. is great because in the time they lived in that stuff worked, there weren't snakes constantly waiting to fuck you in the ass for letting your guard down.

TLDR: They group in a time with cultural cohesion which rewarded good behavior. We grew up in a time with no such thing and are aware how many people are willing to take advantage of kindness.
 
I'm no Biden defender, but he didn't say he started an insurrection, he said that he started with an insurrection, as in at the start of his term he was dealing with the aftermath of Jan 6th.
The answer is long and rambling and doesn't actually answer the question (who cares about all the shit you dealt with as president? Every president has shit to deal with, it has nothing to do with whether your brain is Swiss cheese or not). But that could be grandpa dementia rambling or it could be typical politician answer avoidance. Probably both.
 
Speaker Johnson reveals his hand and will likely lose the gavel in 2026.

Oh, The Rs are going to absolutely be routed in 2026. I'd love to be wrong but I fully expect we'll lose the House, and more than a third of the Senate will be up for grabs then too. The Dems will circle the wagons, as they always, always do, while the Rs bicker amongst themselves and thereby persuade the voters to "vote their consciences" with predictable results.
 
I thought this was already done during trials?
I know this is way late but no. Most vaccines are tested against older versions of the same vaccine or a totally different vaccine all together. So they’re kinda juking the stats of adverse reactions. They’ve ruled that it’s “unethical” to use placebo when testing vaccines because to deny the placebo group a “life saving drug” is wrong.

They’re scared to have them tested against placebo because then the amount of adverse reactions will truly be known, making more people rightfully vaccine “hesitant” and slowing the multi billion dollar a year industry that can’t be held liable for injury.

Always count on the RINOs to grasp defeat from the fucking jaws of victory. Trump and Vance really need to tard wrangle them.

You mean Democrat Billionaires like Reid Hoffman and Hansjorg Wyss flood Democrat campaigns with money to spam shitty ads that only appeal to Boomers, the biggest voting bloc. I don't expect them to win the senate though. They'd have to win 4 seats alongside fighting off attempts by Republicans to take the senate seats in Georgia and Michigan. While they can do the later, the former is a much uphill battle for them the only ones that I think they could win are North Carolina and maybe Texas but the Texas Democratic Party is so incompetent and retarded that they keep themselves from winning any big seats. I can't really think of any other seats they could challenge for, yes they just lost in Ohio in 2024 but it's an even more uphill battle for them here in 2026 since they don't have an incumbent here anymore.
 
>cereals
>soft drinks

does this mean RFK jr's MAHA will be easier considering they don't add useless shit to these things in britbong land?
I would bet the moves that RFK Jr. is making with regards to food additives were a part of making this deal acceptable to the British. And then that further reinforces what RFK Jr. is doing because he makes our food products easier to trade.
 
So what does that make you?

And out of nowhere between an unrelated series of back and forth between other posters.
:lossmanjack:
The consensus cracking urge is baked right in, isn't it?

On a charitable take I'll agree, the temptation to just go "Fuck em" and not think it through any further is always there and the reminder to give it thought is not a bad one. But most of the time it's not thoughtful or effort filled things people are saying "Fuck off retard" to, but blatant bait or one liners or something that is just surface level retarded with no further detail.

Disagreement has to have weight and a degree of sincerity to it to be measured and valued.
When it's a drive by fart that dissipates as soon as the elevator door opens it has no inherit form or intent to evaluate it besides that it smelled like shit.

And the person who delivered it's intent was just to cause a stink before running off giggling down the hallway.

Maybe if in this hypothetical, someone can be narrative terminated that easily, then they're using an incredibly predictable script or repeating something posted word for word a dozen times 3 pages back or rehashing something to waste people's goddamn time that's been already explained away or provided information to the contrary with. Because people have engaged with others who are actually putting the work in or at least making it funny. I've said some against the grain shit and had to back it up from time to time and it was business as usual.

Nobody who values their own time or recognizes patterns reasonably wants to engage with something on par with...

"Orange retard make china numba 1 china strong china economy gooder no I will not post information confirming this"
or
"Boomer generation gets too much blame, no I will not elaborate or explain the alternative causes"



I can easily find similar low effort contrarian posts on the botted comments of any MSM article or on reddit with 10K+ updoots, that caliber of keystrokes is not even a thought to engage with, there's nothing TO terminate.
In order to terminate a thought or narrative it has to have legs or the means to go anywhere besides sitting right there like a lump with nothing to grasp onto or elaborate on.


The onus of turning a pile of shit into a sculpture worth contemplating is not on me but the shitter who laid it.
