Apparition of Jack

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that there’s something truly deeper going on and all the rage, chaos, selfishness, greed etc we’re seeing happen on the world stage is just the external manifestation of humanity as a species having to deal with all the latent corruption and bias we haven’t yet dealt with over the last 200 years. It’s like, prior to all this even good-hearted people more or less accepted warfare, poverty, ecological destruction, etc as “facts of life” that at best could be mitigated with good policies, but as more time goes on the more I feel even that is simply far too limited thinking. Fundamentally, we are going through a test to see if we collectively can just genuinely see the basic humanity in everyone else and if we can put our limited ego-differences aside for the sake of union / community / love / healing / peace etc. Why does it have to be like this? Why does there have to be so much random anger and hatred and darkness and chaos out there for us to go through this? I don’t know. I’m not one to ask things bigger than myself. But I do sincerely believe this isn’t all for nothing, that there is something better in the works, and that we can’t lose hope and faith that the way things are is the way they’ll always be. Eventually goodness and light shine through.

Bro traded zen for rizz

Speak for yourself imma ride that little auto toot-toot motherfucker like a badass

@sholomar They did. The Republicans shot it down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_policy_of_the_Joe_Biden_administration?wprov=sfti1#Bipartisan_Border_Security_Bill_(2023-2024) >It was negotiated in a bipartisan manner and initially looked like it had the votes to pass until Donald Trump opposed it, citing that it would boost Biden's reelection chances.[81][79]

Meh, this isn’t too unusual IMO. Once someone is worth $100 million+ they pretty much gain access and connections to all elite institutions, not just the ones they came out of. Like, why do British royals, stock brokers, Hollywood actors and university professors all hang out with each other? They call come from completely different fields. The answer is simply wealth and influence - if you have both all sorts of people will come knocking on your door.

Old systems are breaking down, people are slowly waking up, but this means that those old systems will fight extra hard to legitimise themselves in the minds of the people. It’s why Trump’s approval rating with Republicans went up after the Epstein allegations came out. People have so deeply, deeply bought into the delusion that Trump is a good man that even the most glaring evidence that he isn’t causes a (short-term) spike in popularity as his supporters “rally around the leader” to reinforce that delusion. I see this is a test of faith in basic human decency and material truth. There are so, so many forces attempting to convince people that: - unrepentant greed is good for the world - humans are above nature - certain races are genetically superior to others - America is uniquely favoured by the universe and above “lesser” rules Etc etc. That’s why everything feels so chaotic and nonsensical lately. I say just hold the line. If you were in Europe in 1941, Germany wouldve seemed unstoppable - France had fallen, Britain was on the backfoot, and Hitler was about to take Moscow - but less than four short years later Hitler was dead, the Third Reich in ruins and Nazism/ultranationalism forever discredited on the world stage. Democracy and kindness proved stronger in the end. I don’t know what else to say beyond this. It sometimes fucks with me too. I just hold onto faith and trust that darkness is only as powerful as people believe in it and eventually light always shines through. This, too, shall pass, after all.

No.

Alright. Point taken. I do still suspect he got up to some shady shit with Epstein though.

I’m reminded of Disney cartoons mocking Hitler, Mussolini etc during WW2 to invigorate the populace and improve morale. I can understand the desire to appeal to decorum, truly I do, but sometimes you just have to face the fact that the things some people do truly are that ridiculous / destructive that the only way to get people to wake up is to point them out for the crass buffoons that they are. Donald Trump, Stephen Miller etc are not mere victims of circumstance. They’re adult beings will full agency over their actions. If they wilfully use their power to steal from the economy, promote violent hatred and rape the civil institutions that prevent society from collapsing, fuck em, they should’ve known better. EDIT: Donald Trump is literally a child rapist who uses his power and influence to avoid punishment for his crimes. You can’t get much more foul than that.

This is just what the world needs right more. More gloves-off satire and mockery of the clear insanity that is the Trump regime. The scenes at the Trump White House genuinely reminded me of old early-2000s South Park, lmao. His bullshit needs to highlighted for what it is.

Dude was a globe-trotting crack-smoking escort-banging playboy millionaire, he probably knows a thing or two on how to look fashionable

Their endgame? Collect all the infinity stones to snap NATO out of existence, I imagine.

Is there any way to nuke the global debt system without destroying society as we know it? lol

To be fair most Jews did live in the West before then. Eastern Europe had basically turned into the Jewish homeland.

No, im not sure where you got that. I’m generally pro-Palestine, it’s just that I see a lot of toxicity in the Palestinian side too. I think both the Israeli government and Hamas are scumbags, truthfully. I think violence causes more problems than it solves. And I think both sides misunderstand each other.
