People trust the mpd to murder, steal, and torture. The pigs have established trust.

Oink oink oink piggies throw yourselves in the sea of Galilee.

Going from top left to bottom right; An image of biden consulting with several men. The caption says "Opinion, Biden tells Syrian activists he still thinks assad must go". The colors have been distorted to a sickly shade and the image has been manipulated with an unsettling wave. Image: Assad holding his ear to listen attently. Image: Biden looking pained, staring down at his lectern. Above his head the words "IT'S JOEVER" are prominently displayed. The colors have been distorted to look sad and oppressive. Image: Two chads, their heads replaced with a smiling assad and a coronavirus particle, are doing a jumping high five. Behind them a smiling Assad stands in front of an electoral map of the US showing Assad with 538 electoral college votes and Trump and Biden with 0. There is a hexbear logo in the bottom right. The background is an offensively bright shade of pink with the words "It's Joever" repeated over and over and over again, canted at an angle

 

Fuckers ignored the entire unhcr report except for the birth rate decline graph and now, mostly for my own insanity, i'm trying to find demographics numbers from '22 and '23. Looks like the west just completely lost interest, i'm struggling to find anything from the last two years. Anyone got numbers? What little i've seen has been a pretty wild range from ~10, which would be fairly normal, to around ~6, which if accurate would suggest something drastic had happened. But, like, every goddamn article is Zenz bullshit from '21 so idfk. Need some help.

 

Uncle Ho, Mao, Stalin, Marx, Engels, Che, Lenin, Asata Shakur looking down from atheist heaven with pride. Dunno how Asata got to atheist heaven she's still alive and will in Cuba afaik.

 

Our posting power remains unrivalled. If they hadn't banned /r/CTH years ago they would have had to do it today.

 

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

Apparently a lot of folks don't know this; The DNC and RNC run the debates jointly, setting the rules and expectations. Allegedly debate questions are not given to the candidates in advance but who knows.

The CPD was established in 1987 by the chairmen of the Democratic and Republican Parties to "take control of the presidential debates".[

At a 1987 press conference announcing the commission's creation, Fahrenkopf said that the commission was not likely to include third-party candidates in debates, and Kirk said he personally believed they should be excluded from the debates.

In 1988, the League of Women Voters withdrew its sponsorship of the presidential debates after the George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis campaigns secretly agreed to a "memorandum of understanding" that would decide which candidates could participate in the debates, which individuals would be panelists (and therefore able to ask questions), and the height of the lecterns. The league rejected the demands and released a statement saying that it was withdrawing support for the debates because "the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter."[5]

n May 2024, the Biden and Trump campaigns struck a deal to circumvent the CPD and participate in two debates (on CNN on June 27 and ABC News on September 10), breaking a longstanding tradition of debates organized under the auspices of the CPD.[10] The CNN debate will be "open to any presidential candidate who consistently polls above 15 percent in approved public surveys and is on enough state ballots to win a majority of electoral college votes."[10] The future of the CPD was thrown into doubt.[12]

Lol. Lmao

All those bernie bros wanted her to retire and not officiate large events with many participants because they hate to see a girlboss winning.

I like when the president does legal things, like dragging all of his political enemies out in the street and garroting them with piano wire. I do not like when the president does illegal things (there are literally no illegal things)

Aww, you really get me!

 

I was having a vibe after reading some dreary shit about advertising. Remember, a weapon is only as good as the hand that wields it.

Description: against a painfully pink backdrop a drone carrying a sign that says "MARRY AND REPRODUCE" is overlaid by crossed hammers. Garish spraypainted title text reads "HEXBEAR TIP" flanked by two vaporwave hexbear logos. A text box at the bottom reads "No one wants drone advertising poisoingi the skies but how can you stop it? drones are small and far away in the sky! but drone operators are aon the ground and they can't fly their drones with broken thumbs. stay woke!!@!"

 

Not working right now and listening to trueanon talk about selling shirts at trump rallys. Things are going to be insufferable for the next few months, and i'm not working. Should i make some drumpf/brandon merch and try to cash in?

 

Hell to the yeah

 

Because the USSR was "authoritarian" and that makes them right wing.

Political Science is a real field of inquiry and Political Scientists are real scientists who deserve to be taken seriously, and other lies.

big-honk

The shit political scientists say is just baffling. Like whether you like the USSR or not, defining right wing politics as being "authoritarian" is just bizzarely ignorant and weird. And, like, the definition of a nation state is partially an entity which effectively monopolizes the legitimate use of force within it's borders, so what the fuck does authoritarian even mean? Authority is the definition of a state, it's what makes a state a state. Fucks sake.

 

I have enshrined the mod report when some nerd reported me.

Eew. A story about how evil and cruel America is doing a collab with a story justifying all of america's evil and cruelty.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

This is absolutely omnicidal insanity. The American regime is signing a writ of execution for humanity. Wet bulb events that can potentially cause mass casualty events, death at a level inconceivable even after Covid, are a reality right now and they're doing trade protectionism to stop more efficient power generation. Madness. Unbelievable, inhuman madness.

I like that analysis, thank you.

You love to see it. It's wild how outright piracy has become a normal tool of international diplomacy.

It's not not cyberpunk.

It's close enough and shares enough of the same things to be analyzed as part of the genre.

I do think that to a large extent the big evil bowling ball of doom is supposed to abstractly represent capital or something adjacent.

Things like the depiction of the indigenous resistance movement as unsophisticated dupes and terrorists merits analysis; why did the French director depict them this way? How can this be a reflection of French colonial history? Same with the depiction of the white Archeologists and the presumably middle easter kid subjected to colonialism in the beggining though I think there's less there.

Leelu can be analyzed through the "born sexy yesterday" trope and there's a lot of questions to ask from a Feminist slant.

The movie actually acknowledges some of the harms and contradictions of capitalism, while underplaying others. Showing the relationship between Corben as a cabby working for Zorg and ultimately being one of the people who thwarts Zorg is nice.

The decision to never have the protagonists and the antagonists directly interact is a neat one and opens up some very good questions about narrative norms - turns out the hero doesn't actually need to confront the villain!

It does have a lot of cyberpunk themes; mighty and powerful corporations and governments can't save themselves so they need a working class guy and his weird buddies to save the world. The upper classes are depicted as a gaggle of decadent idiots who have no idea what's happening, while the corporate leader is a hyper-competent bastard who completely understands all the harm his sytem causes and loves it.

And it's also just a silly adventure film with lots of style and cool visuals and a sappy power of love resolution.
