If auspost HR ask this is a parody acount.
- www.news.com.au/travel/trave... has anyone told @trashfuture.bsky.social that the hoons have gone green.
- Somthing that strikes me about the modern American right is how the levels of cop and influencer brain leaves them impotent even when in power to actually deploy violence against there enemies. Demoralising your opponents political networks through terrorism is the job of the klan not the police.
- If you won't stop posting you can't organise a clandestine paramilitary, you need to have a high level of social trust to form a lynch mob, you can't turn actions taken under night and fog into tiktok reels. So instead you try and swat people either conventionally or via the ballot box.
- you can infact resource this problem but right wing oligarchs won't not because of morali but because they want to help the cause in a way that they can claim as philanthropic donations. So instead you let useful psychos become spree shooters or wash out of the 47 ice training.

- It's not shocking your Middle Roman Republic LARP country wants allies that have no seperate foreign policy, seamlessly integrate into your military and fight what ever battles they are told in return for being able to control their own bin collection, but even rome had that deal fall apart.
- Look is 22% PHON primary vote good? no. Am I looking forward to the four corners episode after Pauline alienate this generation of PHON cadre with increasingly petty authoritarianism and ludicrous scams? Absolutely.
- I've been a postie for 13 years and i can't stress enough the punters love it when you sing to your self it's great pr Bezos is an idiot.
- This is the fucking limit. I had no idea that Amazon drivers AREN'T ALLOWED TO SING wat CRUSH this monopoly wtf my levels were already redlining www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

- An unspoken part of this is that absolutely no one wants to take IRI true believer refugees, this makes an idealized clean regime change undesirable even if they could get the shah back with an 80% mandate.
- Also I'm sure this Turkish journalist has 0 interest in any land in North West Iran.
- This is why I'm a first worldist like the French 3rd estate In the 1780's it's up to the masses inside the United States to move history forward, and that is going to suck for them.
- I do feel bad for ordinary Americans, I really do. But evenly I do feel with increasing sincerity that the US is the Great Satan and it's dissolution will usher in a golden age for humanity
- You don't have to be so negative about it, sure a 10 million of them might die in the crucible of history but they will get to be the protagonists of reality.

- Raising a 7 and 5 Y/O on the street I grew up on, they ask me to call ahead to organise playdates with kids who live two houses down. They can just yell over the fence, But the other parents all grew up in the suburbs so they don't act normal.
- It can't be stressed how many used needles there were on this block in the 90's, and yet my mum was fine with me going as a 5 year old halfway down the block to check in on my friends.

View full threadThis is a quote from LBJ who was a Democrat speaking to the Greek ambassador in 1964. "Fuck your parliament and your constitution. America is an elephant. Cyprus is a flea. Greece is a flea. If these two fleas continue itching the elephant, they may just get whacked good ... "
- "We pay a lot of good American dollars to the Greeks, Mr. Ambassador. If your Prime Minister gives me talk about democracy, parliament and constitution, he, his parliament and his constitution may not last long ..." In 1967 the LBJ backed a coup that installed a military Junta.

- Well look you have to respect his commitment to never admitting he made a minor mistake on the internet. It was not, apparently, our job to educate him.
- Yes that was what the Nazis wanted contenintal domination in return for the UK keeping the empire. Also cobber I think you are mixing this I'm just telling you the scholarly consensus that Nazis wanted a deal, not that I think the British should of taken it.
- Also wanted is an understatement the Nazis NEEDED a deal in mid 1940. Yet had a military incapable of forcing a deal (had the wrong bombers, didn't have the shipping for an invasion, and had just crippled there navy fucking about it Norway) so gave up and bet everything on Barbarossa.

- With the exception of the German navy (who's planning was deeply unserious) the Nazi's based their war plans around the idea either the British would not fight or they would come to a negotiated settlement after a short decisive campaign.

View full threadOne of the unspoken issues with trying to professionalize American law enforcement is while at most we have a few dozen law enforcement agencies they have 17,895.
- NSW's population is between the size of Washington state and Virginia, each have in excess of 200+ police agencies. Before you could bring about late 20th century levels of professionalism you would need late 19th century levels of organisation.

- Not just there either, if you acknowledge the actual balance of forces in mid 1940 you start to wonder why the UK evacuated Narvik.

- Just another way to childishly rebel against his Moscow line parents.
- The key fact is that the US has been trying with more or less focus to overthrow PSUV for two decades they basically set the rules of the game in 2002 when they backed the coup against the overwhelming popular Chavez. And under that circumstance it's deranged to talk about unfair elections in 2024.
- And really if your on the left in Latin America now what is the argument against a Vanguard party dictatorship if you ever get a chance to do one.
- In defense of my discipline, we do not, in fact, all agree to that. Indeed, the general view from a military perspective is that the Wehrmacht succeeded (to the degree it did) substantially despite Hitler. I'm not sure many serious historians of any field would label him a 'genius.'

- Wrong to seek a technical explanation for what was at root a political problem, the elite of french society especially the officer corps was lousy with reactionaries, and when you dig into a failure of personel equipment or doctrine you often find various forms of haphazard coup proofing.

- I can actually think of a few worse possibilities in than even Roosters Haganah, but the question is how do even legalise one ethnic militia without opening the door to others?
- How would you develop a legal framework to arm one ethno-religious communities amature paramilitary force that didn't leave the door open to a whole class of suburban lunatics who's folks got pulled out of displaced persons camps in late 40's Europe, to insist on one of their own.

- The irony of course is that the various 2 church 1 pub farming towns that Anglos scattered over the imperial frontier were much more economically sustainable before the automobile.

- I would be willing to back banning the teen social media ban on the condition that the kids get a publicly owned teen only site just for them and it functioned like a late aughts social network. Get the ABC or Australia Post to run it

- I mean the problem with the Sydney Metro is that it was driven south into Waterloo largely at the insistence of the police and treasury to enable the privatisation of a large public housing estate.
- I'm trying to imagine a more perfect Centre Unity brain worm than this, just a ringing the dinner bell for every nonce in Australia in order to cut down on the number of teachers fed members you have to deal with in a suburban ALP meeting, outstanding stuff.
