It's sad to see this global rise in authoritarianism. With the capitalist power structures under threat the parasite class will wipe many of us out then scurry off to their bunkers before the climate collapse disables us all

    Most notably though, Washington's recent "War on Drug Trafficking" campaign is now (again) on the side of the drug traffickers after releasing Hernández to help supply Jr and Eric with all the cocaine they need to last them the rest of the presidency.

    Not shaming people for enjoying cocaine, but when your drug of choice is supplied from child labor farms in the global south where the kids are held at gunpoint, I don't really feel bad.

    They really are. The hoarding of wealth isn't seen as the disease that it is.

    The ancient Greeks knew greed was one of humanity's worst traits. Even Lycurgus knew money was a poison of the heart and banned the homoioi (spartan soldiers/equals) from owning money, they could keep goods (like food, bronze, iron, cattle etc).

    After what Luigi did to that healthcare turd, I'm honestly surprised more attempts haven't been made on Elmo's life.

    He's objectively worse for the world and he's now fucking with the global political stability. Like why hasn't Ukraine or Europe tried to 86 him because his actions are getting their soldiers killed and working for the enemy.
