Remember kids, the US government would absolutely never explicitly kidnap and traffick thousands of children for the sole purpose of sexual favors and blackmail. They’re the good guys.

Direct message

Turns out that’s what happens when the former hegemon gets a bit too big for their breeches and lets the mask slip.

That’s pretty much exactly it, if you ever talk to Trump supporters.

Yeah racism, bigotry, etc is their solution; but they mostly care about why groceries are expensive, why rent is expensive, why they can apply for a thousand jobs and get one singular interview for a job that doesn’t pay enough for anything. Dems failed to do the bare minimum, acknowledge that the vast majority of people in the US are struggling due to systemic issues. Trump acknowledged that and offered solutions, even if they’re horrifying. Even the trans stuff and other “culture war” items are rooted in financial stress.

The fediverse can be confusing, especially for people brain damaged enough to be liberal.

The Rothschilds collectively are the wealthiest in the world that we know about, excluding figurehead royalty due to disputes on what they actually own and how to separate them from the state.

One important thing to know is that wealth isn’t publicly listed anywhere. The vast majority of it is self reported. Sure if you own enough stock as a percentage of a company’s total you get publicly listed, and theoretically if you’re stupid your real assets are in your name, but that isnt how wealth is held. Wealth is held in private corporations, estates, and trusts, layers of them. It’s why the wealthy can avoid taxes in the first place, there is no accurate measure of it all.

Those Forbes lists, for example? Entirely self reported, famously so as that’s how Trump was ever listed as a billionaire despite (best reporting and federal investigations showing) him never having any combination of assets that could be totaled near a billion.

The real people with the real wealth, not tech bros with overvalued stock, don’t have assets directly attributable to them anymore, they learned their lesson back when American workers fought the US military for basic workers rights and Russian workers were beheading tsars.

Because liberal brainwashing is hard to shake and they’ve painted Trump as the next Hitler when he’s just the monopoly man if he was hit on the head as a child, i.e. just a politician that’s maybe a little dumber than normal.

Trump will do whatever old money wants him to do, Elon and Trump will learn who actually runs the country, and who actually has wealth if they stray from what old money wants.

As far as anyone can tell old money wants the world to burn in a way they believe is reversible, which isn’t nuclear war.

Dprk has been food stable for a decade, and their leadership seems pretty good given they’ve managed to stave off invasions and us meddling for so long.

By giving aid to those that need it regardless of whose in charge. And Muslim women aren’t cattle, even in extreme regressive versions of Islam. This shows an inherent misunderstanding of why the repressive rules were created, which will lead to failure in understanding how to correct it.

No, Russias peace plan is the separatist nations get to exist, and Ukraine doesn’t get NATO bases so they can’t build up a second attack any time soon.

Russia has been quite reasonable throughout.

But I was assured by the ncd guys that Russia would choke on Kursk and balkanize any day now that Biden let Ukraine strike inside Russia!

I’m pretty sure they don’t care about being noticed, and would rather the US and the West fuck off entirely from affairs that don’t involve them.
