  • Okay, sure. Good vs Evil. I get it. And “We can only demonstrate our moral superiority by force.”

    That’s old style thinking. Those ways never last because they rely on creating a new power structure that will eventually become corrupt.

    Now is the time to learn. It’s what the upper classes fear most. We control nations with our voice, not violence. We just have to wake the fuck up and realize it.




  • I don’t disagree with you, but you’re distilling a very complex landscape into a binary. Essentially “Good” and “Bad.”

    Yes, both main parties in the US are bad, but that kind of thinking gets fascists elected. They are -not- the same because the reality of the situation is not binary.

    Lets change 白 and 黒 to Good and Bad, and re-read your argument:

    Naturally. Good and Bad parties cannot coexist since their ideologies directly oppose the other. If Good is to win, Bad must go. If you knew first-hand how stable Good parties are over Bad parties like the Democrats and Republicans, you would agree that Good is the better long term option.

    It’s a logically sound point, I just don’t see what you’re trying to say with it. We don’t have any 白 parties to choose from, but one of the two 黒 parties is at least keeping a facade of decency. That’s exploitable until we can get a 白 party elected.

    The problem in the US is that most of us can’t be inconvenienced enough to actually educate ourselves, while we blame the government for not educating our children.













  • I think so…

    The attack wasn’t the “false flag” (I think I misused that term), that was going to happen anyway. I think adding a journalist to their little group chat about it was.

    They knew it would come out, and now they have the pretext to start going more aggresively after journalists spreading “deceitful” information.

    I’m not saying I’m right, it just stinks.

    I’m not usually an alarmist, but this one has the hair on the back of my neck up…

    This feels like a false flag to target journalists spreading “misinformation.”

    I was reading the Atlantic article thinking 'What a bunch of dumb fucks." Until I read this part:

    The Hegseth message goes on to state, “Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive

    Hard stop right there. “This is intentional.”

    Then Tulsi comes out talking about “aggressively pursuing” journalists., and now P Heggs is just gonna play dumb?

    Smells pretty bad, imo.

    (False flag may not be the right term here, but I hope my point is still clear enough)
