This is an open problem for advocates of the Dark Enlightenment theory (Wikipedia) like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin.
One of the most commonly discussed solutions is to surgically implant explosive devices into the bodies of your lead security force.
support the DNC vocally
Why should we support the DNC when the leadership of the DNC is supporting Trump’s war crimes?
Read the responses from Jeffries and Schumer- they aren’t the opposition party, they are manufacturing consent for this ‘military operation’.
If we actually want to change the situation we need to fix the DNC, not blindly support it.
If you’re really into Catholic lore and mythology, then yes, the Pope’s word holds a lot of weight. They believe in papal infallibility, which means that when the Pope meets certain very specific criteria, he is literally speaking for God and is thus perfect and unquestionable.
Regular normie Catholics? They believe in the Pope the same way they believe in the Bible: it is the true word of God, but it’s too much of a bother to actually read it. They’re never reading papal edicts, they’re just reading news headlines about the pope like everyone else.
Suicidal thoughts in response to this news is really concerning. From what I understand, you aren’t being personally affected by this news. Go take care of yourself. Touch grass or do whatever you need to do.
I think it will help to have a broader perspective. The US spends over $1 trillion each year on violence. When the bombs stop, then profits drop, and this is not acceptable to the capitalist class. When we stopped spending $60bln in Afghanistan, we instantly started spending $60bln in Ukraine. Now Ukraine is winding down, we will spend it on Venezuela. After that, Panama? Greenland? Cuba? Mexico? This cycle will continue until the military industrial complex is dismantled. That is unlikely to happen in our lifetimes.
You are on the ethically correct side, and that matters. I find inspiration in the many generations of people who fought against slavery in the US. So many people, so many generations fought to end slavery, and most did not live to see the successful end. We must continue to fight, even if we do not see success in our lifetimes, we lay the groundwork for future generation’s success. We owe it to them.
And if you do choose to end yourself, I respect your bodily autonomy, but please make sure you are of sound mind when you make that very serious decision. And consider following in the holy footsteps of Saint Luigi of Baltimore.
Perry Bible Fellowship is not low effort, newspaper quality, nor rage bait.
Maybe OP is a repost bot or plant or whatever, but PBF is a top-tier internet comic.
The Iraq War didn’t end when we killed Saddam, that was really only the beginning.
Why would they sell? US bonds are welfare for rich people; it’s a guaranteed solid ROI that underwrites their riskier investments.
I think it would take a crash of the global financial system to fundamentally change the logic of the bond market. We haven’t seen a crash that devastating since WWII.
We can agree that there will most likely not be a mass popular uprising for Maduro and Chavism.
I believe there will be a mass popular uprising against Trump and the puppet government of Machado.

You’re really begging for downvotes with this comment, but I’m curious: how do you see this situation playing out? Do you think a couple steps ahead, or just react?
My guess is that is going to go like this:
MBFC
Do you have a less biased or more credible source for this fact check?
The Grayzone is worthy of valid criticism, but MBFC does not provide valid criticism, it is rightwing propaganda.
Because in US politics, we generally have three types of politicians: MAGA, corporate Republicans, and corporate Democrats.
Mamdani represents a possible fourth way, a way that (hopefully) values workers over capital.
When he says “billionaires shouldn’t exist” he is re-affirming his commitment to this fourth way, and that is a important positive sign.
I think most billionaires are not paying either of those taxes in any significant amounts.
Most follow the buy borrow die method. Then their children just have to pay estate tax.
Advanced tax cheats like Bill Gates take it one step further by creating their own charities. You give all your money to the “charity” and give your kids full control of the “charity”. This way you can avoid paying estate tax, and you only need to give away a tiny percentage of your wealth to actual charities and PR firms to save face.
The difference is not the genre of game, but whether it is played in person or online.
In-person fighting game tournaments are generally free of cheaters, just like in-person FPS and MOBA tournaments. The few who try to cheat in these scenarios are quite obvious, and instantly caught.
Meanwhile, online fighting game tournaments are plagued by lag switches, macros, defensive overlays, frame data mods, etc.
So you’re logically consistent, and in favor of banning the most dangerous drug - alcohol. Right?
Coffee is a diuretic, it is beneficial to the kidneys and hard on the stomach.
A large percentage of cats die from kidney issues, not many die from stomach issues. So coffee is good for cats makes sense imo.
The leaders of the New Atheist movement are not heroes; they are certainly imperfect. I agree with all of your criticisms, but you say nothing of the bulk of their work.
Hitchens’ God is Not Great will stand the test of time; his Islamophobia will not.
Dawkins’ The God Delusion is still correct, despite his late-in-life transphobia and “cultural Christianity”.
Of course the US gives a shit about South Korea. Their economy is a source of profit for US capitalists, and their geography is a source of US military power.
The US defined South Korea’s borders, and the US Military Government in Korea had massive influence on their Constitution. The US added anti-communist provisions and extreme protections for business.
For most practical purposes, South Korea is a US colony, and that is quite valuable.

So your idea is that we will vote in Democrat politicians who will… Legislate themselves out of power by instituting ranked choice voting?
This part of your plan seems absurd on its face. I want ranked choice voting as much as you, but we need a realistic plan, and what you’re proposing is a pipe dream.
Voting third party is more realistic than expecting Dems to institute ranked choice.
