  • Under the plan, all 18-year-old men will from next year have to fill in a questionnaire on whether they would want to serve and undergo an armed forces physical test. No one will be compelled to join the Bundeswehr, however, said Defence Minister Boris Pistorius. He has advocated instead a campaign to make military service more attractive to draw more male and female recruits.

    And where the fuck are you?

    Why don’t presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

    “Other European countries, especially in the north, show that the principle of voluntary service combined with attractiveness works, and I expect the same here.”

  • I mean, you still see so-called centrists and alleged leftists going hysterical over the term deplorables.

    Do I? That’s not the critique of the campaign I’ve seen leftists fixate on. Meanwhile, centrists still venerate and emulate her. Hell, the Harris campaign poached heavily from Hillary’s 2016 team and adopted much of her “bring on board as many ‘moderate Republicans’ as you can” strategy.

    I grew up around a metric shit-ton of deplorables.

    There’s this idea that people who disagree with you politically are sub-human. And then there’s this consequential idea that “we need to win the sub-human voters” whenever you’re down in the polls. The end result of these combined theories of politics is a liberal party that constantly flirts with fascism under the table, while denouncing it from the front-page.

    Consequently, you have people in your party viewing you as a corrupt and compromised candidate while people in the opposition party see you as a huckster and your base as suckers you’ve gulled into support. This is, incidentally, how Republicans saw their own liberal candidates in 2016. And its a fact Hillary leveraged to spoil Bush and Kasich via media back channels.

    What she didn’t consider was the appeal of open and honest fascism when stacked up against two-faced neoliberal pandering. It cost her the race in 2016. And it cost her heir apparent the race eight years later.

    Sheeple running around a black cube to worship some imaginary sky-friend.

    Thanks, kid. I never thought about it this way before. Stupid idiots are gathering together in celebration of a shared philosophy that spans race, language, and over a millennium of social change? I can’t believe anyone would waste so much time and energy to visit an archeological touchstone and show even a modicum of awe.

    The Kabba is going on my shit list right alongside the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Hagia Sophia, and Tenochtitlan. Sheeple! SHEEPLE!









  • No no no. You don’t understand. People simply don’t understand that Donald Trump was a friend of Jeffery Epstein and a frequent flier on the Lolita Express. They don’t understand that he’s a filanderer and a creep who routinely sexually assaults women. They don’t understand that he’s involved in criminal misconduct and has broken the law.

    It’s not that Trump is somehow immune from prosecution, under both D and R administrations going back decades. It’s just that we haven’t seen the files yet. Once the files are released, everything changes. You just wait. As soon as Robert Mueller gets his hands on those documents…
