mossad is a woke communist DEI institution! they literally have only ever been lead by Jewish people, google it! clearly DEI position

it's so fucking funny to watch

tik tok is back for US users with this glazing lmao. so funny the Dems set this shit up. 170 million US users being told "trump saved the day!" by the app they like that was going to get removed

not seen anybody mention the news of China banning the export of gallium, germanium, and antimony to all but a few trusted known civillian sources that they will be keeping tabs on to stop it flowing to military uses; it's a small market where everybody knows everybody so it's easy to trace back illicit trading of these materials from verified civillian contractors to millitary ones. they have also banned sales to known European traders that resell during times of high demand. these materials are very key for modern military assets and Washington has not found a new source of them. China produces well over half of the worlds germanium and almost alll of the gallium, there are not just alternatives that can fill that demand. lots of big names on the ban list like boeing, lockhead, raytheon, BAE ect

https://kdwalmsley.substack.com/p/panic-in-global-metals-markets-as?triedRedirect=true substack article I read on it https://www.ft.com/content/85c875f7-f7c7-41d6-b635-fd7a51074a34 FT copium about how they can totally solve this

knowing the luck of the US, they'll stumble upon a massive reserve of the metals somewhere in Idaho or some shit under a farm in 2 weeks

I hope more African countries assert their sovreignity over goods like cocoa and coffee. these are HUGE treat economies that literally cannot be grown in Europe and North America. I know one or two West African countries have made some moves, but the Swiss and French are still making 10000% markup on what they pay for this stuff

funny how the US launched F35s against a Chinese balloon after days of non stop press about it, but the oh so mysterious drones off New Jersey are at once nothing to worry about but also ominous and spooky. they know what the fuck they are, this is the Americans we're talking about they'd shoot it just for laughs let alone perceived threat. they're absolutely American tech

the cycles between mod overreach backlash keep getting shorter and shorter

there's no way this Luigi guy is the shooter. the eyebrows just do not match with the CCTV of the shooting. I feel like some kinda tinfoil hat mfer just saying that lmao, but yeah I do not buy this

hexbear doomers discover the demiurge

'yeah ok it's not perfect, it's mass produced chocolate' and 'it actually contains a fuck load of lead' are two very different things lmao

I think carcosa going to self crit about the moderation process that lead to backlash is the exact reason I like them being a community mouthpiece and decision maker. we all make mistakes, but owning up to that, especially to some people who are pissed off about it, is very good community leadership

this idea a candidate cannot fail, only be failed, is so fucking childish. you have to convince people to support your position, via policies you argue for in an attempt to win people over. you can only fail because either A) those voters were never going to won over to that position, or B) you made a shit argument for the policies. that's the supposed nature of how this whole liberal democracy thing is supposed to work on paper. remember that? the whole democracy thing these libs keep screaming needs to be saved? the principle of democracy is convincing voters to vote for you, not brow beat them into doing so
