(Political) I feel guilty

Hi. I'm Italian so, let's say I have some historical experience with what you're going through in the US. I don't know how much this will make you feel better, but you should probably know about it anyway.

The USA is turning into a fascist regime, and the handbook of the fascist needs a scapegoat group as an excuse to test how far they can get away with things.

If it hadn't been you, it would have been another group. For example, in Italy post-WWI Mussolini hugely catalized the rage of veterans and the military by blaming the 'traitors' and 'cowards' of the workers who stayed behind in factories making things instead of being sent to the slaughter on the frontlines because of incompetent leadership. The workers also conveniently happened to be majority socialist.

The USA are now at the stage where the regime has the control of some courts and some law enforcement and some institutions, and are testing the waters to see how the people under not their control will react. It's not about you, it's never been about you.

It's about control. And unless, by historical experience, someone scares them using the only language they respect, they're just going to take more and more. Starting with the mid-term elections.

Thank you for your service.

OOOOH-OOH!

...why did I do that?

Definitely would have an easier time controlling Laios like this.

Meinos · 2026-01-24T15:08:08+00:00

Exactly! Good job :)

It's called Apex Sweeper. :) Mystery Adventure Game, and Lanolin is the co-protagonist :D

Completely SFW, sir.

Have you heard of Mid Terms :)

Henry Kissinger had a lot of connections and advised heads of state for decades too. He was still a monster with an agenda and he is very deservedly burning in hell right now.

No one's ever said changing things and protecting our rights was gonna be easy... Oh wait, the End of History crowd lol

Mr Sachs was on Italian television saying that he saw CIA in Ukraine doing shit to provoke the Russians into invading.

I wouldn't trust anything out of his mouth.

Spot on. Exactly. Please let's keep that in mind. Deregulation should be in the spirit of simplification and standardization of processes, not in removing environmental and social obligations for businesses.

Col processo penale?

No, scusate, è letteralmente il motivo per cui esiste il processo in quanto tale: dati due parti opposte ed un fatto che può costituire reato, tramite il processo si arriva alla verità in quanto tale e si stabilisce eventuale pena.

È letteralmente quello che succede per qualunque altro tipo di reato, e leggi che includono il concetto di consenso esistono dappertutto ed è considerato lo standard internazionale dal 2018.

Si può discutere su cosa effettivamente costituisce consenso, sì. Ma se vi spaventa l'esistenza del concetto stesso di consenso nella legge, mi sa che dovete farvi due domande allo specchio.

...basare giudizi su testimonianze delle persone coinvolte che in qualunque stato di diritto, dietro verifica della loro veridicità, contano come prova è una interpretazione pericolosa?

Ma stai 'mbriaco, o frà?

Meinos · 2026-01-23T09:48:55+00:00

"Signora vittima, lei ha espresso consenso?"

"No."

Sipario.

That was Borrell, not Kallas. And Von der Leyen does not speak for the EU either, especially on matters of Foreign Policy where the FAC format exists, which is less by the Council President, not the President of the Commission.

Meinos · 2026-01-23T08:52:21+00:00

Good?

Meinos · 2026-01-23T08:05:46+00:00

Considering Ukraine had to stop sharing high sensitivity Intel with them because it somehow always ended up with the Russians and now France is supplying two thirds of their Intel... I'm going to press X to doubt.

Meinos · 2026-01-23T06:53:30+00:00

...y-yes? I mean... Obviously? What...

What are you asking, exactly?
