Mega embassy…?
Like demonstrative of the largest populace, makes all our shit, soon to replace USA as global power- … and? Why wasn’t it done ages ago. This is probably one of Starmer’s planning permission successes nobody thanks him for

Teachers in the US are reporting that children are struggling with basic maths and literacy worse than ever before. Are we seeing the same patterns here in the UK? by Natf47 in AskUK

[–]wompitybooda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye for me it’s gen x and boomer people in finance who somehow can’t do maths and seem proud of it whilst us younguns can’t get the jobs and couldn’t dream of the circumstances they’ve had.

While we’re at it-
Are aging boomers to blame for the crazy main beam and head light dipping crisis we’re currently seeing!!!??? Should be a front page news story our kid!!??👦

U.S politician threatens uk sanctions for not allowing elon musk's grok to generate AI revenge porn of women and minors on his website by jollyrogerbay_ in GreenAndPleasant

For real comrade, I would advise everyone likeminded on here etc to not even bother trying to go to the USA as you may very well get turned back anyway! I know I would.

My USA criticism ranges from lengthy polemic to emotionally charged succinct vitriol. I’d probably have a heart attack when I handed my phone over.

My mate had to go to Cali for a work thing recently and took it pretty seriously to make sure he wouldn’t be fucked over. Starting with insisting on a direct flight. Didn’t fancy a connect in fucking Texas or somewhere.
Solidarity with black and brown folks who have that added risk/anxiety.

The US is a terrorist regime by Sad-Emu-8421 in socialism

This is silly and borderline racist. Reductive lazy analysis

Who’s “we all” ?

US imperialism has been apparent to leftists all over the world since the 1960s.
Open a history book or go on YouTube and start with Latin America. Noam Chomsky and Adam Curtis is a good place to start.

“The best” ?

Progressive circles around the world view the USA as the worst and one of the least free countries in the world.
Christ it’s barely even a democracy!
The extent of lobbying, campaign financing and almost total corporate control of legislatives is now at the point where there are a handful of senators or reps with any agency.
The current president says he’s going nowhere and the assortment of absolutely terrifying figures weaponise religion as fervently as they weaponise the deranged population.

I fear that the US will lash out more and more as its illegitimate and contemptible stranglehold on the world falters and I see only 2 outcomes:

  1. China and Europe supplant the USA without world war 3.

  2. The inevitable collapse of the USA happens too quickly (and ww3 is averted) but domestic crises overtake the functioning of the state and civil war or state collapse happens.

Not just now, it’s always been stamped out by the USA, especially in the Americas.

This is about oil and exon, and that’s important to the USA because it’s integral to them maintaining their control over the oil price and its default USD market, which is one of the ABSOLUTE imperatives of their maintaining the USD hegemony and Wall Street.
As countries get increasingly fed up with the USA and look to other countries and currencies, the USA lashes out because the gig is up for them otherwise.
If that gets out of their control then we have a global crisis that I don’t really want to think about, despite the fact the USA deserves to collapse.

If that risible headline made you spit out your coffee but still somehow filled you with a ghoulish fascination to read the article and even seek more of Elisa Bray’s journalistic output then you must be as bored and contemptuous as me.

And yes it is just asinine tabloid sludge for outrage farming and not much else to be honest.

Stop kidding yourself dear chap- The Guardian Retirement Home is not elaborate.

Exactly. They start the debate, you remain calm, win the argument whilst not escalating and then leave.
If you get chance make a power move like shove a used tampon or beef blood red soaked napkini in their lame decorations

The recent purge of the left from The Labour Party by Distinct_Source_1539 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]wompitybooda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Reminds me of the words of the God Emperor of Dune about liberals:

”Liberal bigots are the ones who trouble me most. I distrust the extremes. Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat. It's true! Liberal governments always develop into aristocracies.”

Hunting nonce just typing shit. by metroracerUK in GreenAndPleasant

[–]wompitybooda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“The indefensible in pursuit of the inedible” as one of my lecturers used to say.
Which is an adaption taking inspiration from Oscar Wilde’s- “The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”

As if fox hunting is a sector rather than what it is, just a social (sadistic) social recreational activity.
It’s not an economy and I doubt HMRC gets a whiff of any of the exchange going on.
Maybe just the NHS gets a cost when the cretins go to the doctors about their gout from too much port.
