J.F. Kennedy: "The world cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor." Seems like the USA [still] has got a lot to learn...

This is why a parliamentary democracy is supreme over a winner-takes-all democracy. It's very hard to get 51% in a parliamentary democracy, without moderating coalitions.

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
Got any hops? #BeerSky

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
In the 21st century, how could you order up ethnic cleansing and genocide without a little crypto and AI and real-estate speculation sprinkled on top? { gift link } wapo.st/4g2eATo
Hey all: remember my unhoused friend who y'all helped put up in a hotel at Thanksgiving? He's moving into his own place on Monday! He needs silverware, kitchen stuff, sheets, etc. If you're local and have some extra you can spare, let me know.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
USAians, listen to Gavin. Wake up-effect.
4/4 Fourth: For lower grade or memory chips, Samsung & SK Hynix (South-Korea) are cheaper than Intel. And Xioxia (Toshiba, USA) is better at it. Intel is a dying giant, right now. They will probably survive, but their products currently are second class.
3/4 After AMD came back with ZEN, they obliterated Intel. Third: Intel outsourced the production of their most high-end chips to TSMC, in Taiwan. Yes, Intel, with their chip factories, is unable to produce their OWN high-end chips.
2/4 Intel is dependent on ASML for their chip factories, but they can't get it working properly. Unlike TSMC. Same machines, just different philosophy & engineers. Second: Intel WAS the main chip & solution provider in the 2010s, mainly because they used extortion to push AMD out of the market.
1/4 Intel. #TACO extorted Intel to give them a 10% stake in the company and now he's boosting about "the best chip producer in the world!" I call BS. First: Intel is a B-grade chip manufacturer. TSMC is the A-grade company. And ASML (located in the EU, NL) is the ONLY provider of wafer creators.
Something is happening in ruZzia. Not for nothing that #Putler is trying to save face and seeking help in Alaska.
Wauw. There were almost as many slaves as Stalin or Mao killed people after WWII. 12.5mln, according to this record. Since I am a European white male, I have a hard time understanding black USAmericans. I didn't experience their history. 12.5mln Almost as much as Stalin killed. Now it makes sense
Remember, folks, it is a CRIME to draw with sidewalk chalk on the streets and sidewalks of Washington DC so when you do it be sure to invoke your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent if asked about it. #ChalkCrime
USA, you lost. You sold your soul to Big Money. And this is what you get. Now, fuck your "supreme" court and take money out of politics, you fucking idiots.
UK-style: Hear, hear. My style: Fact.
ruZzia-only. I have not felt a "suck" for a decade, as a European, to bo honest. 😉🤣
Seriously: It SHOULD be frightening. You're in the process of a fascist take-over. You can fight back, though. No fascist government ever survived. It's just a grift.
The roots in Germany were different, since they were in a real squeeze, but social media has found a way to make-believe people they are in an existential crisis.
And I cannot shake off the similarity with 1930s Germany. People went crazy, following a charismatic leader.
Yup. I am sick & tired of "Exceptionalism". Wether it is USAmerican, Chinese, European, or whatever. Stop being stupid, ppl.
ps. fascism is the natural evolution of liberalism. Socialism is still alive in Europe, fighting liberalism.
OK. History is complicated. But I can't ignore the fact the USA has gone batshit crazy. Sorry.
Get my point? Someone mentioning Oregon doesn't tell me anything. I suppose it's in the USA, or Canada, but that's as far as my memory goes. Can be anywhere. If I ask for a package to be shipped to me, I include BE, since that's my country I live in.
ps. It's funny to see USAmericans defend their position [of not uniting with the world]...
I'd call it devolution, not evolution. Neo-liberalism is an attempt to devolute society.
You get it, but it's already worse than that. The white majority in the USA will be suppressed into idolising Hitler.
In-between Sierra Leone and Gambia.
And 57th in Press Freedom. rsf.org/en/index
This cosplay prez in the USA wants to take as many people as he can with him in his grave. Prove me wrong.
As a European, I am used to USAmericans insulting me for calling out their "exceptionalism". But honestly: I'm sick of it. You're the reason the planet is on fire, right now.
And yes, I DO feel sorry for the people living there (USA or ruZzia alike), but I can't endorse fascism.
Much like me not endorsing ruZzians. Same story. Either leave the country or be ghosted.
I'm sorry you feel you have to project your laziness upon me. Since the USA has become rogue, I only want to endorse nature pictures from outside the USA. So mentioning your origin is the least you can so.
I do. At least origin country with 2 letters. Except for USAmericans, who still think they own the world.
LoL Bye.
If #TACO gets his way, it will be worse in death-toll than slavery. Not as long, but surely devastating.
"USA fascism can NEVER be worse than slavery" Stalin killed 20+mln people AFTER WWII.
Curtis Yarvin, this C-grade philosopher, wants for-profit cities where the homeless are either locked up in a virtual reality, or excinerated to fuel the city. No joke. That's inspiring Peter Thiel & Elon Musk.
Which literally means back to the Wild West. But that has been romantized. Fascism is DARK. Not a romantic novel.
Nazi's were all about exterminating "non-perfect humans". And they considered the Greeks as perfect, for some reason. Idiocracy. NOT a documentary. Just another repeating history.
And I wish I could reverse history for you, people we enslaved. But I can't. I can only warn you for what's to come. And I want you to join me, since you're probably the only "protected" population in the USA, together with the natives.
Thanks! I am always confused with those. Not my native language, of course.
1 more try and you're booted. Idiot.
At least add "USA", like every decent human being does, posting nature pictures. The world revolves around the Sun, the Sun revolves around the Milky Way and the Milky Way revolves around... Whatever. You get my point.
Google: Mount Hood Mount in Oregon Where the fuck is that? I understand, I can zoom out to find out where it is. But I am só sick & bored by USAmerican Exceptionalism, thinking the rest of the planet knows what they are talking about.
Seriously: If you think you know fascism, try living in Turkmenistan.
You were a policed country with military gear. Only now you are becoming a militarized country.
I am serious here. Your whole Evangelical idiocy stems from batshit-crazy Europeans who were disgruntled they could not find a following in Europe. So they moved to the USA, building these mega-churches. Lunatics from Europe, who had no place here...
*thaught (?). Thinking in past-time.
ps. You were enslaved by the idiots Europe refused to give a home, because we thought they were batshit-crazy. Keep that in mind. While indeed, we made shitloads of money providing them with slaves, later-on. Still batshit-crazy.
That's a Thatcher-Reagan idea. Don't blame Europe for that. 😉
Thank you. Seriously. And no, I was not talking about the Black community in the USA. I am mainly talking to the white "majority" who still think they can own you. Ending up with fascism.
I get your point. But you're mistaken. You grew up under Apartheid. Fascism is NOT Apartheid. Fascism is a militarised country, where ethnic cleansing is the goal. And yes, returning to slave labour, of course. In concentration camps. Fascism is overt Apartheid, not covert.
? Marbais, just west of Villers-la-Ville.
You know that Chinese have the same problem as USAmericans? They think they are exceptional. I think every population has this problem, but currently it's mainly the Chinese and USAmericans.
I am ready to hand the white glove, or white flag, or whatever, if anyone can show me a period in USA history where the majority was oppressed by military means. I'm waiting... The minority, for sure. But the majority? That's fascism.
Sorry. Fascism is Italian, for sure. Nazism is German. Based upon fascism. National-Socialism, you know, like the United States, right NOW.
You can read a book instead. We were taught at primary school about this. Including the similarities between late-time Ancient Rome and Fascist Mussolini.
Stop the -and abroad-. USA = USA. You fucked up your own country. Mostly by rejected idiots & gold diggers from Europe. People we didn't want went to the USA in the 1600s.
The world when it finally happens.
Poor boi. He will never get exoneration. He's been seeking it all of his life. He even thought raping child virgins would bring it. ...
I think Europe has done wáy more to excuse themselves for the slave trade than the USA. I wish we were doing more; I want Europe to invest in Africa. But seriously invest. Mais bon. That's another discussion.
Yes. And yes, from the 1600s on we organized slave trade, yes. Doesn't deflect me from the fact the USA is the bad actor now, in 2025.
Wonderful!
Hint: If you organize, you can't lose. Fascism is all about "the dear leader". 1 brain, 1 country. Democracy is about brainstorming. Catching the idea nobody thought of before, by connecting these brains. You will win this fight, even if Europe & Canada have to join. Just drop the "exceptionalism"
Whoopy! Controversy online! People don't like my "condensending" message. My real goal: Wake up, USAmerica. You've become a fascist state. Yes, even Ancient Rome was Fascist by nature. We know, we lost, we fought, we won, etc. For 2 millenia. Now it's your turn.
Still true. Ancient Rome was Fascist. It was not named this way until Mussolini, but Europe has been fighting fascism for millenia. Now it's your turn, apparently.
Fact, Cat. And NO, we will NOT sit this one out. We want to make sure you WILL survive this idiot & his clown-car.
ps. No. Ancient Rome was fascist in nature. It got called fascism due to Mussolini.
1880s, I think. And yes, we did. Just like Zionism and Communism. All rooted in German Philosophy, for some reason.
Because I can assure you: Fascism is what black USAmericans experienced for centuries. Now extrapolated to everyone.
Once again: I am talking about a fascist take-over. NOT about suppression. The USA has finally entered the stage of fascism. Late-time neo-liberalism. I am NOT saying you don't know what oppression means; I am saying you don't know what fascism means.
When this war ends we should offer Russia a choice: isolation or give up nukes and we wii help you rebuild, integrate and become a democratic country.
No. Never. The USA has this problem of "exceptionalism" that is backfiring HARD right now. Because it's fascism. Been there, done that. Now, fight! We will come to your rescue, just like you did for Europe.
I'm not saying it's no big deal; I'm saying we've defeated them before. So you will as well.
Ursula von der Leyen Emmanuel Macron Friedrich Merz And most of all: Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy Fuck off.
Sorry, but seriously. The USA still hasn't reconciled slavery. You haven't experienced full-blown fascism yet.
Where's that? Canada or USA? *European asking. It's só annoying to see beautiful landscapes without mentioning country of origin.
I think you need to recalibrate your timeline. We stopped being empires 80 years ago. Are still calibrating, but currently ruZzia is the main culprit, with the USA firmly holding the 2nd position. With China 3rd.
You know, that's the problem with god. It's always about hope. Usually, children get raped instead...
Sad. But good. Still sad, very very sad. They need to withhold funds they pay to the Federal government to pay for their own initiatives.

Taylor Swift has a whole team of lawyers that do nothing but copyright enforcement for her. Zuckerborg’s Meta just met his match and I hope she closes him down!!!
In het Dordrechts Museum is er op dit moment een prachtige kunsttentoonstelling rond de Wereld van De Witt, met werk van Rembrandt, Lievens, Hals, etc. Hij wordt erg goed bezocht en verlengd tot 7 december. Ik raad je aan om hem voor het eind te gaan bekijken! www.dordrechtsmuseum.nl/nu-te-zien-e...

ps. Ik had dezelfde reactie als het slachtoffer, waarschijnlijk: Out-of-my-body. This isn't happening. I'm not here.
Born in '72. Ik ben die oetlul die iedere idioot confronteerde met hun misbruik. Voor mij: Dat was het WEL. Een verkrachting meegemaakt toen ik net 18 was. Niet capabel geweest in te grijpen. Levenslang schuldgevoel als gevolg. Het enige wat ik kan doen: elke idioot confronteren met henzelf.
