The AI won’t rape the kids though, so we’ll still need some priests on staff

- They’re not Jewish, even in the majority. Some are. Deutsche bank has been around since the 1800s, for example.
- They are “donating” money to Israel AND Hamas AND everybody else involved in the conflict. They don’t care who wins. They make profit off of the war and off of the rebuilding, when they load up whoever won with loans.

Next you’ll say I’m a whataboutism, I get it. Ha ha!

The banking cartels are a lot older than Israel, you’re putting the cart before the horse

Just a head’s up, that doesn’t mean whataboutism, you sad thing

But the subject IS China, damn it’s right there in the OP.
I don’t know how you missed it, kinda weird.

There’s no “whataboutism”, is that the joke? Ha! it’s funny because the word is wildly inappropriate! Ha ha!

My argument is typed out clearly, what a bizarre question.
DNC has something to do with every Democratic office holder. Don’t be silly.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 days ago:
The counter is always the same. “Get independent voters”. That’s ALWAYS the counter. You CANNOT WIN without it, you don’t have enough members in your party.
What’s easier for Democrats to get, I votes or R votes? I’ll wait.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 3 days ago:
This is the least of it. Representatives entire families are set for life. Somehow, everybody in their family gets stinking rich after election, and their book is always a “NYTimes best seller” because they are bought by the campaign (and dumped in a landfill), insider trading is rampant.
I’m okay with someone in the military picking up some extra cash. Family has to eat, whether government is “shut down” or not. I hope it was some smart ass buck private.
In the USA politics is the number three easiest way to achieve “financial security”, only inheritors and prosperity gospel preachers have it easier.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 days ago:
Israel is a player, but not bigger than the banks, THEY are number one! Check out the history of, say, Deutsche bank. Older than most governments), and much wealthier than most of them, too. Israel does have their own very powerful “banking families” of course, it’s an international interest, not national.
I don’t think the banking families are concerned about, say, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They will sell to everyone involved, and make sure the winner is financed with many loans from the IMF or elsewhere.
Media? Yeah, US media is probably their biggest international ally after the US government, I think. Not an expert, new information always desired.

I was surprised he won! Unusual, bigger spender wins as a rule of thumb (90%).
I wonder why they allowed him to win… the old switcheroo? stab in the back, “I had a stroke and now I am a fundamentalist Christian?” We will see.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 days ago:
The USA will undergo spiraling inflation until it collapses in on itself.
Our federal government is far more trouble than they are worth. We should be like individual states, but united. I declare it the… United States of America! Oh, wait.
But really, we will collapse and split into collections of states, some alone, some allied with others, I’m not sure if it’s officially a balkanization, but close enough.
Our state governments will replace the fed automatically and easily (easily as in possible, not easily as in staving off empty shelves, fuel shortages, etc).
Our banking will stay basically the same, because they’re not even the government, the Fed is a collection of bankers representing our various super banks.

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 days ago:
Windows recently “hung up” when opening “network and internet settings”, just a blank square.
Also, blank square when opening “file explorer”.
Both are working now; my point is I couldn’t accomplish basic tasks in the usual way, fundamentally basic settings. First time this has happened to me. I am old and have been using Windows since there were screensavers. That you would buy. For money. On a floppy disk.
- Comment on It's called traditional medicine sweety, look it up 1 week ago:
There’s no reason any of these drugs should be illegal, we managed to survive and flourish for centuries with no “war on drugs”.
Think of the millions imprisoned and murdered over this war, and the drug trade it creates.
Lobotomies seem kind of harsh, I do not support.
- Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’” 1 week ago:
He’s all powerful, but he’s just fueled by blood is all.
You see, the blood is the life and that is why God is all powerful, He just needs lots of blood! It’s simple.
(It’s not even a joke, according to Bible. Paraphrased a little bit)

I left after the “Jesus gets us” advertising spam, followed by a year of constant Indian subs in my feed. I’m not Indian. I don’t speak Hindi.

Our devices are no longer fully under our control, it’s not a “feeling”.

Thank you, I had no idea that reptiles and birds have eyeball rings, too.
- Comment on I feel like half the neighbourhood is on fire and everyone is carrying on like everything is normal 1 week ago:
“Nazis” have always been a part of America, look at our founding and history.
It’s America as usual to me; I fully expect Democrats to win midterms and the next Presidential election, then they will pass a bare minimum of legislation (perhaps minimum wage, it’s getting comical); they will also do some unpopular things. This will somehow anger the Christians, who will again “take power”, and so on.
The Republican party does not want to eliminate the Democratic party. They both rely on the other, and they also both rely on corporate dollars. See Super PACs for further details.
I don’t see that changing any time soon, unless the dollar collapses, then it’s going to get weird.

Not arguing with you, but what’s up with that “bone ring” they have in their orbit? We don’t have that.

- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 1 week ago:
Pay attention to this nuance… regardless of who holds office, unions lose membership and power every day in the USA. Democrats can’t stem the tide.
Are they irrevocably incompetent? Are you on the short bus?

Unions have been squashed for decades, they used to be 40% or so, now down to 10%.
People will blame Reagan, but let’s be real they are trying to erase unions every day (and succeeding in USA).
BoTh PaRtIes are anti-union and pro-owner. Because they have the most money to “donate”, there’s no big conspiracy, just math. People who have no money don’t contribute to political campaigns, yet free speech is money, or something.

I was young and full of hope when this film was released in theaters.
No longer, Jar Jar taught me I am never cynical enough.

- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that would be great. Unfortunately, our government is working for them now. This is gonna get weird
- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 2 weeks ago:
And the companies can exist for centuries, acquiring all of that enormous wealth, and “donate” a tiny sliver of it to politicians and watch them fight over the scraps.
