    LOL!

    My short story about foeeign music

    Wife and 6-year-old get back from dance class:

    6yo: I want to add that song we heard in the car to my playlist

    Wife: oh what was that song again

    Me: do you remember any words, we can search for it

    6yo: no Wife: no

    Me: what station was it on?

    Wife: satellite, TikTok radio

    Me: ohh ok, I guess we just need to wait or maybe if you find it on TikTok…

    Days go by

    Wife: It came on in the car but the title of the song was all weird characters

    Me: was it like little stick figures or big slashes or just weird drawn characters?

    Wife: just wierd

    Me: Google: Russian songs on tik Tok

    Moreart

    Ohh!

    I listen to it. It absolutely slaps

    Google then mentions controversy

    Then I translate the song’s name.

    LMAO. 'I will fuck"

    Then I go to look for lyric translations

    It’s so fucking cringe and not in a naughty or dirty way, it’s just lame cringe.

    The beat of the music still slap though.



  • Same propaganda works everywhere.

    The middle class is deteriorating, pay * isn’t increasing in sync with inflation, less kids, less money in taxes.

    The rich aren’t rich in a vacuum, as the * Rich get richer the rest get poorer. It’s pretty easy to target them to hate down one social level.

    As far as NHS, well if you’re not overly sick you’re paying too much and most people aren’t overly sick. People who are struggling really get behind the “fuck you I got mine” train when instead they could be on the help me too train.







  • I have had pitties for years

    Left to their own devices pitties are harmless. In a loving and caring home, they are some of the most supporting docile animals I’ve ever been around. Even rescue pitties who have had horrible lives usually end up as proper babysitters without any substantial correction.

    That said, a 50lb PB can hold on to a rope, be lifted off the ground and swung in circles without even breaking a sweat. Bite strength and passive muscle structure on those dogs are AMAZING. So if someone does make a PB decide they need to eat someone, they’re dangerous AF. But you really have to work hard to make them that way.

    both modern and historical, which did not provoke revolutions; and every revolution I can think of was very far from universally suffering, compared to prior or later conditions.

    Suffering is only marginally related to revolution, at best.

    I’ll make a note that you are an expert in revolutions and move on with my life.

    Edit: just to be clear, not that I really mind downvotes but I’m not being sarcastic and I’m not going toe to toe with somebody who is well versed in something that I am not I am clearly out of my depth. And I have not downloaded OP.



  • over due for a bit of a revolution

    Ohh indeed.

    Here’s the playfield:

    We have cities full of poorly armed people who are on the edge of readiness. Then, we have thousands of miles of rural country with a sparse number of well-armed people who are quite happy with the turn of events.

    Nearly all news coverage is now directly/indirectly state-controlled. Nearly all social media coverage is directly/indirectly state-controlled.

    We’re seeing protests come up around government buildings, but it’s barely a pittance.

    The people who would need to start the coup are poorly armed and largely reluctant to be violent; they’re also not ready to give their lives for the cause. The people who are against any form of coup are well-armed and would LOVE to go in guns blazing.

    The inklings of resistance are present. They’d need someone to organize and lead them,

    Another concern I have is, historically, you have a coup, the military is called in to take it out, they refuse, and a new government is installed with their blessing. What happens when, instead of the military getting called in and refusing, the old government hires private industry to put guns on drones and starts murderbotting protestors? Tech isn’t like it used to be. They don’t need to get their hands directly dirty anymore or risk any of their own lives.

    I’m not certain you could have a revolution against well funded oligarchs dug into a country.



  • bought is not what they got.

    Yeah, that paint is just starting to crack now.

    The problem is that they’re getting most of what they want and starting to get some things they don’t want. They’re not going to act until the ratio of want to don’t want is more like 40:60, many of them are of the mindset that as long as everyone is suffering, justice is being served.


  • The ones passionate about guns are the same uneducated ones sucking on the propaganda tit. They’re just starting to get inklings that it might have been a bad idea, unfortunately most of them will stick their fingers in their ears and say it’ll all be just fine.

    IMO 70:30 we won’t revolt, the silent majority doesn’t like it, but just accepts the Nazi overtake.
