Yeah, but you gotta think of the shareholder value for the next quarter! The Chinese think in decades. We don’t! Capitalism FTW, baby!

That sad moment for Javier Milei, when Trump who is not even Latino beat him first to be crowned El Presidente of Tropico by inaugurating a golden statue holding a bitcoin.

But seriously though, USA is now officially a banana republic after setting up multiple ones in the past.

The one silver lining to this whole fascist takeover of the US is that I’m not an odd one out in my hatred of the USA anymore.

I’ve been saying for a long time that US fascists are only bringing forth America’s true face. It has always been arrogant, genocidal, and imperialist. Ask Latin America and the Middle East if they have positive view of the US. Even my country after being liberated from Spanish rule, the US took over us despite opposition and used the same suppression tactic as they had applied to Native Americans. This is in spite of US proclaiming to be the land of the free. “You are not free unless we say so”. “Follow the international law and rules based order, except for us”. Biden himself affirmed US will invade The Hague if the International Criminal Court arrests any American citizen. He pardoned his son from criminal conviction. But when Trump does it all, that is corruption and illegal? So much for shining beacon on the hill, land of the free and proponent of international law.

The US establishment since inception are closeted fascists from the get-go and doesn’t even know it. Now, Trump is bringing to light the truth. And why not? The voters demanded authenticity and this is what they get as asked. In “The Shining”, a major theme is America’s colonial past and one of the quote is “you’ve always been the caretaker”. The US has always been a fascist but never knew its real face. Where did the word fascism comes from? From Latin “fasces”. Where did the words “empire” and “colony” come from? From Latin as well. Where did the US republic model itself? From the Romans, who committed genocide, engaged in slavery, practised imperialism and was hedonistic and heavily unequal as society. From anti- and post-colonial perspective, countries that either modeled itself from the Roman empire or sees itself as the next Rome always collapse-- from the British, Germans, Russians, Spanish, France and now the US.

Canada has a fascist eyeing up on its ass while a pseudo-communist, quasi-state capitalist is giving him the sultry look from across the waters. Not exactly a good position to be in.

Nothing says ‘circular economy’ like Microsoft stranding 400 million PCs

This might be a silly question but would this not be a good idea for a start up company that recycle computer parts?

Dabbling in stocks and as I grow older and working longer under a corporation, I realised it’s hard to be ethical in a capitalist system.

And we’re going to have Sugar Bombs coming to a store near you!

Hi fascist! I’m guillotine!

Musk and Napoleon aren’t nowhere near close enough for comparison. Napoleon had done more good.

Are some people more worthy of life because they speak about their political opinions to a lot of people?

Fascists: Yes.

I think the answer is pretty simple: immigration and the cultures and behaviour that come with impoverished people.

Bingo. I wish more people would realise this instead of calling people stupid, hillbilly, racist, ignorant etc. The problem is not immigration itself, but pitting the poor against fellow poor who happen to be of foreign origin. With austerity going on since the financial crisis, there has been little to no public investment. Housing in particular has been put under private equity and NIMBYs kicking down the property ladder making it harder for nearly everyone to put roof over their heads. The nature of employment has changed, turning from traditional manual labour to either knowledge-based or automation, which not everyone has the knack for or that less people are needed.

So, less housing and less jobs are available. This puts family in poverty. As we speak, record number of children are in poverty and emergency accommodations. Guess what effect will this experience have on these children growing up in shaping their world view…

All the more reason to use Signal.

Bear in mind that the riot in Nepal only started after the peaceful student protests was shot at by the police first. The No Kings protest hasn’t been tried to be violently quelled to warrant a public riot, yet.

I have yet to see anyone day if these SK workers were even here under false visas or something?

Umm… Trump regime already removed their hoods off about supposedly removing illegal immigrants. It is pogrom towards any foreigners.

Yeah, honestly, Trumpian fascism will only make China look good in the eyes of many. Recent surveys in Europe already showed more favourable view towards China than US as Trump regime unravels. South Korea and Europe might invest on China instead.

I have already said it months ago that China will use the Trump shenanigans as PR coup. Beijing is already offering itself as the more reliable free trade partner than the US.

More like, under new management.

Yeah, how many times have we seen the media report what Trump did that is meant to shock us, and yet he has been elected twice.

I wonder what the right wing media tell voters to convince them to support rich people and their cronies. I get that Trump made people feel special during campaign, but he’s a billionaire, why would people think he’s going to help the plebs? Is scapegoating minorities been addled too much into people’s brain that they forget they don’t like rich people? If you ask a lot of ordinary people, they don’t like the rich, but somehow they see Trump as the exception.
