Message to Europeans from an American.
It’s time to start looking for other trading partners. Canada and Mexico come to mind. So does South America and Africa as a whole. Be ready for us to shit the bed in epic fashion, and make sure you’re not in the poo position. And don’t be afraid to punish us for our BS. Just be strategic with the payback and don’t copy our fails.
I love it. Here’s the full expression of distaste from the people of Scottland for that jerk: “Tiny fingered, Cheeto-faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon.”
I don’t have guilt for the girls who were killed in this. Thought I made it clear in what I typed. They’re dead, or suffering waiting for rescue (I lean towards dead now, given the time that’s elapsed). And that’s not great. Brought on by the adults in their lives who they trusted had their best intentions in mind. I believe it’s clear they never did. It is all about Winning the Political Football Game, and they approach their choices and heroes with about as much introspection and forethought as they do their chosen college or even high school football team. “Me team good! Other team bad! Ungh!” And now dozens of young women, with a potentially bright life ahead of them, are dead. And all to own the libs. What a fucking waste.
Hopefully that makes it clearer what I’m saying.
It’s getting harder and harder to show empathy for these people. The Shitgibbon is delivering everything he promised to deliver. He doesn’t care about anyone, his voters included. The leopards are feasting, and these idiots have no one to blame but themselves. But man…those girls? They didn’t vote for anyone. And now they’re dead or wish they were dead. And that ain’t great.
It’s ugly, and it looks like it jumped off the screen from the Cyberpunk 2077 world. It’s poorly built and ineffective at the job it was designed to do. And then Elon did his thing, and now it’s irrevocably tied to a dead Mid-20th Century ideology that the entire world fought to dismantle. I’m glad it’s falling by the wayside. An object lesson – don’t build stupidly engineered items, and don’t tout murderous ideologies that get a majority of the world against you.
