    That’s why it’s Imperialism lite.

    Do you really think Trump did less imperialism then Obama? Tightening the noose on Cuba, doing nearly triple the air strikes in half the time, killing Solemani, militarily antagonizing Iran in general to provoke a response, sending troops to directly occupy Syrian oil fields and hand them to Exxon Mobile, the list goes on.

    Jesus Christ, they’re both pieces of shit, but one pile is still bigger. Do you think Trump was a better president and less imperialist?

    Trump was and still is significantly more mask off then Obama ever was. Obama was the most lukewarm, optically inoffensive, status-quo supporting, capitalist neo-liberal to ever grace the presidency. Trump is substantially more honest in his convictions then anyone before him, for example somehow even managing to usurp Obama’s air strike grand-champion title in half the time.











  • Look up how non-compete and non-disclosure clauses at some companies have worked for decades.

    If you leave their company, you are legally not allowed to work in the industry or they sue you for absurd amounts of money. It’s so comical that companies like Jimmy John’s subs used clauses like that. You have no legal recourse; and are essentially bound to the company unless you jump through an absurd number of hoops.






  • The way I described it is simply what happens in the movie. He had no resistance, he had no plan, he had no ideology, or grand vision. He has a psychotic break. The military is hell.

    You’re creating a story about a character that was never told. They don’t need you to ignore him, because they don’t paint him as a Marxist, or a someone who’s a stalwart resistor.
