  • Quote from someone I know:

    russia’s going to internally implode before it goes really bad

    they are good at not showing it online but if you take the time to dig into the mere possibility of russia not doing too well, they’re on the brink of integral logistical failure

    all the cold war era public utilities, food production, roads, transportation, etc, have lost all funding / all deviated back to military spending, the country is literally consuming its own lifespan to keep the war going

    last winter they got massive freezes, this spring they got floodings, and this summer they’ll get forest fires

    this is what happens when you conscripted firefighters, public utility workers, and every able bodied male to the military without consideration

    even if russia does take kiyv they will never be able to hold it for more than a year

    They already got the cope for future scenarios prepared.




  • The poll found that Biden has dropped only slightly in the national horse race against Trump, by .08 points. That mostly squares with the public narrative from the Biden campaign in the wake of the debate, as their team has labored to calm Democratic panic over Biden’s ability to beat Trump in November.

    But according to OpenLabs, that’s only part of the story. While the debate may have barely registered in national data, in their surveys of key Electoral College states where voters are paying closer attention to the campaign, Biden is doing noticeably worse. In a poll including third-party candidates, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the president has fallen by around 2 points in every single core battleground—and also in states that were not even on the 2024 map last week.

    Surprise, surprise, it was all cope.







  • It’s actually pretty incredible how the reality of material conditions doesn’t factor into the thinking or logic of a liberal at all.

    A while ago in Swiss news they asked the question why, despite all the similarities to the USA, most importantly the high percentage of foreign people (and particularly, clashing cultures), why Switzerland doesn’t have the same racial tensions and conflicts seen in the USA.

    Not once did they mention the comparatively much better material conditions. Instead, it was all pretentious talk about how much better Swiss culture is, yadda yadda.

    If Switzerland wasn’t sitting on a mountain of wealth, you’d see the hogs going wild here just like anywhere else.
