Can’t fix stupid or brainwashed.
I don't believe the gullible deserve to be conned, it's just usually their fate. But I'm damn sure that since I didn't help you get conned and tried to prevent it from happening, I don't fucking deserve to watch my country fall apart. But I would be mildly curious to hear what, in concrete terms, these jackasses think Bonespurs is actually "doing for this country."
Ya know I hope the US collapses in the next few months just so folks like this have an identity crisis. It'd be funny and helpful since they'd have to create a new hopefully less horrid identity.
I believe it's going to be super fascinating because I don't believe collapse is actually possible anymore. All indices - the stock market, the price of gold, crypto, the dollar - all of it - is, imo, set-and-supported by algorithms and dark pools.
If true, this weirdly leaves the "illuminati" to do what they please, as these markets will no longer offer any actual consequences for... anything at all, really.
There's a saying the fall of empires is slow until it's not. The fact of the matter is the US isn't all that different from those that fell before it, the British, Soviets, and French all seemed to be on top of the world right until they weren't. All empires are on a timer from their birth, they all fall eventually and in the modern age it could come from anywhere.
My personal bet is that the source will be economic in nature, Trump's tariffs will cause base level economic issues which will effect basically everyone. You'll probably get a block of states who will declare independence possibly with international backing triggering a domino effect not to dissimilar from the Soviets.
I don't think the stock market or really anything else is really notable, as you said it's largely automated meaning it's pretty much disconnected from reality at this point making it a piss poor indicator of ground level issues.
Basically balkanization, blue states will ally with each other and rest of the world while the red ones will ally with Putin, Saudis, qataris and israel
Oversimplified but broadly correct I suspect that a couple red states would end up joining up with blue states namely Idaho, Alaska, and maybe Ohio if things are bad enough.
Well, get out of his way and let him get what he has coming.
What, exactly, do they think they deserve?
Get what they have coming, huh. Too bad they're trying the rest of us with them...
Well, you won’t need to worry about expensive, low-quality lube due to tariffs, because it would be useless to put on the 5m wide white hot iron dildo you’re gonna take up your ass
Is he a Twitter subscriber?
Nah he is a die hard facebook user. He’s always nosing into other people‘s business giving his two cents and he’s also the type of person that always complains when he goes out to or anything else such as a haircut or getting his car serviced, etc. always bitching.
Probably too advanced for him.
