Show up in a ripped shirt with a mustard stain on it looking dazed and slightly disinterested, like you already visited 4-5 houses that day.

I find Stein a bit grating, but I always finds greens hard to pin down politically. I'd much rather this air time have gone to someone like Claudia de la Cruz with something interesting to say and some principles to back it up
Idk but I'm ready to fold space with my mind
takes massive dab
Have you considered that world history prior to 1600 is broadly fabricated, the Peloponnesian war actually happened in ~AD1000 between medieval city states, based on the timing of an eclipse triad described by Thucydides. Jesus Christ was actually Andronikos Komnenos (AD1152), he was born in Crimea and publicly beaten and crucified near Constantinople.

I always read it metaphorical in terms of 'they make available the resources with which to undermine them'
I feel like it's the case for most idioms attributed to famous people
Part of not being blind to your own jingoism is understanding how your actions affect others- I'm not saying that it's OK to coup or attempt to undermine governments with media operations, I'm saying that if we're going to act like this is suddenly some sort of mortal sin after decades of doing that ourselves, people aren't going to take it seriously. It's certainly not going to make outside observers think that we're a reasonable actor who's simply under attack by authoritarians. Purely for riling up the base.
buying a hospital (system I guess?) in order to sell off all the equipment and property and rent it back until they're bankrupt is just so cartoonishly evil, wtf
yeap pretty sure that was Lenin, lmao
They infiltrated the highest office of our country and attempted to overthrow the government. That’s war, right?
considering how many times we've actually overthrown peoples governments to our own ends, turnabout would just be fair play - least we better hope it's not something people will go to war over because there's a long list of potential enemies
I actually get made pretty uncomfortable by the xenophobia about 'election meddling' every couple years about 'the russians' like we're some monolith, sometimes I post about it. But I guess that's me the (#1) local influencer posting on the (#2) fake news outlet lemmy.ml, clearly trying to goad people (#3) with my (#4) flipping the script takes and unfunny bits (#5) 😕
WTF Putin why aren't you paying me already, do you have any idea how much rent in America costs??
The supreme court makes a mockery of democracy (intentionally) and should be treated with scorn instead of reverence.
