Talcosis

Not quite.

The castle (the oligarchs) will hop on a plane and leave. The people who will end up lynched in the street are gonna be the people that have made something of themselves, not in the oligarch sense. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, academics. The people that live in the nicer part of town and have bigger houses.

It very difficult to comprehend the sheer scale of a billion dollars. To someone making 30k a year, someone making 150k a year looks about the same as a bezos.

In reality it’s gonna look like random mass shootings.

It’s the political equivalent of “God works in mysterious ways”

I genuinely think that Stalin’s purges back in the day led to a genetic shift towards compliance, as most that stuck their head out got shot.

Even now, if you look at a population graph of Russia, you see waves of lower population ages due to the soldiers that died in WWII not going on to start families. Why not a similar effect from the purges?

Edit: also, previous conscription waves targeted ethnic minorities and poor folks. As with everywhere else, nobody gives a fuck about poor people.

Eh, even bad meat that is cooked properly (burned to leather, basically) is edible…it just tastes like death.

Nope.

But for all of RFK jr.'s many faults, I don’t consider eating roadkill or stuff out of the garbage to be counted among them. Matter of fact, I consider both to be examples of not wasting food, which is good.

Genuinely one of the smartest people I have ever met, a former professor with multiple doctorates, got his lunch every day by digging in the trash outside his building and piecing together a meal from half eaten leftovers. He’d microwave it to sterilize.

He also once gave me a fairly nice designer shirt (not the logo kind, actually nice), which he picked up at the bus stop covered in vomit, took home, and cleaned.

At one point, he walked into the lab with a clearly used bowl reeking of marijuana, said he found it in a trash can, and had us analyze the THC content and alkaloid ratios as an exercise, because he had a DEA license.

Lived into his 90s, was a self-made multi-millionaire, and spent his money on funding his research. Also he was fanatical about proper reduce, reuse, recycle. And he would get very pissed if you skipped those first two and went straight to recycle.

At this point I think it’s a hardware (or the lack thereof) issue. I tried to virtual box on my computer using…I think cinnamon? Was recommended as a noob distro. Got weird error codes, googling them didn’t help.

Upon further discussion, I was informed that VB is one of the more complicated methods and I should just install it on another computer. Unfortunately I don’t have a fully functional second computer.

Dude, the average US farmer sits comfortably in the top few percent. Something about having millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars in assets makes you not poor.

Plus, there’s always crop insurance fraud to help make ends meet. Just gotta go to the store, buy some ice, and have someone walk through the fields and chuck ice cubes at plants. Boom, hailstorm just killed your crop.

Shitty people exist everywhere, and shitty military people have access to guns and command over lives. I would consider it more suspect if this type of thing didn’t happen on occasion.

Doubly true for assault forces, they are much more used to killing and watching people die.

You’re not wrong.

But I’d like to point out that I said “I’m struggling to find a decent tutorial that works for me” and your response was “skill issue lol”.

Do you actually want people to switch to linux and graphene, or do you wanna laugh at incompetent normies?

Simple tutorials.

I know that a decent chunk of the privacy/Linux folk have that same “I had to suffer and you should too” boomer mindset, and that’s like 80% of the reason I haven’t stopped using Google and Microsoft.

I’m not a software dev, but I do have a job and a life and shit. There is only so much time I can spend trying to figure that shit out before I decide it’s not worth it.
