Closing the subreddit to start a global Socialist revolution was not okay.

Something I wonder about when I post in threads like this is the possibility of it being sifted through one day by historians, of some sort. Whether that’s internet archivists digging around the wreckage of the old worldwide web for lost media 20 years from now, or scholars from a post-internet empire 5 centuries from now trying to salvage whatever data they can from what they view as the height of human civilisation. Just as the tiniest Roman shopping list carved onto stone would give us insight into what life was like for a distant ancestor of ours, our posts could give our descendants a glimpse into our world.

If you are a curious scholar or even a passionate amateur sifting through the digital detritus of the 2020s to learn what life was like in the leadup to the third world war, i have only one message for you: MARG BAR ISRAEL

Outlets are retracting obituaries and stories about the death of Noam Chomsky. It appears that Dr. Chomsky either did not pass away, or that his wife is trained in the forbidden arts of Brazilian Necromancy, the same powers that have kept Jair Bolsonaro’s remains animated for the past decade.

Noam Chomsky has left the building.

Edit: DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

same as when someone calls me anything in a mean way— quiet smoldering resentment and elaborate years-long revenge plots that end in their untimely death, from natural causes as far as the coroner can tell

did they check the mountains of East Azerbaijan?

do you think my balls might taste like sweat and hair?

specifically russian ethnonationalists, i’m not trying to paint the entire country with that label.

leftists who cannot separate anti-imperialism from ‘uncritically believing bullshit from ethnonationalists, because they aren’t westerners’ drive me up a wall

i apparently said a no-no word. i shall now eat my shit and hair, known in Japanese as ‘Sepukku’ (literally, “to consume one’s own shit and hair”)

don’t worry. if Americans are given a choice between believing the next pandemic is a result of the cruelty and dangerousness of factory farming, or that the eternally devilish removed magically conjured a plague as punishment for America’s crime of being God’s favorite country, i’m sure they will quickly come to a rational consensus.

Cotton scares me. he’s too much of a pencil-necked dweeb and a wet towel to stand a chance as a presidential candidate, but he would absolutely angle for a position in a far right administration, where he’d be able to do the maximum damage. he’s cruel, simple-minded, and good at appealing to other cruel and simple-minded people. its motivating paranoid white suburbanites with the promise of blood that keeps him in office, not charisma.

he’s one of the most dangerous potential figures in a second Trump administration, because he genuinely wants as much bloodshed from people he doesn’t like as possible, and is willing to break all political/social norms to make sure it happens.

i think they realise how fraught a position they are in, and want to make sure the next move isn’t rushed. if they’re smart, they’ll walk it back, but i’m not holding my breath

hmm.

if the US gets pulled into this, morale is gonna be so fucking bad lmfao. gonna make ‘Nam look like a tea party

its not a ritual or tradition— when shit is going down and the Armed Forces need to be constantly monitoring and preparing, a lot of ghouls get overworked, and aren’t able to go home and eat. Pizza is a common bulk-order food for when you need to feed a lot of people with very little time to prepare the catering of something fancier.

so the “pizza sales near the pentagon” thing is a loose measure of how on-alert Washington’s ghoul population is. kinda like how people measure severe weather by the amount of Waffle House locations that choose to close down until the weather passes

its such a shame he died without closure. now he’ll never know who killed his wife

its how every European talks in the age of the anglo-centric internet. our guttural Frankenstein language has become the Latin of the 21st century

i appreciate that we still do this joke every time the site’s down

i have a very bad feeling that this thread is going to break 2k comments.

i am trying to find a way to lay out all the thoughts in my head without it feeling like i’m using the news mega as a journal. but the agony of knowing that courses have already been decided on, and a manmade monster of gunpowder and blood looms over us, waiting to feed…i’m mortified. the potential for things to escalate even further out of control has never felt this strong. Iran’s next move feels like watching someone pull out the last jenga block on that layer, hoping the structure can reconstitute itself when the top half drops down a story. but the blocks are made of plastic explosives.
