"choosing the lesser evil"

that is the only choice you will ever get, in every democracy that ever existed and ever will, for all time

the real issue is your toxic perfectionism leading to the worst choice being elected

you either realize this and are a vatnik/ wumao troll cosplaying

or you genuinely don't and you are a privileged entitled fool to be so cavalier about what is on the line with the choice

i misuse the word asphalt:

i've been saying "ass fault" for years

out loud, in polite company even

smiling slyly to myself, knowing i was operating at the most sublime heights of wit, secretly. yes, yes

i was walking into the Dunkin Donuts this morning for some coffee and passed an older man as he was leaving. he stared into my soul and said:

"sorry, they're out of donuts"

but, they weren't out of donuts

i could see them right behind him

a chill went down my spine. i nodded, and a bead of sweat formed on my forehead

who dare invoke this power but the granddad? i steeled myself until he was out the door

Brilliant proposal by German politicians: Let us place air defence systems inside NATO, and have these systems save civilian lives by shooting down missiles over western Ukraine.

This is pretty clever because

  1. Russia cannot bomb these systems as that would be an act of war against the entire NATO alliance.

  2. The systems cannot trigger a war with Russia themselves, as they are not attacking Russia.

Do it!

how come accounts like yours are always angry about the west "provoking" russia by protecting civilians but never angry at moscow's mass murdering imperialist aggression?

what kind of world do you think it will be if russia invades and invades and the west goes "oh no, can't defend anyone, russia might get mad"?

it's already mad. it's already escalated. russia did all of the escalation already

benroyce,
@benroyce@mastodon.social avatar

@UrNotTheBossOfUs @randahl

russia started a war, but if the west ever fought back, certain voices would blame the west. such voices are ignorant fools or outright apologists for russian mass murdering imperialism

i'm reminded of those videos you see online where a bully pummels and abuses a victim, while other people just stand around and watch

then the moment the victim fights back, those quiet witnesses are suddenly shouting "hey! hey! stop!"

a facet of human psychology that is very broken

it's bigotry

according to these western bigots or cosplaying tankies/ vatniks, ukrainians do not have their own agenda, their own desires, their own agency

the bigots only see china russia or the west/ usa acting. ukrainians are merely cardboard cut out automatons obeying some grand scheme from the west via the CIA pushing magic buttons

ukrainians are dying, fighting for their own land by their choice

but no. it's "the west did this, the west did that"

"'s youngest son 'declines' to be delegate, his mother says"

This was mom's decision I think

Melania seems a little angry. Gee, I wonder why 🤔

Those divorce papers are already typed up and ready to be sent to orange sh**bag, and I think they're coming overnight Fedex on November 6

It's likely Barron will be a ghoul, but wouldn't it be a gas if via his mother's bile he becomes a critic of and ?

@Catawu (pop psych hat on)

mom and dad don't talk. this whole "i'm sending him to the convention" -> "oh no you're not" is his parents fighting through their son

whenever you see barron he has zonked face: his entire existence has been this battle of wills and contempt between donald and melania, he's shell shocked

so: i agree with you. he's likely to become just another GOP ghoul

however, it's possible he rejects both, and charts his own path, as far away as possible

(pop psych hat off)

benroyce,
@benroyce@mastodon.social avatar

@gareth

i don't think he's deciding

i think this is a battle of wills between two parents who don't communicate, at least, and detest each other, probably. this is a teenager being used by his parents as a weapon to fight each other

Donald: "he's going to the convention"
Melania: "no he's not"

not said behind closed doors. out in public. with Barron as a pawn

obviously this is toxic. Barron's social development and psychological well being are being hit

and this is how Republicans are made

benroyce,
@benroyce@mastodon.social avatar

@TCatInReality @Catawu @thepoliticalcat

it is true for both. the path barron is on is the same path that made donald. it doesn't mean barron will definitely share the same fate of low character dbag as his father, but his chances aren't good

"Fun" fact about :

While most Western countries are concerned with extrajudicial security personnel from going after Chinese dissidents and other interference via secret police stations, Hungary just went and signed a deal with China: "lol, police from a totalitarian country officially patrolling our streets? sure thing"

Now is visiting

And these "police" are tearing down flags

And flags

Hungarians WTF? Your country is a joke

The Russian government warned Ukraine that Ukraine’s new fleet of F-16 fighter jets will be treated as a "nuclear-capable threat" by Russia, and “nuclear-capable threat” is also the nickname Putin has given his tallywacker.

benroyce,
@benroyce@mastodon.social avatar

@davidaugust

For those worried #Putin will use #nuclearweapons:

You're correct. He may

Problem is, if we give into his threats, that means #nuke threats work

So he'll threaten more

And every autocratic sh**bag will copy the strategy

Also, more states will get #nukes because of what happened to #Ukraine who gave up there's

Result:

Lot more nukes, lot more threats to use nukes, greater chance of being #nuked

Therefore we have to ignore Putin's threats

I was told following a lot of people is a sign of inauthenticity

But I like the firehose of content

I'll wade into it and get swept away to parts unknown. Isn't that the point of social media, discovery?

And you can make a list for posters you don't want to miss

Someone says something funny... I feel like following them

Why not? Who cares? Are there magic rules here?

FUCK IT

I'M GOING TO FOLLOW EVERYONE!
