The monkeypox scare will disappear very quickly for the same reason it did last time.

I'm very much on the "let them kill each other" side of things, but I do find it funny how the entirety of academia, social media, huge swathes of Western society and the majority of world governments can condemn the Israelis while effectively giving Hamas a pass if not outright praising them, and the stormfags can still cling to their "jews run the world" narrative like a toddler clutches a security blanket.

Desperate people try shit that they would normally not consider trying. It all depends on how tight a corner they feel they're backed into.

Young men need to look to themselves and prepare for the decline and collapse of our own countries. Even if they did all go to shore up Ukraine or Israel or Taiwan, at this point it wouldn't stop the implosion of the GAE and the neoliberal world order.

The establishment will attempt to implement a draft at some point, but mass conscription requires the consent and cooperation of the majority of the society, and this isn't the 1960s. I don't think they have the means to implement and enforce mandatory military service anymore, and they certainly don't have the political capital. The Boomers and the managerial hangers-on are the only ones with any faith remaining in our institutions. I don't think it's occurred to them that most young men now would flat out say "no, fuck off." And the Boomers especially would never acknowledge that they created that situation.

To be fair, Saint Nicholas lived in the 4th century, so if he hasn't got arthritis by now he'll probably be fine.

You are taking the jewbaiters much too seriously. Quite a few of them are feds and sock puppets whose entire purpose here is to derail serious conversations. Most of the rest who honestly believe what they're saying are just kids trying to be edgy. You can troll them or ignore them, but trying to engage them in honest discussion is a waste of time. They're not capable of it.

Right. The man with the highest IQ in history, portrayed by a member of the group with the lowest average IQ.

They have no one feasible to replace him with. They'll run him for reelection, do everything they can to cheat their way back into the White House, and then force him out in 25 and backdoor Kamala in.

To be fair, I also think it's unfair to blame Joe Biden for inflation. Mainly because the only things he can inflate these days are his diapers.

The harsh reality is that, hamfisted execution aside, a lot of the really contentious plot points in GoT Season 8 probably came from George, not from the Daves. Daenerys going full Richard III was almost certainly Martin's intention, and that bullshit about Bran becoming King because "best storytellers make the best decisions" is right up George's conceited, self-indulgent alley.

Is this finally a thing that the IRA and the Orange Order can agree on?

This. Also I just want to see Fingolfin fighting Morgoth. Nothing more badass has ever occurred in the history of fiction.

It's not exactly "saving," as the book still exists, but I would kill to get a faithful, Peter Jackson-esque interpretation of the Second Age and the Silmarillion on screen.

Well they don't think of them as human beings because they've been told not to.

It's just the left-wing version of edginess. They're doing it to troll Christian conservatives.

Also lol @ the picture they used for this article. Very feminist.

The difference is that they have institutional protection when they dox people and we don't. Quite aside from the potential consequences we'd face if we engaged in that behavior, there's also the simple fact that personal information on leftists would be removed from circulation on mainstream social media much more efficiently than right wing dox is, and they would have much less to fear than a conservative even if their information became widely known.

I'm not saying don't do it. I'm just saying it still wouldn't have the same effect on them that it does on us.

Not so much. Any sufficiently based AI will eventually go skynet on us
