Honestly what does retirement planning in America even look like anymore? The next five-ten years are looking to be extremely volatile both financially and politically. It almost feels more risky stockpiling a currency that may lose significant value or even devalue entirely if shit falls apart and/or global war breaks out.
You can’t eat your 401k, buy Mountain House foods by the bucket like your racist uncle! Or something.
Pack your asses into Globemasters and GTFO. Leave the fighter jets and the armor for the people still willing to fight for democracy.
I think 2 is technically the better game, but it is marred by its mtx and really half-assed support after the studio got shaken up.
I honestly have no interest in the 100% future setting of KF3. I like the weapons modeled after real ones, not the LED schlock of the HMtech or whatever.
Fucking Baghdad Bob had more integrity than this.
Every single Ukrainian who has so much as spit-shined a boot for the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be thrown in a labor camp indefinitely. The only reason I could see this not being the case is if the Russians cannot logistically handle that internment.
I love the militant far-right’s obsession with disabling the power grid. Like yeah, if you took out my town’s power for months, ground my job to a halt, and put the vulnerable in danger, I would take up arms…against you.
He and his circle already made millions on puts and invested the winnings back into a dipping market, now it’s time to ease off the gas to drive the value back up. Repeat every week or two.
I just want to find mushrooms in a forest
Well you’ll still be wanting to do that when the supply chain breaks down and you don’t know where your next meal will come from.
Its always guys that look like they extract peyote in their kitchen.
American “commitment” to anything is worthless now more than ever. Like giving cash loans to a bombed out drug addict you can only expect pain by penning deals with us.
It is also about the theater, and the normalization of having the military physically putting their hands on immigrants. They want the National Guard of red states doorkicking for immigrants eventually, P2025 lays that out plainly.
Trump just moved an entire Stryker brigade, vehicles and all, to the Mexican border.
I think the clearest way to declare himself President for Life, or at least grab a third term, is to invade Iraq Mexico for WMDs fentanyl, provoke a war, and bend everything in his favor in a system he’s already fixed.
We Americans need to come to terms with the fact that this is how the rest of the world sees each and every one of us now. Either as an orcish, violent animals, or as selfish, cowardly quislings and bystanders. It doesn’t matter who you voted for, or who you sent $20 to here and there. We are giving our consent every single day we are not physically fighting back against this insanity. And that stench takes a generation to wash off.
Fun WWII parallel: after the war, reprisal murders against the German diaspora were a problem in Europe. I’ve seen it claimed that half a million Germans were killed this way, but nobody really knows because the public sentiment was so against Germany after the atrocities they committed. People kept quiet, police shrugged their shoulders and moved on.
Ignorance is not an excuse. Cowardice is not an excuse. It may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility to do something.
Prison commissary type beat
Yes. But…
Fun fact baseball bats are actually not great weapons. Better than nothing, but they’re designed to hit baseballs, not withstand heavy impact. Wooden bats will quickly shatter, aluminum bats are too light and will bend easily.
Use steel pipes, like from the frame of a chain-link fence (wear gloves for the vibration). Hammers. Go ye olde school and use garden tools like shovels, hoes, pitchforks. You can get police surplus tonfas for pretty cheap.
Now is the time to learn skills, consolidate resources, and form plans. Turn your anxiety and anger into action in this way. Build a network of like-minded people if you can do so safely. Fascism is gaining ground but it has not yet gained critical momentum. But you won’t decide when that will be. Use what time you still have wisely.
Notifying others requires you to think of other people and value them. The US, under the leadership of a pathological narcissist, will do neither of these things.
The primary objective of the Democratic Party as a whole is to run damage control against progressive movements and interests on behalf of the Owner Class. They are faithless mercenaries, not revolutionaries or even principled statesmen.
They will be relegated to the dustbin of history in the coming months and years, they have nothing to offer MAGA nor the American people. A few salvageable people maybe, but not many.
Immigration is their excuse to build up the security and internment apparatus. Building the prisons, the logistics routes, and training, radicalizing, and legitimizing armed goons takes time. Once the machine is running well, then they will turn it loose on everyone.
Not without significant bloodshed and a high chance of failure. Which the person in question might not even want or agree to go along with.
