This is what manufactured outrage and manufactured consent looks like when your country plans a regime change against Venezuela for both dominion and midterm votes. Who won the Nobel Peace Prize again? Very provokey.

It's good to know that they're finally getting the hint. So clingy. So cringe. It's not EU, it's US

Hot take: every single idea that the Left has had since 2010 has has driven global populist nationalism: climate austerity, migration policies, identity politics policing, hate speech policy, censored speech, anti-religion politics, and perceived plans for redistribution, collectivism, and socialism

Like always: not hating Trump enough means loving Trump, not supporting Ukraine enough means loving Russia, and American isolationism will always look like betrayal. I mean, our spooks and State department fooled Europe into provoking Russia and now we're gonna bail. Uncool.

Trump 47 didn’t mint new powers. He inherited them. From Wilson to FDR to LBJ to Nixon to Reagan, then turbocharged by G.W. Bush after 9/11 and normalized by Obama and Biden. Every president added tools. Trump just uses all of them.

Homeownership never fell off a cliff; it’s hovered around 62–67 percent since the 1950s. What people feel isn’t a housing collapse but wage stagnation, credential inflation, and rising costs. The middle class hollowed out because incomes didn’t keep up. Blame wages, not square footage.

Memory from my Hartnackschule Berlin experience. I towered above all of my classmates. They made me sit for the photo.

Vloggers, pundits, and newscasters claim objectivity, but their faces leak every contempt display — the micro-sneer, the disdain cue, the derisive lift of the lip. Their expression contradicts their script. They think they’re neutral. We can see them.

Bike-lane entitlement cracks me up. I rode cities for decades as a messenger and commuter, and you’re basically a soft bag of bones on a metal twig trusting that distracted pilots of rolling fortresses don’t erase you. Ride defensive or you’re doing trust falls with trucks.

The outrage isn’t that Americans can’t afford housing — it’s that they can’t afford housing in the most desirable cities while maintaining the most desirable lifestyles. Big cities are the new theme parks: great to visit, expensive to live in, and never designed for everyone.

Everyone’s acting like high rent is a brand-new cruelty. For most people, the “middle class” used to mean a small house, one car, home-cooked food, one cheap road trip a year, almost no eating out, no flights, no debt. You didn’t get a solo apartment and a lifestyle. You picked.

Agricultural subsidies aren’t socialism. Farmers stay privately owned and operated. The U.S. has long subsidized agriculture for food security and price stability, especially during global disruptions when rebuilding farming capacity isn’t fast or guaranteed.

Thinking about shutting down my Mastodon server (abraham.su). I started back in the NoAgendaSOCIAL era, but those communities splintered and faded, and now it feels like shouting into the void. Is Mastodon still worth the cost and the cool-factor—or has the moment passed?

Prediction: The U.S. won’t stay chained to Europe forever — mark my words, it’ll drift into BRICS+. Not aristocratic, not Versailles-polished — more scrappy, improvised, second-world energy. Spiritually closer to São Paulo and Shanghai than Stockholm.

Since 2021, polls show Republican “strong disapproval” of Jan. 6 dropped by nearly half. More now call it “legitimate political discourse,” and a growing share believes the FBI helped instigate the riot — reflecting distrust in institutions and narrative battles online.

I might be considered a heretic however I think I'm really into the new Glock Gen 6. The moment they come out with a Glock 26 Gen 6 I'm in line for one. I like everything about it. I might rebuy a Glock 19 as a result.

“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule it.” — commonly attributed to H.L. Mencken, but no verified print source; closest theme appears in his 1924 essays criticizing moral crusaders and government reformers, not the exact phrasing.

I am feeling like "Progressive Utopia" might just be a "World of the Arts" instead of a "School of the Arts" or "Drama Club." Progressive Utopia is a world dominated by Theater Kids. I get it now! Et Voilà !

Every person America killed in the global war on terror was a civilian. The U.S. sent professional soldiers and elite units to hunt non-state actors — civilians who armed themselves. Modern war is not soldiers vs soldiers — it is soldiers eliminating civilians labeled as combatants.

ICE isn’t a criminal task force. Murderers and pedophiles are handled by FBI, DEA, or local law enforcement. ICE deals with immigration status—overstays and unlawful presence—and refers actual criminal cases to agencies equipped for arrest, prosecution, and prison.
