Under the global capitalist system, roughly 9 million people die every year from hunger, not because there is not enough food, but because it is not "profitable" to feed those people. By this measure alone, capitalism kills more people in ten years than Communism killed in the entire 20th century.

I remember in 1999, when people first encountered "Crackberries," and were making jokes about the emergence of "pervasive computing" as "invasive computing." Today, I watch my kids plug into TikTok and it's like watching Tank plug Neo into The Matrix. So, like, "ha-ha," I guess?

“We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November. We’re not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again. And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen.” -- Steve Bannon

I'll say this about the Epstein Files: I thought there would be more clergy.

People angry over Alex Pretti's killing who are harping on about "video evidence" of murder need to keep in mind that the Rodney King verdict was announced on April 29, 1992. That's almost 34 years of the American justice system telling you that it doesn't care about "video evidence."

MAGAts complain about "globalists" and "foreigners" at the same time their Dear Leader is owned by a Ketamine-addled Nazi from South Africa.🤔

I hate when people use the word "decimated" when what they mean is "obliterated." To "decimate" something means "to reduce by 1/10th." The word was used to describe the Roman legions' collective punishment for cowardice where one out of every ten men in that offending unit would be executed.

The Dutch are a straightforward and direct people. When they say "eat the rich," they mean it.
Johan de Witt: That time the Dutch people ate their prime minister
Johan de Witt, the leader of the Dutch Republic, was killed and eaten by a Dutch mob following much discontent amongst the masses.

Donald Trump's comment to Marjorie Taylor Greene, regarding the release of the Epstein files, was his "friends will get hurt.” However, Donald Trump has no friends. The only person that Donald Trump really cares about is Donald Trump. I wonder what's in the files that he doesn't want people to see?

Anyone who thinks releasing the Epstein files is going to make a difference to Trump's core supporters don't really understand who Trump's core supporters are.
