- Comment on Would you rather be trapped in Groundhog Day or the Truman show? 21 hours ago:
The best “copy” of groundhog day is Palm Springs. Both show the power of having infinite time, and while Palm Springs has one character copying Bill Murray’s hedonism of tricking a girl into sleeping with him, it also has a character using infinite time to solve advanced physics and improve their world, while another goes from being angry at being stuck in loop to realizing this was the best day of his life.
Palm Springs is a good analogy to UBI. Empowering people to use their time as best for them. A much better world than what most of us suffer through. The Truman show is a hellscape of fake friends/wife manipulating you do display product advertisements.

So extremely sad. You claim to have a researched opinion to deny reality. Like others of your kind, no factual statement of any kind.

Reality has a Russian bias. You can go fact check everything I said, instead of the childish “Russia said this so it must be false”
- Comment on What are the exact ramifications and consequences of the recent meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump/JD? 3 days ago:
It was a joint US/Ukraine provocation for sure. First, Ukraine’s nazification rule started with US coup in 2014, and US controlled IMF sabotaging/making Yanukovych’s EU trade deal impossible. US/west’s insincere participation in Russia’s peaceful attempt to deal with Ukrainian nazification and hostilities towards Russians, the Minsk accords, was an insincere delay tactic to arm Ukraine. The Apartheid laws against ethnic Russians, and US arming of nazi paramilitaries that killed over 5000 in Donbas since 2014. US’s open door NATO policy for Ukraine membership, and plans for missile bases there, together with ramp up of Donbas terrorism and no talks with Russia in early 2022, forced Russia’s SMO. The concerted western propaganda disrespecting Russia on its security is clear direct proof of evil intentions behind the provocation of the “desirable” war, named “a strategic US imperative (for it to continue indefinitely)” as well.

It is so disturbing and shameful that people are walk around thinking this war was unprovoked. If that can’t be changed, you can still wake up and realize that pursuing failure would be stupid.
- Comment on What are the exact ramifications and consequences of the recent meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump/JD? 3 days ago:
Obviously war on Russia is the smartest thing ever, and has historically been so successful. So the natural reaction when your main war sponsor backs away is to double down and buy that former sponsor’s weapons while sacrificing social spending to do it. Totally not what a CIA stooge that says “Fuck Europe” would say, and better be a CIA stooge than have a brain cell against suicide.
- Comment on What are the exact ramifications and consequences of the recent meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump/JD? 3 days ago:
it has become obvious to the EU leaders that Russia is a hostile power on their doorstep and they are on their own
That is the sad propaganda fed by US empire used to submit them to Ukraine war they provoked. Ultimate CIA play to fight Russia with 0 US cost, while paying for US weapons. Russia should be looked at as a friend.
- Comment on What are the exact ramifications and consequences of the recent meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump/JD? 3 days ago:
There will be peace in Ukraine!!! 60% chance. Along that, there will be a more multipolar world where Russia and China have more influence over former US colonies.
The other 40% chance is NATO colonies suicide themselves for CIA agenda of pathethic foolishness of diminishing Russia, while also begging the US to destroy them more, and begging the US to allow them the privilege of antagonizing China.
Europe is going full Tropic Thunder over this in pathethicness. All swearing to keep war on Russia, while Italy is begging all of them to have a US summit so that they can further subjugate themselves to Trump. Answer to world is not demonic wars destined to fail. And Europe must eliminate their CIA agents sacrificing their prosperity. Only 60% chance they wake up from the opportunity though.

- Comment on Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico? 1 week ago:
Drug prohibition is awesome for governments because it means permission to bypass the laws. CIA has definitely funded operations through drugs, and have significant responsibility in crack epidemic. I’m unaware of direct links to Mexican cartels though.
- Comment on Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico? 1 week ago:
. So, what happens if a Mexican politician was accepting bribes from Narcos and passing legislation favourable to them? When does that become the state sponsoring terrorism?
US has a shaddy history, and near past. Nicaragua contras (freedom fighters???) funded through Columbia/Panama cocaine. Venezuela last election meddling funding Narco gangs to burn things, and previous election, declaring legitimate president to be the main drug lord of the country.
- Comment on Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico? 1 week ago:
If US declares a group in a country to be terrorists US entitles itself to bomb them, and do whatever else seems entitleable.

Everyone saying “they can evacuate” clearly doesn’t remember how bad the covid response was.
or not paying attention to political winds welcoming the evacuees.
It would make sense to have a more cooperative world, even if cooperation involves “victims” compensating those able to protect them. Hope the US can continue to contribute tracking resources, at least.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
Everyone here was alive when the invasion started. Russia invaded Ukraine.
No, you just woke up then. Israel “loved Palestinians” before history started on October 7th. When history started on 9/11, it was proof that “they just hate us for our freedom”.
Russia’s red lines for not being forced into the Ukraine war were consistent prior to war, as they are now. It is west/Ukraine who lied their way through Minsk process.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
no one ever counters how wonderful you life is for having a war on Russia. Post was about saving the world.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
There are some seeds of hopefulness this week.
20% of savings will be put towards a “freedom dividend”. With cuts to military.
Freedom dividends is answer to everything. Disempowers government discretion, empowers people. Sales taxes and carbon taxes directly funding dividends becomes progressive taxes. Transferring “conditional poverty welfare” to dividends is path to eliminating homelessness, and not having a 50% clawback on work income that is a huge work disincentive.
Progressive versions of UBI/freedom dividends is just a higher amount with higher taxes. But a conservative version that still tries to maintain (as close as legally allowed systemic) slavery, is still a path to a long term sustainable fix for country.
End to proxy war on Russia.
Facts genuinely support that US/NATO controlled/manipulated Ukraine into provoking war on Russia. By far the most demonic war the US has ever started, with specific objective of diminishing Russia to the last Ukrainian. That Blackrock can get cheap land and resources in the end does not help Americans. Nothing about this war helps world. Climate sustainability cannot be a 2nd priority to war, and oil industry profits, and forcing massive diesel use and refinery terrorism to operate the war. Pure demonic hatred/mission to destroy/destabilize Russia is not going to get it to cooperate on energy transition. Before Biden, they were cooperating with Europe to mutual benefit.
Massive war spending increases from NATO to match forced Russian/China production increases is not path to human sustainability, or even a path to likely victory over Russia/China. Getting the DNC to force us into candidacy of the most republican/neocon/zionist candidate possible makes all progressive policies impossible due to lower priority. Both a small UBI, and war de-escalation, means having a progressive alternative have a chance, instead of appealing to the Dick/Liz Cheney wing of the democratic party.

Every one important nodding along with presidential powers over consititution, and election results, is not a coup. Fixing it would be a coup.
- Comment on what if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed trump? 3 weeks ago:
Never mind another country. No country’s constitution is immune to the military taking over. Israel first, oligarchy 2nd, is a good case for military intervention that couldn’t do any worse. Military rule doesn’t mean aggressiveness towards other nations.

- Comment on What even is fire? 3 weeks ago:
Fire is not an element in itself (ie not a molecule/atom in gas/liquid form). Combustion requires an oxidant like Oxygen or Chlorine and it is a reaction that breaks down other molecules into combinations with the oxydant. Making steam if donor molecule contains Hydrogen, and CO2 if donor molecule contains carbon.

- Comment on This is getting bad. Like, really really bad. 3 weeks ago:
The war should have never been provoked. Russia’s red lines (No NATO in Ukraine, neutrality, no banderite hostility in rulership) were every bit as reasonable as JFK’s red lines of no nuclear missiles in Cuba. Every non treasonous Russian understands the necessity. NATO’s intervention in Kosovo also had weaker justification that protecting objectively oppressed ethnic Russians.
How do you believe the Ukraine war should be resolved?
Russia’s red lines were simply autonomy for persecuted regions of Ukraine. The people who’ve been liberated by Russia legitimately do not want to be ruled by a Ukrainian regime that hates them and wants to control them under apartheid laws. The Ukrainian proposal of allowing “diplomatic but not violent/military change of territory” should also be extended to Russia. ie. Odessa/Kherson could freely choose Russian federation over Ukraine. By far the best outcomes for the people affected are based on “liberalism” and economic investment of west vs Russia, and the relative thriving of each part of Ukraine/former Ukraine.
The most recent act of Trump extortion is the gift of a trickle of aid in exchange for “free” mineral rights in Ukraine. This can make Trump, take the Biden maximalist to the last Ukrainian, view on perpetuating the war for weapons and oil profits. It is a massive extortion win, from a puppet desperate to stay a puppet. NATO has objected to deal saying that resource revenue will be needed for reconstruction, but reconstruction only matters to west if Banderites still rule Ukraine for purposes of terrorizing Russians. Trump’s initial position of “end the war first 24 hours of Presidency” can shift to “how much free minerals can we export to China, because US will be all in on oil”, or keep weapons and oil profits higher for longer as Biden wanted.
Ending the war will always be on Russia’s generous and reasonable terms. That this means less territory every day, is Ukraine’s choice.
but you’re really talking up Putin,
Instigating the war was a corrupt NATO talking down Putin. And disinformation that exposing any lie they/media say must be pro Putin. Just intended to counter this single point of disinformation. Yeltsin was the one to use the western oligarch model of supportive power consolidation, not Putin. NATO and other US colonies have suffered from the war, and disinformation supporting sycophancy to US a direct result of their suffering. It furthermore contributed to Trump win through “inflation complaints” that cognitive capable people would understand to be due to war on Russia, and far right EU parties suggesting a lesser slave relationship to NATO as the only option that doesn’t devote itself to complete sycophancy, means they have good electoral chances only because the moderates are “just different nazi supporters” dedicated to US supremacy over their countries.
Propaganda that propaganda can defeat Russia, and cause a civil war in Russia, or more “western corrupt” ruler of Russia, is propaganda for wester audience. Any replacement to Putin will nuke US bases in Europe the next day. Putin is the moderate leader of Russia. Russians understand necessity of SMO. Putin/Russia strategy of preparing for long war is the theater that Biden/US agreed to: After the last Ukrainian is dead, Russia will achieve peace. Gnashing of teeth in west will keep their anti-Russia stance, which is the only reason NATO countries need US protection. NATO is a purely demonic evil organization that exists only to make NATO necessary in our minds.

Voter suppression enhanced, and forced provisional ballots that were never counted, was enough for margin of victory. That no one liked Harris, and DNC loved the pro Israel result, had more of an effect on not exposing the fraud.

Expect congress to be set on fire, and DNC blamed then outlawed, soon?
There is some disinformation included in post.
Putin’s oligarchs seized control of Russia’s wealth to consolidate power.
It is Yeltsin who sold off Russia to western financed oligarchs. Putin has reversed much of this, and is far more hostile to oligarchs than west is. In Russia, large firms obey government instead of owning government. He has conducted war with voluntary high paid military where wage growth is very high and higher than inflation due to competition from military pay. You would never see in US an export ban on diesel to keep prices down for domestic consumers, as another example.
The US would be better off today, including its democracy, if Trump and Zionist mega donors had fallen out of windows. At start of Ukraine war, high LNG priced purchases are claimed to have mostly profited the EU importer oligarchs than US producers. Cheering on a war on Russia is a deeply pro oligarchy self destruction. Adding disinformation that our governments a few weeks ago were less oligarchist than Russia, is more warmongering propaganda, that we just started saying when our BFF Yeltsin created it.
