Pretty much. People with power. Oppression begins.
And then they antagonize each other for more power(read Russia and USA).

'Difficult to accept': Prominent Russian hardliner admits its navy couldn't defend itself from Ukraine


A Russian hardline pro-war account conceded that the Black Sea Fleet couldn't defend itself from Ukraine and had to pull back.

"Even though it's difficult to accept, the Black Sea Fleet cannot fully ensure its security now," Rybar wrote.

"As long as the enemy has access to the sea, and NATO aviation is quietly directing drones and missiles over there, the danger will remain," it added.

I was unfazed by the Cold war. I never even paid attention to it. Growing up we were total nihilists. We found ways to rebel against authority in our own ways.
Same here.

"..Can you imagine Fox and the GOP leading the media outrage if anyone to the left of Hitler had been caught leaking nuclear secrets to other countries?  It’s all we’d be talking about.

And the fact that we liberals are not doing that is a national motherfucking disgrace and we should all be ashamed for our collective complicity by tolerating it.

This is our only country, and we’re rolling over for truly evil people and their reckless and cruel agendas.."

To be honest, a lot of Republicans are a part of that too. Bolsheviks have nothing to do with it. Even in communist countries the idea died long before the regime was over. There was the so called “ Red Aristocracy” made of the ruling communist class. At that point was just a dictatorship. If you ever have questions about it, just ask. I grew up in it and lived through the end of it. I can tell you all the ins and outs.

They call those establishment republicans. Part of the same swamp.

I'm going to buy a bong with my secret slush fund and I'm going to hide it in the garage and I'm going to go out there and say something like "Alexa! Play Jimi Hendrix!" and it will be like being a teenager again.

It's funny looking at the headlines. All the photos they feature of Trump have him with his mouth open, looking all wild-eyed and unhinged.

"..I love a science mystery, and this is a good one:
About once a year, a mysterious blue flash appears from a different part of the sky, then fades in a matter of days. Nobody knows what these things are. And the latest one, nicknamed "the Finch," may be the strangest one yet. .."


A very rare, strange burst of extraordinarily bright light in the universe just got even stranger – thanks to the eagle-eye of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

"...“Jim Jordan knew more about what Donald Trump had planned for January 6 than any other member of the House of Representatives. Jim Jordan was involved, was part of the conspiracy in which Donald Trump was engaged as he attempted to overturn the election…. There was a handful of people, of which he was the leader, who knew what Donald Trump had planned. Now somebody needs to ask Jim Jordan, ‘Why didn’t you report to the Capitol Police what you knew Donald Trump had planned? You were in those meetings at the White House. If the Republicans decide that Jim Jordan should be the Speaker of the House…there would no longer be any possible way to argue that a group of elected Republicans could be counted on to defend the Constitution.”
