      I wouldn't think I'd need to explain this to you, as a once "very important person".

      But some people are simply worth more than others. They are better, you see.

      There exists a hierarchy of individuals in which some individuals have more inherent value than other individuals, a ranking if you will.

      Upholding the hierarchy is akin to upholding the laws of nature, and acting against the hierarchy is akin to breaking the laws of nature and is, by definition, evil.

      It is clearly mental illness to consider yourself equal to your betters, and I'd advise everyone to seek aid if they feel the need to flatten any hierarchies.

        I did card check for public sector employees, raised the minimum wage, and tried to sell a senate seat. I do not recognize the laws of the richest Americans, which is how I became a political prisoner and developed a relationship with Donald Trump.

        Well said. This is why I always ask what people do for a living after asking for their name to determine if it is worth my time to engage in interaction with them.

One day I'll be a pot washer but in the military to watch them try to work out which 'troop' and 'lowlife' is the descriptor and which one is the profession.

          "western journalists are responsible for poisoning the minds of entire populations." While I generally agree with you it's awfully hexbear of you to single out "western" instead of generally all.

          I'm sure the "journalists" in Russia are doing just as much to poison the minds of their citizens.

            I guess you can say that while all journalists are propagandists, they are much more succesful propagandists in the west. Probably because people are far less sceptical of the news here. There's that old joke about a KGB agent and a CIA agent having a chat in a bar.

            "I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

            "Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

            The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."

            It's really convenient to selectively discard the idea of American Exceptionalism when it comes time to talk about the most money ever, by any civilization in history, spent on propagandizing their own people

            The thing you don't incorporate into your analysis is the fact that there's one giant capitalism that exists in the world and it has centered itself in the American state. You never actually compare apple to apple, let alone acknowledge oranges.

      The thing you have to remember is that none of these people are journalists maduro-coffee

      Unironically there's practically no actual journalists in the west. They're either aware of what they're doing or brainwashed to such an extent they don't notice it, which is pretty piss-poor for someone whose task is to peer through propaganda and tell what's actually going on. Both groups need to be buried like the bones this pup buries in their back yard

    I was gonna doubt this, but Ken never misses with the hot leaks. He's really been on MSM's ass about this situation too. Basically calling them out for the corporate shills we always knew they were. He was making the ultra libs rage post over on liberal twitter (bluesky) during the whole "manhunt" timeline. Quotes because the cops 1000% failed to hunt a man... some boomer at McDonald's who watches too much CNN/Fox News ratted his ass out.

    Imagine being some crime-obsessed boomer drooling for 60 years waiting to call the cops on some "FBI most wanted" style criminal. You're standing in line, sipping your free boomer coffee (real thing btw), and glance over to see a handsome, vaguely-ethnic fellow with furry caterpillars over his eyes. You snitch his ass out, cops come and give you the least enthusiastic "thanks, dumb ass." of all time, and haul the guy off mid-hashbrown.

    Fast forward to Christmas Day with your grandkids visiting. You tell your ungrateful shit grandkids who never call or visit that you were the one who caught the killer! You see your kid, their parent, look around nervously right before the grandkid says "Oh wow, grandpa! But Dad said that bad man deserved it. Right, Dad?"
