    As Cohen put it in the Atlantic, “we need to see masses of Russians fleeing, deserting, shooting their officers, taken captive, or dead. The Russian defeat must be an unmistakably big, bloody shambles.”

    What the actual fuck

    As Robert Kagan, Nuland’s husband and leading neo-conservative pundit, puts it, “Superpowers don’t get to retire.” Kagan asserts baldly what this crew believes: “The time has come to tell Americans that there is no escape from global responsibility…the task of maintaining a world order is unending and fraught with costs but preferable to the alternative.”

    Its insane to me that someone would say this type of shit out loud. America needs to die

    I work in remote medical admin and one of the most soul-destroying aspects of this job is knowing that I do administrative busy work which benefits health insurance companies and keeps some of the worst people in the world alive longer.

    Case in point, one woman born in the late 1940s and educated as an academic came in to the office complaining about how she couldn't go on a cruise ship because her restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea were acting up. And then she casually mentions that her husband was a sergeant in the ukr volunteer legion in Bakhmut. I looked up this parasite on LinkedIn and found she is a manager at a real estate company. I knew then that I had no fucking business in this dead-end low level job in an industry which is essentially a giant money laundering scheme. I hope her husband got his fucking head blown off and scattered to smithereens, and I hope she never wakes up from her sleep again.

    I'm transitioning to an outdoor industry where I can learn about the natural environment and get in touch with the land, not stay trapped indoors forever with nothing but the voices of arrogant Baby Boomers for company.
