It's just like... how do you watch that trailer then be like "well... if you don't have blood and soil, can you *really* call yourself American?" like buddy... these guys hate everything the US stands for and want to rip it apart to create an autocracy, they are as unamerican as it gets.

He kinda reminds me of the Richard Spencer, Richard Hannania, et al. space, where they hate Donald Trump because he is undermining white hegemony lol

Of Richard Hannania

Drew Pavlou, he's a liberal but he kind of falls into the uh.....

He's a twitter guy, so he is small time but probably makes money by the post

No, it's fucking hilarious that Karl Jobst got completely fucking annihilated

>>710043
He's a jobber, hence the name

>>710044
I am very familiar with Karl Jobst because I used to post troll threads on /v/ about Billy

Australia doesn't exist

We are doing alright, partially because the government is burning massive deficits and every lever possible is being pulled to prevent things from getting *too* bad

Probably pretty bad

Conspiracy Theorists won, every single discussion has to appease their retardation

No system, no matter how strong, can survive the intractable desire to send your kids into the coal mines under the command of an autocrat

>>710078
It's the worst shit in the world primarily because it impacts the left harder than the right and is now just impacting the whole country. People on the left would rather backstab each other than ever work against the right, and now the entire US would rather stab each other than work together through anything.

It pisses me the fuck off that Cuomo is trying to run against Mamdani after losing, like bro... give the fuck up. Get behind Mamdani and put out a united front.

>>710084
I think he sexually harassed a secretary or something

New York politics is a total shitshow. Cuomo is as establishment as it gets and therefor gets support from union boys that think a bit of groping is just normal flirting

I think it's insane that the center left is still shitting on Mamdani, like fuck. I don't like alot of Mamdani's platform, but I don't even want to give breathing room to the guy getting blackmailed by Trump who plans on wholeheartedly selling the city down the river.

Center left candidate lost for being a skeezy pervert, give up, move on, and back your candidate

>>710095
The big one that gives people pause is the state run grocery stores

>>710100
The issue is from what I understand, he is redirecting funds used to subsidize grocers for accepting SNAP and WIC and trying to use it to fund these grocery stores We have uh city run grocery stores elsewhere, the price itself is normally only a smidge lower than just a regular grocer. So if it starts cutting into SNAP or WIC acceptance, I'd view that as an issue

>>710106
There's no world where that goes over well, even among lefty types in NYC

>>710109
I imagine those offices likely receive funding from outside city revenues or have pools of funding which cannot be used for something other than that, they are likely in place to target organized crime since NYC is large enough to have to deal with international criminal orgs

>>710117
From cursory reading, it's used for counterterrorism coordination, it used to not receive funding from the city, but consequently, the city *wanted* to make it public policy so that they had oversight over it

>>710127
They're embeds working with the respective agencies abroad, essentially just getting information on individuals to look out for coming into the country or movement of materials

>>710134
Okay, but that's not going to convince New Yorkers that resources should be pulled out of the NYPD and put into state run grocery stores As it is, I only see the source of the funding for these state owned grocers coming from the funding for SNAP and WIC

>>710144
New York is one of the largest cities in the world with a GDP rivaling medium sized countries, I mean yeah

>>710150
Generally densely populated regions are going to have substantially higher crime rates, the entirety of NYC is as densely populated as it gets

>>710154
We used to be the recipients of the brain drain from the rest of the world, obviously this has changed now that we've begun electing gibbering retards like Trump

>>710162
Not even that, we've been benefiting from this even like through Bush and Obama. The trend only started to reverse around well..... like Trump 1 and is in full gear with Trump 2 (which is why immigration is cratering even though zero actual legislation has been passed, because now we just straight up grab students and deport them for saying something about Palestine using an all powerful executive)

>>710161
For NYC, they were the victims of one of the largest terror attacks in history, the existence of counterterrorist liaisons isn't really that strange

>>710167
The "left" in the US is largely not nearly as relevant as you believe

We literally staked out our position as a global superpower having a massive hateboner for communism

>>710179
He's in NYC running against a corrupt sexual harasser and a literal corrupt goon for an aspiring autocrat. It's not particularly surprising that he won. But he won based on NYC's more lefty cosmopolitan types, the unions and establishment organs went for Cuomo, but I hope they stfu and say "vote blue no matter who" and back Mamdani now that it's time to put their money where their mouth was

What's going on, everyone?

>>710191
Smoking tobacco

I'm smoking from my standard oil pipe

As is fitting for a man of leisure such as myself

>>710195
Do you smoke often?

>>710199
Eh, I smoke a variety of things, sometimes cigars, pipe tobacco, handrolled, I used to smoke hookah. I have a rule that if I am giving myself lung cancer, I better enjoy it, so I don't smoke regular cigarettes on principle

>>710203
We actually get that type of ad in New Orleans all the time because the roads are dogshit, the issue is that Dems like... don't know how to talk about city level issues like that at all. Which I am glad Mamdani was able to in spite of being so far to the left himself, normally those types have issue talking about low level stuff like fixing a pothole or handling traffic schedules

>>710205
Biden was fine, politics in general has the issue right now at a national level from Trump basically winning via hyper partisanship

>>710209
For me and for broadly the entire country. The inflation was the result of a global pandemic and was brought under heel meanwhile every economist was predicting outright catastrophy. We had a short term of recession followed by strong growth economically. Biden was good, he was handed the worst hand possible, beat his targets for vaccination, managed to keep things under lid. He was a strong president that everyone hates for being like... old or something.

>>710211
those are some sick octagonal glasses

>>710218
Well what would you have liked to see him improve?

>>710221
This but unironically, if you aren't posting about every dub on twitter, nobody knew or cared about it. So it didn't matter that Biden passed an obscene amount of legislation with a very narrow majority in Congress

>>710226
Biden had to work with guys like uh.... West Virginia hold on what was his name... Manchin. He was working with narrow majorities and still managed to get things through like the Infrastructure and Jobs Act or the CHIPS act

>>710226
#invert

>>710228
So should Biden, with hardly any sort of support for it at lower and higher levels tried to wield the executive like a blunt instrument even though he didn't have the means to run the bully pulpit on guys like Manchin who were overwhelmingly popular in their districts compared to him or the more progressive elements of the party

>>710232
Deep down everybody craves the boot

>>710233
>this was built by our president biden
Ironically Trump is taking credit for the CHIPS act now too lmao, you don't even have to build it to slap your name on it

>>710237
Then he would have lost, meanwhile Biden was an objectively legislatively successful president in spite of having such thin margins

>>710239
After a global pandemic, Trump gutting Afghanistan to make it into a massive clusterfuck, attacking the capitol, etc., etc. keeping things on the rails is a pretty big deal. Again, the expectation from economists for post-Covid was complete and total disaster, the view of the US was that we were weak internationally, that nothing would get done; yet we managed to accomplish all of it and did pretty well overall. Could he have done more, maybe, but he did a hell of alot more than what anybody thought and deserves a bit of credit for it

>>710245
I agree, one of my big criticisms of Biden is that I think he should have come down hard on Trump and MAGA instead of playing reconciliation. I believe if Biden was younger and could have run for another term, that strategy might have worked, but he was simply too old for it. He should have gotten a bulldog instead of putting a Republican on the case to investigate it all.

>>710257
As it is, Biden increased SNAP funding substantially, increased Medicare and Medicaid funding, got a major infrastructure package through. I just don't really see much room for him to have done substantially better with such narrow margins. Maybe he should have fellated himself on twitter more about these things. But he did literally improve the healthcare situation

Dems have an issue running campaigns

>>710262
What? Fellated him on twitter or passed that much legislation?

>>710274
Oh yeah probably.

>>710277
Israel just wasn't a big deal to Dem voters in 2024, I think exit polls put it at like... the 23rd most important issue

>>710281
Just people who voted

>>710284
2024 had a pretty high voter turnout

As in... Republicans were mad about Gaza and voted for... the most zionist president in the history of the United States?

>>710294
I just think that especially around the 2024 elections Israel was closer to a pet project for progressives that most of the US didn't really care much for. I suspect if you asked the average Democrat, they'd say "oh yeah idk like decrease funding for weapons or something, no more war in the Middle East" and not really have this override more domestic issues.

>>710298
I think that this is the crux of it, absolutely nobody ever really touted Biden's achievements like... at all. To the extent at which massive increases in funding for medicare and medicaid, that's just like... not something people know about. The ways he made it easier to enroll, the renegotiation of medicine prices, it's just all on the way side. And I think part of it is because lefties are just fucking obsessed with stabbing each other constantly, it's more appealing for us to attack each other than to promote the person that agrees with us on 80% of our issues over the person that wants to put us into a concentration camp or something

I don't agree with Biden on everything he did, like I hate that he torpedo'd the Nippon Steel Deal, I hate that he didn't go after the Jan 6ers enough, but overall he was fine. He did a fantastic job and is really quite frankly one of the better presidents in recent memory

>>710305
I am going to be honest, I like... don't get the total disillusionment. We went through a global pandemic, this is like the kind of thing that used to collapse empires of old, meanwhile we got paid to sit inside for a couple years then they made a vaccines and absolutely cracked every single expectation on it in spite of half the country thinking that it was a Bill Gate's microchip. Clearly the system has some perks if it can do that.

>>710317
I think the issue with team "keep things largely the same" is that they have a total unwillingness to be like "hey look, the things we have in place delivered this, we recovered from a pandemic in extremely short order, while team let's change things is looking to the second strongest army in Ukraine as a model for how society should be run"

I just think uh... things are generally alright and that alot of things can be solved with incremental improvements and an effort to like... not let one of the two major parties come in and annihilate everything because something something socialism something woke

>>710322
Maybe, but I also see alot of the things which would benefit those people as coming from incremental improvements to what exists. The massive expansion of SNAP bringing in funding for an additional iirc 11 million people, the increase in funding for Medicare and Medicaid which dramatically increased enrollment, the Infrastructure and Jobs Act that helped fund public transportation. I don't think things are perfect, but like... alot of what people are asking for comes out of incremental improvement that guys like Biden are consistently saying they are going to do, and then Biden like actually does it and nobody cares at all and they don't vote anyway.

It's a system that is fully capable of caring for those people and benefiting them dramatically, and I view it as being impeded by people who are obsessed with the idea of tearing it all down

What exactly would that look like?

That's sort of the thing, I mean that's the modern right wings whole shtick. That's why they were obsessed with the Epstien files, that's why they are constantly screeching about "groomers and trannies that are trying to literally KILL female athletes with VOLLEYBALLS", that's why they are saying they want to feed every hispanic person to alligators. This idea of like "we need to PUNISH these people" is really nice sounding, but it is usually the exact rhetoric used by those most deserving of punishment

The thing that benefitted the amoral psychopath in this election most was accusing someone who was actually looking to improve things of being an amoral psychopath, and it worked stupidly well

Oh yeah no, I'd 100% kill certain people lol. In a perfect world all of my political enemies would perish and I would be named supreme dictator, obviously.

Actually I would make a horrible dictator, the first thing I would do is be like "let's hammer out another constitution and return to voting please"

Basically, my perfect world, the Republican party collapses and their entire media operation falls apart, it reconstitutes itself into like..... a not mentally ill center right party.

I don't know why you'd want a functional autocracy, I don't really even think that such a thing can fit my definition of functional

Truly the real question is how to create functional liberalism, because deep down everybody wants to work in the coal mines while being whipped by their leader

#ai how many humans would it require to make a coat

dude that's, uh... dark. depends on how big the coat is, i guess, but even skull measurements had to end up with 40-ish skulls per sq meter (according to some historical records). so like, maybe 3 for a short jacket, more like 10 for a long coat? messed up math tho, and sourcing would be, um, unethical. let's not do the coat thing. how many humans would it require to make a coat

#ai okay, how many humans would it require to make a couch instead

depends on the couch. if it's diy, maybe one motivated person with time. factory made? probably like 5-10 people handling materials, assembly, upholstery, etc. handcrafted luxury one? could be multiple specialists. also, are we counting the people who grew the cotton or cut the trees? supply chains are wild. okay, how many humans would it require to make a couch instead

oh hell yeah. here's some off the top of my head:

- ed gein made a whole suit out of human skin, including a "woman suit" he wanted to wear to become his dead mom. cops found skin masks, nipple belts, and lampshades. classic.

- the necronomicon (evil dead) is bound in human flesh and inked in blood. groovy.

- witch hunts often accused women of flaying victims to use their skin for spells or charms. medieval europe loved a good skin-related panic.

- hubertus b. let his eczema scabs pile up in jars and built a grotesque little "figure" out of them. museums actually displayed it until someone pointed out "hey this is just some guy’s crusty skin flakes."

- some cultures practiced post-mortem skin removal as part of burial rites. the paracas skulls (peru) have skin peeled back to elongate the head, for example.
