  • With the exception of the Gulf War, America hasn’t been able to win one since WWII. America’s so confident in the tech it’s developed that its strategists can’t figure out an end game to any conflict they’ve dragged the military into. Dumping money into the defense industry isn’t the same as having an effective fighting force if its soldiers are demoralized with systemic neglect and shit pay. Sure we can carpet bomb the shit out of cities and place defensive points around oil wells, but that only makes the natives switch to guerilla tactics that can be very difficult to detect or counter.




  • I looked up a house recently as part of a Craigslist transaction and noticed it was the only blurred one in the street. I checked its Zillow listing and saw way more than what you could see on Street View anyway and chuckled. When I got there I saw there was a Tesla parked on the driveway which probably explained why it was blurred in the first place.

    Essentially all of America’s problems are because its population is so uneducated. We want simple answers to complicated questions because that’s the best we can hope to understand. 52% of us can barely read at a 6th grade level FFS. The ignorance then allows us to entertain some pretty dark thoughts leading us to Trump.
