I'd demand to see Trump hanging from a tree as well.

Coming to a congress near you.

Wisconsin workers embedded with microchips

So if you quit do you have to take a knife to your hand to get it out?

It's a good question

I'd like to think those drones asked that question before they had chips put in them.

Janet from HR cuts it out with a letter opener during the exit interview and gives you a bandaid with stars on it.

If you just walk the **** out and give them the finger can they go after you legally to get their property back? I'm sure they'd just rescind your clearance and forget about it but that does sound like something they could make a federal case out of.

It’s seriously like a last task that would be hanging over your head.

Just in time for Halloween, kiddies...



Trial opens in lawsuit over ‘Frankenstein’ use of remains

Just had a flashback to 'that' scene in The Last King of Scotland.

When you get fired or lose your home during the crash, be sure to thank Jerome Powell for caving to investors' short-term interests. Unless we get into another exciting war, that is.

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine is selling tons of gear from throughout his career

More surprised than the cover photo than the story. Dave's in rough shape.

Dude's clearly off at least one wagon. Where's your god now, bitch?

He aged about 40 years in the span of about 3 years. Clearly he's uncovered some ancient wisdom.

I read the article and he had throat cancer so I don't know if that's what happened to his face and now he's paying off medical bills but where's your god now, bitch?

If they were clean then that dude got ripped off.

I bet it was Netanyahu and he's gonna jerk off with them for revenge.

That's pretty gross. We're there to defend oil but here's heartwarming propaganda to distract you.

Eh we're there just as much to wage a proxy war on Russia and weaken ISIS

Oil definitely matters but I think a lot of people over estimate how straight forward these wars are

We have a vested interest in pursuing strategies that empower our geopolitical interests in every relevant region in the world

And forn ask the talk about no blood for oil during Iraq and Afghanistan, we've done very little to improve our access to foreign oil. If anything we just doubled down on drilling and fracking at home to make up the difference.

Let’s not get it ****ing twisted.

Sure sure but it's still disgusting to be like hey look at this Marine making friends with these locals. People talk about left wing and right wing media but Chomsky's right. All American news is pro-American.

Yea they have that bias.. but we're still more self conscious than most countries are.. and definitely more than was normal ~70 years ago when we were burning entire cities to the ground with out a hint of remorse

Chomsky is right about America... But he ignores most of the rest of the world and pretends that because we're the most powerful we're just uniquely evil

It doesn’t mean the regular citizens get access to the oil supply to lower prices. It just means that rich ass people from wherever are going to continue hoarding the wealth selling that oil wherever. Any threat to the current power structure that would put any of the wealth attained from energy exports incites violent American military intervention. ****ing ISIS and Al Qaida my ass. All they are is a threat to control energy wealth. ****ing 9/11 and we invade Iraq. That’s like invading Indonesia after Pearl Harbor. It’s about selling the war machine and oil and keeping the super elite unchallenged. The rest is bull**** propaganda. Be for ****ing real. There’s not a drop of sincerity or concern for humanity in our foreign policy.

Jesus Christ man put down the ****ing kool-aid.

... I didn't say it was about humanity, lol. Our geopolitical interests go beyond oil. There is no oil in Afghanistan.

And that’s why we walked on by straight to Iraq.

its true

Most of the countries we're better than are third world savages

But most of the countries better than us are benefitting from our military supremacy.

yet we left Iraq and are still in Afghanistan. We knew there was no oil there when we launched the war.

I know specific oligarchs benefited from the war like Cheney through Haliburton.. but specifically how did we benefit from the oil? We left it in the hands of the Iraq govt. Hence why ISIS managed to seize parts of it when they started taking over.

Self conscious lol. We give no more of a **** about what happens to people in the Middle East than people in the Middle East give a **** about what happens in America. Give me a button that will save the lives of 100 people in the Middle East who would needlessly die in one of America's military ventures but I die in their place and I will stare at that button as a moral abstraction that means nothing to me. Show me pictures of all 100 people who would be saved at the price of my life and it wouldn't mean much more. Sit me down for a year and explain to me the lives of all those people, their friends, their family, their likes, their dislikes, their goals, their beliefs, what they're doing, what they've done, and then maybe it might start to sink in the moral question before me. But American media doesn't provide even a fraction of that kind of understanding of what we're doing throughout the world or even to our own people. It's just TV.

I've been saying it for years. Human beings are not capable of emotionally or intellectually understanding a world of 7 billion people and how they all interact. There's no moral mountain to climb with all of this ****. There's simply too much to understand for the human brain and nihilism is the only result.

Bad planning isn't evidence of non-imperialism.

We're all savages. We're just hiding it better with turtlenecks and rules of war. It wasn't third world savages who killed six million Jews in death factories.

What you're describing is universal. Very few people are principled enough to sacrifice themselves for the greater good

But we are better at least than our former selves in that we aren't carpet bombing cities. We actually consider collateral damage a bad thing.

This is actually not the norm for humans. We've been waging total war since Cain and Abel. And most societies today are quite behind on the times. The ones that aren't are usually being protected by the united States.

don't move the goal posts

We're talking about oil.

That's not due to lack of will, but lack of ability.

Genocide is very present in the third world.

And the Nazis weren't exactly big believers in the "rules of war"

Duh. America isn't ****. Humans are ****.

We aren't carpet bombing cities because we don't need to carpet bomb cities. NATO is a pretty good empire that encapsulates a significant portion of the world's most militarily and economically powerful countries. And we weren't that much more culturally advanced when we were carpet bombing cities. The difference between now and WW2 isn't one of cultural advancement, but one of treaty advancement. Start total war with China and I imagine cities will start to turn into glass regardless of rules of war that exist because the nations that agree upon them are allies.

Right so you're assuming the general public is privy to the nuances of war. Cause they never seemed to complain any carpet bombing in ww2 to nearly the same extent they complained about civilian casualties in Vietnam forward.
