And they got the number of fingers correct.
I mean yes, I love airshows, but there’s something about a mass celebration of these machines of death where a crowd gathered for a completely unrelated purpose gets to see the last thing an afghan child at a wedding sees gives ick in a way that normal airshows, even with all the military recruitment and propaganda don’t.
It doesn’t even apply to all flyovers, sometimes it’s like F-14s or Chinooks or WWII era planes where the message isn’t so dark.
Does anyone else also fly bombers and fighter jets over stadiums at the start of a game? Do you take 2-5 minutes to honor some guys in the military during half time?

I literally listed countries where you wouldn’t be meaningfully contributing to the system.
Periphery countries still contribute to the system; the US doesn’t have military bases in most of those countries by happenstance, but because keeping them in that position benefits the bourgeoisie.

To be clear, the answer isn’t to say everything is futile and hopeless, it’s to participate in organizations which don’t contribute to the system and build duel power within these countries, or just move to non-capitalist countries.
Turns out inflation doesn’t quite work the way most economics courses teach. That may be related to the way billionaires fund a lot of university’s economics departments.
stop working for those billionaires
There is only a few countries you can move to that allows you to not contribute to those billionaires.
I’m not saying that fleeing the US isn’t a good idea.
That’s money (ideally) used to benefit everyone.
Not really; the federal government prints money; they don’t tax you to fund programs, they tax you to reduce the monetary supply.
State governments do have to be funded though.
I am not talking about taxes, I am talking about the profit the capitalists make off your labor. The trillion dollar media empire OP is talking about, Fox News, CNN, Reddit, twitter, etc aren’t funded by your taxes, though they are subservient to the state department.
Not to say that dodging federal taxes isn’t either good or neutral, but the problem isn’t specific to this administration.
Where are you living that the wealth you create doesn’t end up in the hands of billionaires who then spend it on propaganda to convince you and others that that is just?
Cuba? Vietnam? Laos? China?
If you’re working for a wage while they reap the profit or subject to market forces they dictate, they’re taking your money.

Why do they all run straight for hundreds of miles? None of the other deserts are like that.
What’s with blob of parallel watersheds in the middle of Australia?
I checked on google maps, it’s the Simpson Desert, it kinda looks like that. Anyone know why?
The open zionist who chased a black guy through his neighborhood with a shotgun because he thought he must be stealing was bad before the brain damage, we just mistakenly told ourselves he learned from his mistakes or was saying zionist stuff to stop AIPAC from funding his opposition in the general like they did during the primary.
It’s better to let them look at the sentence and be like “Wait, I can read this”
Who will read it?
Yall know he’s pro-Israel right?
Most Hollywood actors have garbage geopolitical takes. The only exceptions I can think of are Boots Riley, Roger Waters, and Pedro Pascal.


I would, but I am not traveling to Montana for soup.
