That explains about my work laptop. I swear that I clicked shutdown before I went on two week Christmas holidays!

MAGA: Isn’t my citizenship obvious? points at white skin

For every Mandela who won the peace prize, there is Obama, Kissinger, Machado, Amed and even Teddy Roosevelt…

My guess is that one third of peace prize recipients don’t deserve it at all, which is a lot.

Ah now, don’t think the Nobel prize for other fields, especially in science, are fake just because the peace prize is corrupt.

It’s been reported that the morale of the National Guards and Marines was really low when they were deployed to LA, questioning why they were there to against fellow Americans. Not everyone has the compunction of ICE.

What’s even there to deal on Greenland and Denmark? Denmark is not in any conundrum. If USA invades Greenland, they will lose. There is not even an American public support to invade Greenland. Despite the moral flaws of American military, many US soldiers will feel bad about invading a clearly peaceful and democratic country.

All this nonsense is Trump’s attempt to distract the people from the Epstein files. That’s how sad Trump and his administration is.

Techno-feudalism, ladies and gentlemen.

Donald: Why are GenZ’s having time off and can do what they want for their mental health? Why can’t I take care of my mental health by taking Greenland?

Well yeah, by its roots, conservatism is about not rocking the boat. Those who keep their mouths shut are not targetted. My mom kinda has that mindset of just following the authority no matter what. She would be more on the right if it weren’t for my father tempering her.

And the Hellfire missile will fired upon the invading American troops. Did you see how much damage that missile could do? It’s pretty epic!

Because some people go: akshually, we inflicted more casualties on the Vietnamese than they did to us so technically we are not defeated.

It’s an often repeated excuse since the US signed the Paris Peace accords and agreed to pull out of Vietnam. A US official at the time told that to his North Vietnamese counterpart. The based North Vietnamese official quipped “that may be the case, but that is irrelevant.”

Sorry to sound condescending, but the full faith on the law has already gone past in the US. Americans should prepare for a potential civil war.

Can you recommend such companies?

Not trying to pass judgement on you, but even European defense companies’ hands are not clean because most of them supply arms to Israel. I had stocks in Airbus, until later I found out that one of their American subsidiaries make drones, which are then used to kill civilians in Gaza. If the October 7th hadn’t happen and Israel wasn’t going on full rampage, I would have happily remain investing in European defense companies. My only European defense stock remaining is MTU Aero Engine, which has not grown in the past year but still has potential.

Again, I’m not trying to dissuade you to divest, at the end of the day we just want a comfortable life. I mean, with the growing wealth inequality and inflation, working hard and saving alone isn’t enough to keep us comfortable that’s why we invest. My coworker made money from investing In Palantir but I am not really judging him in spite of controversy with the company.

Artists are typically among those who are more than willing to fight against dictators.

I see a lot of right wing influencers arguing a kind of might makes right rhetoric.

Always the case with fucking fascists.

While that is the case, I wonder how many in America actually approves of this given the proliferation of right wing bot accounts. I think that even if the US decides to invade Greenland, that might trigger a US civil war because, unlike Venezuela and Iraq where there are dictators which give plausible excuse to invade, Denmark and Greenland is clearly a democratic and peaceful country. A lot of Americans know this. Invading Venezuela did not even create a rally around the flag effect in favour of Trump admin as some might have expected, in order for Trump to artificially shore up his approval ratings. I certainly thought that more Americans might have gotten on board with Trump admin immediately, considering how they jumped the bandwagon to support the invasion of Iraq.

Prager U is set to replace PBS, I think.

All my investments in energy and utilities are in renewable sector. It’s been doing well so far, if I do say so myself. To my knowledge, the companies I invested in are pretty ethical. I mean, green renewables are seen as the saviour and good guys industry compared to oil and gas.

I just realised my incorrect wording. I meant it is not uncommon for ordinary folks to bet their entire life savings and even home.
