I think americans are willing to be as russophobic as they are because all the things the mainstream media/US state department says about russia (corrupt oligarchy, takes things by force, bigotry and LGBTQ discrimination etc etc) are *exactly* the things america has been doing, out in the open, for most of our lives.

Does it feel better to blame it on someone else, or to "both sides" fascism and oligarchy? Does that feel right, somehow?

US state has openly researched "gain of function", specifically on coronavirus, for almost half a century now. They claim "we combine strains to see... if they can gain new functions, so we can learn about them"

And now we have a constantly mutating pandemic COVID19 that continues to gain new functions, we have active government suppression of measurement and study, we have active anti-vax eugenicist nazis in the federal government, including president, and you have to wonder....

why the fuck does it feel like... I keep blocking the bluesky bridge, but it keeps coming back?!?! Are they changing URLs or something? I swear Ive blocked it like 8 times on 2 accounts.... but I keep seeing bluesky slop via the bridge. IM NOT INTERESTED IN BLUESKY/THREADS/TWITTER/FACEBOOK or any centralized shit, and I see accounts from those networks as MALWARE. Get the fuck out. I dont use those networks. GTFO.

omg wtf is this. Why. Why is this the updated UI? The existing, more minimal UI was fine.

I bet its weird when you are at the CIA HQ and you are doing all your cool CIA shit with impunity and your job is super cool and super secure and then... OOPSIE! Regime change!

Suddenly your handlers are fired. Your entire team is gone, replaced by a couple fascist kids without any idea what the CIA even is, and starts ordering you to run the OPPOSITE propaganda. I bet that is a fucking WILD ride lmao

When fascist republican governments attack liberal democrats and say things like "we are going to make it illegal to run as a democrat in texas" or "we will crush the democrats", this is just like when the catcher makes hand signs to the pitcher.

The US military oligarchy hates the russian military oligarchy because mafia/oligarchy states dont like it when smaller oligarchy/mafia states exist and dont pay tribute.

If Russia was US-aligned in the same way Europe or Japan is, for example, everything they are now doing would be US-approved.

Consider that for a moment.

Remember when the US democrat regime that began the ukraine/russia proxy war under Anthony Blinken and Biden convinced Bay Area neoliberals and Kamala Harris supporters to hold bake sales for missiles and RPGs for Ukrainian Azov Brigade fighters(by *name*), WHILE THE US STATE was sending them $200 billion and all the weapons they could want?

Pepperidge Farms remembers, or however that phrase goes. The bake sales are all over social media, if you want to look.
