Fourth turning theory is fashy crap written by a play write and a business fund manager (people with no credentials for historical analysis), worshipped by people like Steve Banon.
Accordingly it’s totally subjective, a guessing game.
Truth is: No one can predict what’s going to happen.
You could throw one at someone with a message attached.
He’s Mr. Burns but less lovable and entertaining.
On YouTube, people like Bisan Owda visit some of these places, you can see what it’s like.
Next you’re going to tell me they were never open source (they were never open source).
That’s pretty true to Nestor Makno.
Nitrogen suffocattion isn’t painless if it’s done completely of nitrogen.
You’re talking about regular oxygen suffocattion caused by decreasing the oxygen available over time.
What you’ve essentially said is “the guillotine is immoral because if you cut 1/10th of the way through, then 1/9th of the way through, then 1/8th and so on… Then it’s REAL painful!!!”
No shit.
I hear ramping up electrocution over a 20 minute period is also not great.
Yep, it’s not like we can vote him out.
Now if all nations became energy independent, and/or green energy reliant, then you’d see these counter-OPEC wars slowing down and halting… And the oil would be worth less, and those OPEC nations would no longer be perceived as a threat to Western Oil interests.
Go ask ChatGPT which nations are in OPEC. Some (or their regions) are listed (as unstable) in this thread.
They compete with Western Oil interests.
That is why these regions (africa and the middle east) are destabilized, that is that status quo, has been for decades. That’s the point, that’s normalcy for US hegemony (and western oil interests).
As for the other two issues you raised. Ukraine and Taiwan… Taiwan is never going to happen for a multitude of reasons, that’s just saber rattling. Always has been (hence why it hasn’t been attempted, even Mao knew it couldn’t be done).
Ukraine is serving it’s own survival and damaging Putin and the Russian economy in the process - there’s no real risk for America there, only a reward.
So all of this is why we have the major wars and current state of the world. Most of it represents “the center holding” as Biden put it. It makes sense if you understand the players and geopolitics.
Amazon has a healthcare company now too…
…and they own twitch.
We’re always going to end up with people who can manipulate a crowd being in charge. We’re stupid like that.
Here’s one to go get angry about, the Jordan Peterson crowd saying “Communism is slavery to the state”.
Bush Gore 2.0
Back when Florida threw out all those votes because Black people didn’t trust the system down there so they ticked, and wrote in “Al Gore”… Officials called this “over voting” even though the same candidate was ticked and written, they threw those votes in the garbage and Bush won.
So had someone not liked the pager, and given it away to a family member or friend, that person would have suffered the explosion.
Sounds like a terrorist war crime to me!
I have a theory; if this individual was in Ops, then a corridor, their brain may have said - hang on, I was just in Ops, then I left …and no one was left in Ops. I’ve left Ops unmanned! This is a dangerous situation for the station!
…and if that’s going on somewhere in the mind, whilst one is also running late (merging those worries), at the same time as passing through the middle of a set piece - then yeah your brain is going to have a confused questioning of what reality is being occupied, what concern is to be followed given the circumstances at hand.
…either that or tachyons were involved.
Most of the deaths under Stalin were from the conman Trofim Lysenko, who created “Lysenkoism” (a set of farming techniques he was faking the data on to get paid), and under both Mao and Stalin were from unwanted famines.
This is the worst farside comic I’ve seen.
