Powell IS "holding the line" against Trump. He's just not holding it for YOU - but rather the ownership and investment class that is currently COLLECTING interest, not so much as paying interest. So, it's up to you how much you care about all that? Me, myself? Not at all. I got a lot bigger fish to fry.

@jwcph @AnarchoNinaWrites Not opposing fascism is demonstrably more dangerous.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Saying that Maduro's government was crooked is the new "I Condemn Hamas". Liberals cannot bring themselves to just condemn the assault on a sovereign country and the kidnapping of a head of state ( in possession of machine guns...and destructive devices!!). Because they are complicit in the soft part of the coup that undermines a country's stability and economy, sowing discontent, making it ripe for a hard coup.

They know, they have long known, that you are not gonna go quietly into that good night so Elon's 23rd child can keep jetsetting around Europe.That's why they're installing fascism, that's why the Pig Empire must have an Emperor like Trump.You want to know what the big picture is? It's just like now, but with more fire, and more fascists, and more boots stamping faces forever.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Hitler was a pretty bad Hitler, too - didn't do the world of the 1940's a lot of good...

@AnarchoNinaWrites I'm calling "sternly worded statements"...

@AnarchoNinaWrites it’s new because instead of funding and arming terrorist to kidnap and/or murder political leaders, like the US has done for decades, Trump cut out middleman and the US is openly doing it ourselves. The US has kidnapped a political leader for political leverage and financial gain, it can undeniably be labeled a terrorist state now.

tl;dr they want the oil to literally build "a trillion artificial minds," fight a genocidal race war, and maybe run to space. Also to power a bunch of Network States that will be surveillance security states - lotta AI, lotta camera, lotta data centers, etc. They want it, because the future they envision can't happen without it. And they want to secure it now, because they know it's only going to get harder as more of the planet burns.They'll do fresh water just as hard eventually.
