not the only ones spreading death and displacement,

Russia, Turkey, Israel, and Saudi Arabia to name a few of the worst offenders

I know every country has its problems and that there are desperate people everywhere.

but its very much american exceptionalism, that americans would assume people coming from a country that has infinitely more worker rights, would move to their failing state just to work.

Im tired of pretending we need to humanize people who abuse POWs by making them dig their own graves before murdering them, castrating them, cutting out their eyeballs, mow down civilians whilst having them all tied in a chain together, or who look at them the wrong way, loot and vandalize people’s homes and leave hand grenades and landmines in their cupboards as a parting gift. and all of the other things the esteemed Armiya Rossiya has done to its so called “Slavic Bretheren” the last decade.

and dont get me started on the Dedovschina Rape culture in the Russian Army.

All militaries are violent, but The Russian military takes it to a different level, it’s permiated in a culture of savages who revel in the practice of dehumanization, and I shed no tears for people who choose to behave this way, getting put to the sword.

theres a reason some started calling them orcs.

Russia cant compete economically, technologically, or diplomatically, all they have is violence and coercion, No one except chauvinists would ever -want- to join Russia, so if Russia wants someone to join them, they really only have one card, war.

I have so many old games and programs on my win10 PC that the amount of effort it would take to get everything back to the way it was, would almost argue for just getting a New PC and not bothering with the migration.

I know that its not based in science… but I just dont trust windows OS migration. I did it once from Vista to 7, and something messed up, and had to reformat the entire drive and fresh install, losing everything.

as for getting a new PC , hardware wise, it will cost me several thousand and will probably only be a fraction of an increase of the system I have right now. its just not worth it.

so all in all, I think Im going to just play danger zone, and ride Win10 into the digital apocalypse for a while.

" I’m convinced the primary reason they are popular, is people are too lazy to want to have to read news/information of whatever topic and assemble it into something resembling their own opinion. They’d much rather have some other person read, parse, watch the goings-on and then deliver it as the influencer’s opinion."

You’ve essentially described why idiots like Joe Rogan are so powerful

Voters don’t read research articles though. They don’t have time to do research.

To them. Research is listening to some sock puppet who puts on the disguise of a layman’s podcast like Joe Rogan. Or they share bullshit that crazy uncles and foreign social media shitposters created on facebook

Damn it. Ivan, with the cigarette, in the ammo dump AGAIN?

Is your wife from a background that could be remotely linked to something “bad” by crazy radicals?

that basically boils down to being from any part of the world that constitutes as Brown, Socialist, Controlled by China, or Controlled by Europe, in the Radical’s view.
