The leaders of Western society have been corrupt assholes since day one, and the whole miserable project keeps trundling along anyway.

"Ignore the corpses and human misery, look at these made up numbers" is old hat for them at this point

Gorbachev legitimately deserves to be remembered as one of the great villains of the 20th century.

Will check out Collapse.

Zionist cry crocodile tears

I always refer to Norman Finkelstein on this topic.

If I had to pick just a couple, then Twin Peaks and The Prisoner. Both have interesting styles, both keep you asking questions rather than spoonfeeding answers, both were ahead of their time.

Batman: TAS was and is dope. The entire DCAU is the best adaptation of comic books to date. There's a reason Alan Moore was happy to give his approval to For the Man Who Has Everything.

Shout out to Dwayne McDuffie too. Passed too soon.

Bob Barker ran me over, and when I cried out for help, he backed over me, shouting "Mess with the Barker and you'll get bit, baby!"

It really is inconceivable to them that other people have actual principles that they won't drop the moment they're even slightly inconvenient.

Oh christ, you've really been through it with them then. You have my sympathies.

The whole system is pretty much designed to humiliate and punish those in need for seeking the minimum level of support. It's a hellish bureaucracy overseen and operated by the exact kind of people you'd see working as file clerks in some fascist government.

Multiple doctors have written letters of support saying my condition likely won't improve.

You'd think that'd be the end of it, but they'll continue to argue the case sometimes. I haven't had it that bad in comparison, but prior to my dad finally dying, they continually argued the toss about his deteriorating condition, including questioning if his mobility issues were really that serious/longterm (he'd lost a leg by that point).

I'm an occasionally psychotic (in the medical sense) agoraphobe with serious substance abuse issues. If that's not too offputting, I'm free to talk pretty much whenever.

I can relate to endless benefits assessments thing btw. They really do make you fight for every damn penny.

Don't lose hope.

Lol, the first source he cites in these is wikipedia, then perhaps one book. For some of them, the only source is wikipedia.

Not beating the allegations with this one, champ (that's short for champion)
