Progressives are liberals... liberals are democrats.... democrats are right wing. The USA has been and still is a brutal imperialist empire. The world is capitalist. You are not going to vote this away. It would require kinetic contributions to change things. They gonna bail out the gipitiy and dominate your votin treatser arse. I give you the room via space and time to see the light. I will be waiting.

There is no democracy nor was there ever in the land of the cheese burger fart. The USA is and was always a brutal imperialist empire. The left and the right pyramid lives in a vacuum in all societies. Sometimes globally but the capitalist cartels fight amongst themselves and self interest kicks in or some how it is all apart of the act for their greater good. This is produced by those at the top via good cop bad cop method. Without collective self awareness things will play out. You can speed them up or slow them down. Either way things will play out scientifically and optics are just shadows dancing on the walls for life is a stage. Trump is a byproduct... many are like him around the world.. like little clones. Yo nancy pellosi sucksss. That is all.

    When I stack dominoes in a line on the floor and I push one of them on the outside as it is in the shape of a snake... they fall down in a prdictable pattern. I never knew that would happen until I was shown the first time. This knowlege was past down via print made by humans scraped by bots. For what and for who? Louder faster and dumber.... on a foundation of jUsT gEt iT d0Ne... now you are fired. Loops, poops and dupes.

    It would make sense. Any serious nation in this climate would... even in times more peace full.

    As we go up the escalation ladder in the interest of capitalist ambition,

    the nonsense and violence (via the privatized artificial state) inflicted on the modern human will increase,

    as personal liberty will decrease. These are the later stages of capitalism. On a path to nowhere on tracks coming to a end….

    That is where you will find the cliff and some people will only see it when it affects the directly.

    I think …. shit head toddlers with all the toys. Someones pleasure is someone else pain…

    That’s why collapse is not such a bad thing. The great equalizer. Everybody chirpin thinking they Niccolò Machiavelli..

    people so bored they eating each other. Hypnotized by the over socialized chatgipity dum dum dragnet as the pleasure themselves with their idols.

    The modern world is just louder, faster and dumber. There has been no progress.. well I guess that depends on

    where you are standing $$$ and that shit pile is getting higher with less at the top.

    How far we allow them to go? I guess all the way to space.

    Peek a boo I see you 👶

    Russia is acting normal. To be expected. It is a dance.

    The nonsense will reach as far a we can fling our shit.

    The USA is a immature imperial brutal empire with vassal hornet nests that have

    leaders selling assets to foreign capitalist ensuring compliance and lack of accountability.

    Entanglement by design via man made crisis.

    Yet if you untangled it wouldn’t help.

    Capitalism is the problem.

    Lufthansa beats Air France-KLM after improved bids in September
    Deal is part of sector's consolidation
    TAP carries record 8.2 million passengers in first half of 2026
    

    LISBON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Portugal's government on Wednesday picked Lufthansa (LHAG.DE), opens new tab

    to buy a stake of up to 49.9% in TAP ‌Air Portugal for €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) over rival Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA), opens new tab

    , making the German airline the strategic partner of one of Europe's last unaligned flag carriers.

    The deal, years in the making and repeatedly delayed, is the next step in the consolidation of Europe's airline industry, a process seen as necessary to help smaller national carriers become ​more resilient as part of larger groups.

    The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.

    Analysts and industry executives say that is likely to accelerate as soaring jet fuel prices ​linked to the war in Iran force weaker airlines to work with larger, better-capitalised groups.

    Lufthansa, which already owns ⁠Austrian Airlines, ITA Airways and SWISS among other carriers, beat rival Air France-KLM after both airlines submitted improved final bids in late ​September.

    "This will give them an additional hub, albeit in a sphere of influence where they've lacked reach currently," said aviation analyst John Strickland, as ​Lufthansa will gain further access to Southwest Europe and other parts of the world by extension.

    TAP's main attraction is its valuable landing slots connecting Lisbon with Brazil, Portuguese-speaking Africa and the US, routes that underpin Portugal's diaspora ties, tourism flows and investment links.

    Prime Minister Luis Montenegro told a news briefing the winning bid ​exceeded Air France-KLM's offer by 16%.

    Speaking at the World Aviation Festival in Lisbon before the announcement, TAP CEO Luis Rodrigues said joining a ​larger group would allow the Portuguese carrier to "access a larger pool of resources at better value". THE PERKS

    The government said its decision was based not only on ‌price but ⁠also on each bidder's industrial plan for TAP, including its strategy for the airline's growth and long-term sustainability.

    It wants TAP's partner to expand operations and connectivity across Portugal's airport network, not only at Lisbon's hub but also in Porto, Faro, the Azores and Madeira.

    Infrastructure Minister Miguel Pinto Luz said the Lufthansa Group has committed to increasing TAP's fleet to 117 aircraft by 2035 and 130 after 2035, when Lisbon's new airport ​is expected to be operational.

    As of ​June, TAP operated a fleet ⁠of 101 aircraft serving 93 destinations worldwide — 52 in Europe, 16 in South and Central America, 14 in Africa and 11 in North America.

    TAP carried a record 8.2 million passengers in the first half of ​2026, up 4.2% from a year earlier, while operating revenue rose 4.3%. A ROCKY ROAD AHEAD

    Analysts pointed to ​Lufthansa's ongoing financial ⁠woes as a potential challenge in TAP's turnaround. Such deals require initial investment, and the pay-off isn't always guaranteed.

    "Lufthansa is still struggling financially. Lufthansa Deutsche Airlines, as the largest part of the group, is still losing money. It has to get its own house in order," Strickland told Reuters.

    Lufthansa has ⁠vowed to ​reach an operating profit of 8% to 10% between 2028 and 2030 and ​to simplify and centralise its operations in an effort to rebuild investor confidence.

    The turnaround of Italy's ITA is still ongoing, too, Strickland said, with investors and analysts previously worrying ​about the impact of Lufthansa's fragmented and spread-out network.

    (This story has been corrected to clarify that the plan is to expand TAP’s fleet to 117 aircraft, not by 117 aircraft, in paragraph 11.)

    AI is a turd sandwich. LLM is predictive word math... when things line up it runs scripts. It is one of the most unholy creations. A volunteer dragnet. A centralized hub of control where the wizards of OZ turn the dials. They want to cuck us and build the next layer of the prison of this capitalist hell. One more weight added to a pancake. Everybody has been drafted. You have no choice. dOn'T yOu LiKe yOuR SocIaL mEdIa?!?! Nah dawg video games and the gipity use gpu hotbox datacenters we were just fine with those cpus. More of the same is just louder fasted and dumber. The gipity ain’t shit. Your economy is shrinking, the wealth is consolidating. People hate AI… How would you like sugar free candy? Like everybody is losing their shit over a search engine that has more features. The titains have been released and they are consuming us exponentialy. When the econmy tanks they take you to war.

    Laith Marouf joins Pan-Africanist, anticolonial militant and rapper Flàvio Almada (LBC Soldjah) to report on the militarized demolition campaign targeting Lisbon's Bairro Santa Filomena. Like Cova Da Moura, Bairro Santa Filomena forms part of the Portuguese state's strategy of ethnically cleansing it's internally colonized communities where many former colonized Africans, migrants and the poor reside - which, as Flàvio says, produces "peripheries of the peripheries." In their discussion, Flàvio and Laith connect the demolition to historic and continuing attacks of western imperialism on the internal colonies of Brazil, France and the US, touching upon the 1835 Salvador Malê Intifada of enslaved muslims, the police murder of Nahel Merzouk, the 1985 MOVE bombing, ICE kidnappings, and the arrest of the revolutionary Mumia Abu-Jamal.
