Just head on Fox to make your case and I'm sure you'll get the job!
And then I'd like to submit my application to be your assistant czar. I could use a low stress job that sucks money from the US budget so it can't be used in Israel or Yemen while I work on my hobbies and interests.
I can't believe a random Fox News host is our next Secretary of Defense. It's like an onion bit.
I can't wait for Gavin, the random valet guy who complimented Trump's tie, to be our Secretary of Energy and control all the nuclear stockpile.
I was just thinking this plot summary sounds very Atlas Shrugged.
Ah makes sense. Is Brazil not friendly with Venezuela? Do they use the same standard communist bad language as the US so an association with them hurts Lula's re-election?
He's ghoulish and sucks obviously, but other than that, he's just another standard neocon, isn't he? Wonder if any Trump fans who were hoping for something different than the standard Republicans and their playbook are getting disappointed with these picks.
But then, it's foreign policy and Israel specifically, so I guess only Nick Fuentes and his groypers care, while the used car dealership owners and MBA failsons who make up the rest of his base either don't care or are happy for more blood for their imperial machine.
Trump taps Mike Huckabee to be his ambassador to Israel.
A few highlights:
Wasn't Lula the one who vetoed Venezuela being in BRICS. I'm so confused by what's going on over there.
So just standard neocons again? Makes sense. Don't know why I expected anything differently.
It's also a thought experiment taking place during a short, discrete moment of time on the track. What if you stretch out the track by years? The path that seemed good before may have way more people tied to it in the long run.
That's how I saw it if the Dems felt they could get away with doing a genocide forever without a political consequence. I mean, it's hard to get much worse than that, but if the Dems feel they can do anything as long as it's one step less out loud evil than what the fascist Republicans are doing, and the Republicans keep sprinting right as fast as possible, there's literally nothing that will stop them from later abandoning those other groups people liked to put on the trolley as being saved if Harris got into office.
No one in the country wanted to take the prisoners and he was just an uwu small bean President of the United States who couldn't do anything after that.
Feel like I can't go anywhere on the internet right now. Thank God for this place.
I have been listening to Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast for awhile and have been loving it. So far, the Haitian season might be my favorite but the Mexican one has been pretty good, too. I'd highly recommend it to everyone interested in history so far. Although hearing about all the failed leftist revolutions from 1848 has been very depressing lol.
Anyway, I'm about to finish the Mexican Revolution season and am wondering, for people who have listened to this podcast who are communists, socialists, and/or anarchists, what do you think of the rest of the podcast - which looks to be all the Russian Revolution?
So far, the podcast has been surprisingly radicalizing, but I heard that Mike himself is more of a centrist and is personally critical of communism and Lenin.
He's earned enough goodwill from me up to now for me to listen to it anyway, it's not like I need all my media to be communist propaganda (or I could never watch anything). Plus, I'm sure they did make a ton of mistakes back then. But, I'm mostly just wondering what I'm about to get into here exactly.
Even handed critiques of the revolutionaries but also with appropriate context, like the Haiti or French Revolution season? A bit of emotional bias but with mostly accurate facts? Missing context and reframing of Cold War red scare propaganda? Or he's been radicalized more than I thought and he turns into a communist this season? How good is it, and how does it rank with other seasons?
Should I ask the same thing in Lemmygrad, too? Looking for leftist history nerd opinions, because I haven't seen them on the other site on this season specifically. Also, any supplemental reading or stuff to watch to better understand this final, giant section of the podcast, especially if it explores facts or perspectives he isn't already going to get into? Let me know!
Tl;dr: bolded parts
With the recent huge amounts of layoffs, video game crunch stories, and popularization of how tech is going downhill as a good career path, I wonder if it will start making progress towards unionization finally.
