@D162Michele This is hilarious. Bitch never saw any of the Borne movies I guess.

Apparently western spies are good heroic patriots but Chinese spies are all bad guys.

@SebastinoJ22039 @D162Michele I take it none of you actually watched Borne?

@D162Michele if you can control the narrative then you can put some lipstick on a pig and make her ... hani kezi. that is the power of hollywood and that is why one needs to bankrupt these instititions and studio houses and all things media made in America

@ema_credo China is afraid of Japan. Just so everyone knows where this is coming from.

日本の国家予算のすべてを軍事費につぎ込んだとしても中国には勝てないでしょう。国のサイズが違いすぎます。日本は国力に見合った安全保障策を考えるべきです。それは「日本は絶対に戦争をしません」と言い続けることです。それは決して弱腰なのではなく勇気のある誇り高いことです。

2024, 211,000 employed by Starbucks. Now I am not saying that the CEO should make that much. But you can't pay that many more people that much more money without consequences. If you eliminate the CEO salary and gave it to the employees, $460 each a year, that's all the employees would get.

The Starbucks CEO made $97 million in 2024. The median Starbucks barista made $14,674. That's a 6,666/1 ratio. a barista would have to have started working 4,643 years before Jesus was born to earn what the CEO made in a single year.

@PawlowskiMario First of all, learn the definition of Democracy. 50% + 1. Majority rule, absolute. So tired of this bullshit. This is just another lie and trying to change the meaning of words

Marxism vs Socialism vs Communism vs Social Democracy, learn the difference, because it’s huge.

@d_foubert You forgot to mention Tea

It's all the fault of the English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. This French colony gone wrong has ruined continental Europe for over 8 centuries. It is an embarrassment to Western Civilization. England is a French startup that grew sentient, deleted its operating system, and has been terrorizing the neighbors ever since. In 1066, William the Conqueror didn't actually intend to create a global superpower; he was just looking for a damp, offshore storage unit for his extra knights. But somewhere between the Battle of Hastings and the invention of the lukewarm ale, the "Normandy Expansion Pack" glitched. What was supposed to be a lovely vineyard-adjacent outpost devolved into a chaotic, rain-soaked experiment in how many ways a human can boil a vegetable until it loses its will to live. For eight centuries, Continental Europe has been forced to play the role of the exhausted parent watching a toddler with a flamethrower. The English spent the entire Middle Ages trying to move back into their "parents' basement" in France, leading to the Hundred Years' War—which was essentially just a very long, very violent property dispute over who got the good patio furniture in Aquitaine. When they finally got evicted, they didn't just walk away; they decided that if they couldn't be French, they would make "Not Being French" their entire personality. They invented an entire Church just so a king could get a divorce, and they pivoted to a global empire primarily so they could find something—anything—with actual spice in it, only to bring those spices home and use them as decorative paperweights. The sheer audacity of the British project is breathtaking. They took a perfectly functional Romance-language foundation, dragged it through a hedge of Germanic gutturals, and created a linguistic Frankenstein that they now have the nerve to export back to us. For 800 years, they have sat on that island like a disgruntled tenant who refuses to join the neighborhood watch but insists on judging everyone’s lawn from behind a lace curtain. They spent centuries meddling in European affairs just to ensure no one else could have a nice time, only to eventually execute the ultimate "I’m leaving the party" dramatic exit with Brexit—which, let’s be real, was just the final, agonizing stage of a 1,000-year-old French colony finally admitting it’s too socially awkward to stay in the room. The tragedy of the Continent is that we are still dealing with the fallout of William’s bad weekend in 1066. We gave them the architecture, the wine, and the legal framework, and in return, they gave us the Industrial Revolution (which ruined the air), the concept of "The Weekend" (which ruined productivity), and the belief that a vacation consists of turning bright pink on a beach in Spain while yelling for a full English breakfast. England isn't a neighbor; it’s a French experiment that escaped the lab, moved into a cold shed, and decided to make its misery everyone else’s problem. We’ve been paying the "Norman Tax" in psychic damage for nearly a millennium, and quite frankly, we’re still waiting for the refund.

I only pay for Disney plus and Amazon prime and Google on this list. I get YouTube premium with a bundle. I was amazed at how much money I spent on micro transactions on stupid games. I cut those out over a year ago. I have a few other subscriptions I should probably cancel, but not sure yet.

@GNW_Lover @JackWor94775747 @felix375 Vietnamese death toll of 882,000, which included 655,000 adult males (above 15 years of age), 143,000 adult females, and 84,000 children. Those totals include only Vietnamese deaths, and do not include American and other allied military deaths which amounted to about 64,000

@JackWor94775747 @felix375 retard making up numbers while the USA failed to stop Vietnam becoming a communist even with military advantage since you’re using numbers, you’re all literally getting replaced by indians you fucking retarded cuck 😮‍💨

The funny thing about these clowns is that they think the US has experience in combat. The only experience the US has is bombing third world nations. The last time the US actually fought somebody close to a peer was WWII. That hardly translates to experience today.

@felix375 As a Navy veteran, I think you are either woefully ill informed or a plant/bot. Chinese of course. But any experience is better than 0 zero none nothing nada experience.

Speaking as a US Army vet, Desert Storm. I've literally been there. Iraq was like fighting a 5 year old as an adult. We ran them over after a couple months of bombing. That wasn't a fight. It was a slaughter. China is completely different. Their military is better than the US.

@barniechie61601 @felix375 In what way has Iran not been defeated? I keep seeing this and I'm like, what the hell are they talking about? Did I miss something? I think we lost 4 planes, two to friendly fire. A couple of helicopters. I think 13 service men killed. How is this even close to us losing?

@felix375 i don’t think that’s true, desert storm was successful because 42 countries participated in the operation. russia can’t beat ukraine alone, US can’t beat iran, and china can’t do the same.

I'll go down the list. He didn't start any wars, but several started when he did nothing to stop them. He sucked the dicks of our allies and enemies. COVID recovery is not thanks to him. Infrastructure was not for infrastructure it was for climate and COVID stuff disguised. They even admitted to this many times CHIPS act, I actually give them some credit for that one. No clue what the PACT act is. He didn't build anything. He used his entire life service in Congress and White House to enrich his family. He threatened the Republicans and Trump supporters numerous times but otherwise was too chickenshit to threaten anyone else.

He didn't start any wars. He didn't alienate our allies. He created/recovered 16M jobs. He signed the infrastructure bill. He signed the CHIPS Act. He signed the PACT Act. He didn't build monuments to glorify himself. He didn't use the presidency to enrich himself. He didn't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We were BETTER off under Biden.

@AlisonRVA666 @catturd2 Because polls are always right? Especially with Trump? Yeah. . . .

@catturd2 The hilarious part is going to be when all of these insane moves are completely inconsequential in November because people are finally realizing that Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to America.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

And what socialists and communists fail to grasp is that if you take away all the money of the people and corporations that employed all those people, you are left with the government. Oh wait, that is what you want. Subservience to government instead of corporations is still no bueno.

@RealJamesWoods What conservatives fail to seem to realize is that if you give all the money to companies and forget about the people you fail the system that allowed those companies to thrive. Companies don't make themselves rich. They don't create the money they accrue. It's people they owe.

Good.

I actually agree with him, mostly. Won't happen though. One thing leftists don't like to admit is that having different cultures and especially languages is a detriment to forming a country. Look at every powerful and big country, they all speak the same language. It is one of the defining characteristics of a civilization and country. Think about it for a bit and see.

Czech President Petr Pavel says creating a “United States of Europe” is the only solution for the continent to stay relevant in the world. Pavel argued that the world is now dominated by a few big superpowers, and wants Europe to speak with one voice meaning turning the European Union into something like the United States of Europe. Pavel also said Europe must stand on its own in security and energy matters so it relies less on the United States or Russia. He discussed the idea of a “French nuclear umbrella,” where France would extend nuclear protection to other willing European countries.

@Full_MetalKaiju @affairemayaling Every Walmart here has a bread section. The big stores have huge ones with bakeries 🤷

@affairemayaling regular grocery stores have this. walmart and target don't 🤷

these are in almost every supermarket chain here. this is what we mean when we say you don’t have bread in your grocery stores.

@marcosagusstinn This seems awfully wishful. Sure there are some commonalities in culture, but also many differences. Throw in the different languages, differences in culture, education, and national personalities, the infighting would be demanding.

@mariocavolo @r0ck3t23 Whatever you say there guy. All I know is that if you bet on China, you'll get fucked one way or the other.

@bradBarry22 @r0ck3t23 Every country's lower middle class is in the same situation which has nothing to do with the fact that in every major way China is pushing ahead and will continue to do so

Jensen Huang just told you who is winning the most important race on Earth. For fifty years, America held an unchallenged monopoly on the future. We built the transistor. We launched the internet. We wrote the source code for the modern world. Then the man who builds the physical backbone of every AI system on the planet read the score out loud. Huang: “50% of the world’s AI researchers are Chinese.” Half the minds building what comes next are not ours. Huang: “70% of last year’s AI patents are published by China.” Seven out of every ten blueprints for the next era are being written in Mandarin. Huang: “Nine out of the ten top science and technology schools in the world are now in China.” The talent pipeline did not slow down. It reversed direction. Huang: “We used to lead most of them; now they lead most of them. This has completely flipped in the last half to a decade.” Fifty years of American intellectual supremacy. Inverted in less than ten. This is not a rivalry between OpenAI and DeepSeek. This is not a stock ticker or a quarterly earnings call. This is the largest transfer of civilizational power in the modern era. And it is happening while the West drafts safety frameworks and fills out compliance paperwork. Huang: “They have a large population of highly qualified students. They work incredibly hard. This is a country with an enormous might.” China does not treat AI like a product category. They treat it as the single variable that decides who writes the rules for the next century. The West keeps asking what AI should be allowed to do. China keeps asking how fast they can build it. That gap is not philosophical. It is existential. This is not a left fight. This is not a right fight. This is a survival fight. And right now, America is not fighting it like one. The nation that controls the talent controls the research. The nation that controls the research controls the models. The nation that controls the models does not ask permission. It sets the terms. History never remembers the civilization with the better safety committee. It remembers the one that refused to stop building.

@Pirat_Nation So Europe is acting like Trump? 🤯

China has warned the EU not to proceed with its new “Made in Europe” industrial plan, threatening countermeasures if it harms Chinese companies. The proposed Industrial Accelerator Act sets strict local content requirements, such as 70%+ European components for electric vehicles and batteries, plus quotas for low-carbon steel and aluminum in public projects. The EU wants to rebuild its manufacturing base and reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains. Beijing describes the rules as protectionist and “discriminatory.”

@TomjSmith2 @UnitedCanucks26 I've said this before, it's ok for you to love your country, but Americans can't, we're evil, or horrible. Evil Maga or something like that. But everyone else can love their country.

@UnitedCanucks26 I am with you. Don't worry about the bots, trolls, MAGA and separatist traitors. Most are either outside the country and/or hate Canada and likely never lifted a finger to contribute to the well-being of Canada or Canadians.

I should be able to post that I love Canada without getting backlash. Our country needs improvements,yes, but we have a lot to be grateful for. I will not stop showing my pride for my country! I will keep defending Canada’s sovereignty, and speaking my mind. Who’s with me! 🇨🇦
