Mater Real

Hargraves: I want you to think about who has the most macho army in the worldโ€”or at least the image of it. Russia, right? They pride themselves on this macho bullshit. But they invaded Ukraine, and guess what? Russia is losing 5-6 soldiers for every one Ukrainianโ€ฆ ego doesnโ€™t mean anything.

Effective intelligence, control, coordination and communication are the factors that matter. And having enough materiel of all sorts, too, of course. But even with all the materiel in the world, without those first four things I mentioned you’re gonna do nothing but lose.

As the Russians are discovering.

Itโ€™s MAGAโ€™s problem now. Living with the consequences imposed by a woefully uninformed electorate. Most people know nearly nothing, and the nearly nothing they do know is wrong.

We are approaching the end of the era when the only response to a natural disaster is โ€œto rebuild.โ€

Microsoft Office being rebranded again. Fuck, that’s stupid.

Trump reinforces use of his ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy. 100% agreed with this policy. These are economic migrants, not asylum seekers.

Done Dirty

We’ve really done Ukraine dirty. And by “we,” I mean the US, NATO and the EU. We allowed them to absorb all the Russian aggression and revanchism while providing just barely enough support to survive.

And we’ll pay for that. More specifically, the Baltics, Poland and Germany will. At least they’ll get it the worst.

Wait and see.

Vast Waste

It’s so odd that our software and applications used to have more features, be faster, and work better 20 years ago than they do now.

What an enormous waste of vast resources. And all the while shit-for-brains assclowns claim it couldn’t be any other way.

Even though it used to be another way.

Quint It

Tik tok is social media which means itโ€™s powered by people connecting with each other, and tik tok fostered many communities. Dismissing it as a dumb dancing app tells me youโ€™re deeply out of touch with the world (as well as a boring garden variety asshole)

Good example of a useful idiot. Also, the mean IQ on TikTok seemed to be in the low 60s.

Off Lay

New RTO trick.

This is a lost cause. This company will lay him off within a few months of moving back. This fake RTO was designed to force him to quit so they did not have to do a formal layoff. He should cut his losses and look for another job ASAP.

Never trust employers and always have a large reserve of funds. Never put yourself in a precarious position like this. An employer will screw you over the very moment they think it will make them more money than not doing so.

Leftism Left Us

I do think that allowing mass Islamic immigration was an actual leftist plot to destroy Western societies. I don’t think it was even that well-hidden. Just as they embrace Putin for similar reasons.

They didn’t even conceal it. The price is, you know, millions of women being assaulted and raped who otherwise would not have been. But no biggie, right? Not to them, I guess.

I Slam Islam

This has already happened in Germany. Letting North African1 and Islamic men immigrate en masse is a terrible, terrible mistake. Nothing good at all can ever come of that.

It has doomed Germany and it will destroy Japan if they keep it up.

  1. Yes, I know Pakistan is not in North Africa; read the sentence again.
