#especially international politics

That post you reblogged with the nuclear weapons interview, the man being interviewed is Ashley. The interviewer is a comedian portraying the character of Philomena Cunk, she does bits like this of just being wildly misinformed for comedic value.

Well that’s great to hear lol I didn’t think anyone could be that obtuse, but considering things going on in this world that’s sadly no longer so far fetched.

Using some psychological profiling to question whether a country with nuclear weapons would actually use it, the likelihood is slim to none— at least in the main powers save for North Korea who’s difficult to get a good read on with limited information. The threat of use itself is more of a “hail Mary,” meaning no one will use it because it also assures their own death, and while even though Putin is sociopathic, he’s not suicidal as far as I can read into. That said, of course, it’s impossible to say for absolute certainty because sociopaths & psychopaths actually do have suicidal tendencies when they feel like they’ve completely lost but refuse to admit it even to themselves. It’s a trait of narcissism. The worst of them historically have not committed suicide.

Anyway, so far this threat has been successfully believed by the public. Whether or not international politicos realize it’s a Hail Mary, I don’t know. If people DID realize it is a Hail Mary, then the super powers (minus N. Korea) loose their only true Trump card and the rest of the world might actually… kick them off their high horses like in the fantasy movie A Bugs Life lol.

What using the tiniest bit of US leverage can do.

Remember George's outline notes that had "joy of giving" and "mercy at the gate" for Arya? Mercy is crossed out and we obviously have that as her sample chapter, so what if Arya's next alias is "Joy"? Over-thinking the significance of that phrase and how it could apply to the rest of her Braavos arc🤔

‼️PSA‼️

There is now a Palestine Solidarity Encampment to push the University of Wollongong, Australia, to disclose their complicity in weapon manufacturing to the public and divest from their military ties to Israel!

Spread the word!

leading lady of comic: I wonder why, unlike my first husband, my second husband says sweet things so easily. Is it bc he's younger than me? is it bc he used to be kind of a slut?"

how are the posts about the eu elections literally more annoying than the ones about us elections. didnt think that was possible. and why is literally nobody differentiating the european union and europe. so you are politically invested but dont even bother to use the right terminology even though there are 20 different countries in europe that are not in the union? oh you worry the eu is going to become fascist now when it has been such a beacon of peace and freedom before? maybe im cynical but the takes i see make my eyes roll into my head. reverse the european union back to be a trade union im begging i cant do this anymore.

Your writing is always great, I need you to write something to either making us optimistic about the future of the club or to make us realize how much in deep shit we actually are please 😭

Babe, just browse through my La Liga 2022/2023 tag and mourn with me. 💕

Listen okay I think since the US wants to be all up in every other country’s business all the damn time, the rest of the world SHOULD in fact get a vote

[rad-hound]

Okay, I believe I have composed myself, for the time-being.

Clearly, the Democrats' campaign trail was a disaster from the start and reminisced heavily of Clinton's campaign from 2016... however, it is projected that the Democrats may win the House of Representatives, potentially putting hold to a lot ot the new president's... unsavory ideas.

People inside the United States who should be affected by any of the GOP's future shenaniganry; keep your friends and family close, create support systems within your community to lighten the load. Give yourself moments to breathe — to recollect yourself and to come up with a contingency plan as to how you will move foward, now that the worst has come to pass — as it is true that many others suffering as a result of the United States' evil have it worse than we do, at the moment.

People outside the U.S., in neighboring countries — Canada, Mexico — or those who are currently being ravaged by war overseas at the hands of the United States' funding; I am so sorry, especially those suffering in Palestine, and those who live in Ukraine, in Europe, and in surrounding countries who may potentially become a target in the event that P*tin feels emboldened to attack NATO.

All eyes were on us and we failed you. Most of all, we failed ourselves. But we must persevere, regardless of what is to come. I will, as hard as it may be, because if people suffering at the hands of Isr*el can still find it within themselves to persevere, so can I, given the differences in circumstance. As long as the statute in my country will allow it, I will be boosting resources and donation pools for the foreseeable future.

Free Palestine. Fuck the U.S.

Kim Jong Un barged into my house with another chubby North Korean guy and insisted that I help him launch the other man's career as the first internationally successful North Korean KPop star. I tried to tell him that I 1) know nothing about launching a music career, 2) am not really into KPop anyway, and 3) don't really want to help him on account of the fact he is Kim Jong Un, but he refused to leave until I did.
