The only way to address the drug problem is for the government to sell a clean supply of whatever drug you want, at cost, with access to addiction treatment.

But that would mean millions of cops losing their jobs.

Yeah I think him killing himself would be great for them, any prisoner outside of a private prison killing themselves is great for them, and the infrastructure if the criminal justice system is built that way

I’m actually hoping for a coup by the military industrial complex

The situation is pretty grim in American prisons. I can absolutely believe two cameras were totally busted and one bothered to fix them

Rikers Island’s Deplorable Conditions: A federal monitor’s report revealed unsanitary conditions at Rikers, including showers covered in mildew, infestations of roaches and flies, and broken fire safety systems. Veronica Vela of the Legal Aid Society described the jails as “rife with abuse and violence” and emphasized that these conditions reflect a lack of prioritization for humane treatment[2]. Judge Laura Taylor Swain also criticized the worsening violence, self-harm, and deaths in custody, calling the conditions “abnormal and unacceptable”[5].

• Deaths and Overcrowding: In 2025, Rikers recorded its first death of the year, adding to a grim tally of 34 deaths since 2021. Eighty-six percent of detainees are held pretrial, presumed innocent, yet subjected to overcrowded and dangerous conditions. Advocates have called for urgent reforms to meet the legal obligation to close Rikers by 2027[8].

• Human Rights Crisis: Over 80% of Rikers detainees have not been convicted but endure degrading conditions. Advocates like Keli Young from VOCAL-NY demand investments in housing and alternatives to incarceration to address systemic issues[9].

• Calls for Federal Oversight: Amid these crises, advocates argue for federal receivership to improve safety and accountability. However, city officials have resisted such oversight despite mounting evidence of systemic failures[2][5].

The rebels in Myanmar are winning.

There’s a new miracle drug for addictions.

That’s all I can think of.

They don’t believe anything they aren’t experiencing first hand is actually a problem.

As much as I don’t like it, they have clearly made their own personal suffering a prerequisite for any solutions being allowed to move forward

Anything bad that happens to a conservative is good. The world will only get better if they are made to repeatedly suffer.

These guys think liberty is them having the freedom to dominate others

This isn’t a leaopards eating faces thing for republican women. These women derive social, economic, and political benefits through their association with the men who hold power in our patriarchal system. By aligning with backwards gender roles or evil ideologies, they feel protected and valued within the system even as it restricts their autonomy. They know what they’re doing.

Sometimes it’s okay to discuss things and consider them from a different angle than the one you’re used to. It can help give you a new perspective on things. Broadening your understanding of things.

The Battle of Stalingrad ended on February 2, 1943, with the surrender of German forces after months of intense fighting, marking a major turning point in World War II.

D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944, marking the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France.

Your response to me only makes sense if you think I am saying that the Soviets could have beaten the Nazis on their own with no lend lease program or the British holding out against the Nazis.

Am I saying that? Can you quote one of the sections of my comments that is giving you that impression?

If you would stop getting defensive for no reason and actually read my comments, maybe you’ll actually be able to understand what I am saying?

Let me lay it out, as clear as fucking possible for you:

• Americans provided material support to allies fighting the nazis

• The goal of this is not to stop fascist ideology, but to keep the status quo maintained in Europe and Asia

• The Soviets win Stalingrad and begin pushing west. Nazi defeat is all but inevitable.

• American inaction here would result in a red german and red france. Possibly even red Italy and the overthrowing of Franco’s fascist regime in Spain.

• Americans prioritize victory in Europe over the Pacific, even though the Japanese navy is the bigger threat to them.

Ergo:

• It’s not the defeat of fascism that the Americans were interested in, it was maintaining a status quo and preventing communism from spreading through Europe

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATRS OF AMERICA

You’re welcome to insult me all you like, but then have the balls to answer the question i proposed to you.

He’s so beautiful

What sort of extensions would one use for a note taking app? What sort of notes to you take with it?

If no D-Day then the Soviets just liberate Europe all on their own. Why risk so many American lives unless you’re preparing for the next war?

Japanese also thought the Americans would give them better terms of surrender than the British or thr Soviets.

I’m not saying America was pro-nazi (though some were). I’m saying the US could’ve fought Japan and just continued to fund the Soviets. The red army was more than up to the task of sweeping through every country held by the Nazis after they broke them in the East.

They didn’t though, they prioritized victory in Europe ahead of victory in the Pacific. That is because they were racing against the communists to liberate as much as Europe as they could. They were already planning for the next war.

Remember how the justification for nuking civilians in Japan was so American soldiers didn’t have to give their lives taking the island? So why sacrifice American lives in Europe if you know the USSR is months away from totally steamrolling Nazi Germany? There has to be a geopolitical reason.

Fire 200,000 federal workers.

Destroy tge USPS, obliterating snall businesses.

They really are doing everything they can to get labor costs down. This tight labor market these last few years must have been driving the upper class insane.

I would go as far to say the reason they did d-day wasn’t to defeat the nazis, but to liberate as much of western europe as they could before the soviets set up social republics in france and the netherlands.

DOGE stands for Destruction of Government Efficiency
