@elasticsoul @benroyce "and hate for everyone else" NO! Hate takes too much energy to support and is draining for 'Them' - please note the capital 'T' as they are only pismires on steroids showing 'roid rage' behaviour - so they only despise us because we can't access the billons they have stolen from us and because we can be divided as we are many, they are few.

@ricci Yeah, read that, but you posed the question sooo.......

@ricci Have a word with yourself; if you aren't convinced the site has something you want, why convince them you're human at all?

@petergleick This pic is just messing with my head on so many levels. I mean, I have known that there are no penguins in the arctic since I was a kid. I understand the pic is supposed to be Greenland. I've also known the Penguin is a comically venal slimy villain whose self-belief bears no relation to reality, from the Adam West 'Batman' series. But who's the little guy in the image? Am I missing something?

@aapis @andrewstroehlein @Lazarou I would argue that, for example, post-WW2 European reconstruction has been thwarted by USA and CCCP interventionism; those who survived were forced to choose West or East and live or die accordingly.Now the the Putin/Trump 'colloquy' is 'exposed', then perhaps the 'European Experiment' has a chance to flourish...

@aapis @andrewstroehlein @Lazarou IIRC that's never worked because, according to Sun Tsu (etc.) 'a dictator will burn the house to rule over the ashes' or something...
The only thing that actually works is a people's movement that rebuilds from the ashes. The bit in between is what always gets recorded by the victorious, hence the anarchists and radicals written out of the history of Europe after WW2

@briankrebs So someone in the Trumpton regime has seen - and not been so drunk/such a moron that they forgot - The film 'All The Presidents Men'?
