Literally no one cares what the US wants anymore.

Plenty of people care. The reactionary white nationalist politics isn’t unique to the US. You’ve got white nationalists crawling all through Europe and Latin America

Idk, the TV told me this is antisemitic to think about

Can’t trust mainstream American news because they’re right wing

Can’t trust foreign news services because they are all psyops campaigns intended to trick Americans

Who the hell are you allowed to trust? TikTok influencers and indie podcasters?

Don’t be a tankie.

Israeli military-grade bullets were recovered from the bodies of children killed during the armed riots in Iran, according to forensic examinations cited by a source within Iranian security structures speaking to TASS.

Among the cases was an 8-year-old girl from #Isfahan, fatally shot in the “stomach, chin, and back of the head” while shopping with her family, and 3-year-old Melina Asadi, who was killed in #Kermanshah while returning from a pharmacy with her father.

The findings come after armed groups infiltrated peaceful economic protests in #Iran in early January.

Iranian officials accused “Israel” and the #UnitedStates of orchestrating the violence that turned the protests into deadly attacks on civilians and security personnel.

Like the US is taking an entire nation hostage

Idk, sounds like Tankie Talk to me

A kind of Third World, independent of the dueling hegemony, as it were?

He’s a very British kind of racist who panders to a particularly British kind of white nationalism.

Naturally, the liberal response is to blame his existence on evil foreigners, while trying to outflank him on the right.

British are as bad as “I have no idea who voted Trump” Americans.

Hard truths. New Labour only ever knows how to run to the right of the opposition and the old Conservatives can’t campaign their way out of a paper bag. So it’s Reform UK in the next election, strictly due to liberal incompetence.

He gets in the news constantly by issuing the most reactionary takes. He’s got tons of friends in the corporate sector, because he knows exactly which assholes to lick. And his opposition is physically incapable of turning left, so he can periodically outflank Starmer on real bread-and-butter issues by saying “I’ll expand the NHS! I’ll be tough on the Bad Businesses! I’ll fight for the working class [white people]!” while Labour just stutters and tuts and replies “That wouldn’t be sensible.”

Israeli arms sales break record for 4th year in row, reaching $14.8 billion in 2024.

Billing one half of Iran to kill the other half.

Most simply contribute to their Roth or IRA or whatever and let the market play out over decades, just as we were taught.

Long term, it has been a smart play. Very hard to find a historical milestone where a $1 invested in Year X is worth less than year X+10, much less X+40

would like your take on the Buffett Index topping 200% for the first time (total stock market value vs. GDP). It was around 130% in 1929 and 2008.

I mean, Berkshire itself is trading at 15 p/e. So if you take the index seriously, it’s a good place to shelter your money when the storm hits.

But Buffet was a value investor and we’re in a growth investor economy. I wouldn’t say the index is a good indicator of a pending crash any more than it was three years ago.

Considering the disproportionate amount of stocks in AI, and, so far, no clear path to investors seeing a return, I’m scared shitless.

Bulls make money

Bears make money

Pigs get slaughtered

Diversify your portfolio, understand why you think an investment has a bright future (and when that future has dimmed), don’t try to time the market, and don’t beat yourself up if you’re wrong.

I don’t see anything in this market to be afraid of. I see a plethora of opportunities to generate healthy returns long term.

I’m not a fan of the guy but I don’t understand what he’s supposed to do here

I would argue that this strengthens his campaign.
