Daily Fail readers having a bad case of their politics being sexual pathology as they are confused whether to get mad or horny.

It is so pathetic that whenever somebody pulls a harmless practical joke on a very harmful public figure, the entire political establishment unites in hyperbolic condemnation of the VIOLENCE and INTIMIDATION and the THREAT TO DEMOCRACY posed by some bozo getting milkshake on his face. They want to play victims so badly.

“We did that as well but it is not a war crime because we investigated ourselves afterwards and found out we did nothing wrong”

What normal people can take this seriously?

The problem with the Danes is that they have been so sheltered for so long that the concept of their actions having consequences simply don’t register any more. Everything is going to be welfare, roast pork and padding ourselves on the back for all eternity, war and disaster and calamity is something they have in “the warm countries”, it will never affect us.

Lots of commotion internally in Denmark while the reaction would be decided upon in Washington.

I don’t think Russia wants to retaliate so directly though. As I see it they have very little to gain from taking that bait. More likely acts of retaliation would be plausibly deniable cyber attacks or supporting some proxy in attacking Danish interests abroad. If I was a Danish troop in Iraq, I would be watching my back after this.

Dr. Neal Barnard, author of the “Cheese Trap” and adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine, explained people like Cojab become addicted to cheese due to the high concentration of fat and salt in the food, along with a protein known as casein that can “get people mildly hooked.”

I’m torn between respecting the grift and revolsion to the way they’re inflating and pathologising the first world problems of spoilt bougies.

“Cheese contains opiate chemicals that attach to the very same brain receptors that fentanyl or any other narcotic attaches to,” he said, adding that due to the high concentration of casein in cheese, “some people refer to cheese as ‘dairy crack.’”

Lol. This bullshit artist is just making shit up at this point.

Attending a two-week wellness retreat at Hilton Head Health in South Carolina, which costs at minimum $5,820 a week, helped the asiago addict gain control over her eating disorder. Instructors and counselors taught her the basics of how to order and prepare healthy meals, count calories and consider healthier snacks, like blueberries or popcorn in lieu of havarti.

What a fucking gift. We’ll charge you enough to buy a nice car just for telling you to eat fruit instead of fat and salt.

Her weight has since dropped to a string-cheese-slim 123 pounds, in part aided by Ozempic prescribed to deal with her diabetes risk, she said.

And then we’ll get you weight loss drugs and take credit for it when they work.

Is the western elite really just a bunch of spoilt failchildren held together by an ecosystem of intermingled scams, grifts and fads?

This is if course bad and all that but there is the silver lining that you can now get rid of those stubborn dandelions just by having a wank in the garden.

I would be surprised to find out they were not doing it but I don’t believe the tankie panic is all regime propaganda. “Left” anti-communism has an organic component to it as well, founded in the material interests of those participating.

If you are a comfortable western labour aristocrat enjoying a relatively high standard of living based on the exploitation of workers abroad and sometimes also at home then you have something to lose by a revolutionary chance in the social and economic order. You might feel genuinely appalled by racism, queerphobia or the deliberate destruction of the climate for profit and you might sincerely organise and agitate against these evils but you instinctively understand that revolutionary socialism is bad for you personally and know you have to limit your politics to the soft play area of liberalism as not to threaten your own position.

Unfalsifiable orthodoxy: If China threathens military force they are aggressive and belligerent, and when they in fact seeks to further their standing through diplomacy and political engagement they are nefarious and sneaky.

Isn’t there some kind of political ideology where you’re constantly obsessing over plots made by external enemies?

I can’t remember which ideology but I’m sure it’s one of the nice ones that don’t do anything bad.

This could work as an aesthetic choice but you’d have to finish it really well in order for it to last and for you to be able to keep it clean. Buying normal cupboards would probably be easier and cheaper.

Temu is not nearly as interesting for US oligarchs as TikTok. If they manage to steal TikTok, the tech oligarchs just have to run another app but if they steal Temu they suddenly have to deal with the logistics of shipping dirt cheap physical products to people.

I’m shivering imagining how cursed the content on the EU branded social media apps was. I’m having nightmarish visions of Eldritch horror levels of neoliberal cringe.

ByteDance is a private profit-maximising company. What would make most financial sense to them now?

• Leave the profitable US market and continue with less revenue
• Sell everything at fire sale prices to oligarchs connected to the US regime
• Somehow split into a TikTok for the free world and one for Burgerland and just sell the latter to the US oligarchs, thereby exposing their algorithms to the yanks.

And is it likely that the Chinese government would be intervening to get one outcome over another?

Part of the reason Democratic Germany removed it’s anti-LGBT laws was that the Stasi realised that it was a security threat. They knew that statistically a significant number of their people were queer, they also knew they had no way of knowing who that was but that it would be trivial for western spies to find at least some of them and use their sexual identity as blackmail. The logical answer of supporting queer rights theb became obvious to them.

I guess that’s the kind of decisions a state that promotes materialist thinking over idealist makes. The democratic German supreme court decision striking down some of the worst anti-gay laws were also based in materialist scientific reasoning as well y the way.

I’ve received checks three or four times in my life. I’ve never written one. As a kid I had a physical paper booklet for the savings account I put my birthday money into. The only way I can get to own a house is by winning the lottery. I remember when small shops had manual credit card machines that would transfer your account details to a slip of paper. I also remember when local stores would give credit to people from the community. I get low-key annoyed when I have to use cash instead of digital payments. My retirement plan is not to retire.

So students in Florida will learn that there is something called communism and that the deeply uncool assholes who are in charge of everything thinks it is very very bad.

I wonder what will happen once the students gets fed up with how the assholes are ruining the world they’re growing up in.

I once read somewhere that the racist myth about the “savage cannibals” arose around the same time in the 18th century when white elite Europeans were consuming ground up mummies and human bones for what they believed were medical reasons. An entire industry existed of looting skeletal remains from old battlefields for human consumption. A skull with moss growing on it was believed to be especially potent.

And that’s not to speak of how Christians have made an entire religion centered around cannibalism with Catholics who still to this day believe they’re consuming literal human flesh and blood whent they go to communion.

Every accusation is a confession.
