The lead poisoning stare

All good friend. I don't completely disagree anyway, I think you've hit the nail on the head here when it comes to conservatives specifically. These are the people constantly whining about falling (white) birth rates and yet they view/treat their children as property. The same people that kick their own children out on the street if they find out the kid is gay. And of course theyre removing any and all economic support for actually raising children.

And there's 10s of millions of these people in the US alone

I've noticed that the moment westerners stopped making it socially acceptable to make their kids minions they had a decline in wanting to have kids.

Would this happen to be at the same time that the cost of everything, especially raising kids, began to skyrocket while wages stagnated/fell? That really would be some coincidence

I love playing Squad but yeah, the combination of gamer + military nerd produces some of the most awful people you'll find online

It's ok for people to be uncomfortable around nude strangers

No you have to type out each one and screenshot them all individually. At least that's how I did it

Only to buy all American weapons that both don't work and require American troops/technicians to maintain peltier-laugh

Would be very interesting to see how many actually died at Bragg vs how many died overseas doing very illegal things that the public shouldn't know about, but we'll likely never know

Was going to post this as it's own comment but I think I see what you mean.

I was out with some friends recently and most of the discussion was typical small talk, catching up type stuff. Me and 1 friend got into a discussion about music. We were talking about how listening to music by yourself is really an entirely new thing, and that throughout history music has been a communal/social experience. Like when people used to be forced to work 12+ hour days, 6/7 days a week, and then Sunday they'd get together and play music together, and how it was the likely the only good thing going for them.

Then someone else jumps in and says "wow this is so deep" and just completely fucking killed the whole vibe, conversation went back to shallow small talk. It was as if the conversation being deeper than "what have you been up to?" actually bothered this person. And it was barely even a "deep" thing to talk about!

I think you're absolutely right that late stage capitalism has utterly destroyed our ability to connect. It's like everyone is afraid to say anything beyond the superficial for some reason

If the Nazis had just not had their Western campaign at tje same time as they went East, Western Europe and the US would have ignored them even if they beat the USSR and created slave societies out of every nation to their east.

Britain and France declared war 2 days after Poland was invaded.

ICE has been very deliberate in targeting the most defenseless people and communities and are avoiding anywhere known to have gangs.

They're showing up at court hearings and elementary school graduations instead

I also saw the "you are poor. Shut the fuck up" comment... Again what? Poor people can say anything?

That comment was referring to the Argentine government/state that Milei has literally bankrupted
