The Europeans should have established safe zones in Syria to resettle refugees.

this is going to be the next cause of geopolitical strife and war, imo.That Cape Town didn’t run out of water in 2018 is now being framed as a story of resilience and adaptability. When tourists arrive at the airport, one of the first things they see is a big sign exhorting them to Save Water Like a Local. The suggestion is that we did something special and a bit mysterious. A lot of us did ‘change our relationship with water’. It’s difficult not to respond with alarm when you see a councillor describing the situation as ‘utterly catastrophic’, or when you hear about engineers crying in meetings. There were a few people who refused to be swayed from their conviction that this was one of those scams the government pulls from time to time in order to hike up water tariffs. Some of those people, among them a member of the provincial legislature, found a way to turn it into a conspiracy involving the ‘Jewish mafia’. That really did happen. Alongside the barking mad, there were those who were just a bit bored and irritated by the whole business. Wouldn’t it be fine? Weren’t we more or less OK?

Millennials lived through smaller versions of the Great Depression and now Spanish Flu. We need a smaller version of World War 1 and so we can unarguably be the second greatest generation.
I get this is mostly a joke, but I honestly can see our generation experiencing a relatively major war. My guess would be in East Asia somewhere, maybe with NK or China. The current trajectory doesn't look all that great.SuperJail Warden wrote:

india and pakistan have always been the world's biggest threat for nuclear war. this is shockingly overlooked all the time by western media.
they hate one another, are led by militant nationalists (or just the plain military with little pretense of government at all), they share very complex borders and disputed semi-autonomous zones, and both have nuclear weapons armed and pointing at one another.
north korea barks a lot and fires the odd occasional soviet scud into the japan sea, but pakistan has a real intelligence service and a real military.
modi is presiding over the world's biggest democracy and leading it down the path of virulent, outright nationalism. his party is a front for the RSS, a vast and paramilitary network of basically fascist-hindu political thinking. modi came up in this organization and it still sets the agenda. i suggest you do some reading into the RSS and its ideology. they are completely terrifying and lynchings/riots/murders are common in india at present. not to mention that they just shut off the internet in kashmir and declared its muslim inhabitants on their own basically overnight.
it's common to hear policemen running through the streets in certain indian cities shouting about the blood of muslims. it's not a pretty sight.

I just hope India and Pakistan stay rational enough to be informed by the concept of mutually assured destruction. I think whatever happens will be some proxy war fought by nuclear nations in some poor third party country. Like another Vietnam or similar.

I hope India wins and scores the first big victory in the 21st century crusade against Islam.
india is the aggressor in many cases here. like most nationalist bully-boy regimes, circling around the leader and defining an enemy are effective. india seems ridden by political corruption and is a powder keg of social ills. so much easier to purge the muslims.
If India and Pakistan nuked each other, and the fallout landed on China, would that be a bad thing?

India and China unloading on each other would be more effective. Russia and China unloading on each other would be ideal.

Laura Loomer, a 26-year-old conservative provocateur running for Congress in the Sunshine State, is gaining strength with activists and donors buzzing about the possibility that she is the conservative answer to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“She’s the Republicans’ AOC,” longtime GOP strategist Roger Stone gushed to The Post. “She’s young. She’s energetic. She’s feisty. She’s anti-establishment, and she has an enormous national following, as does AOC, which can help finance a congressional race.”
She reminds me of the Big Titty Goth Girlfriend meme (Safe for Work) There's a whole new genre of thick white girl goth porn nowadays. (Not Safe for Work)
As soon as I opened the link and saw her in her power pose I instantly thought of this video and laughed.
I know what you are probably thinking, "Macbeth, why is the first thing you thought of porn when you saw this lady?" Excellent point. I am bad to women. That's why I created the #MeToo thread. But don't feel bad for this woman. She is pretty stupid.
The conservative AOC can't even order a sandwich with Uber Eats.Prior to June 2017, she worked for Project Veritas with James O'Keefe.[2] Loomer is banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Medium, GoFundMe, Venmo, MGM Resorts, PayPal, Lyft, Uber and Uber Eats.[6] She was also banned from the March 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) after she attempted to confront reporters by chasing them through the conference
Her website linked campaign pictures and all I can think about is how weird her face is.

She probably knows her face is average at best and has an eating disorder.

I assume most "thick" girls (girls between "irredeemably fat" and "fit/skinny") have an eating disorder. I will elaborate more on this another time.
Just found out about and was reading about this recent leaked dossier about senior people in the Labour party essentially trying to throw the 2017 elections. Some wild, legit conspiracy shit.
the most recent election too. it is pretty wild but not too surprising. corbyn sealed himself off with his acolytes/advisors and another faction formed with the trade unions, another with the parliamentary bureaucracy beholden to centrism ... the left is nothing without its factionalism!

So you should never settle down with a girl who is "thick". Because once she gets older, or you put a kid in her, she will become irredeemably fat.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Welp, it's been nice knowing you guys.Washington agriculture authorities are asking residents to be on the lookout for an invasive giant wasp with an "excruciating" sting that attacks honeybee colonies, leaving thousands of bees without heads.
"The Asian giant hornet been called the most venomous, intimidating insect in the world, and it even scares away other hornets," said Timothy Lawrence, director of the Island County extension office at Washington State University.
Asian giant hornets originating in South Korea were first reported last fall near Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Then, residents in Blaine, Wash., near the Canadian border, used an invasive species app to report wasps that were confirmed to be Asian giant hornets from Japan, the state agriculture department said.

If I get stung to death, I'll have it in my will to surreptitiously ship a batch of them to the east coast.
