    I’m starting to just root for these depraved motherfuckers to burn this fucked up joke of a nation to the ground. At some point, a person can no longer feel invested in the clown show that is the American populace. It’s like those goddamn Pandas that are endangered but just refuse to breed and save their species. Americans have everything at their disposal and they just don’t care. Fuck us, we deserve the consequences for our own stupidity. Just go ahead and give all your money to these rich assholes. Just go ahead and burn your own children in their wars. Enjoy your plastic $100k cars and the untreated cancer your boss man won’t pay to treat. This is your fault, and mine too.

      Unpopular opinion, but some sort of anti-ICBM satellite network would be a fantastic thing for the world… as long as it’s jointly operated by a coalition of nations. It’s a problem when schoolyard bully USA is the only one who can repel a nuclear counterstrike.

    Anything capable of taking down any ICBMs in flight could probably also be used as an offensive weapon.

    Hey, Fermi, is this your filter?
