December 12, 2025 - The United Nations voted to declare December 14 2025 the first International Day against Colonialism in All Its Forms and Manifestations.
The proposal was adopted by a recorded vote of 116 in favour to 2 against (Israel, United States) with 54 abstentions (mostly current or former European colonial powers and their closest allies). [link]/[link]
Ieri Meloni aveva una spanna di lingua nel culo di Trump e tutti ammiravano le sue politiche contro negri, musulmani, froci, arabi, immigrati, comunisti...
Oggi Trump è un pazzo.
I media di destra fanno una capriola carpiata con doppio avvitamento e triplo Axel...
L'elettore di destra: Sarò mica un coglione?
Ma no, figurati... noi italiani, bianchi, cristiani (?), etero, che amano la vera mascolinità siamo stati traditi dai poteri forti.
Se solo ci fossero i VERI FASCISTI™ al governo e avessero i pieni poteri oggi potremmo avere 1000 euro con un click.
Proviamo con Wannacci che odia negri, musulmani, froci, arabi, immigrati, comunisti...
Meanwhile pressione fiscale ai livelli più alti da 11 anni.
Eh capisco che sia dura darsi dei minchioni dopo decenni in cui ci si è fatti convincere ad andare sempre più a destra e a essere sempre più minchioni e orgogliosi di esserlo, complice la mancanza di un'alternativa credibile... ma sono cose che si pagano care alla fine.
The new call of duty game planned to portray DPRK as the aggressor is already orientalist vilification in itself but it is even more disgusting considering that in real life just in recent times the regime of the South was the one trying to provoke military attacks while DPRK didn't take the bait and did not react aggressively
In late 2024, former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol secretly ordered military drone flights over Pyongyang to drop anti-DPRK propaganda leaflets, deliberately attempting to provoke a military retaliation. He intended to use the manufactured crisis as a fake national security emergency to justify declaring martial law and crushing his domestic political opponents. However, DPRK refused to take the bait, opting for border fortification instead of an armed strike, and analysing the drones, which helped expose the coup as a domestic power grab and resulted in Yoon being sentenced to 30 years in prison for trying to fabricate a war.
The new cod game shows DPRK, which according to the game of course collaborated with Russia, the franchises classic beloved Oriental Villian, to invade the South and terrorise South Korea just for the sake of expansionism. Every accusation, a confession
La pagina che vedrete nella terza immagine che ho postato qui è quella che uscirà domani mattina su Libero.
"Trump è un coglione!": si avete letto bene.
Ieri era invece "tornato l'amore tra Giorgia Meloni e Donald Trump".
In mezzo l'intervista a LA7 del presidente americano che, come tutti sanno, ha detto che la nostra Presidente del Consiglio lo implorava di fare una foto con lui, e le aveva fatto bene.
Il vecchio pazzo americano ha poi rincarato le dose definendola "una fan" che ormai le dava fastidio.
La cosa più divertente non è nemmeno Trump.
La cosa più divertente è la velocità con cui certa stampa passa da:
"Giorgia-Donald, di nuovo amore"
a
"Trump è un coglione"
nel tempo necessario a un tycoon per aprire bocca.
Fino a ieri sembrava una commedia romantica geopolitica.
Trump era il genio incompreso.
Il leader forte.
L'uomo della pace. Il punto di riferimento dell'Occidente.
Quello che avrebbe salvato il mondo, l'Europa, l'economia, i panda e probabilmente anche il Festival di Sanremo.
Un uomo che la stessa Meloni diceva meritasse "il Nobel per la pace"
(Si, un po' ridicola la nostra premier è stata, diciamolo)
Poi Trump racconta che la premier italiana avrebbe insistito per una foto e che gli faceva pena.
E improvvisamente il genio diventa un coglione.
Una trasformazione degna della fisica quantistica.
Non serve neppure attendere nuove informazioni.
Non servono inchieste.
Non servono approfondimenti.
Basta che il leader adorato osi sfiorare la divinità domestica e la mutazione è istantanea.
La vera notizia non è Trump.
Trump fa Trump.
La vera notizia è vedere un giornale passare in poche ore da:
❤️ "Giorgia-Donald, di nuovo amore"
a
💔 "Trump è un coglione"
come un concorrente di Temptation Island che scopre il video del falò finale.
Altro che linea editoriale.
Qui siamo direttamente alla gestione sentimentale della politica.
Sembra il gioco delle coppie modalità disagio edition.
E forse la copertina più sincera sarebbe stata:
"TRUMP È UN COGLIONE (FINCHÉ PARLA DEGLI ALTRI)"
Sottotitolo:
"Aggiornamento disponibile. Attendere nuove dichiarazioni."
Speriamo che la prossima volta smetteremo di essere dei così ridicoli leccaculo.
Ne gioverebbe la nostra dignità e si potrebbe parlare di un nostro politico che agisca "a testa alta"
Allora la distanza che vi separa da quelli che aspettano 1000 euro con un click non è poi tanta.
Quest'anno abbiamo raggiunto la pressione fiscale più alta degli ultimi 11 anni, le accise sono li, la Fornero pure, gli immigrati anche, la crescita delle retribuzioni insieme alla crescita del PIL rimangono tra i più bassi d'europa...
Ah ma tutto questo verrà risolto aumentando il livello di fascismo con Wannacci... già...
I’m on tour with my new book, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI. Catch me in LA TONIGHT (Jun 19) at Skylight Books, and on SUNDAY (Jun 21) at Kepler’s in Menlo Park. After that, it’s Toronto, NYC, Philly and Chicago.
Partway through Bridget Read's unmissable chronicle of pyramid ("multi-level marketing") schemes, Little Bosses Everywhere, there comes a dual revelation: no one is selling any product to end-users and no one knows it:
That is to say, all the hustlers who have spent thousands of dollars on Mary Kay, Herbalife and Amway have failed to move any of their product (beyond a statistically insignificant number of sales to friends and family who quickly tire of being hustled and stop buying this substandard, overpriced junk). But none of these "entrepreneurs" knows it, or admits it to anyone – not their "downlines" (friends they've lured into the swindle), nor their "uplines" (friends who recruited them into the con).
Each pyramid scheme victim thinks that they're the only failure in the whole bunch. They go to massive "sales conferences" where people boast about all the sales they're making, and they're all lying about it. Incredibly, the pyramid schemers who run these criminal enterprises have figured out how to make a virtue out of this situation: they offer "sales coaching" courses to help people make the sales that "everyone else is making." In other words, once you've gone bust failing to sell Amway, they'll get you to go further into debt to learn how to correct the (nonexistent) issues with your sales strategy so that you can join the (imaginary) legion of people who sell Amway by the bushel.
Con artists have a name for this kind of swindle: it's called a "big con," which is when everyone a mark comes into contact with is in on the scam. Here's how the big con worked: after a "roper" snared a victim (usually on an intercity train), they would telegraph ahead and let the home team know they had a live one. From that point forward, every single person the victim came into contact with was in on it – from the porter who collected his bags at the train station to the cab driver to the Western Union clerk he uses to cable his banker and ask for a cashier's check for his life's savings.
In the big con, dozens of skilled actors are putting on a play for an audience of one: you. It's a real-world, non-hallucinatory version of "gang stalking delusion," which is when someone going through a mental health crisis believes that everyone they meet is in on a conspiracy to drive them crazy:
The situation that people suffering from GSD hallucinate is actually happening to people ensnared in a big con…and pyramid schemes are a big con. What's more – as Read's book makes clear – you can't understand modern American politics without understanding pyramid schemes.
One of the most destructive pyramid schemes in American history is Amway. The FTC was about to shut Amway down in the mid-1970s, but then Nixon resigned and Ford became president. Ford had been the Congressman to Amway's founders Jay Van Andel (then the head of the US Chamber of Commerce, which is to say, America's most powerful business lobbyist) and Dick DeVos (yes, that DeVos). Ford and the Amway swindlers were thick as thieves, and so Ford called off the FTC. Rather than going to jail, DeVos and Van Andel became morbidly wealthy, and they used some of their stolen money to found and fund the Heritage Foundation (yes, that Heritage Foundation).
The political class running America are pyramid scheme swindlers, funded by pyramid scheme money. They're running a big con on all of us. That's true of the Trumps, who've excreted a diarrhoeic slurry of shitcoins that have made them billions – and lost billions for their "investors":
https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-106/
Trump insists that he is a self-made man who made his money with successful real estate deals. In reality, he lied all the time about his real estate, committing a string of felonies in order to defraud the banks, even as he went bankrupt, time and again:
Another "self made man" is Elon Musk (who is a "trillionaire," in a highly technical sense meaning "not a trillionaire at all"). Musk would have been broke several times over but for a string of massive government bailouts and subsidies, which continue to this day:
Trump, Musk, and the rest of the schemers in the pyramid routinely claim that they are wealthy because they are running good businesses, a "fact" that many of us accept at face value. It's bad enough that we are deceived about reality, but many of their most addled cult-members try to follow in their footsteps. When they fail, they are in the same situation as one of those busted Amway sellers: thinking they are the only ones who can't make this "sure thing" work. Conservativism is a movement of bitter rubes, led by pyramid scheme swindlers:
The "wait, is everyone else also failing?" awakening is an experience that many of America's CEOs are sharing at this moment, as they wonder whether they are the only ones who've fired as many workers as possible and replaced them with AI, only to see their company's fortunes fall:
Like an Amway victim, these boardroom rubes simply can't believe that all these people could be in on the con. How could the world spend trillions on AI if it's not on a path to profitability? It's not that these guys spent 2008 in a cave – rather, they just lack the object permanence to remember the last time a "Federal Wallet Inspector" approached them at a board meeting and took them for everything:
The thesis that "it can't be nonsense if there's a lot of money at stake" is the core of so many of these swindles. It's the investment theory that holds that once a pile of shit gets big enough, there must be a pony under it somewhere.
There's a Bugs Bunny bit that I find myself returning to in this era of the big con: it's a gag from 1954's "Bugs and Thugs":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_and_Thugs
Bugs has been kidnapped by gangsters, who have come to trust him. He tricks them into thinking that the police are coming and he urges them to hide in the oven while he sends the cops away. Then, Bugs performs a one-rabbit show in which he plays both the cop (with a broad Irish accent) and himself:
Bugs (cop voice): All right, open up! This is the police! [banging] All right, where's Rocky, where's he hiding?
Bugs (normal voice): He's not in this stove.
Bugs (cop): Oh-ho, he's hidin' in that stove, eh?
Bugs (normal): Now look, would I turn on this gas if my friend Rocky was in there?
Bugs (cop): You might, rabbit, you might.
Bugs (normal) Would I throw a lighted match in there if my friend was in there? [Massive explosion]
Bugs (cop): Well, all right, rabbit, you've convinced me. I'll look for Rocky in the city.

We keep living through real world versions of this:
"Would I, Mark Zuckerberg, change my company's name to 'Meta' if I wasn't serious about this?"
"Oh, you might, Zuck, you might."
"OK, but would I spend $61b on the metaverse if I wasn't serious about this?"
"All right, Zuck, you've convinced me. I won't sell my Facebook (oops, I mean 'Meta'!) shares."
But neither Zuck nor Musk nor Trump has the charm of Bugs Bunny. At a certain point we're all going to look at each other and say, "It was all bullshit, wasn't it?"
