Military technology drives political structure.

This is my novelty take, which is mine.

As theological chaos escalated in the wake of the Reformation it dawned on the hair splitters that if these disagreements mattered to God then most nominal Christians were now burning in Hell.

Rather than back off on their pilpul they did one of two things, boldly proclaimed, 'Yes, most burn in Hell and they got what they fucking deserved!' or... stopped believing in Hell.

This is the risk of going hardcore. People can snap entirely.
If their bluff is called and you're not fired immediately if it's a big corporation you're likely to survive for years. Companies have lost lawsuits for exploiting salaried employees at what amounts to sub-minimum wage. Of course those were usually fast food joints whose management salaries are negligible, so they make you come in for 50-60 hours a week you're essentially skirting the minimum wage law.
I've had two previous managers back when I was a salary-man give me that quick duper's delight smirk when we were discussing hours and work accomplished for the company in general.

In both cases it was clear they intended me to work on company time some low level scut work and the work I was actually hired to do, what I had been told I would be doing and was in the job description, would be on my free time.

They actually thought they would get two employee's work out of a single salary.

Yeah, fuck that.

I don't know who still needs to hear this but everything Moldbug (Curtis Yarvin) says is intended to weaken you.
If Elon agrees with even half what this guy said he's more ourguy than I thought.
@StarProphet So lazy. If you watch Argo the John Goodman character is based on a famous makeup artist who did Planet of the Apes and did contract work for the CIA. Naturally all special effects makeup guys denied for decades that they did such work, but during peak 'war on terror' they wanted to gin up morale with inspiring tales of duping the dumb muzzies with good old American knowhow so they went... mask off.

In any event, Chambers would have painted the appliance convincingly enough to pass in HD.

The US and Iran should both agree that both nations will charge a fee to transit the Straight of Hormuz.

Toddler saw this meme on my phone a few weeks ago and now every so often before bed, she'll ask for "blue waffles" for breakfast :lamo: tonight son heard and laughed and said I'd have to squeeze a lot of blueberries 🫐 @tyler
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @PraxisOfEvil Whites and Asians can coexist peacefully, simply put. We can benefit each other without undue friction because we both have advanced intellects and value systems at the blopd level. They're generally good friends and neighbors and coworkers and my appreciation for those simple plusses increases when I compare them to nigs and heebs and face tattooed Honduran murder monkeys.
