Nah, Poland doesn't have the motive, or capability. But you know who does? The Americans.

If Poland had a motive it would reopen the pipeline that crosses its territory. And the capability? Please. All they have the capability to do is incompetently maintain their airplanes so one crashes with the prime minister and most of the government in it.

Poles? LOL no. They don't have the capability, or the motive.

The motive was to remove the ability of the Germans to ask Russia to turn the gas back on when they're freezing in the dark in another month or two. We all know that Nordstream 2 was finished, right? And the only reason it's not operating is because Germany demanded it be turned off. In a moment of weakness, Germany might well bend the knee to Russia and ask pretty please to turn the gas back on. The CIA must never allow this. Thus, the mysterious pipeline explosion that obviously Russia did, despite the fact that Russia has zero incentive to destroy billions of dollars of infrastructure and would like very much to turn the pipe on and start selling gas to Germany.

Always ask: who benefits?

Ah, there's the AA voice coming through. Yes, it's a dangerous addictive drug just like heroin!

Do you know the oldest written work that survived the tests of time? It's the Epic of Gilgamesh. Do you know what the gods gave Gilgamesh when he found out he was mortal and doomed to die? Beer. But go ahead and tell us it's a dangerous drug just like meth or oxy.

The AA Principles and Virtues

Honesty

Step 1. We admitted that we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable.

Hope

Step 2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Faith

Step 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him.

The rest of the 12 steps are just as awful and you're welcome to search them yourselves. Content warning, though. You won't like what you find, it's all this kind of stuff.

Does alcohol rob you of your free will? No. Especially when you get drunk off of three bottles of wine cooler (like I used to).

Go figure, most people who drink don't become hopeless alcoholics, as much as that Christian organization AA would like you to think so.

That's what they told me when I took a job in a restaurant - I wasn't suited to it because I wouldn't take the customers shit, but the immigrants would. Evidently this was a big deal.

I lasted a few weeks before quitting.

It's because drugs rob you of your free will. Instead of doing what you want and what's best for you, you will instead (involuntarily) choose to keep doing the drug. That's the hazard of living in a "MUH FREEDUMBS" society like America that values individualism over collectivism.

I only understand the connecting words in this headline, such as "the", "are", "too" and suchlike. The rest are a Bidenesque word salad.

Call it the "administrative state" if you want to avoid the stench of chud words.

Or "the Blob", that's what Obama's people called it. Either way, it's people who are insulated from all consequences of their actions, doing whatever the fuck they want and feeling great about it.

I wonder how that got past the filter. I thought the word "simp" was banned.

Well duh. They have to have make-work, though! Otherwise the future would be poverty and unemployment for these people.

And yet these very same people are vehemently against make-work for the lower classes. They must do something useful! We need our back rubs, our dicks sucked, our code written! They can't just take our money without being productive! That's a crime against neoliberalism.

Biden is clearly demented and not in charge. He regularly says one thing and is contradicted by officials that the mainstream media declines to name. I doubt even these officials were consulted on this terrorist attack. This has CIA written all over it.

Low alcohol tolerance is great...you can get loaded and save money

The problem is mixing politics and socialization. The two should be separate. They're not, which is how you end up with abortions like "DSA Pickup Artists Caucus". Voluntary celibacy is the answer.

People spend an awful lot of time railing against the state (remember the #resist movement?) only to turn and start proudly stanning for the state as soon as it does what they want. It sure does look inconsistent from the outside. If you're an anti-authoritarian, you're an anti-authoritarian. Anti-fascists don't suddenly turn their coats when the fascists nationalize all industries and put a roof over every worker's head.
