I can’t do that without negative consequences

I can’t do that unless I have support for it

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.

Here’s her latest post about it.

Just as I was writing that transcript she posted this—

[Transcript: So I was told and informed that it’s probably in my best interest to tell all of you where you can find me in the event that I get deleted because having a platform is probably the only thing that will keep… everything okay, if you will. So I will provide the links and ads to my TikTok, my Substack, my Bluesky, the like. You’ll be able to find me there in the event… y’know. Y’know.]

Vietnam War (1955-1975): An estimated 2 to 3 million Vietnamese, mostly civilians, were killed.

Korean War (1950-1953): Approximately 2.5 million Korean civilians were killed (in both North and South Korea), and most North Korean cities were completely destroyed.

Philippine-American War (1899-1902): More than 200,000 Filipino civilians were killed; some estimates put the number at one million due to famine and war-related diseases.

In addition to Hiroshima and Nagasaki: The death toll is estimated at around 140,000. Of these, approximately 70,000 to 80,000 died instantly in the first moments of the explosion due to the immense heat and pressure.

Bombing Tokyo: Operation Meetinghouse: In a single night (March 9-10, 1945), American incendiary raids killed approximately 100,000 Japanese civilians and turned Tokyo into an inferno—a number exceeding the direct casualties of the atomic bomb hiroshima.

Invasion of Iraq (2003): The invasion and the ensuing chaos and civil war led to the killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, with estimates ranging from 200,000 to more than one million according to different studies.

Israel's war on Gaza, supported and funded by America: More than 70,000 Gazans, mostly children and women, have fallen victim to this brutal aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, with over 150,000 wounded and injured, and approximately 15,000 missing under the rubble. All of this is due to systematic bombing, starvation, and destruction.

there isn’t a single case in history where the US actually saved a country from anything, what they did leave behind, consistently, were stolen resources, exploited land, and futures permanently scarred by military dictatorships.

what the US does in the middle east is widely known, what many people still don’t fully grasp is what they’ve done and continue to do in latin america.

they funded, trained, and supported military dictatorships across most of the region, and they infiltrated our cultures in a calculated, orchestrated way that still shapes us today.
