  • What do you expect to happen?

    Probably nothing and he dies a sadly comfortable life.

    I participate in protests and boycotts, I donate as much as I can to organizations I believe in. I talk to my friends about trying to organize more and I constantly talk to them about a general strike and a need to shut the system down as it is. My career actively helps against waste and climate change. You’ll probably say that’s the bare minimum and maybe it is but I have a family to take care of so I can’t be out there like Greta Thunberg. It’s not that I don’t think violence can change things but I’m a nonviolent person.

    I understand that my comments on a niche social media website will do nothing to change anything.

    My apologies if that’s not enough for you random stranger.


  • Yes they’re out and there’s some terrible shit about him in there but he doesn’t want anyone asking him questions about it. You should know since it sounds like you’ve had enough time to read over 30,000 pages.

    Do I think being best buddies with a known peodphile and sex trafficker is the worst thing he’s done, probably not but he absolutely doesn’t want to talk about it because he has no good answers.

    It’s all part of his flood the zone tactics to control the narrative of anything. So, he’ll continue to violently kill and imprison people, and put his name on stupid shit, and kill the planet with coal, and tear down the norms of this country. Anything to provide distractions that his base can focus on and to avoid any questions or prosecution.










  • . It largely depends on how they are investing in it. Gold is a commodity just like lumber, gas, cotton, or livestock. You can invest in them like you would a stock or a mutual fund. Just like those other investments, the price will change daily based on the market. Gold is a weird one because everyone knows it was valuable historically and many people have physical versions of it. People use gold in their investment portfolios to hedge against some of their risk because typically the value of gold would go up when stocks would go down but our money was also tied to gold 50+years ago. The physical versions will change price too but they change differently.

    • Gold coins? Unless they’re old or rare, they’re only worth the face value.
    • Gold jewelry? It has value if it’s solid and not plated and then you need to get it appraised to know a fair value.
    • Bullion? Probably the best form to have it in because that’s what countries and people that want to transfer physical gold will use.

    In the event of total societal collapse, gold won’t matter other than it’s a shiny metal. They are better off investing in something more useful like the lumber.


  • This is my simple history as some who never lived there but has a degree in history.

    In the 1800s, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho were part of the Oregon territory. In the middle of that century, white settlers began to move in and they hated slavery and didn’t want it but they hated free black people even more than slaves. They eventually passed a few laws that banned “negroes” and “mullatos”. The area also had a large influx of religious fundamentalist and separatists in its early history.Those laws were eventually repealed but created the majority white population of that area.

    The early/mid 20th century saw other issues like the KKK but those were minor compared to what comes later. Cut to the 1970s and the Aryan Nations and other white nationalist groups began to move there. Those groups grew and encouraged more like minded racists to move there in hopes of setting up a whites only homeland.





  • I don’t know if you can get it in Australia but I like Spindrift seltzer/sparkling water when I want a beer substitute. Obviously it doesn’t taste like beer. I was someone who hated seltzer for a long time, none of it tasted right and too fruity but also somehow not enough since its just sparkling water. Someone recommended Spindrift since they use real fruit so it has some real flavor but it’s still low in calories. I’m partial to the grapefruit flavor because it’s the most tart/crisp.
