I agree completely. I could see an argument for one instance that is shown globally via screens or whatnot as each year passes, but other than that it is such an enormous amount of unnecessary wastage.

Similar. Åland is predominantly Swedish-speaking (we're a minority on the mainland), and they have fairly extensive legal autonomy as well.

In practice Åland is also a legally demilitarized zone, though I doubt Russia would give a fuck.

I've had this sinister feeling in the back of my head ever since I saw Extrapolations that it was far more of a documentary of what's to come than even the creators intended.

It's been a year since I watched it the first time, and that feeling has only gotten worse since.

Åland is still a part of Finland, even though they have a certain degree of autonomy.

I sincerely wish you were wrong, but it's easy for anyone living in any relatively developed and safe country and scoff at people risking their lives for amounts of money they'd never be able to earn otherwise.

Doubly so if their family gets a payout if they fall. People might wonder why all these russians seem to willfully subject themselves to this shit, and this is probably the answer more often than not. Likewise with the convicts in Wagner. From their point of view it was probably a decent deal, even if it is complete insanity in our reality.

Nobody's fucking happy about any of this. They killed a person for speaking up about something that affects almost everyone.

I don't always agree with your statements but god damn if you didn't nail this one.

Him being a pretty smart guy overall surely has at least some sort of continuity planned.

"Grok" really says everything that needs to be said about this farce, isn't it?

You want me to be civil towards Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson et. al.?

I say fuck that, and fuck them.

The only media you seem to consume is Fox News and whatever that fat fucks podcast is called. They think they're smart, too, just like you.
