Imagine MAGA takes over, starts brutalizing civilians, and creates a loyalist paramilitary forcen that loves him. Then imagine someone kills Trump. Then imagine ICE agents shooting people celebrating Trumps death.
Not saying the US is there but it's not that much of s stretch and Christofascism has everything in common with fundamentalist Islam.
No doubt Russia will move if a regional war kicks off, maybe even China. Which is no doubt why the Russian agents are getting so much pushback against attacking Iran.
The timing of the nuclear sabre rattling from the Kremlin is suspicious too.
Total crackpot armchair hypothesis: is this what it would look like if Russia's plan was to escalate the war against Ukraine and Europe, and to do it while the United States is too occupied with other problems?
Raised beds is a great idea. I dug a few oval patches out of my lawn and put stainless steel oval beds in, filled it with a good mix of soil and grew like 100 pounds of zucchini.
If you can handle inside plants, you can definitely do lots of hardy outdoor plants.
Iran gets it now. They don't need to make concessions, Trump is a coward bully that will back down when push comes to shove.
All the evidence you need is the talk about how Trump is "confused" or "frustrated" at Iran's lack of capitulation.
He is the final human form of capitalism.....leverage your power to squeeze what you want out of other people. And when it gets difficult, run away to the next weakest thing to pick on.
I worked with a Pakistani man many years ago who literally said "it's not gay if you're the one giving" and to this day I'm not sure I've heard anything gayer.
Love is love just so we're clear. I just shake my head at how badly some cultural beliefs can twist reality.
If you're starting from "I've never grown a thing", try to find a secondhand Aerogarden or other small hydroponic (plants grow in water not soil) system that takes care of most of it. Grow some herbs, basil works excellently.
It's a lifelong process.....start with small, functional things like an herb garden. Make tons of mistakes and kill tons of plants, most people do. But eventually, you'll have a green thumb and will understand the thrill of producing your own things instead of relying on capitalism for everything.
Highly highly recommend a bread machine, a good bread knife and a small scale, for the same reasons (weighing your bread ingredients will reduce the frustration of inconsistency in bread).
Growing your own food and cooking are two revolutionary acts in a hyper capitalist world.
This is just "here's how the boomers' portfolios are doing, and also those pension plans that are totally going to be there when you retire, for reals."
Think about it this way.
Imagine MAGA takes over, starts brutalizing civilians, and creates a loyalist paramilitary forcen that loves him. Then imagine someone kills Trump. Then imagine ICE agents shooting people celebrating Trumps death.
