In a roundabout way, we’re all complicit in these wars, the killing and maiming of innocents. Over 100,000 American casualties since 9/11, $6 trillion in purse snatched from the coffers and placed directly into the hands of people of ill repute. There is nothing you can do about it, frankly, and I doubt you’d want to do anything about it — unless it’s your son being buried or your portfolio getting smashed to pieces.
Civil unrest doesn’t occur lest there is something truly upsetting to the average Joe, at home slobbering over teevee dinners. In our age, perhaps this could happen if iPhone supplies dwindled or video games went off-line and all of the incels had to furnish their faces in the sun to face the real world and think about raising a family? The childrenfication of men has successfully turned an entire generation into self-entitled memers who do nothing but larp all day online and deprive themselves of discipline, indulgent in the things that are harmful to them.
In 2020, “The Fly” has decided that a temperance movement is most appropriate. Today I was very stressed, very upset, and I was cooking with wine. I was tempted to take a glass and down it — but withheld such wild eyed desires in exchange for abstinence. I shall not partake in the consumption of alcohol, not even a lick.
Same with caloric intake. After a year of neglect, I found myself to be skinny-fat, out of shape, unable to bench press an appropriate amount to kill a man. Thusly, I have enlisted myself into a cutting regimen whereby I starve myself daily in exchange for health. By my exact calculations, this diet will continue until I am 10% body fat, or 4 months.
Also, in my new house, I failed to place a teevee in the living room on purpose. Gone are the days of idle amusement and consumption of nonsense. In its stead is my vast library of books, which I read 2-3 hours per day. This austere movement is of course designed to improve myself, both physically and spiritually. I was unhappy in my former existence, so I am trying something entirely new.
On the issue of markets, Nasdaq futures are down 30, which is nothing to worry about. WTI is up a bit too, which is expected. There has been a lot of rhetoric out of Washington and Tehran this weekend, and I happen to believe we have reason for concern. Alas, the facts are bald faced and without censorship: wars drive America and American power drives returns. Sad, but true. Nothing to fear, unless it gets out of hand.

“There is nothing you can do about it”
Perhaps. But at the very least, each individual should learn enough so that they do not wave the fucking flag in support of the very same war criminals who lied us into Iraq, lied to keep us in Afghanistan, supported ISIS in Syria, killed hundreds of thousands in our name, and pissed away 6 or 7 $trillion. All while making us less secure. IMHO.
Pack up and leave. Move to a Muslim country, let us know how that goes.
You do realize that Muslim refugees are only here because of policy you endorsed? Yea, liberals welcome them, but you created them.
I welcome them asshat. As long as they follow our laws and assimilate into our culture. Fuck their sharia law.
Since the Afghan-Iraq conflict started 142,500 black men, women and children have been killed by black men.
Post a fucking blog on that subject or you can do like the Democrat-Communist Party and stick your head in the sand and ignore it.
TL;DR: fear of terroism affects the stock market, black-on-black criem doesn’t
Surburbanites drive the stock market. It is vastly overpriced, but they are happy, and confidant, so Bull. Black-on-black crime doesn’t concern them much, whether it is in Baltimore or the Sudan.
Now if there is a mass shooting in the surburbs, that is a different matter. Also, why do you think opiod addiction is getting so much attention and drug additction is now viewed as a ailment nstead of a failure in cpersonal haracter: because it is happenign in the surburbs?
Any flareup in the Middle East now makes surbanites think about terroirsm – which it should. Do you think the chance of a major foreign-sourced terroism attack in the US is greater or smaller now that we assasinated a foreign Muslim leader? At least Russia is still smart abot thing and understands that assasinations on foreign soil need to have plausible deniablity behind them. Trump is too impulsive and emotional.
This fear cand lead to cascadign bearish effects.
PS I am not implying that surburbanites (ie, white middle-calss) are bad people: most people have trouble empathizing unless events are happening to peopel like themselves.
Why would I do a blog about black on black crime?

Doubtful.
What kind of person (a) insists that they had an ET contact but also (b) insists that anybody else who says that they had an ET contact is a liar?
