I highly doubt most local libraries carry a copy of Settlers. Where are you seeing this?

You gotta love that old bait-and-switch. Whose fault is the corruption again?
“We’re giving the president and his cronies more discretion and shielding them from the consequences of their actions to fight the deep state.” I would’ve thought if anything qualified as “the deep state,” it would look exactly like this.
MBTI is fine as far as personality systems go, but the reason I bounced off of it was that it eventually became clear there’s zero method to objectively distinguish one type from another. Every single person who gets typed and classified by this system is categorized by vibes, and that’s pretty much it.
All I know about Carl Jung is that he features in every piece of pop-psych “connect with the energy” nonsense published or printed in the past several decades. The instant I hear his name in any conversation or read it in any article, my eyes start to glaze over.
Can I travel back in time and stop you?
Not allowed to use Russian, though. Strange…
US Cannot Will Not Control Israel
I cannot wait to see libs try to say with a straight face that Biden is still better than Trump after this.
Once again, I’m the idiot for thinking crackers couldn’t sink any lower.
Putin “injects potential threats” into east Asia, a “region already strained by Taiwan tensions and South China Sea clashes.” Putin and Russia are cast as actively menacing the globe while all these other issues caused by the USA/NATO get to just passively exist with no discussion as to where they came from or what caused them.
I have a feeling this is going to be a bit like Vietnam, with more colonial soldiers offing themselves after the war than killed during it.
“Guys sorry about trying to disenfranchise you from your native land but please stop blocking the roads it makes it harder for the stormtroopers to crush your protest.”
Bandera got sprayed in the face with acid, this is some other thing.
“The Biden administration will allow a Ukrainian military unit with a checkered past to use U.S. weaponry, the State Department said Monday, having lifted a ban imposed years ago amid concerns in Washington about the group’s origins.”
What checkered past? What concerns about what origins? Do be more specific, Jeffery.
Also, too little too late. Who’s going to get these weapons? I know the plan now is to create a neonazi terror cell in Ukraine, but it’s sure as hell not going to turn the tide.

How did I get secondhand embarrassment reading this?
“Middle-Class” is rapidly becoming a misnomer.
“The 36-year-old allegedly took custom orders for rare Pokémon, and sold the resulting tampered data between December 2022 to March 2023, for up to 13,000 yen ($84) a time on a website that served as a marketplace for video game assets and items. He also offered deals in which six Pokémon would be created for the equivalent of roughly $30 in yen.”
How, with GameShark?
You might want to consider World-Systems Theory as a good starting point. Workers in the imperial core do not experience the same kind of exploitation as people in the periphery. The USA is a high-income country.
And nothing lasts forever. Nothing is necessarily so. We are in the midst of a massive global paradigm shift. Multipolarity is on the rise. Things are changing everywhere fast.
Settlers by J Sakai is a brilliant expose of American settler-colonial culture and vital history book that attempts to answer this question, but if you decide to give it a read, I would advise you not to draw too many hard and fast conclusions about its contents. Discussions about this book get explosive because they touch on very sensitive racial tensions, and a lot of people get very ridiculous about the whole thing.
