i also love how the argument here is explicitly 'we have to keep investing in the nearly-useless, environment-destroying, brain-melting theftbox because if we dont, quarterly gdp growth will turn negative'
One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

so FUCKING concerned you guys
In case anyone is wondering what kind of campaign Collins intends to run next year, now we know. No achievements, only hate:

Susan Collins backs referendum to overturn Maine’s protections for transgender students

Susan Collins backs referendum to overturn Maine’s protections for transgender students
Collins' office said she signed onto the petition because she agrees with President Donald Trump’s interpretation of Title IX.

my fantasy is that everybody who ever doubted or disagreed with me will be forced to serve me - decent folks without toxic power fantasies
my haters have become my waiters at the table of success. I'm receiving terrible service, they're spitting in everything.

November 24, 2025 at 6:04 PM
apparently were doing mental gymnastics this morning to JUSTIFY DROPPING NUCLEAR BOMBS ON CIVILIANS

jesus christ war dorks are fucking terrifying sometimes
November 24, 2025 at 4:13 PM
because apparently we need to stop the harry truman slander, who was just an innocent ickle baby that got bullied by mean old dougie into using a big scary bomb but hes sowwwyyy
November 24, 2025 at 4:09 PM
they didnt surrender *until they got assurances that hirohito would stay emperor* and washington already knew it

THAT was the thing, not the nukes, not even the soviets, the japanese didnt give a shit because ahem theyd already given up

the nukes were a message to moscow, not tokyo
November 24, 2025 at 4:07 PM
'official policy' doesnt matter in a fascist regime! who cares what 'official policy' was! you had arbitrary decisionmaking being undertaken by selfish lunatics!

hirohito needed to save his own ass - THAT was the calculus at play, and japanese propaganda being all 'uwu big scary bomb' was bullshit
November 24, 2025 at 4:07 PM
so your argument is that truman was gearing up to nuke tokyo but he didnt so he gets a cookie? foh
November 24, 2025 at 4:02 PM
if youre arguing that trumans involvement in hiroshima was analagous to his involvement in each trigger pull on an m1 across his presidency then i dont even know what to say
November 24, 2025 at 4:01 PM
fascist japan looks terrible in all this *precisely because* of how little the japanese gave a shit that two of their cities had just been leveled

the nukes did practically nothing to shorten the us-japan war

it blocked the soviets from conquering asia, which qui bono

certainly not the japanese
November 24, 2025 at 4:00 PM
japanese infighting is beside the point

the soviets were gearing up to invade china by the early summer, and the japanese knew it

truman dropped the bomb to short circuit a russian invasion of japanese holdings on the mainland

the very idea of a 'benevolent' nuking is so bonkers as to be a joke

oh so truman just didnt realize how cartoonishly evil what he was doing was, he did a boo boo, he didnt know how big the bomb was?

come on man
