I know. When I got permabanned after 12 years and a million Karma, I started using a new account, and lasted about 3 months. After that, they tracked me down faster and faster. The last one permabanned me in minutes before I could post my first message. They got my number now, and it's probably gotten even tighter with AI.

Puns, so many puns...

He'll never find me here.

I honestly don't know how anyone stays on Reddit very long. They permaban people for ANYTHING these days. They abdicated their site to psychopathic, power-tripping mods.

Just for context, Ghislane Maxwell was a Reddit mod.

I once got banned in a bunch of subs, including some I wasn't even in, because a mod didn't like a comment I made in a sub that wasn't even theirs. They just didn't like it, so they banned me in all the subs they modded. Fucking weirdos.

He goes first.

This is only the first time I've seen someone call for a draft, but I've known all along that a Draft is coming. Trump and his Wormtongue Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller can't wait to send millions to die, and drafting an entire generation of young potential troublemakers solves a big problem as well.

For context, we lost 58K in Vietnam over about 12 years, and we lost over 4K in Afghanistan. Russia has lost over 1.2 MILLION in 4 years in Ukraine. Trump is going to want to COMPETE will those Russian numbers.

Trump is a profoundly mentally ill human, literally raised by sociopaths to be a sociopath, and he hit it out of the park, blowing right past sociopath, and into Psychopath territory. He will see all those war casualties as people who sacrificed their lives for him. He will brag to his Sociopathic Oligarch buddies around dinner at Maralago about how many have died for him. He will brag how more Americans have died for him, than Russians died for Putin. That's how he will keep score.

I remember when the Soviet Union wouldn't let their people travel outside the country, and I wondered why not. If they want to leave, let them leave. But now I understand. If Trump launches a draft, a LOT of young people are going to want to leave America, and their needed to run up Trump's score. So they won't allow people to travel outside the country anymore, unless they're, y'know, wealthy. Their kids won't be going to war to die for a point on Trump's scoreboard.

More Freedoms to be lost in the name of Freedom. Freedom isn't free, and sometimes you have to surrender your freedom to stay free. There's some MAGA logic for you.

I have a beautiful, intelligent, funny, talented son who is smack in the middle of draft age, and he is all I care about in the world. He is NEVER going to die in a Trump War. If ANYTHING were to happen to him, I would have nothing left to lose, and I would become a very dangerous person.

A Draft is one of those Red Lines that MAGA better not cross, or it's instant Civil War. Suspending Elections, and a Third Term are two others.

MAGA can't have our children.

If you are supportive of the Amerisrael War, then you're a Zionist, no matter what your religion is.

It isn't about religion, no matter what they claim, that's just an excuse. It is about National Sovereignty, and America and Israel don't want to acknowledge Iran's. If you shuffled the religious beliefs of those three countries, we'd still be in the same situation.

Timothy Chalamet and Zendaya in Dune, first come to mind. I remember him mentioning them. They look unmistakenly like 21st century cosplaying American kids. He likes Chalamet, and really liked him in Marty Supreme, where they uglied him up, and made him look like a real person. Zendaya is another issue. She's just a current It Girl, without even much to back it up.

He complains that modern movies are too sanitized, especially when it comes to actors. An entire cast will be impossibly beautiful people. Even villains have to be handsome/beautiful. There are a few active actors with "unconventional" looks, but most are older, like Buscemi. But it doesn't seem like anyone is coming up who are known for a distinctive, but not attractive visual image, and Hollywood doesn't seem even vaguely interested.

Edit: Also Julia Sweeney. How could anybody look at her and think she exists in any other time but now.

And now that they've had this incredible windfall, this is what they'll expect from now on.

That kind of thinking has ruined lots of businesses, like the movie business. Titanic made ridiculous money, so now that's all anyone wants to invest in. Why put your money in a smaller project that will make millions, when you can our the same money in a project that will make billions?

So great small movies never get made, while there are tons of crappy expensive movies instead, because the only real consideration was about the profit, never the art.

My son is a cinephile, and he talks about "iPhone Face" on young actors, where actors in period pieces look like they've seen an iPhone. Once you're aware of it, it's really true. Its really prevalent in crappy Netflix productions and the like.

A little Flying Lead Poisoning?
