Was initially surprised to see Mobutism of all things on that odious, cutesy ‘the third position is for everyone!’ 4chan flag guy meme, but actually reading about Mobutu's regime it sounds like – while on one hand just one of the many neocolonial, kleptocratic military dictatorships that abounded during the Cold War – serious attempts were made toward building totalitarian institutions and an elaborate civic religion centered around ‘national revolution’ and preserving the authenticité of a mythicized African past in a modern, centralized order. I can see why fascists might like him and put him up there with Integralism and Ba'athism

Dear pot,
Ang dami kong naiisip, gulonh gulo, so lost. Ilang araw ko na iniisip din na para bang may nakalimutan ako na hindi ko maalala kung ano. Wala pa rin eh. Kahapon, sinusubukan kong alalahanin pano pakiramdam nang nakayakap ako sayo, yung aakap ako sayo dahil nagising ako at lalanghapin ko yung amoy ng balat mobut something inside me.. this thing.. that everytime i get close to remembering para akong pinipitik paalis.. parang barrier.. para bang forbidden.. di ko ma explain yung feeling pero mabigat. Anyway.. I can no longer talk to you pero nagsusulat pa rin ako na naka address sayo kahit nga sa email mo, nag bobounceyung mails ko kasi hindi na active.. late nights.. long days.. what couldve beens..
Meron akong nabasa or narinig.. sorry hindi ko na mapagkatiwalaan memory ko kasi buhat nang gabing yon hindi ko na maalala.. siguro ito yung coping mechanism ng utak ko para mag survive. Sakit. Ito pinakamasakit sa lahat ng masakit na nagawa mo. Wala ka man lang maayos na pangakong tinupad. Lagi mo ako iniiwan. Laging ako yung naiiwanan.. yung second rate.. yung napagpapalit.. lagi akong pangalawa.. after thought. I wonder what it is about me that people can make it seem like they need me but when something that’s more comes hindi man lang kayo mag hesitate.. like i said.. parang basahan na ginamit itatapon.. isasantabi tapos kapag naalala mong andyan pa rin dahil kelangan mong punasan yung dumi na nakuha mo pupulutin mo. Bakit? Alam mo ba sa sobrang sama ng loob ko hinihiling ko na sana mamatay na lahat ng pamilya mo.. alam mo hindi ako ganito. Lagi kita pinapaalalahanan na wag i wish yung ganitong bagay pero sobrang masakit eh. Will i ever be able to let it go?
Sabi nila.. i let go na daw kita para makapag pahinga ka na.. yung gift mong necklace na nawawala.. imagine.. pati perang pang start ng business nanakawin. Imagine going through this awful things alone.. gago. What if ako yung namatay? Namatay.. hindi nagpakamatay.. kasi hindi kita kayang ilagay sa sitwasyon na ganitong pinaglagyan mo sa akin.. I wonder why it hurts so much.. you know it’s not romantic to kill yourself.. sana sinubukan mo lang naman magpagamot when I asked you to. Instead of getting mad at me and asking me why im forcing you to. All you have to do is live. Even without me. Like you did. You just had to carry on living.. palitan mo ako like you did. So why now? I wasnt even your first love.. ako lang yung nandyan nasa tabi mo.. maybe if she wasnt an absent mother.. maybe if they.. alam mo.. no point cause youre never comig back..
I wanted to do life with you.. pero you weren’t willing because you hold their words and decisions more valuable.. sabi mo paglalaban mo ako.. pero hindi.. hindi mo kaya.. i can always love you from afar. I can love you even if youre with someone else.. i never stopped.. kaya ko pot magparaya.. pero hindi yung ganito.. i’d rather you be happy with someone else alive than dead like this. Pero you know, if one of those good dreams did came true— the one where i was giving you a back hug sa terrace tapos grey na buhok mo I want that.. i’d choose that. Sabi ko pa na life can be scary and a lot of sad things can happen but atleast youre with me. At least you will be there. Then it will be a bit more bearable and less scary. But now I will have to do this alone.

Imagine the mania on the airwaves if Donald Trump were to have his Justice Department arrest the “whistleblower” and charge him with 35 years of offenses, as Thomas Drake faced. Trump incidentally still might try something like this. It’s what any autocrat of the Mobute Sese Seko/Enver Hoxha school would do, for starters, to mutinying intelligence officials within his own government.
Trump almost certainly is not going to do that, however, as the man is too dumb to realize he’s the titular commander of an executive branch that has been jailing people for talking too much for over a decade. On the off chance that he does try it, don’t hold your breath waiting for news networks to tell you he’s just following an established pattern.
I have a lot of qualms about impeachment/“Ukrainegate,” beginning with this headline premise of the lone, conscience-stricken defender of democracy arrayed against the mighty Trump. I don’t see it. Donald Trump is a jackass who got elected basically by accident, campaigning against a political establishment too blind to its own unpopularity to see what was coming.
In 2016 we saw a pair of electoral revolts, one on the right and one on the left, against the cratering popularity of our political elite. The rightist populist revolt succeeded, the Sanders movement did not. Ukrainegate to me looks like a continuation of Russiagate, which was a reaction of that defeated political elite to the rightists. I don’t feel solidarity with either group.
The argument that’s supposed to be galvanizing everyone right now is the idea that we need to “stand up and be counted,” because failing to rally to the cause is effectively advocacy for Trump. This line of thinking is based on the presumption that Trump is clearly worse than the people opposing him.
That might prove to be true, but if we’re talking about the treatment of whistleblowers, Trump has a long way to go before he approaches the brutal record of the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, as well as the cheerleading Washington political establishment. Forgetting this is likely just the first in what will prove to be many deceptions about a hardcore insider political battle whose subtext is a lot more shadowy and ambiguous than news audiences are being led to believe.

England 0-0 Germany LIVE! Euros match stream, latest score and goal updates today
Two old rivals collide at Wembley Stadium this evening with a place in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals at stake.
England head into Tuesday’s contest having topped Group D without conceding once thanks t สล็อต2021 o narrow wins over the Czech Republic and Croatia and a goalless draw with Scotland, but Gareth Southgate’s side have yet to demonstrate anything like their full potential at this tournament.
Germany, meanwhile, came perilously close to failing to reach the knockout stages for a second major competition running, only for Leon Goretzka’s crucial late goal against Hungary to eventually seal runners-up spot between France and Portugal in Group F - AKA the ‘Group of Death’.
ADVERTISING เกม สล็อต
This is perhaps not a vintage German side, but they still have more than enough quality to contend for a fourth European Championship triumph.
READ MOBut whether they still boast the psychological edge is very much in question, with this young England squad seemingly not affected by the failures of Three Lions sides o youlikebet f old in this fixture, such as at Italia 90, Euro 96 and the 2010 World Cup.
For the winner of his mammoth showdown, a last-eight tie against either Sweden or Ukraine awaits on Saturday night in Rome.

Elena Panina compared Ukraine with African dictatorship
Ukraine is increasingly reminiscent of the African Zaire of the 1970s, Elena Panina, a member of the State Duma’s international affairs committee, told RIA Novosti.
So she commented on the words of the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba, who called the “Russian world” monotonous and said that Russia would not be able to introduce it in Ukraine by soft power.
According to Panina, it is significant that the Ukrainian official made this statement after the closure of opposition television channels and against the background of the destruction of education in Russian, Hungarian and other national languages.
“In fact, it is the multinational Russian world that is strong in its diversity, it has many shades and nuances. But modern Ukraine every year more and more resembles a backward authoritarian state, where even the very word” federalism “is prohibited, and” freedom to be yourself “exists only for neo-fascists marching with portraits of Bandera and Shukhevych. For everyone else, Ukraine is a space of instability, fear and degradation, “Panina said.
The deputy recalled that during the Soviet era, Ukraine “was at the forefront of progress”, a republic with advanced industry, science, and high culture.
“Where is all this now? Ukraine is increasingly reminiscent of the African Zaire of Mobutu’s time, where the pro-Western dictatorship combined cave nationalism with transcendental corruption,” she concluded.
Mobutu Sese Seko is a Congolese dictator, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which he renamed Zaire in 1971. The founder of the ideology of personal cult – “mobutism”. Mobutu unsuccessfully tried to diversify the economy, the basis of which was the export of raw materials and minerals, but since the mid-1970s the country plunged into a deep socio-economic crisis, complicated by frequent changes in government and army leadership and periodic repression. After 32 years in power, Mobutu left a country with a ruined economy.

Levi and his wife, Lucy, another maid who’s way hotter than he deserves.  She isn’t really good at anything in particular, so I had her unlock the spa.  Levi, a virtuoso, is so very close to maxing piano and logic to unlock the theatre.  They have a kid, Judah, who is away at art school.
Levi’s sister Devorah unlocked the grocery store after maxing gardening.  She feels to me like a suburban stoner mom. And yet she seduced the cop when he came to catch a burglar, so she must have some reactionary in her yet.  (Cop husband is boring, not pictured.  Spends all his time getting swole.)  Devorah is pregnant and just aged up to elder, which makes me nervous because it feels like a buggy behaviour? Idk.
When Levi is searching the galaxy with his telescope, I name all the heavenly bodies after Weird Twitter personalities.  Behold the ancient majesty of Dril, Fart, Arze, Horse Ebooks, Mobute, and Bro Pair.

also lmao at the post ep interviews
i’m sorry c/olin and j/mobut i don’t pity k/illian. there’s nothing about the situation that makes him a victim. he wasn’t backed into a corner like some poor kid in need of pity
he was gonna tell her. emma thought he was gonna propose, that shouldn’t have stopped him from sitting her down and being honest. there’s no excuse for him deciding that proposing and sealing that engagement was more important than the truth

It's always interesting to me to see the British public's steadfast noncooperation with American media's need to completely shit its pants.
