Meh, youre making this post itself from .world, which itself just last week had a massive struggle session as its most prolific mod was under fire for claiming the genocide in Palestine is unrelated to US politics. If that’s not propaganda, I dont know what is. I dont know of any other instances that have the same censorship issues as .world.

Except no, they literally do.

The Epstein strategy was one where people were hoping that a Trump-led DOJ would release material necessary to take down Trump - who runs the DOJ. It’s a baffling, failing strategy.

It also doubled life expectancy. How horrid.

Last week, Tibetans and friends of Tibet around the world marked the 67th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising Day on March 10, 1959. That day, tens of thousands of Tibetans protested against Chinese military occupation and were massacred. The Dalai Lama escaped into exile, where he has been ever since.

The uprising was orchestrated by the CIA, and the Dalai Lama is a pedophile, slave-owning, CIA plant who had no problem with literal fuedal slavery in Tibet in the late 50s. What you call a crushed uprising was actually a historical liberation for the serfs in Tibet - of which some 90% of Tibetans were serfs in the years preceeding their liberation.

This lays bare the actual reasoning and motives for US “aid” around the world: to wield power and obtain leverage.

Samantha Power, the former director of USAID, also laid bare how the US weaponizes humanitarian aid by masking its strategic interests with the rhetoric of altruism. In a recent New York Times op-ed, Power acknowledged that the agency has “generated vast stores of political capital” in the countries where it works and uses its leverage to bolster American financial interests, like helping a US company “enter a new market.” New Jersey Senator Andy Kim, a Democrat who once worked for USAID, was even more blunt. “USAID isn’t charity,” he wrote in a post on X. “It’s a foreign policy tool with bipartisan origins that is critical in this dangerous global environment. Gutting it means gutting our ability to compete and keep America safe.”

This doesn’t help your specific problem, but for what it’s worth: airvpn allows you to set a port # which is retained when the VPN hops to a new server, or is reset. In other words, I set the port # in airvpn a year ago, and i have kept the same port since. I haven’t kept super up to date on VPN trustworthiness, so maybe airvpn is no longer recommended.

China is still the world’s leading polluter

This is a rhetorical sleight of hand that conveniently glosses over the actual history of polluting nations.

Tenuous, unsourced statement alone - that has no bearing on automotive batteries which use different battery chemistry, design choices, and validation processes. Apples to oranges.

So are SIM cards.

Assuming you dont have a platinum PSU, you could upgrade to a more efficient PSU. That probably won’t give you as much gains as tweaking bios settings though.

Lol dog, you have no “movement”. You have a disparate collection of people bleating epstein to deaf ears on social media. Please show me how this epstein “movement” has had any measurable effect on the administration’s ability to orchestrate fascism.

Again, the original question was: at what point would you concede that this strategy is failing?

When the first doors are broken down? When the first public execution happens? When socialists are being loaded onto trains? When the first mass grave is discovered? Once the first million Muslim or Arab Americans have been executed?

Is there any point at which youd give up on this strategy?

Dont get me wrong, we need justice for the people that were abused, but appealing to the morality of our oppressors is silly. True justice for these victims will come when our systems functionally disallow the formation of any sort of Epstein class. Keep in mind, someone else has undoubtedly already picked up where Epstein left off.

Where did I say we should give up on justice for child sex abuse victims?

We should be giving up on this naive notion that one of these Epstein file drops is going to magically turn 60 million people against Trump.

So, we’re already there?

Your gumption in trying to reveal evil is admirable, but this simply isn’t a winning strategy. It’s not working.

And the 40% of Americans who don’t give a shit will continue to ignore you.

At what point can we say the Epstien strategy will not “take down” Trump?

Hey, you basically defined my system.

Truenas scale machine running 4x 16TB drives. I use a cheap rosewill 4u server rack case. It has hot swap drive bays in front. Big plus.

The brain is an amd 5950x running on an asrock x570 steel legend w/ 128GB of the cheapest crucial DDR4 ECC I could find. Also running an rtx 2080 for jellyfin transcoding.

My consumer mobo is the bottleneck. Given how my end goal is to have a 10gb nic and an LSI card for more sata ports, I’m going to have to get creative with m.2 ports. I might plug a 10gb nic into an m.2 port.

PSU was a 1kW fractal platinum rated. Way overkill, but the high efficiency is key.

You’ll notice my build uses a lot of gaming parts - i simply harvested my old parts when I upgraded my gaming PC. Despite this, it still idles under 200 watts. My point is not that you should seek out gaming parts, but if you happen to have any on hand, they could be effectively leveraged given price increases on new parts.

The biggest thing is: Use ECC. This is non negotiable for your setup. ECC saved me a couple weeks ago when my 5950x shot craps, randomly. So far no issues after increasing to a set voltage. ZFS and ECC go together like peas in a pod.

Trunp voters aren’t stupid, nor are they passive victims of a con. They are rational actors whose material interest and cultural identity are actually being addressed by Trumpism.

This is the best strategy.

However, if you ever knew youd NEED to use public charging, check out USB condom adapters. They open circuit the data pins.

The US slaughtered 20% of the country’s people. “Invasion” is putting it lightly.

Uh, yeah. It was. You realize that imperial Japan expanded beyond the island, right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Manchuria

Operation August Storm,[1] began on 9 August 1945 with the Soviet Union’s invasion of the Empire of Japan’s puppet states of Manchukuo and Mengjiang, in Japanese-occupied Manchuria and Inner Mongolia respectively. It was the largest campaign of the 1945 Soviet–Japanese War, which resumed hostilities between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Empire of Japan after almost six years of peace.

Original claim:

The US used the nuke to minimize potential Soviet influence over a post war Japan

Your rebuttal:

A normal human could not swim the Sea of Japan. 😏

What are you even talking about?

But I’m laughing harder at your other notion that the soviet ubermenschen were right about to swim across the Sea ofJapan and the US had to cheat to beat them there

Again, not sure what youre talking about, or how this follows. The only person bringing this idea is you.

Perhaps you need to check your le epic notes again.
