@adam-l Just watched it, good recommendation. I had been anticipating the 9/11 and subsequent war on terror segment. Hearing Bush and Blair again in those clips makes me even more exhausted to hear the new faces of those exact same political parties saying the exact same words - but what makes it worse is that the exact same people are hearing them and going along with it again.
Well anyway, the rest of the documentary is pretty fascinating. I'm fairly disconcerted at the idea of reality having peeled off into being entirely fake and gay, and it points to my wider frustration with conversations or efforts to truth seek - because of course you've first got to establish which sandbox you're playing in, the real or the fake and gay, and then you have to figure out if whom you're interacting with is operating in the real or the fake and gay, and if it's the latter then it is entirely a waste of time... worse still, you could be occupying what you think ought to be real only to find out it's been coopted and is actually now fake and gay.
I do wonder what sets someone apart from the fake and gay long enough to say "hey wait a minute" - and for others to blithely accept it.
Another interesting point was the Aladdin predictive algorithm. I'd not heard of that before and I do wonder what it's capabilities are outside of the market context... but then I guess he who controls the spice markets, controls the universe world.

Read MoreIran is full of angry dudes that dont like being subjugated. Of course they will do everything to change it. Times change they cant be sure that they wont be getting a sHort and sharp end of stick sometimes in a future.
It's a rational in a nuclear age to want to equip your nation with nuclear weapons as they are the best deterrent to being attacked. The second best deterrent is effective diplomacy. If the folks you're dealing with step away from the table and they have nukes? Well, best get to making your own - so yes, we don't need the chart to demonstrate an obvious rationale, but the chart does demonstrate this rationale, too.
Iran is not and has never been a good faith negotiator.
Blaming trump for ending a deal they had no intention of honoring is wasted breath
shrug
Y'all need to calm down Iran is absolutely fucked no one is coming to hold their hand
Yes, as I said.
they have no allies capable or willing to help them.
Iran is getting it's shit raped in because it can't do fuck and y'all panicking
You know full well from my previous responses what I think of Iran, you know full well that I think they’re limp dicked. How does “fuck ‘um all” remotely translate into panic?
I’m sorry that I can spread my disdain across all of the actors in this latest round of theatrics equally like room temperature butter.
Glad you’re enjoying the show.
@MentORPHEUS As ever, I'm only moved as far as to say "fuck you all!" in the geopolitics of it all.
Fuck Trump for being the one that ended the deal with Iran in his first term
Fuck Israel for their inherent bloodlust to bomb all of their neighbours
Fuck Iran for that stupid motherfucker ayatollah propagandising his population with "death to the west"
Fuck the liberals and progressives who seamlessly flip flop between protesting the Iranian regime for their treatment of the population not even two years ago, and then being propagandised into carrying signs of the ayatollah in solidarity. Stupid cunts.
I'm sure there's some other folks that can go and fuck themselves for being the way that they are.
All that being said, I doubt this will become a war in any conventional sense. Russia is can't even take Ukraine, China is focused on their trade win conditions (we'll see this if Iran insist on closing the strait of hormuz), they have no allies capable or willing to help them.
If America or Israel signal to put boots on the ground that would be unfathomably retarded and though both of those countries administrations are unfathomably retarded, I think they're aware of that much.
tl;dr fuck 'um all.

Oh! Oh! I know this one! It was the CIA!
@Vermillion-Rx Yeah it's based on community submissions, so you timestamp the beginning and end of a sponsor, hit submit and then it'll auto skip that section of the video for anyone else that comes across it. You'll see it on videos as a yellow or green bar from that point on. Love it!

"Sponsorblock" zaps out integrated ads or sponsors - was good to find out it works on embedded videos too :D
Good video though, incredibly accurate - they even did the ad break fade out lol
