Anyone bounding up to the pulpit, screaming "They're not British/American enough. Attack!" is instantly prime contender for someone already sold out their country for some Russian bitcoin.

The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.

"Some good advice there. Now, Cheltenham starts this week, where rich folk dress up in outfits that cost your annual salary, & spunk Β£1000's on champagne. Here's Harry Redknapp who owns 26 horses!"

Also, Boris Johnson (his old boss) is not indigenous to the UK. He is an immigrant.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch warns Israel’s military has once again used white phosphorus munitions in residential areas in southern Lebanon β€” a violation of international humanitarian law.
