They've played us all for fools, THEY'RE CONSTRUCTING THE FIFTH ELEMENT UNDER SWITZERLAND

I think it's more appropriate to look at it as the Capitalists capturing the state after the New Deal reforms so that they can claw back some concessions to labor. The ride-or-die attitude is IMO entirely due to the CIA via Engelton (operating on behalf of the oligarchic deep state) outsourcing very delicate clandestine domestic work through the Israeli account in order to protect their operations and actions from accountability to other elements of the agency and state. This A. creates a situation where you want to prop Israel up so you can continue to use them as a cats paw and B. puts Israel in the position where they have compromising information to make demands of America.
So I guess what I mean is, it's not like America is ride-or-die for Israel and this single-mindedness is destroying it. Rather, being Ride-or-die for Israel is a consequence of the Capitalist's violent reaction to Keynesian reforms.

Yes, I am serious but I am also joking about Butlerian Jihad. It's not just that people need to touch grass, people need to engage with the greater world around them unmediated at least in some capacity. Part of the existential shithole that is living in the west is the hyper-atomization. insert sappy paragraph about how love is the antidote, engage with the people and wildlife in your life and the planet itself on whatever terms in any capacity.
You are correct. According to Grok these are expressions of psychosis related to obsessing over 1960's fiction and a deep-seated fear of change.
ChatGPT also told me I should ask my doctor if Zoloft is right for me.
I think it's more of a heliotrope shade
This is the machine logic, people's thought patterns are and will be influenced by the technology that they "offshore" their investigative impulses and deductive reasoning to. I have been saying this for years even on this site.
Butlerian Jihad now.
The Sokoto anti-imperial run is nice because England and France are both busy with other flashpoints while you have the early game to build up towards mid-game conflict. Not alot of other starts (in this context) afford that luxury of early game build up. Something else that has potential is Oman; IDK if you have tried before but at a certain point you get a dilemma about whether you exclusively focus on your african holdings or try to become a major regional power on the Indian Ocean and engaging the East India Company / Dutch Indies from another front.
