-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The 100idk just what i've taken from the meme version of posadism, seems hard to rally planetary resources/energy for interstellar travel if you are busy giving all of your resources to inbred monarchs or finance ghouls and making economic decisions based on artificial gambling (stocks) and the short term profit of several large scale scams.
Amen, comrade. BTW, here's a track I really like with samples of UFO encounters and from what seems like a report from the burger govt of first contact w/ enlightened aliens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uu6mW3y5Iw
