    I get paid to write weird fetish erotica for people, and I still put way more effort into it than this wanker does into his “journalism.”

      The “journalists” are just writing a different kind of fetish erotica.

        Not good money, and I have to do this sort of stuff instead of more legitimate art because it is the only thing that pays (barely) enough for me to make rent.

          You made me curious, would you mind telling me more about it? 🙂 Do you write short stories that you sell online as a freelancer or is it something bigger, like having a contract with a publisher and selling books?

        Yes, usually for Patreon, and sometimes the author commissions a good artist to make a piece for their short story (or vice versa).

        There can be decent money in it, but it’s mostly a hobby or side job type deal.

        Of course the better your writing the better you’ll do.

    Funnily enough the Orks from Warhammer can make things happen by believing in it hard enough, exactly what these people are trying despite trying to use the word orc/ork as a slur lol.

      Russia already lost in the hearts and minds of western liberals, and that’s what really matters in the end.

        Maybe the real Russian defeat was the friends we made along the way.

          That’s right, NATO is stronger than ever as we’re constantly told. Never mind that they can’t even agree who is going to replace Stoltenberg.

            This is making me imagine an edit of the “Friends” opening title sequence, with Stoltenberg, Baerbock, Biden, etc. all smiling in a bittersweet way while that stupid-ass “No One Told You Life Was Gonna Be This Way” song is playing in the background.

    Real time comedy, of an extremely dark and twisted kind.

    I see he subscribes to the Gordon Chang school of geopolitics.

    He made the mistake of not just doubling down for another five years though.
