MASSIMO: Stop saying ‘that comfy chair’: know the real names of classic chairs.

JAVIER MILEI: These are all various heads of the same Beast aimed at justifying the state's expansion through the appropriation and distortion of noble causes.

We moved from the concept of freedom as the fundamental protection of the individual against the intervention of the deterrent for the concept of liberation through State intervention.  On this foundation, Wokeism was built, an ideology of Monolithic thinking upheld by various institutions whose purpose is to penalize dissent: feminism, diversity, inclusion, equity, immigration, abortion, environmentalism, gender ideology, among others. These are all various heads of the same Beast aimed at justifying the state's expansion through the appropriation and distortion of noble causes.  

A picture of Milei's words. 

Thanks to John Sitarek.

Okay, this is a scene from from the Netflix series The Diplomat, Season 2.  The submarines are home-ported at HM Naval Base Clyde (HMNB Clyde), commonly known as Faslane, on the Gare Loch in western Scotland.

The quickest way for Russia to penetrate our Naval defenses is steaming from the Arctic to the North Atlantic.  This is our military presence in the Arctic.  These are Russia's Arctic military positions in 1995. Today, Infantry, Naval, radar search and rescue air defense, the biggest buildup since the Soviets fell.  This is where we lost Russia's most sophisticated submarines in the North Atlantic for 3 weeks this is where we found their Losharik submarine, which we noticed only because it caught fire.  We have no idea how many more there are, but we think they are around here, here, here, and here.  This is Cregan [Creegan is a fictional city, a fictional name for Faslane].  Do you know what Creegan is?

A nuclear submarine base in Scotland.

All of the UK's nuclear weaponry is housed at "Creegan."  It's what makes them one of the 9 nuclear powers.  Also, it's the only base in Europe where we can dock our nuclear subs.  It's the last place we have any hope of detecting a Russian sub before it's in the vast Atlantic barreling toward New York.  Cregan is target #1 in the European theater of war

The Vice President says that all of the UK's nuclear weapons are stored in one place--a fictitious naval base called Creegan. In fact, at least four different locations in the UK store its nuclear warheads.  from IMDB.  

 

SAMA HOOLE: Oreos, Coca-Cola, Doritos - all designed by food scientists in labs to be as addictive as possible without technically being drugs. Then they market them to children.

The food industry discovered the "bliss point" in the 1970s. That's the exact ratio of sugar, salt, and fat that maximizes dopamine response and overrides natural satiety signals. They engineer products to hit this point deliberately. It's not accidental. It's calculated. Oreos, Coca-Cola, Doritos - all designed by food scientists in labs to be as addictive as possible without technically being drugs. Then they market them to children. This is tobacco industry tactics applied to food. Create lifetime customers by addicting them young.

Your "lack of willpower" is actually your brain responding exactly as intended to a carefully engineered addictive substance.
