  • The US figured out if you run a reign of terror stomping out all thoughts more left-wing than Mussolini, gutting the (formerly) famous bastions of international science on US soil, chasing professors out of universities, and suppressing all contrary thoughts with prison, nobody is left to fight back.

    Weird how the libs will screech about the cultural revolution while ignoring which country successfully did it first…

    I mean if you’re going to do a reign of terror and ruin millions of lives, at least come out the other side with actual benefits lmfao.

    For all the evil it came with, China went from agrarian peasants to world leading scientists and cities. The US… well, lol.


  • It really is quite nice when you’re first starting out. You don’t feel the withdrawals as bad, a nice relaxing smoke at sundown…

    And then you go through the whole addiction, quit, song and dance and realize you could have had the same benefits with no downside by just meditating or taking a break outside without smoking.

    Thank god my brain chemistry makes it near-impossible to form addictions, it almost makes up for ruining my life!


  • It’s literally genetic.

    I would explain the evolutionary pressures that resulted in this adaptation and the societal factors that has resulted in completely ignoring this segment of humanity.

    But the fact that you feel so fucking cute and intelligent posting from your little high horse while being completely wrong is so goddamn funny and you probably don’t have the capability to understand anyway.

    In conclusion, maybe the person with a room temperature IQ shouldn’t be making false accusations at people that already follow your useless advice?


  • You MAGAts keep screaming about how if we don’t vote blue, fascism will gain even more power.

    What exactly do you think is happening right now under Biden?

    It’s incredibly telling of the liberal brain rot that you can listen to this entire song and your only argument is “but orange man bad”.

    So, to quote the warrior-poet: “And fuck no, I’m not votin’ for you in the fall”





  • The movie was the most milquetoast “both sides bad” propaganda you could make, to such an extent that I’m shocked people are unironically watching this and thinking it’s some deep commentary.

    Yeah it’d be crazy if both sides were equally committing heinous crimes.

    Except in real life it’s only ever one side screaming about children while filling them with holes and bullying them to death. It’s always one side committing stochastic terrorism, actual terrorism, and attempting to overthrow a democratic government.

    It’s always one side that spreads racist, xenophobic, classist garbage. The same side that dismantles education systems, social structures, and economic models that are proven to improve society while saving money.

    And for the cherry on top, it’s always the side that liberals align themselves with when the chips are on the table.



  • Historical context: the KAL007 incident immediately followed the intrusion and activity of a USAF Boeing RC-135 recon plane that was in literally the same spot earlier that day. This aircraft has the same radar signature as KAL007.

    The Soviets, in a hurry to shoot the spy plane signature hundreds of miles off civilian air routes while it was still in their territory (the second time the unresponsive KAL007 crossed it during the flight), shot it down.

    Yknow, as regularly and justifiably happens with spy balloons today.

    Russia does enough bad shit without the propaganda, going full onion just makes it seem laughable (not saying you are, this is just an extremely common take).

    They’re just as ugly as the LV monogram luggage or 20 pound Rimowa carryons and yet nobody gives a shit about those and Crocs have a utility value of being comfortable.

    (Side tangent in case anyone tries to convert me to Rimowa. There’s a reason flight crews don’t use them.)

    Here’s a hint dear reader: it’s class war. Really weird how it’s always class war.




  • Interesting, however I am a bit confused why you are being so disingenuous and straight up lying. Surely the right wing dogwhistles you used are just a misunderstanding on my part.

    One of his signs claimed that Mr. Trump and President Biden were “about to fascist coup us.”

    he said his critical views of the American government were shaped by his research into Peter Thiel, the technology billionaire…

    “Trump’s in on it,” Mr. Azzarello said on Thursday. “It’s a secret kleptocracy, and it can only lead to an apocalyptic fascist coup.”

    It looks like he struggled heavily with mental illness, and shows all the hallmarks of old school deep state conspiracy theorists.

    he threw a glass of wine at a framed autograph of former President Bill Clinton


  • TBF they literally won a total war against the greatest military powers back to back and built the foundation for one of the rising stars of the region today.

    Something like 90% home ownership rates, a HOT labor market, low cost of living, incredible food, a friendly and honest culture, 4.4% poverty rate, a serious effort to improve development metrics (universal healthcare, literacy rate, maternal care, etc)…

    Sure sounds like the fight was worth it compared to how the US-aligned developing countries turned out.


  • So far, sentiment seems very understanding of the tough situation and a call that had unforeseen circumstances.

    Except, oh wait, it’s all bullshit passive voice copaganda.

    From the literal article:

    Los Angeles officer Jordan Head had a 40-millimeter bean bag gun, but before he could aim it at the suspect, Jones fired his AR-15 three times.

    Head “did not discharge the 40-millimeter launcher because, before he could aim, rounds were fired, and the suspect fell to the ground and was no longer an immediate threat,” according to the Justice Department analysis of the shooting.

    Officer Michael Mazur, who assumed command of the scene on arrival, told Jones to “slow down” multiple times, and at some point later told Head “It’s f—– up.  We tried to slow it down.”
