33·6 months agoUkraine’s worst enemy isn’t Russia, it’s mainstream Western news articles dated 2014-2021
15·6 months agoI really really hope she swiped some of that massage oil before cutting him off so she could at least get something of use out of this mortifying ordeal
That’s right lol, my terminally online brain is just thinking about the bottom rung of the propaganda ecosystem.
Spending 2 literal human years mocking Russia for a quixotic and poorly planned offensive at the start of the war and then doing this is totally unthinkable by any rational decisionmaking process.
I’m convinced the architects of the Ukraine War are caught in a feedback loop with social media where NAFO freaks scoring momentary dunks on the vatniks translates in their minds to real victories, or at least registers as more important than long term survival in their decisionmaking.
Literally the cult behavior from when prophecy fails
10·7 months agoY’all? PoliSci doctorate here, uhh… little PSA: 3 card Monte is NOT A RIGGED GAME!!! People act like there’s some kind of craaaazy conspiracy where the outcome is somehow rigged without considering that they’re just… yknow, bad at the game?
8·7 months agoTrump genuinely loves McDonald’s, it’s something many libs can’t stand about him. A crucial thing to understand about Donald is that he’s all about gaudy symbols of prosperity with no context or substance, the man has no taste. His penthouse is this eye melting reflective golden hodgepodge of Greek pillars modeled on the tastes of a Saudi oligarch. If you served him Brie en Croute paired with a vintage Chateau Lafite Rothschild his body would shut down.
“Heartwarming: Triple Amputee Azov Freedom Fighter Siegs Heil with Remaining Arm” is something the onion would catch flak for for months, but here it is, manifested into reality.
Dune II is a cultural reset for sci-fi in film, Villenueve has turned on the sun and surely the vampires have been reduced to ash.
I don’t think voting for Trump is advisable in any circumstances, even to own the most insufferable and genocidal libs, because it only confirms their fantasies about leftists being secretly Republican. I think it’s beet to just not vote or leave the top of the ticket blank.
As for what’s next for Republicans after Trump, I think the party as we know it will likely collapse. The prospect of a Haley or even DeSantis presidency is doomed because they have no charisma and are transparently nasty little teacher’s pets regardless of how much they try to channel Trump.
I actually can’t think of a single reactionary figure actually qualified to rival Trump in any way, the man is the Messiah for racist middle class whites and boomers because of his mannerisms and gaudy branding, nobody else is like that and we don’t live in a society that can produce more Trumps.
Unlimited victory to the Palestinian resistance.
What would be substantially different about a Trump presidency? Biden has, to my knowledge refused federal action against LGBT discrimination in red states, signed on to every last bullet point of Trump’s white nationalist border sadism, given unlimited greenlights to the rogue state of Israel to carry out a genocide, refused to codify Roe and essentially allowed the Supreme Court to remain an unchecked organ of hard right political power.
Which elements of fascism would materialize under Trump that Biden hasn’t either sleepwalked into or enthusiastically supported?
the author was mocking tradcath types, starchman I think just means stiff or rigid like starchy clothes
Reading this guy’s insufferable blog and was reminded of a greentext I saw years ago and saved, it sums up so many of these dudes:
Be highschooler
Sit every day playing vidya and doing homework in suburban two story
Never go out because no friends
Never have interesting experiences
Girl I like won’t look at me because I’m a silent, boring, slender starchman with no personality
People who do drugs and have sex are more personable and appealing
Nurse hatred of peers
Become trad christian larper
Read hours of old, tired punditry from the 90s denouncing anything pleasurable
Spend every other hour shitflinging online as a caricature of naive, unironic puritanism
Know my views are ridiculous but I’m lashing out at people for not paying attention to me anyway
Refuse to broaden my horizons or do anything that my beguile someone to have an interest in me
Double down on trying to make an identity out of being a gelded, passionless clown
Die a sad virgin convinced cultivating the kind of empty moral superiority that was a cartoonish mockery of real people to begin with
Many such cases
Question for everyone else playing tradle: Do you look at a map of the world while playing?
28·7 months agoMuch of the myth of the ritual hagiography of the 1989 protests in Western media revolves around the absurd notion that 10,000 people were shot, run over by tanks, and their remains hosed down sewer grates in the square. No evidence has ever been produced for this.
They will condemn China for it again this year on June 4th, as they do every year, even as their beknighted liberal allies gleefully do this and worse, even as the whole world watches their Dirlewanger-level atrocities live and in 4k. The difference between these two images is the difference between a socialist society forced into self defense and one built on settler colonial thuggery.
Future historians will place the beginning of Europe’s century of humiliation at some point in the recent past.
