There was another post somewhere with the calculation of the actual explosive warhead mass converted into TNT equivalent, and it was around 6kT total, just over a third of Little Boy which was 15kT. Which is still absolutely fucking insane.

but the complete opposite
“The law, in its magnificent equality…”
Me too, so let’s improve our aim for next time.
No it cannot, because the Ukrainian army and regime is filled with nazis that want to ethnic-cleanse the Russian speaking population.
Here is a video of a Ukrainian nazi conference on the 5th of February 2022 (!) discussing the end goal of a dismembered Russia, which these nazis expected to gain a large share of the spoils from.
I love this graph, it is an excellent graph
The ambush led to the First Battle of Fallujah, a U.S.-led operation to retake control of the city. However, the battle was halted mid-way for political reasons, an outcome which commentators have described as insurgent victory.
“W-we would’ve won if we weren’t stabbed in the back! They didn’t win, that’s the lying fake news media!”
Bet they’re wishing they still had all those guys they sent to Haiti right about now.
The Chinese Nationalists thought that military power should decide that they were in charge of China, right up until the People’s Liberation Army fucking bodied them and they fled to their little island with their tails between their legs (and then conducted massacres against the native population and anyone remotely leftist).
This “”“independence dispute”“” would have been resolved seventy years ago had the US Navy not stuck their fucking imperial beak in and stopped the communists chasing down these fascist war criminals and finishing the job.
Missed opportunity at the end of that story: instead of falling to his “child-friendly, nonspecific final comeuppance”, Gaston should’ve become the new Beast and been trapped in the castle until he learned his lesson
But no, the freshly redeemed noble gotta have his estates - after all, the real “beauty” was inside him all along all the land and money that Belle is about to marry into!
One of the comments:
One of the things that I hate about korean reality talk shows, is that they act comedic about serious topics. Like they just refuse to be negative, as if they are scared that it will make the audience go away or smth.
“In bad Korea, the people are forced to pretend they’re happy all the time even while talking about horrible things!”
I’ve grown more and more to hate “mass mind control” type story beats, especially when the main character(s) are immune to it because they’re ‘special’.
Like, whenever there’s some kind of special frequency sound or TV image or whatever, that being exposed to turns people completely into automatons… basically the notion that human will can be completely stripped away, that ‘the plebs’ have no real autonomy and can be easily hypnotized, by special scifi contrivance in fiction or by ‘’‘charismatic leaders’‘’ IRL, which is a cornerstone of the liberal non-understanding of the history of both fascism and socialism. Hitler was just an extremely charismatic speaker who made everyone turn evil for no reason and definitely not for the financial benefit of the capitalist class, and the people who lived under communism didn’t rebel because they were just brainwashed into accepting their (what must have been) obviously miserable conditions.
The main example I’m thinking of is the first Kingsman film, which has a lot of other reactionary brainworms too, but the idea of a sound that turns everyone into uncontrolled rage zombies that attack anyone they see for no reason, and the villain is a billionaire who wants to reduce the human population so only his fellow billionaires and ‘elites’ will repopulate the Earth - and the only person who can stop him is an avatar of the most ludicrous ‘British gentleman’ lifestyle, as if the Tory peers that would undoubtedly make up this organization, not to mention the fucking royal family, wouldn’t be the first people into the billionaire bunker.
Thinking more about it, it’s pure projection - only the US ever engaged in MK Ultra ‘mind controlled supersoldier’ stuff, and in fact real mind control would be able to create the greatest possible capitalist dream: workers that work to their absolute limit and never complain or fight back. Capitalist media’s projection of it onto their enemies is the most like, Freudian-libidinal morbid fascination type shit.
Yeah, clearly they just post any kind of Russian propaganda over at the… checks notes Kyiv Independent
These are both from the same year (I forget when):
“You can be the next Stalin” vs “Dab on your wife with the ugliest fucking tie ever conceived”
Why are you defending the rump state of a fascist dictatorship?
I hope the “Republic of China” can someday be peacefully dissolved and the province of Taipei reunited under the mainland government.
The perfidious Russians are hiding from me on the other side of my closed eyelids
No, you’re right, the US keeps delivering longer-ranged missiles so the nazi terrorism can continue.
Violence is the only thing that has ever destroyed oppression.
Violence, and the threat of violence, is the only way to make someone who is persecuting you for their own material benefit stop.
