social justice is not just beliefs held by the population, it rests on economic foundations which were swept away by the fall of the warsaw pact.

the Office is Sacred and In Good Hands

everyone in government is a self interested buffoon

libs be like :same-picture:

those counties know what they did & fully deserve to be turned into glass :posadist-nuke:

nuke silos in the plains make a very funny dispersal pattern “fuck this chain of rural towns in particular”

Necromancer: i will never stop restarting the Tolkein struggle session :sicko-pig:

true imperialists get scurvy on a boat drinking sour beers before bombarding unarmed coastal villages with massive guns.

not like those mewling nomadic types taking on opponents with numerical & technological parity

No one did clinical trials on people taking showers every day. So what’s the basis for assuming that that is a healthy practice

this guy is a sicko lmao

:data-laughing: exactly what i thought when i saw the second post :tito-laugh:

its not necessarily a yank’s fault they’re uneducated about what their country has done but anyone who lacks the compunction to ask “why is this person chanting death to america?” and not take their answer from a idiot news host ‘they hate us for our freedoms’—these people don’t deserve a voice on the meaning of a slogan from a country they know nothing about in a language they don’t speak.

(also im not DtB im just defending the formula, which especially should be unproblematic here because we’re aware of the context of the phrase)

the iranians have never meant “yankees should be genocided” death to <country> has always been about opposition to imperialism and neocolonialism.

some navel-gazing arrogant americans think half the world literally wants them dead but they’re the most incurious hateful people imaginable so their opinion doesn’t really count on whether victims of the yankees’ slogans hurt their feelings

:shocked-pikachu: whaaaaaaaaat???

ive always suspected this, its just socially acceptable to be racist about animals who can’t punch you in the mouth

the dam part is perfectly feasible.

gathering freshwater from that project and hurling it at the Tarim basin … Thats NAWAPA shit. just casually sending large quantities of water 4,000km over the tallest mountain range on earth :sicko-hyper:

then there’s the fact we’ll have no idea just what the fuck any of this will cause—the dam & greening desert will fuck with rain patterns, the ocean currents, multiple ecosystems, just generally our already unravelling ecology

but since everythings fucked anyway who cares lets do it. they’re gonna put fucking chalk in the sky and a billion satellites in orbit, it’d be a shame to not build great monuments down here

it would still require the same kind of unimaginable engineering and reckless abandon. and for the record NAWAPA was working from the exact same premises of water going to sea=bad, lets instead make it go where dry

NAWAPA but 20x as expensive and destructive. I love it.
