That means we’re about to get 9/11 part deux

Every time Hasan takes his shitty little vacations something crazy happened

He was live for the Trump shooting

Coincidence? Who can say

Which drives up (actual) antisemitism. Which leads to (actual) pogroms. Which leads to American Jews (and others around the world) moving to Israel.

Aka: all part of the Zionist plan.

And for any liberal dinguses reading this going “heuh heuh wow look how racist the left is! Heuh heuh!” I’m speaking not about the Jewish Zionists concentrated in Israel, the US and EU. I’m talking about the majority of Zionists… evangelical Christians. Rabid racists who support actions like this from the US state and other Western governments in hopes that it does exactly what I wrote above. They want all the Jews in America to go live in Israel until the rapture happens and they’re all sent to Hell or whatever specific fanfic they choose to believe. It serves their goal of making America more of a WASP ethnostate, emptying it of non-Christians that they hate, and feeds their psychotic religious fervor.

It’s actually incredible how many specific things that you can point at that make America suck have been upheld by or caused by evangelicals

I think they were potentially referring to Native or Indigenous American genocides in the Americas. When the Spanish and Portuguese Catholics came they justified enslaving and genociding the natives under the justification from the Spanish monarch at the time that basically Catholics (interestingly of any race/ethnic group) were not allowed to suffer under slavery or be slaughtered… but non-Catholics weren’t protected under this decree/law/whatever it was.

This actually is credited with the “invention” of racism as we know it now days. If anyone could theoretically convert to Catholicism and escape slavery, that was bad for the slavers. So they slowly moved over to a race-based, ethnicity-based system of chattel slavery where one’s ancestry determined one’s place in the world forever with no chance of upward mobility. Obviously the English and other first European settlers in what became the United States took the racism to the inevitable maximum endpoint and now over 150 years out from the formal abolishment of chattel slavery the effects of the racist systems still remain.

Anyway, I think if the reference was to Gaza or Palestine the more correct statement would be “because they aren’t Jewish.” Because that’s ultimately the “problem” for the state of Israel and their pursuit of a permanent Jewish ethnic/religious majority. Palestinians could believe in Hinduism or Christianity or whatever else but at the end of the day the “issue” is they aren’t Jewish. Just like white supremacists are concerned only with white/non-white dynamics. Acknowledging this also demonstrates why the “it’s an ancient war!” idiots are dead wrong. Well, another way of demonstrating that fact. It has nothing to do with what they are and everything to do with what they are not. Again, the same as white supremacy. You’re either white or you aren’t. You’re in the protected oppressor group or you aren’t

One of my most libbed up opinions: Twitter under Jack Dorsey was… probably about as “good” as one can expect from a privately run, “for profit” (on paper anyway. I don’t think Twitter’s model is ever profitable in and of itself) “general use” social media app and company.

Good is relative obviously compared to… Twitter now with daily incantations from Mein Kampf being boosted to millions of viewers. Same goes for Facebook, Instagram (also “Meta” owned), YouTube comments, 99% of Reddit. If anyone or any company ever tries to actually abide by “both sides have extremes” it seemed to be Dorsey’s goal. I don’t agree with the goal for ideological and I’d argue moral reasons, but, he did ban the outright and obvious Nazis. The bar is in Hell here, but, libbed up opinion, “he was the lesser of the evils!” We finally found who should’ve been president…

And by general use I mean seeks to bring in a broad audience and isn’t explicitly going to be favoring certain ideological viewpoints. Of course it still favored liberalism as that’s the default “western” stance, to defend western governments and such, but again,… an attempt was made. It was imperfect, even “bad” most of the time, but the bar is deep inside Satan’s rectum on this topic.

If we had tribunals for the creators, major investors and owners of these rancid platforms, and I were a judge (which obviously I would be 👀), I’d argue for leniency for Dorsey. Let him be a humble miner for the rest of his life. Musk, Zuckerberg, that Tom guy from MySpace… well… I am censored on their fates

This is the part where I’ve set myself up to have someone come in and inform me that Dorsey is a suspected serial murderer or some shit

What if I told you there are allowed to write this because it serves an overall goal of heavily regulating (even more so) online communications

Absolutely not a coincidence that all this stuff “leaks” to small groups of “Internet friends.”

Maybe I’m being too conspiratorial, but it does seem like a narrative is being crafted to declare all the apparently not fully compromised sites (reddit, facebook, twitter being fully compromised) as “hotbeds for terror and treason!” as we enter this apparently-inevitable hot war between US/“the west” and Russia/China/Iran. They already spy on absolutely everything… but they want more.

Perhaps I missed some details, but I believe the argument was a bit different (but also probably included what you said). They wanted to use the other convicted pedophile, his buddy, but they feared a jury wouldn’t trust a convicted pedophile. I think these were both effectively speculation though since the feds never formally acknowledged much of it. We saw the evidence and we knew they were pursuing charges… and then it went poof with little reason why

He’s more than likely going to be totally deranged. The only question is how much he relies on rhetoric vs action. Incompetence is a given, but when the secdef position… he can kill a shitload of people. Of course in theory secdef answers to the president, but, they’ve gone “rogue” before to varying degrees. They hold immense authority at the end of the day and few will question their authority if they just say the president made the order. Genuinely crazy shit, but… not unexpected unfortunately

I appoint myself to be Trump’s new “Shit Czar” in charge of reversing all the EPA (or whoever makes those rules) rules/laws/whatever mandating “low flow” faucets and toilets.

A “problem” that was solved 20 years ago. Easiest job ever. Just pretend I’m still working on it for 4 years then show him a Toto toilet. The Japanese really know how to suck human feces away with minimum amounts of water usage. (No, I’m not paid by Toto… but I’d like to be)

Canada has been invading the US in the form of the absolute worst war crime loving media figures. David Frum (guilty of enough propaganda to be hanged, legally speaking only of course), Crowder (re-enacted George Floyd’s murder among an infinite well of other racist shit, Ted Cruz (Cuban-Canadian… no further comment), and a lot more that I can’t will myself into thinking about

“He’s just a fan of Latin! Guys! Can’t someone tattoo the Catholic motto used during the crusades on their arm!? CANCEL CULTURE WHAT THE FUCK???”

But for real, I thought this was a “joke” someone put out? (The guy not his Nazi tats) He’s some low level rando from Fox News…?

Immediate thought:

This reminds me of my favorite episode of Futurama entitled Godfellas.

God is represented as a possible result of a satellite that collided with God and created this binary-speaking God we see in the episode

If she sees this comment though… might speed the process up

Excellent 5D chess move

But on a more serious note, this sounds like an infinite fountain of resentment for the two of you. From the outsider POV here, it’s easy to say “just leave.” But as someone on the outside who has been on the inside… you gotta take action. Now or later, this stuff tends to explode.

Results will be a quick burn end of the relationship or she comes to acknowledge the truth (that criticism of Israel doesn’t inherently have anything at all to do with Jewish people. And also thinking it does is into itself pretty antisemitic even if tons of people think it anyway). You either save yourself years of internal torment and resentment (and probably same on her end, to be fair) or you have a healthier, more mature relationship where you can respect each other and learn and grow together.

It’s your life ultimately. Why spend it with a hovering cloud of resentment over your main relationship and source of human contact? Unless it genuinely doesn’t bother you. Then do whatever. Do whatever anyway. It seems to bother you though considering draws circle this whole-ass post.

And the sunk cost fallacy is a bad logical fallacy with investments and such. When using it regarding a relationship… it’s only going to get more “sunk.” More cats, maybe kids, who knows. I don’t want to boil relationships down to dollars, but it’s safe to say long term committed relationships don’t tend to have partners become less “bought-in” over time.

Cop unions are “fake” because cops are class traitors. My opinion anyway. But yes no one considers their endorsement because obviously they always support the most right wing candidate, usually the republican… although now days they’re literally both full pro-cop parties

And i assume the person isn’t talking about the union as an entity or its leadership but rather the unionized workers who belong to the union. Many voted for Trump. Not that surprising considering Biden offered very little to them and fully failed to communicate what he did offer (and Harris too later on). When the entire election is social issues vs social issues and class issues are effectively off the table (in any meaningful way) then people who don’t pay much attention of course vote for the hog taking a better social issues story for them to believe in.

Literally the meme of Eric shooting Hannibal then asking “Why would Donald Trump do this?” Eric is the DNC/libs and Hannibal is “the working class” which includes people who actually work for a living. They blame Trump for their own failure to reject neoliberal capitalism that has been failing 90% of the population for 40-50 years.

Vague accusations of Evans being a fed

(I haven’t seen real evidence of this being true, btw. People accuse Johnny Harris of being a fed- THAT I do believe. Evans though… meh. People should be checking sources anyway and not just believing the framing of podcasters/streamers. Sometimes a person can tell the truth while lying. That’s what Harris does. I haven’t seen this behavior from Evans. I get the feeling it’s mostly just normal online activities by bored people who want to accuse everyone else of doing stuff. Nevertheless the rumors have persisted and it’s hard to comment on him without getting told “wow, didn’t you know he’s…” so I try to pre-empt that)

Behind the Bastards (the podcast) had a multi-part look into this hangman. The conclusion seemed to be “Who knows if the Army hired him knowing he was incompetent or if he purposefully incompetent… but the result was a lot of Nazis suffering strangulation instead of the quick neck snap”

(And yes I know BtB’s lead man is the center of some amount of controversy. Most of their strictly historical output is fine though, in my view.)

God it feels good

I mean not sure how that’s how it works lmao

Does that make Tzar Nicholas II the greatest emperor of Russia? I dunno, maybe. Maybe it does.

But, I’m still ridin’ with Biden. On one policy only.

Let’s just say

SCOTUS made a pretty crazy decision in the recent past. And Biden could do a hilarious thing before Jan 20, 2025.

Time’s ticking old man! In all the ways possible!

It’s already effectively happened the moment Trump was clearly the winner. The “threat to democracy” rhetoric got shut off, Kamala and every media outlet swapped from “he’s literally Hitler!” to “we must accept the results of this election”.

I seem to recall something vague about taurus and star signs, but I dunno, I wasn’t really paying attention the 100th time my ex-girlfriend told me about stars and the moon

There’s also the Pokemon

This seems rather harsh towards the family-sized Ford Taurus
