RR isn't the only person online that I've seen complain about cuck being conjoined to other words, but yeah... still bizarre behavior...
The word originally was used to refer to conservatives that belie their "conservative" principles to appease leftists and possibly centrists, especially members of Congress that give the Dems what they want with nothing in return. It also included war-mongering neocons on occasion, though now has gained traction as "accurate" post-COVID.
It's also used by RedPill/Incel/etc. types to mark conservatives that agree on protecting women on various things without realizing they're helping Feminism. Tradcuck is seomtimes used instead, but I've seen both terms.
It can be used in multiple contexts and be deemed accurate, ger is just using it the context of The Most Evilest Ones.
Not sure the Israelis will suffer the same kind of ass-spanking like back in the mid-late 2000s, but one could hope.
I'm wondering if the end goal here is Syria? Maybe because the Ukraine-Russia thing isn't going anywhere and the attempt to ruin Syria by Turkish/Kurd/US invasion didn't work? To my knowledge, Russia is allied with Lebanon and Syria.
You'll get the "not true Christianity", similar to the "not real Communism" rebuttal.
There is some truth to the idea that a lot of denominations aren't practicing "real Christianity". But it's a big problem that many of those denominations are subverted. The problem is too many followers misinterpret sections of the Bible as pacifism, or just skip over some of Jesus' more violent moments/sayings. The bulk of the religion functioning as an organized one is what doomed it to its current state. Protestants and their descendant sects can grumble all they want, but some of them are part of the issue too.
The weakling types need a reckoning or awakening, but beware of their opposite extreme, that think the solution is to start purging non-believers and make religion law.
Going off of what CensoredSpeech said, I would say that Japan was cooked before Abe even became PM. They haven't recovered from their cultural decay that was implanted post-WWII and further rotted since the 90s.
Killing Abe was confirmation that there is no peaceful turnaround from the external puppetry
State Dept combined with BoJ probably threatened enough ministers to back him.
The gay marriage shit is to continue the dropping the birth rates and normalize degeneracy out in public. Japan is overpopulated as is and doesn't need more people, as in they don't need immigrants either. It will level out its own but the economy needs to be reset, it's been a zombie for decades. Until the BoJ and the zaibatsu are completely flushed, they will continue to be a slow moving puppet for the global elites.
They're doing this as close to the election as possible so it becomes difficult to stop their plans.
EDIT: Article claims that this is only for local elections. Non-Citizens should have no fucking say regardless
This is an accurate take.
Just a glance at what they find funny through Internet memes shows their rotted-brain view of comedy as well
You're still tax chattel when abroad and I don't think it's easy to just take a flight right back home for one day of the year to vote. If you want to strip that right from expats, then they shouldn't have to pay Federal taxes. If that doesn't matter, then I would say being camped in an American squatting zone on foreign soil shouldn't count either.
Downvoters're upset, even though the Bible literally begins with the first of the "Because He made you" / "Because He said so" justifications of which the rest of God's subsequent Wrath is based upon
why Japanese would bother to deal with the Chinese at all
Ask the US military, global banks and the G7
Most fans deep in the shit will say that the whole idea is to "play a character", which did make sense... when it was a novelty. It's possible people feel more comfortable with a virtual mask-wearers than knowing there's another human being on the other side, because of the whole reality/fiction disconnect. However, the parasocial aspect that was already a problem with Youtubers can be compounded by that disconnect, which has resulted in a more visceral reaction towards some of the simp behavior. Really, it's eCeleb/Youtubers but with voice-acting talent role-playing as fictional characters in front of an online (some terminally-online) audience.
I saw quite a bit of Kizuna/Kaguya etc. early on as it seemed a cool idea to do live-motion capture on a person, showing the advancement in technology. But my interest soured as, of course, companies dedicated to the shit followed after very quickly, with videogame streams and superchats, not unlike how Youtube started monetizing their popular users a decade ago. The streaming fits right into the Zoomer/post-Zoomer habit of wasting time watching other people accomplish things. It's also extended into its own gamut of fan-artistry and I've seen decently talented people just ride into that abyss and waste their abilities on it.
It could be more toxic to the mind than watching human Youtubers depending on the person, so I put it slightly towards the "detrimental to humanity" bucket, but so is being on the Internet too much anyway... You could also argue watching Youtube is no different than Boomers sitting in front of a TV, people like to be entertained when vegging.
Yeah, I only responded because MLGS' response implied "you don't actually watch this stuff, so your argument is invalid".
I'm tired of such responses since it's like saying how men have no right to speak about abortion because they've never experienced childbirth.
Is "experiential fallacy" a term, or does something similar exist? There probably should be a term for it.
I'm not entirely sure it will just "disappear" and be forgotten. Libya was a short intervention that resulted in the flooding of Italy with Africans. Along with the appearance of ISIS, there was an easy pivot to distract from what had just happened.
This has been a decade-long boondoggle since the installation of Porky Poroshenko to turn an important agricultural nation into sandbox for corrupt global politicians to siphon wealth, and a forward shield against a nation that US elites have been in a spiritual war with since Stalin took control of the Soviet Union. Putin finally decided to escalate it into a physical war, and they now are just prolonging it to genocide a group of people to keep the justification going. For all we know, they might use this to pivot towards WW3.
Although, maybe I'm wrong. Historical activist/journalist groups and the like go out of their way to cover up every genocide or mass-culling of the 20th century, except for one special one... Maybe it will be forgotten quickly.
The troll's calling you a jew for being a naysayer and using the wrong terminology.
Either you didn't read the rest of Kienan's post or you're putting words that weren't there. The quotes around the word had a more generalist feel. I didn't see the words "complete" or "absolute" in those sentences.
If the supposed factory is partially responsible, it should no longer occupy any space. Apply the principal to every business that undermines this country.
If true, the supreme irony being that those train cars exist to "protect women from being sexually assaulted".
The core of it is humans mostly don't want to help other humans, unless they're part of their specific tribe/village, to which even then it's just put them in a jail cell or off them, problem solved. The simple competitive nature of survival in the Animal Kingdom leads to assumptions and hard-lines of what is acceptable, and hey, if one person is believed to being incapable of giving back, just get rid of them, more resources for the tribe. Of course, this has changed in post-agrarian civilizations over time, but the fact that there's so many more people around that have these contribution issues, probably due to medical / technological advancement or society being humane, makes this sentiment from the populace even more misanthropic.
Truman
Ah yes, the high-ranking Freemason that had the US nuke two of the most Western/religious cities in Japan within a month of the successful Trinity bombing test.
The narrative that makes the most sense is that the Japan bombings were done to get a quick surrender out of the nation and halt Russian advances against Japan. Basically did not want a repeat of the disastrous partitioning of Germany (thanks FDR) and invading Japan was going to cost a lot of lives (tons of Purple Hearts were made in advance of the invasion and were handed/reused later). But given Truman's background, the selection of cities probably was to stick to Christians (Hiroshima) and Jesuits (Nagasaki), not because "all the major cities were already burned", not much randomness about it.
Uh, yeah, every decade in Japan brought different visual styles. Different ideas of cute, different ideas of sexy, different guidelines of what's acceptable to present. 2020s don't look similar to the 2000s, 2000s don't look similar to the 80s/90s, etc. Hell, you can almost tell which decade something came from by the visual style if you're waste-deep in manga/anime. Different generations like different shit. It's like getting frustrated that a 90s manga doesn't have all the over-the-top page-shitting detailed effects of a 2010s anime.
Economics may play a factor too in paying high quality artists, the top two existed or were in development around the beginning of Japan's permanent recession, the bottom two were made some time after. Said recession also probably changed the outlook on life of many men/women and thus changed what kind of stories they wanted to make. Evolution of computer technology also made the hurdle for standalone or small groups of artists to make their own VNs much lower.
The hatred of moe is a fossilized argument in the weebspace at this point. The common anime styles have shifted that one could find other things to complain about.
I read what was freely available for the article. It's interesting how with the way Hanson writes, he's implying that Jews were completely divorced from what the Soviet Union was at the time of WWII. Even if Stalin had purged all the higher ups who helped create the Soviet Union, the fall to Marxism was still initiated by "what [Hitler] called Jewish Bolshevism", which is probably why the dictator felt them responsible and wanted to eliminate their people entirely.
he’s subtly trying to nudge the forum in a certain direction
If that's truly his retarded goal, he's been doing a very shitty job of it. There have been several newfags this year alone far more successful at forum sliding than him. He's been repeatedly called out before.
I'm actually glad to see at least someone else talk about this. The Syrian Civil War kind of got memory-holed long enough that people forget that a lot of the current fighting in Black/Mediterranean Sea areas is still over oil/gas prices.
