Replacement is the goal. The UN even had a web page about it.

I remember playing the likes of Fallout & Fallout 2 and Shadow Warrior before I hit puberty. Does that count? It means I could get a bit nostalgic for when Fallout wasn't dog shit.

I'd rather hear arguments for not canceling Netflix that don't sound like mindless consumerism. I can think of a couple good reasons to cancel.

Because asking tyrants politely is futile, at best. Tyrants have never been particularly known to give up their rule peacefully.

That's also a false dichotomy. There are other alternatives to tyranny that aren't "terroristic mob rule".

They could just make it so that you get registered for the draft when you register to vote. Sort of like they already do with jury duty. Only problem there is that the draft is currently a separate thing from voting right now.

The West really got fucked by China’s virus.

More like got fucked by their own leaders and representatives using the virus as an excuse to seize more power. Certainly can't punish China either. Too much profit in keeping up business with China.

If modern governments weren't all so corrupt, we'd be a lot better off. Doesn't matter who you blame for bribing them, because the one taking the bribe will always be the one most to blame.

They're a dime a dozen, regardless of what the nickname is. I just wish Nixon had never opened trade with them. Good chance they would've collapsed by now if He hadn't.

I think it's just a bit of dain bramage, nothing to worry about.

Looking at the general competence of the ones in charge, I'm leaning towards "Brazil" being a more accurate prediction.

This is the same guy that didn't believe men could wind up being forced to pay child support for some other guy's kid.

Dear u/TheImpossible1

When a man is said to be the father of a child in order to claim child support, it then becomes His burden to deny the claim. If He fails to make a claim within a certain amount of time, the government will go after Him for money. The reason behind this is simple. The government takes a cut of all child support money paid through them. This means they have an incentive to after the guy with money. There's also zero incentive to go after the biological father, as there's no penalty for going after the wrong guy.

*I know this is insanely far off topic, but I wanted to post it for both the Imp and anyone else naive enough to not realize how this works. Might delete it and send a PM later.

You ought to look up "identity theft". It's how a number of illegals get jobs too. They don't need to have a social security number when they can use someone else's.

One of my main criticisms of Trump was that he sat back and allowed California other deep blue shitholes to violate Federal law, so I won't criticize Presiden Harris for doing something to make sure the Federal government actually has the authority it's supposed to.

You're vastly overstating how much power the federal government is supposed to have. Although Reagan already proved they have too much power, when He used the highway funds to force the legal drinking age to 21.

First thing to come to mind was Tiananmen Square, but I'm sure there won't exactly be a shortage of examples for anyone willing to look. Your example is better though, since the China has never been known to have armed citizens.

They believe what they're told. Twitter didn't ban the NPC meme because it was innacurate. They banned it because they were worried their useful idiots might start questioning themselves.

Reagan was literally an actor before He got into politics. He had practice at pretending to be what He wasn't.

There's still the possibility that they're lying in order to help sell it as the huge thing it wasn't. Gotta make a big deal of it all the time, or else the normies might get wise. Although I wouldn't be shocked if some of them have bought into their own BS and are effectively scaring themselves.

I already wrote this here once, so to quote myself.

Their latest phrase seems to be "anti-racist". Their definitions of racism make it nigh impossible for non-whites to be racist, and likewise impossible for whites to not be racist. Once you consider it that way, it all starts to seem a bit transparent.

In case anyone needs me to spell it out for them, anti-racist is just double speak for anti-white.

I know there were a few that might've been considered on the right, but they were hardly the biggest names. Some of the biggest "anti violent video game" types of the 90's were Tipper Gore, Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton. Seems pretty far from "right wing" to me. Tipper Gore was big on censoring music too.

People who use steroids sometimes refer to it as being juiced. How did I never make the connection? You're a genius!

All they need is a disaster, either natural or manufactured. There's footage from Katrina of National Guard forcing people to abandon their homes and also confiscating firearms.

People talk like they won't do this, because they're too stupid to realize it's already happened.

Remember kids, the only reason "real communism has never been tried" is because they always rename communism's inevitable failures to something else. See also "state capitalism", because they're always just one more try from their perfect little commie utopia.

It can happen, it just generally takes a very long time. There's a reason the Soviet Union is spoken of in the past tense. I suspect the CCP would've joined them, but they've been propped up by other nations outsourcing their manufacturing to them.

This is entirely accurate. Look at any push for "gun control". Always a cacophony of "We need to something NOW!" and "Don't you dare stop to question if it will actually accomplish the alleged goal, or you support murder!". Always demanding action immediately is a good indicator of a scam in general.
