Yeah some big George Kirby Mustafa moment will be caught on video and go super viral. They'll use that to muh poor misunderstood freedom fighters, and then we're green lighting 1.5 mil fighting age muslim men being dumped in Topeka and Omaha, who will be on welfare and handouts in perpetuity.
I feel like he just wanted to change his 'pieces of flair' in his twitter bio. Spice things up from that yellow and blue Ukraine flag to a Israel flag.
You know he doesn't know shit about the details or history.
I know what you're talking about. I remember his before (trip) and after trip videos on that. I gave him some benefit of the doubt because he was out there talking to people on the ground. However, it's bullshit. That guy was spouting commie talking points with no gun to his head. He was an activist thru and thru, nothing to do with caring about native's water, as under his tenure %50+ of it was going to Oprah and golf courses anyhow. Fuck that.
Anyhow I figured he talked to the locals, and they weren't raging at the guy, so he cooled his jets. Yet, it's inauthentic to say the water board guy wasn't an identitarian to begin with, and that influenced his incompetence, or more likely malfeasance.
I think it was between WW1 and WW2 that it solidified into a majority. States had lost a lot of their power. Global rich bros pulling strings in govt and media. That huge 'white feather' smear campaign organized in WW1 is a good example of social engineering and division sowing like we are being hammered with today. We get the breakout of oligarch funded feminism. Prohibition to snatch more control, then even more control as a 'reaction' a sold-solution to the problem they created. We get the creation of untouchable govt agencies.
Isn't that their main doorbuster? How can this be a good decision? I wonder if it's more anti-theft than lack of sale? Like it's been bean-counted that they'd save more money not ordering product, than product ordered-sold-shoplifted?
Or, it's just one step closer to commie land.
I've heard the unreliable narrator trope, but never knew it was common in Asian literature. Good to know.
I'm gonna butcher this paraphrasing, but the traditional Japanese have like this trio of 'self' I guess. The face you show to others, the face you show to your friends/family and the face you show to yourself. It's not dishonorable if you're authentic to one of those, but 'lying' in another.
To us in the west, it just comes across as dishonest/inauthentic when it's outed. The Chinese have a different, but similar outlook. It's just ok to fleese outsiders, but it's not ok to put one over on peers/family. Now.. shit may have greatly changed in the past 20 years, but that was my interpretation of the norms.
My 5 year old commented that microaggressions are more harmful than genocide from freedom fighters. I cried at his open guileless honesty. He truly sees to the core of my truth. I stood up and clapped for him, he gently reminded me to use finger snaps instead of more aggressive clapping. He will make a drag queen very happy some day.
She is literally the most privileged combo in the world right now. What 'hate' has she encountered in the US? Corps will bend over backwards to throw a career at her.
Is she too fucking stupid to know that Asian culture is super polite to your face, until it's time to fight/bargain? They are changing the locks the second she leaves the store. She probably thinks rooftop Koreans are a myth.
Jimmy is open to being wrong on most subjects, except police. He's got some baggage with his dad / family all being cops. Not that I'm a fan of cops as a whole.
The guest host lately, Craig, he's ok. I guess I've missed the 'white people bad' stuff, but he does have a hate boner for US govt.
You kind of hinted at it, but both of them, most of 'the left' in general, rail against government, only to demand more of it. I'll never understand that logic. I think what they really mean is, 'additional government we gain control of' versus blanket, more government.
Personally I'd axe 95% of DC bureacracy and departments.
We called it. Leftists gonna groom.
It reminds me of that CNN reporter (who happened to be like the daughter of a deposed leader) sniffing that backpack in Syria and saying, "Yup, poison. Totally sarin gas." Yeppers." Uhh...
The 'rah rah' is so over the top, it just makes me skeptical immediately. We've already been thru the incubator/baby lie with Iraq. Just chill, corporate media, do the work, get the facts, and if Hamas is axing babies, you'll have your $$$ and popular support for more war.
Instead we get 'trust me, bro'.
Hamas is shitty, I think I'm fine with them getting obliterated. But, it's not like Israel's deep state are angels. In fact they are some of the big players in why shit is so fucked up all over our western world. The people of Palestine (much of them low IQ demons) and Israel (many of them warhawkish devils), the civilians are gonna get swept up in this tide. It's gonna get real medieval and brutal. So best not to fan the flames. Get the facts, report the facts.
I'd have less sympathy of the Palestinian civilians if they could actually leave Gaza and live somewhere else, but they can't. It's a massive prison. However, I am not gonna lie and say they bring a lot to the table. Nobody wants that mass of mouths. Whoever takes them is asking for an epic shit show. So... it's not an easy ask.
I'd have more sympathy for the Israeli if they did less provoking, subterfuge, and sabotage.
There's no fix. It's gonna be a lot of death. It's gonna become a massive ripple of shit everywhere.
It's gonna be an endless money pit, shit show. There's so fixing it until one side makes the monstrous choice of totally eradicating the other.
if you could remove all of the puppet masters, and let the people work it out, you might come to a states-style system (after a good amount of blood). A bunch of middle east countries, joining into a federation, and dividing up their own borders into less hostile shapes. Every 2-3 generations the Jews would overreach and stifle shit so nobody has any purchasing power, and on the flip side the overpopulated male muslims would run amok beyond their borders and maraud to capture wives because their polygamist tribal elders snatched up all their sisters, but at the end of the day they'd go back to their shitholes and chill out for another decade or so.
However, that is not good for business to globohomo, so pretty much impossible. So, endless warcrimes with old weaponry at a markup, it will be.
Yeah their only goal (they being the US Gov, Wall Street, Globohomo) will be to manufacture consent for supporting this conflict. Blank checks need to be written, additional emergency powers need to be grabbed, and lucrative, exclusive contracts need to get handed out to friends and family.
The actual Hamas v Israel shit will get lost in the piles of endless money for another 10 years.
Palestine is actually kind of fucked. The people can't actually leave. It's essentially a massive concentration camp. There's no amount of protesting or voting they can do to change their situation. Israeli's count the number of calories, food and water they get as a population.
Your actual working class Israeli is also kind of fucked. You've gotta dodge terrorist bullets and dirty bombs, after your years of mandatory military service. However, at least the Israeli can leave Israel (in theory).
So I've got no idea how you fix that. It's at least 3000 years of unfixable to date. My overly long winded point is, you don't get any of that nuance from corpo media. You get rah rah send money forever into this hellscape that will never get better, unless one tribe is completely obliterated.
Mattress Girl, Emma Sulkowicz, grifting in a whole new space now. Corporate media is so utterly corrupt now the lying has equalled the ommisions. They don't give a fuck now. Just pretend anything that doesn't help the narrative, doesn't exist. In all but very few cases, there's no mainstream outlet that will try to one up by actually running a counter-narrative story.
Easy example is the Epstein shit. We have that clip of Amy Robach admitting they had everything on him years ago, but just didn't run it. In the not so distant past, a competitor network would have run it and forced their hands if they wanted ratings. Now it's all collusion. No competition. The small cadre who own the entire apparatus, fine with taking a $$ hit as long as they maintain narrative control.
I agree with what you're saying about Whale Simone. Minor mistake, the "if you dont like my comics..." clip is from Kelly Sue Deconnick (if you mean the fake redhead) Simone most certainly Twitter dogpiled on every creator that she felt stood in her way to more gigs. Unpersoning and canceling along with the rest of the NPC mafia.
Heather Antos is the queen of whisper networks and bad editing. Her claim to fame is weaponing the 'milkshake girls' meme and riding that to editorial jobs, while pillorying anyone to the right of Mao in comics with #metoo adjacent shit. This year complaining how poorly comics treats writers and artists, obscuring the fact that she is the one who writes the checks to freelance/contracts, perpetuating the shit rates and fees.
Yeah. There's some talk that Zelenskyy hasn't really been in Ukraine much, just green screening it from safer locations. I imagine they'll just install a new yes-man to NATO. It can't be someone too hardline in either direction, because Blackrock needs to be able to continue to snatch up all that farmland/wheat. They need a puppet gov that will enforce their rebuilding contracts. E.g. debt Ukraine will never be able to pay back, selling off their landmarks and infrastructure and being a serfdom to globohomo.
Blackrock then dumps the wheat at super low prices into the surrounding countries, crashing the profits of the locals, and then buying up their property when they are forced to sell off assets.
It's looking like weapons the US left in Afghanistan, and I would wager the marauders are gonna end up funded by Iran, via the huge cash release from Biden admin. The 6 billion.
I love how NPCs just accept new definitions of vaccine. It doesn't stop anything, you still get the affliction it's supposed to protect you from, and it only works if everyone gets it, and even then it only works for a few months. It'll keep you out of the hospital, we promise. Just like we promised it would stop the spread and has no side effects. But... this time we REALLY mean it. Also, in addition to it, you should also get these 2 other products that .. help. You see, the magical, wonderful, all powerful vaccine needs help. You need to believe in it and be a good boy. If you think the wrong thoughts or don't suck the beautiful axe wound clean, then it wont work anymore and you kill grandma.
They are willing to officially admit to 400,000 dead Ukraine soldiers, but it's likely closer to 500,000. After they get a few more 10's of billions they'll admit a new number. It's not even like the Russians are supermen, it's just the area the Ukrainians are assaulting is minefield and lowground. Any time 2-3 Ukrainians group up, they get picked-up by drone or satellite and auto-artilleried. If you're lucky it's just perma hearing loss and some scars, but it seems it's more likely limb loss and/or death. The Russian artillery outranges the NATO stuff (older gen) by 30-40% and they have air superiority.
The whole fucking thing is retarded anyhow. The region the Russians are squatting on voted to leave Ukraine years ago. So it's not even a true 'We gotta save them!" kinda thing. As, they don't even want to be Ukrainian, especially after the Azov killed 14,000 of them since 2014.
And there is a greater shadow conflict in play. It's two different groups of globalist oligarchs trying to quagmire and waste each other's resources and attention. But, at the end of the day they'd join forces to shit on regular people if it came down to it. The choices the two different groups offer you are: Be a welfare drone in a multicultural NPC farm (the West), or be a low-skill laborer in a robber barony (the East).
Now that the average age of a frontline Ukraine soldier is like 40; Meaning 20-60 year olds being black-bagged off the streets and thrown into the artillery grinder, I would think it wont be too long before Zelenskyy is hauled out into the streets by his own people and flayed, or he sees it coming and flees to Switzerland to one of his new mountain homes.
Barring that, the proxy war only ends when the US stops sending billions.
Racism against non-blacks in sports, or nah? Because a simple spreadsheet on almost any American sport, sorted by demo... Uhh.. How you gonna spin that leftists? I'm guessing they'll focus on swimming, NASCAR, and hockey.
Something something Matriarchy
"But. But. I'm an ally! gargles"
That was the argument I made as well. It's a rural village, Two Rivers, why they fuck did they make it like 2020 London? Everyone would be the same ethnicity after a couple generations. So.. are we to infer this world is super metropolitan in travel? Or, that Two Rivers is highly insular and clannish? It's the same glaring problem with Rings of Power. Why the fuck does this small hobbit clan have ridiculous levels of disparity? In a theme (fantasy) that already requires you to suspend disbelief, it just sucks you outta the show.
Though with WoT, that was just a drop in the bucket. The opening montage already slayed the magic system and heirarchy. I didn't make it through the first episode it was such trash. Rand not even feeling like a main character.
I haven't been able to gauge if my neighborhood is fired up or just 'whatever' about this shit, but I am surprised how many people are in the 'I've seen this before' camp. Like, some actual memory that this shit becomes insipid and there's no fucking fixing it. All you end up with is 3 new parts of town you can't go to anymore because every store turns halal and Arabic from the massive refugee dumps.
I've got some activists in my neighborhood who fill their yard with Biden, BLM, and Protect Trans Kids signs. I wanna put some 'Trans Kids Are Sexy' signs in their yard, and see if they unironically keep them up. Maybe poison the well against them further. Accelerate at the very least.
