If you want to make an outlandish claim, it's best to do so from a place of institutional power and make the claim unfalsifiable.

Earth did a lot of heavy lifting in 200 years if Somalia was churning out spaceship engineers.

Pakistan is a former British protectorate, but you shouldn't want Pakis overrunning Britain.

I, for one, think it'd be funny if the city of New York loses $8T in "value" overnight.

The TL;DW version is: "Look at what happens in failed states. When you purge competent people from the economy or bar them from doing economically efficient labor, you get abandoned hospitals, barren farms, unproductive factories, a power grid that can't reliably keep the lights on, and it happens in less than a generation."

All it takes is a little familiarity with Rhodesia and South Africa to understand just how fast running off all the people at the head of the Pareto distribution and giving their positions to people from the tail leads to complete collapse.

Not a crazy person, just someone who noticed a group that even a gay black troon can't criticize isn't on the list.

"I gotta be honest with you. I'm kinda retarded."

How does everyone like their bananas? Because that seems to be our republic's main export now.

Rationed, like everything in a fascist dictatorship.

There isn't a mask on the planet that can filter exhalant for airborne virii. The best you could do is wear SCBA gear and protect yourself.

Bathhouse Barry never seemed like the "cleaning my gun" type of father.

That's because he's not a father. The kids are props, and Nesbitt & Blanchard are the real parents.

In addition, oryx documents visually confirmed losses of more than 10,000 Russian vehicles. It doesn't seem possible to have only a few people killed per vehicle destroyed - even just counting the crew of the vehicle gets you up there pretty fast.

I would recommend checking out some of the Chieftain's videos. Specifically his "Oh bugger. The tank is on fire." segments.

It takes a lot less to disable a vehicle - destroying a tire or breaking a tread - than to destroy a vehicle, but a crew will abandon a disabled vehicle long before it is destroyed by the next tank crew who thinks... "Is that vehicle dead, or just at a stop? Better put some HE through it to make sure."

The short version: not every destroyed vehicle means all crew died onboard.

For Europeans, he's reasonably based. For Americans, his opinions are simply frozen in a time before the institutional Left's control metastasized, talking about how great it was to only have stage 2 cancer.

It does. That's a big cat's snout.

I'd wager the AI that drew this didn't know any better, and the person who asked isn't a very good artist.

Edit: look at the left hand. It's anatomically impossible to have the pinky wrapped around while the index and middle fingers are rotated 90 degrees from the typical grip orientation. 100% an AI fudge-up. It's also missing an ear.

I think all of the people have woken up, but I'm not sure what we're going to call those who haven't and never will.
