“Hmmm…we lost an election that was basically symbolic and the worst I might ever face is getting kicked off social media for saying the gamer word…I know! Better start an insurrection and get myself hunted down by the largest surveillance state that’s ever existed!” These people are fucking rubes who literally can’t log off or just ignore cultural shit they don’t like.
Except it doesn’t. The states that are counted due to the electoral college are predominantly white, which makes them hardly a racial minority in the US. The electoral college made a modicum of sense when voting was scattered at best, but it’s yet another relic of a time long since passed. “Minorities” in the colloquial sense is a liberal platitude to turn black and brown and LGBTQ folks into a monolith that is easily weaponized against itself like in the image above (“If I’m a white guy living in the inner city then I’m a minority!!!” Which, locally, yes, but broad scale, no). The EC is bad and outdated because it distances the people from democracy. And while chuds love to trot out “we’re a republic, not a democracy!” a republic is not possible without some form of democracy because who chooses the representatives then? A republic is a democracy. You just vote for a representative to vote for shit you don’t want to be bothered to directly vote on, which means we’re not a direct democracy, but no country has ever been that because it would be insanely unwieldy even with the internet! I wish I could be buzzed at work because at least then I could argue this with a sense of confidence and coherence Lol.
Love to be 18 years old, seeing some of the harshest combat in human history and going home to bury my trauma in liquor and a facade of a marriage. I’ve studied WWII for a long ass time and even had a job interviewing the old boys that fought and they’re still emotionally fucked from what they saw and did. These pricks who think that WWII was some noble crusade can fuck all the way off; it was a bloody struggle to stop (or at least mitigate) fascism. I hope to God we never have to do it again but, oopsie doodle the Soviet Union collapsed and the US is teetering on the edge of going all blood and soil so…yay. Maybe Millennials and Zoomers will be seen as worthwhile subjects once we’re all fucking traumatized from barbaric guerrilla warfare.
My man has never had sex with a woman much less done a good job of it. If my wife has more than one or two it’s typically time to tap out. Like, love muscles get tired lol and fast. 13 orgasms though?! At least make your lie believable!
Christmas, the celebration of the birth of the messiah or in a secular sense a day to celebrate our common humanity, selflessness and goodwill to all being celebrated like this is just depressing. Imagine taking a holiday like that and twisting it like this. Just…fuck man. General Sherman better be the Horseman of War because this shit is ridiculous.
That article was written by a Chinese dad and you can’t convince me otherwise.
I don’t see it happening to be quite honest. I know the rebel government wants it, and the US will continue using them as an outpost for the foreseeable future, but if Beijing ever says, “hey, that’s ours and we’d like it back,” I could see a struggling American empire saying, “Fuck it, go ahead.” Also lol at the idea of China wanting war with the US and not vice versa, or does China do annual naval drills with Cuba in the Gulf of Mexico and I’m just not aware?
My concern is that there will be two vaccines: a free one and a paid for one. The free one will be a rushed job with potentially serious, unknown side effects and a lesser efficacy whereas the paid for one will be exorbitantly expensive but will be proven safe and incredibly effective. While a vaccine is helpful, what really help is the longer systemic treatment of the pandemic: two month hard shutdown with freezes on all loans and bills, a cash stimulus for individuals and businesses, contact tracing and free treatment of COVID along with mandatory testing. But of course that wouldn’t happen because you might have to seize some wealth to pay for things and you might have to tell people to stay home with their spouses and children who they secretly hate.
I get the visceral reaction to the Japanese atrocities and wanting some kind of punishment, but the bombs and the firebombing campaign weren’t it man. Some factory worker or some housewife in Hiroshima didn’t deserve it any more than their counterpart in Nanking. We should’ve let the USSR invade in the north while we blockaded the south and then hosed the entire imperial government along with the fucking emperor. We didn’t do enough to kill fascism in Japan, we just waged a genocidal campaign against the people because Curtis LeMay was a psycho.
