This Hitlerite country has fundamentally warped and evil values, and continues to be horrible blight on the earth. I pray that I live to see this evil empire finally die in disgrace.

Zionazis have done more to advance antisemitism in ~ 2 months than an entire generation of neo-nazis could have achieved in a lifetime.

Damn, they were bad all along.

Jesus, a transphobe, loser, and parasite.

Lol, you’re a transphobe and a loser.

Well the strike is making it clear that nobody is owed cheap writing either, Billy. Also, if the comparaively tiny A24 can afford their demands without issue or resistance, there is no excuse for companies like WB, netflix, and the like.

Critical support to Grayzone. I don’t like Grayzone very much, but I think GoFundMe are basically functioning as stooges for the state department in this case.

Wall-in Texas now before they become the world’s most off-putting and annoying climate refugees.

New Vegas had the glassiest eyes, like dolls’ eyes.

lol and then he just tabs back in brother you spirit is broken lol

Reminder that whataboutism was literally coined (originally as “whataboutery”) by some absolute cull Irish journalist who supported the British during the Troubles. He needed to invent a way to not get constantly owned by everybody around him when he’d bitch about the IRA, and people would just point out what the British forces had done that either directly spurred the retaliation he was whining about, or things the Brits did that were just blatantly worse.

I know Ben Burgis kind of sucks, but he had a good article about “whataboutism” and the abuse of crying whataboutism to get out of basic calls for moral consistency:

From the article:

"

The original phrase was whataboutery. It was coined in Ireland in the 1970s. When supporters of continued British rule in Ireland’s northern six counties would condemn the violence of the IRA, Irish Republicans would respond by bringing up atrocities perpetrated in those six counties by the British state and allied loyalist paramilitaries, and this in turn would be dismissed as evasive “whataboutery.”

It’s true enough that the same dynamic played out in the global propaganda war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Americans would accuse the Soviets of human rights abuses, the Soviets would respond by bringing up the numerous respects in which this charge was hypocritical, and the American response would characterize this as an unprincipled evasion.

There even was a special phrase used during the Cold War to describe the Soviets’ response to criticism. That phrase wasn’t “whataboutism.” It was “And You Are Lynching Negroes”—since that was the Soviets’ go-to example.

The difference matters. “Whataboutism” is an inoffensive word that doesn’t suggest any particular example of western hypocrisy on human rights. If we were still talking about an “And You Are Lynching Negroes” “fallacy,” every use of the phrase would remind listeners that the Soviets had a point. [emphasis mine]

It’s also hard to reconcile the assumption that “whataboutism” is always a bad thing with the inconvenient historical fact that a widespread desire to deprive the Communists of exactly this kind of talking point seems to have played a meaningful role in weakening white resistance to the civil rights movement and ultimately hastening the end of Jim Crow. If anything, it would have been better if the embarrassment had run deeper. If one is annoyed by the Soviets using American lynchings to deflect criticism, the best way to end the tactic would be to stop American lynchings. Still, anti-lynching legislation consistently failed in Congress, and it was not until this year that an anti-lynching bill passed both houses.

Every Mario game. I’ve just never been into that series, the characters, the art style, etc.

There are no mines, it’s all just shovels. The Ukrainian forces step on the shovels and get hit in the face. Russian shovel technology is too advanced for NATOists to overcome.

Best case scenario she just goes over what she fucked up when trying to learn about trans people.

So what I keep hearing is Bray Wyatt basically died from an existing heart problem that had been seriously worsened by a COVID infection, which then led to a sudden heart attack that killed him at 36.

It’s funny, because it’s hard to think of something more radicalizing than one’s first shitty job / jobs (and for a lot of us that experience was younger than 21, so now I have to assume the person who made that post had a cushy first job at dad’s company when they were that age).

It’ll sell better than the “I ❤ Pogroms!” shirt did.

I think fromsoftware owns the rights to Tenchu, so if (hopefully when) they bring those back, sekiro-esque swordplay would have a good place there, albeit as a secondary to the stealth gameplay.

RIP Bray Wyatt, shit day for wrestling.
