  • Which drives up (actual) antisemitism. Which leads to (actual) pogroms. Which leads to American Jews (and others around the world) moving to Israel.

    Aka: all part of the Zionist plan.

    And for any liberal dinguses reading this going “heuh heuh wow look how racist the left is! Heuh heuh!” I’m speaking not about the Jewish Zionists concentrated in Israel, the US and EU. I’m talking about the majority of Zionists… evangelical Christians. Rabid racists who support actions like this from the US state and other Western governments in hopes that it does exactly what I wrote above. They want all the Jews in America to go live in Israel until the rapture happens and they’re all sent to Hell or whatever specific fanfic they choose to believe. It serves their goal of making America more of a WASP ethnostate, emptying it of non-Christians that they hate, and feeds their psychotic religious fervor.

    It’s actually incredible how many specific things that you can point at that make America suck have been upheld by or caused by evangelicals


  • What if I told you there are allowed to write this because it serves an overall goal of heavily regulating (even more so) online communications

    Absolutely not a coincidence that all this stuff “leaks” to small groups of “Internet friends.”

    Maybe I’m being too conspiratorial, but it does seem like a narrative is being crafted to declare all the apparently not fully compromised sites (reddit, facebook, twitter being fully compromised) as “hotbeds for terror and treason!” as we enter this apparently-inevitable hot war between US/“the west” and Russia/China/Iran. They already spy on absolutely everything… but they want more.


  • Perhaps I missed some details, but I believe the argument was a bit different (but also probably included what you said). They wanted to use the other convicted pedophile, his buddy, but they feared a jury wouldn’t trust a convicted pedophile. I think these were both effectively speculation though since the feds never formally acknowledged much of it. We saw the evidence and we knew they were pursuing charges… and then it went poof with little reason why


  • If she sees this comment though… might speed the process up

    Excellent 5D chess move

    But on a more serious note, this sounds like an infinite fountain of resentment for the two of you. From the outsider POV here, it’s easy to say “just leave.” But as someone on the outside who has been on the inside… you gotta take action. Now or later, this stuff tends to explode.

    Results will be a quick burn end of the relationship or she comes to acknowledge the truth (that criticism of Israel doesn’t inherently have anything at all to do with Jewish people. And also thinking it does is into itself pretty antisemitic even if tons of people think it anyway). You either save yourself years of internal torment and resentment (and probably same on her end, to be fair) or you have a healthier, more mature relationship where you can respect each other and learn and grow together.

    It’s your life ultimately. Why spend it with a hovering cloud of resentment over your main relationship and source of human contact? Unless it genuinely doesn’t bother you. Then do whatever. Do whatever anyway. It seems to bother you though considering draws circle this whole-ass post.

    And the sunk cost fallacy is a bad logical fallacy with investments and such. When using it regarding a relationship… it’s only going to get more “sunk.” More cats, maybe kids, who knows. I don’t want to boil relationships down to dollars, but it’s safe to say long term committed relationships don’t tend to have partners become less “bought-in” over time.


  • Cop unions are “fake” because cops are class traitors. My opinion anyway. But yes no one considers their endorsement because obviously they always support the most right wing candidate, usually the republican… although now days they’re literally both full pro-cop parties

    And i assume the person isn’t talking about the union as an entity or its leadership but rather the unionized workers who belong to the union. Many voted for Trump. Not that surprising considering Biden offered very little to them and fully failed to communicate what he did offer (and Harris too later on). When the entire election is social issues vs social issues and class issues are effectively off the table (in any meaningful way) then people who don’t pay much attention of course vote for the hog taking a better social issues story for them to believe in.

    Literally the meme of Eric shooting Hannibal then asking “Why would Donald Trump do this?” Eric is the DNC/libs and Hannibal is “the working class” which includes people who actually work for a living. They blame Trump for their own failure to reject neoliberal capitalism that has been failing 90% of the population for 40-50 years.


  • Trump is the type of anti-war that Himmler would’ve agreed with. If you simply eliminate your entire “enemy”… then there is no more war.

    Considering Hinkle has seemingly purposely modeled his own branding after the political party Himmler belonged to… I’m not sure what his issue here is. Maybe he just wants to keep the genocides domestically. “Why are we helping others do genocide when we have so much genocide to do here!” That sounds like something a “national socialist” oh I mean “nationalist communist,” whatever Dinkle Dipshit is calling himself now, would agree with.

    I took a VERY small peek at reddit stormfront just now.

    There’s a Jimmy Kimmel crying video upvoted w/ 20K likes on the politics sub.

    First comment is along the lines of “I saw voters interviewed and they’re so fucking dumb! They didn’t even know who was running!”

    Yeah, Americans are ignorant dinguses. Welcome to America.

    If they want random Bob on the street to know who is running and care then maybe, juuuuust maybe, the message can’t only be “Nothing will change. Everything is great already! And if you don’t vote for me, America will be Nazi Germany! But no, I won’t actually do anything about the guy we call Adolf Hitler. That would be wrong!”

    It needs to be “Trump bad” sure, ok. Then also a few bare minimum first 100 days promises. Trump promised the hogs escalated deportations, killing drug dealers, finishing the genocide quickly so they don’t have to look at it. Adolf shit.

    Maybe the answer can’t be “I will deport… less? maybe? immigrants for no apparent reason.” It needs to be “Trump is following the same fascist logic of axis leaders during WWII. He’s called fellow Americans, documented people living and working legally in the United States, vermin and poison. Instead of dehumanizing these people, I will be granting them citizenship which will be a boon to our economy and communities.”

    Instead of “Trump wants to repeal (shitty) Obamacare!” It needs to be “Obamacare was a start, but it didn’t go anywhere far enough. I will be working in the first 100 days to lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55. With that done, I will work with Congress when possible, but go around them when required, to further lower the age of eligibility with an aim towards everyone being eligible.”

    Solid, plausible promises of things she could have forced through quickly with additional long term plans. You meet the promise, and if you get the extra part that’s just free real estate for re-election…

    But clearly liberals, democrats, have absolutely no desire to improve things. They only wish to go rightward… but do it “respectfully.” When the SWAT team kicks in your neighbor’s door looking for an alleged “illegal immigrant” that Nosey Martha down the street falsely reported to JD’s Gestapo because he “looked a little tan”… liberals want the agents and cops to say “Please, drop to your knees with your hands in the air, motherfuckers!” as they flashbang the baby crib and, of course, shoot Fido 5 times in the chest with their MP5.



  • They’re literally all talking about, for example, whatever a dozen eggs cost in 2018. I don’t honestly remember so let’s just say $1.75. And now they’re like $3. Or they were the other day.

    If your job doesn’t pay like double what it did in 2018, and for most people that’s the case, then this is approaching catastrophe every time you have to buy groceries. Exponentially so if you have kids.

    On top of that of the cost of housing skyrocketed from 2020-2022-ish and has remained high while wages haven’t gone up enough to meet that rise.

    People are focused on the end numbers too much as well. A phenomenon we can all see and recognize in older people. “When I was a kid a car was only $5000 right off the lot!” type shit. They can’t reckon with and accept the $50K price tags now. They just want number go down. It doesn’t matter to them much that the entire economy is designed for inflation. They don’t seem to understand the absolute dollar amount is irrelevant. This isn’t just a hog or lib thing either… it’s a flaw in the logic of nearly every “normal” person who doesn’t immerse themselves in stuff everyday. They see big numbers, hear media man repeat “big numbers are big!”, and Trump promises, vaguely but also directly, to make those big numbers small numbers again.

    Maybe I’m misinterpreting what people are saying though. Maybe they would be ok with large pay raises and the prices basically just staying where they are until things are realigned to a realistic level. But Trump nor Kamala are capable or willing to apply the governmental pressures required for that change. Because they both don’t believe in governmental powers except for killing and otherwise harming people.

    Everything will continue to get shittier and shittier as tariffs take effect which will cause an unnecessary and un-absorbable inflationary effect due to lack of American domestic manufacturing. Grocery prices are going to go up especially on produce if all the people currently working in the industry, doing the manual labor, are suddenly being deported en masse instead of being given citizenship and proper pay.

    Maybe Trump has deals with industry leaders like “let me do my fashy shit, you keep prices low for now, and we can set this stuff in stone for down the line.” But that’s way too much credit given to him. The man who hired John Bolton and was surprised to find he was an insane warhawk…



  • If I had a lib coworker that talked all the time excitedly about the election I’d feel compelled to be the buzzkill and keep mentioning she doesn’t differ from Trump on any actual substantive policy. I’d also have to keep reminding them that anything they seem to hallucinate about what Kamala wants to do as president, Biden and her could’ve done for four years now… or right now! That includes everything from ending the war/genocide in Palestine, ending the supplying of arms for endless war in Ukraine/Russia, ending the supplying of arms to Taiwan for war with China to small beans domestic stuff like unilaterally declaring cannabis to be changed to schedule 4 substance or just remove it all together… the USAG (at direction from their boss, the president) can tell the DEA they have 24 hours to do it then just keep firing and replacing the heads until someone complies. Also Biden has made ZERO moves or attempts at reckoning with SCOTUS as an entity of the overturning of Roe. He hasn’t had a law pushed to the house or senate hasn’t arrested any obviously corrupt justices, governors, etc. Pretty clear he absolutely does not care. Is Kamala gonna be minecrafting in Minecraft select justices day 1? I doubt it. My liberal coworker would either kill me or themselves before long.

    I guess I could do the same to a Trump supporter. “I dunno. Trump seems like a pussy now. Why is he exactly the same as the democrats?”




  • Literal US state propaganda.

    From the site:

    Throughout 2023, the Wilson Center’s scholarship-driven, nonpartisan analysis provided critical context to the world’s most pressing challenges. With a focus on Ukraine’s place in Europe, the Israel-Hamas war, and the state of democracy around the globe, Wilson Center staff, scholars, and its expansive community of multi-disciplinary experts responded to quickly moving world events to bring points of clarity.

    (Emphasis mine in the quote. An especially egregious part of their bullshit)

    Aka “We immediately went to work manufacturing bullshit narratives and talking points for our boys up top to repeat forever.”

    Speaking of our boys up top, “Honorable” Antony Blinken is a big fan! (About as honorable as the dump I’m taking while reading this…)

    I thought state propaganda was bad? Bloodyhands Blinken would say that, I bet. Odd. Incredibly odd!

    Also their address is literally

    Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center One Woodrow Wilson Plaza

    Two of the absolute worst “humans” to ever walk this earth enshrined forever in a “center” used to justify baby murder forever. Honestly, I’m gonna say “appropriate choice.” Their legacies will be just as evil and blood soaked as their lives were. Sometimes I wonder if this is some sick dark humor by the underlings who help come up with names and shit or if they’re all oblivious to these things.


  • “Relatively wealthy”

    It’s probably appropriate for Americans (and Amero-weebs aka “guys who think they’re on the team but absolutely are not” (looking at you Eastern Europeans who love America)) to stop this cope over PERSONAL WEALTH and consumption as a measure of a nationstate’s wealth overall.

    By every measurement I can think of and data exists for, China’s population is “wealthier” than America. Oh, except in the areas of, you know, the shitty things. Like concentrating wealth in a top 1% and top top 0.1% of families. Or endlessly consuming shit for no purpose other than to distract from your meaningless life. As far as what I’d call true measures of a nation’s wealth, things like (nutritious) caloric intake and availability, literacy rates, availability of healthcare (meaning the cost as well), child and adult educational opportunities and attainment, public works projects like building roads, energy grids and production ability, building rail and high tech trains… on and on. America has been declining for at least ~50 years in all of those areas. As in it just gets worse and worse. While China has been going up and up and skyrocketing in the recent decade or two.

    This kinda cuts into the roots of the “GDP discussion” or rather the insistence of capitalist-minded (or biased) economists and random people on using the irrelevant GDP figure to “show” that capitalism and the US/EU specifically are “superior” economically. Goes back to the USSR as well and now days it’s still moronically being clung to. A measurement of economic consumption means nothing about the “wealth” of nations. Unless your only measure of wealth is how many PlayStations can you buy…

    Of course all the discussions of economics between US/China also leaves out the obvious history of one nation being a settler colonial slave state turned into dominant imperial power post-world war 2. That only makes the current state of the US more pathetic. The biggest head start perhaps in history, built on immeasurable human suffering, only to throw it all away so that Elon can jump on stage and try to do an X with his body, while people are homeless on the streets and the state can only find endless funding to support genocide. I don’t think future civilizations (or whatever species might replace humans as the dominant intelligent life form if we blast ourselves from existence) will even believe what they are reading when they learn about the last few hundred years. It’s just beyond comprehension


  • I’m excited for the yearly one gaming stream of Hasan’s that I will watch eventually. He manages to make these otherwise repetitive and dull games that haven’t really been innovated upon in… 15 years now?.. somewhat interesting by playing his conservative character and sometimes pointing out the insane propaganda these corporations smash into games targeted at teens/young adults (prime propaganda targets)


  • He’s correct because he knows how to measure the temperature of the room (aka most Americans, most PEOPLE, do not like or support “war” generically. It has to be repackaged, propagandized, and sometimes done covertly to convince enough people to not care or accept it as necessary and support it)

    The problem is (and not saying you did this) people hear him shit on Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, Bolton, even Biden/Harris, etc. and they leap to this false conclusion that Trump is actually anti-war and not just speaking the words we (almost everyone not invested in Raytheon and shit) want to hear.

    In some hyper specific scenarios Trump was less pro-war, but in other ways he was just setting the inevitable conditions for war to break out (for example in Palestine by continuing to encourage a Saudi-Israeli alliance without regard to the fate of Palestinians).

    So, again, not saying you said or meant that. But I do hear and see some of the most annoying hoglets online saying that all the time. If Trump was anti-war he wouldn’t have just fired Bolton from his job he’d have fired him from a cannon directly into Tehran so they can prosecute him for all his various thousands of crimes. Or send him to Venezuela.

    Maybe send Hillary, Pelosi and Biden on a trip to Beijing with a little phone call to Xi while they’re en route that he gives his blessing to arrest them and prosecute.

    I actually wish Trump would do this shit because not only would it be hilarious and deserved by the “victims” (most of the politicians especially the national level ones deserve this in some way or another) but it would be actually, literally, “anti-war” as in removing the warhawk pieces of shit. He’d probably be the most popular president ever with normal people too and absolutely despised by the media and also the “deep state.” Ironic that he claims to want to drain the swamp, yet never even tried. I hope he does try! (Although this is prime “monkey’s paw” territory… Bolton lands in Iran around some anti-IRGC dissidents and manages to pull on old CIA adjacent ties in the region to organize them and overthrow the current government there and Bolton is made the new Shah…)


  • Here I checked and yeah you clicked the “ad” link for some direct download shit.

    You want to click either .torrent download or magnet link. I don’t know anything about the direct download stuff. Don’t click that. (Yes, it’s a torrent site, there’s annoying misleading links and ads. The torrent files absolutely 100% work. I listen to stuff from there all the time)
