They are tankies.

tankies are generally people who believe in marxist-leninist, or some other form of socialist beliefs. on its own, it isnt a problem

but these people are also intrinsically gullible consumers and advocates of Russian propaganda, because they cant seem to understand Russia stopped being a socialist country 30-40 years ago, and its just a capitalist mafia state now. But they are programmed to associate their ideology with "The motherland".

America bad, West bad, NATO bad, therfor, anything that opposes them must be good?

advocate for the people who will kill you without a second thought.

Thats .ml and tankies for you

the Ukraine invasion from the perspective of fascists, dictators and lunatics, is an opportunity to normalize the public to the concept of industrialized war between nation states.

there are certainly a few countries in the world with aggressive and warmongering regimes in total control, who intend to shoot their way to getting their resources.

The New World Conservatives or whatever the F you want to call this wave of MAGA and associated people, all look to Russia as the role model.

They aren't conservatives, they're fascists and gangsters who hijacked conservatism as a vehicle for unlimited power.

Uncommon Ubisoft associated W (Ubisoft is a French company so its not surprising TBH)

thanks for staying home moron.

rogan is a stupid person's idea of a smart guy.

rogan himself used to admit he was a dumb guy with laymans opinions, the problem was other dumb people saw him as a messiah and started taking his shit-take water cooler opinions as smart, and then he started thinking his opinions were correct.

I dont see any on here I would swear by.

I have taken a liking to the Pilot B2Ps, they are made of recycled water bottles, I liked them simply for the fact that they're the one type of pen we have in abundance at the office that no one else bothers to steal for some reason.

I like the Staples TRU RED series too.

what the hell is wrong with me, a year ago I'd be obsessing over some video game or hobby and now im discussing my pen model preferences, I think I've crossed the proto-boomer threshold

Oh Im sorry, I thought you all quit.

My answer is going to include a short story as a pretext.

In Canada in the 90s, we used to have these commercials from an organization called "Concerned Childrens Advetisers" the commercials were about a variety of things, some being positive reinforcement about self esteem, others were more on the nose like not eating glue....

there was one important one that would come on a lot called "The North American House Hippo". And for about 60 seconds it would tell kids about tiny hippopotamus that come out in your kitchen at night, eat crumbs of dropped food, and make beds under your fridge or in the pantry or something... At the end of the commercial, the narrator says something to the effect of "That was an interesting story, but Its not real, not everything you read in a book or see on the TV is real." the internet wasn't mentioned because it wasn't widespread enough yet.. but it had a simple lesson. Not everything you see in media is real.

that lesson hasn't been transfered over to the majority of people, or more likely, most people are not responsible enough to be trusted with the internet because they dont know how to filter, they dont know how to think critically when presented with information online, and its even worse now in the age of deepfakes and AI, that even the smart ones get fooled now.

Collectively we're dumber because people have allowed their public facebook comment section keyboard warrior persona, to take over their real lives. Who people are in person and who people are online, are two different individuals, but the online persona is the one who is in charge. When we are in public, we usually revert to our social norms, respect each other. But when you're a keyboard warrior, your impotent rage and urge to yell the N word and other slurs is unchecked because there isnt anyone present to break your nose for saying or doing something antisocial or arrogant.

Remind me, who's the one saying people have _____ Derangement Syndrome?

You dont want 90% of the shitheads on reddit.

They've been dissapearing for a long time, if they were an animal, they'd be somewhere between Endangered, and Critically Endangered..

The eye-opener now has been that Reddit has turned into corpo/authortiarian boot licking trash, and Discord is planning on going publicly traded. (Read More Corpo bootlicking trash)

Eh. We've just bought ourselves a decade or two of industrialized warfare and martial law by the looks of things. That will have to be survived first.

I dont think people grasp that he doesnt really care about tesla anymore, his shareholders are having a stroke, but he personally, has other sources of wealth that are more important to his megalomania now, namely starlink and spacex, and all the government subsidies that come from them.

at the end of the day, tesla is just a car company, and when you're a megalomaniac trying to design the entire world to your liking, thats small fry stuff

so long as bibi, trump, and the puppet master putin and all of their respective ghouls are in charge, Im afraid every man woman and child in gaza is living on spent time.

I dunno your demographic, but the pervailing sentiment is that SL was cool when people were ignorant and impressionable teens and young adults, but as we aged and grew up, it stopped being cool, and most people moved on to other things.

I feel like Nigel Farage is kind of yesterdays news in this regard.

you routinely go on social media and cheerlead for butchers committing genocide in ukraine and gaza, amongst other things.

terminal affluenza. doesnt understand that actions have consequences.

so long as trump, bibi, putin, and their sycophants are in power, pretty much every man woman and child in gaza is living on borrowed time.

Who would have known. The russian mafia puppet government that's doing it's best impression of the New world order stereotype.. is suggesting a population cull

the technology has improved tenfold, the game looks and runs so different now that its virtually unrecognizable, but the communities are shit, the user count is at best half as many as it was in the late 00s to early 10s. and most of the people online are either just parked in a shitty club, usually AFK, hiding in their private land, innnocuously buying stuff for their house or character, lagging the place up with scripted farms and such... a very small number of worthwhile game / activity and roleplay communities (RP is still basically a game...) .. and most everyone else is probably e-banging..
