Liberals almost seem to get off threatening me with death camps if I don't cheer for their specific warmongers.
"No, you don't understand, Harris is only going to let Israel nuke Middle Eastern cities, instead of everybody everywhere, so you have to be excited to vote for her, she's fleek, she's brat, she's
yeah...
She oversubscribes to great man theory, to the point that she blames Hitler for the violence in 300 year old German fairy tales... There's no getting through to her on any of this. Besides being absolutely insane, she's actually quite nice.
I only play Breath of the Wild to ride around on horseback and enjoy the scenery and music. So I genuinely can't wait to play this.
I'd be able to stop time too if it weren't for the government holding me back!!
It's funny how American nationalists expect this hegemony to maintain itself while they simultaneously let corporations strip every last piece of copper out of the country's walls.
It's wanting to sell your cake to the highest bidder, and eat it too. Ya can't. Ya sold it. It's gone. And the buyer has no interest in selling it back, instead we're all going on cake subscriptions for $17.99 a month.
My mom is a Jewish Russian-American, 3rd generation, granted, but she regularly brings up her Russian heritage in weird self-flagellation shows of devotion to the State Department. If anything reminds her that Putin exists, anything at all, she goes on long genocidal rants about how Russians are evil and there's something wrong with their brains - to prove she's not a hypocrite she then says she'd volunteer to be executed herself if that was the only way to get rid of all Russians.
I pointed out that she is - verbatim - repeating Nazi rhetoric about people they tried to exterminate, and my mother, who, again, is Jewish on top of ethnically Russian, starts going in circles about how no, PUTIN is the next Hitler, because Russians are evil, we're evil, oh my god we're so evil, what is WRONG with us?!
Rachel Maddow has turned my mother into a hysterical gibbon and I don't know how to fix it.
We have to save American Democracy, a political system that affords you no democratic power over anything whatsoever.
I like pointing out that calling Mitch McConnell a turtle ten billion times hasn't removed him from power.
In 2016, every celebrity in America begged the population to vote for Hillary. It didn't make a lick of difference.
Mao is evil and everything he did was evil.
Kamala Harris is good and everything she does is good.
If you like Mao, who is evil, then you should like Harris, who is good.
Harris and Mao actually have really similar policies, which you should be happy about if you like Mao, which you shouldn't.
Being a Liberal must be fucking exhausting.
Democrats might successfully rebrand as the party of the cops.
And I guess the GOP will rebrand as the party of old-timey gangsters, and chuds will have to pretend the Gotti move was good.
She made a 4 hour video going "So you're saying I'm a bad person just because I like stuff??" over and over again.
Ages ago, Natalie Wynn was very good at de-radicalizing young men from the far right, and making weird artsy videos about a layman's foray into Marxism.
And then she got absorbed into the ruling class that she was basically already adjacent to. She's rich, and famous, and getting paid to answer questions in the Hillary + Chelsea reality show, questions like "what should we do about AIDS?" and "How much cancelling is the right amount of cancelling?"
I think he's one of those guys who only only eats red meat to trigger the vegans.
You may also enjoy playing The Outer Wilds.
Imagine still having to negotiate with private health insurance as a Mars colonist. Oh, Kaiser didn't cover your kidney shrinkage medicine? Just fill out a form in our office on Earth to start a review process.
They have to pretend they don't know that the protestors are protesting a genocide, because the alternative to feigned ignorance is admitting they're counter-protesting an anti-genocide protest.
US tanks run on jet fuel?
>Loukanikos (Greek: Λουκάνικος: "the sausage loukaniko"), initially named "Theodor", was a Greek riot dog that participated in almost every anti-austerity protest in Greece. He was commonly known for joining protests, barking at police, helping in street battles with the Greek police as well as participating in anarchist rallies and picket lines, at least since December 2008. Loukanikos had a reputation of being fearless, usually being in front of the protests and having tear gas thrown at him multiple times. He was active throughout all Greek protests and often leading the protesters towards the police. Initially a stray, he moved from building to building, but was said to have preferred to be on the streets. He was groomed and cared for by multiple left-wing organizations.
Good Dog
Posting this episode because the plot of "Gung Ho" (1986) is basically happening all over again, with the US TSMC plant. The Taiwanese company is treating American workers they way they treat their Taiwanese workers (terribly), the company only wants to import Taiwanese construction workers because they don't trust the Americans, and now Arizona may ban TSMC from importing more workers because this whole thing was pitched as a jobs program.
Some Arizonans who applied to work on this fab have indicated that TSMC is so distrustful of the local labor force that they are requiring some roles to relocate to Taiwan for 6-12 months for on the ground training, and offering below market rates for the privilege.
So if you haven't heard it, here's The Antifada episode where !matt-jokerfied and !virgil-sad talk about Gung Ho.
>In this very special Antifada offering, Andy, Jamie and Sean are joined by your favorite sons: Matt Christman and Virgil Texas of Chapo Trap House.
>Gang begins by addressing the central questions of our hyper-digital age: what if God friended you on Facebook? Is QAnon just a benign hobby for bored Boomers? And, holy shit, what if GOD WAS QANON?
>Matt, Virgil and Jamie reveal - for the very first time - their respective political tendencies. Everyone marvels at how high-T Jeb(!) managed to lose the primary despite the PR coup of offering a poorly branded guaca bowle.
>Crew get knee-deep into Paul Schrader's 1978 classic "Blue Collar" starring Richard Pryor, Yaphet Kotto and Harvey Keitel's genitalia. How does this movie about struggling union autoworkers help us understand the 70s as more than just bad hair and bell bottoms? (C.f. Jefferson Cowie's "Stayin' Alive" and the upcoming "Chapo Guide to Revolution: A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts and Reason")
>How did the "Golden Age" of US capitalism break down? How the hell did we end up in neoliberal hellworld when the 70s saw the most massive wildcat strike wave since the 30s? Why can't we return to decadent late social-democracy complete with coke benders, shag carpets to bang across, crushed velvet noodie posters and modernist chairs made to look like cocks'n'balls? Ugh.
>After the depressing grind of Blue Collar, Matt suggests we lighten the mood with "Gung Ho" (1986) starring Michael Keaton. What's more uplifting after watching a film about declining racial solidarity among the US working class than one that uses stereotypes about the Japanese for cheap yuks? What's more laughable than watching a town full of autoworker rubes look to a washed up high school jock to solve their employment crisis?
>In a startling twist, the entire crew turns on the American working class as the indolent, entitled chuds they are: you will all wear Ribbons of Shame in the highly disciplined and sadistic Japanese-dominated future!
>Luckily, this week's viral wildcat video by a Hero of Socialist Labor saves us from going full MAGA. Spoiler: in the end our various tendencies are synthesized into Antoine Dangerfield Thought.
Found this on the neoliberal sub. Just openly whining about how there’s nobody he can talk to about his contempt for unions and worker solidarity.
