Ya, I was about to ask

It’s kinda funny, though. Just journalists doing their routine job of reporting the RAF doing their routine job about the VVS doing their routine job.

Yeah, turns out it’s kinda hard to dodge the draft for a war you hate when all the countries that allegedly oppose it closed their borders to you.

Doubly insane when the first mention of what’s thought to be the Palestinians was by Ramesses III, 3199 years ago.

The hilarious new sequel - in theatres now.

Username checks out, at least.

Back when Russia invaded Ukraine, they issued a statement about how they’re saddened that Europe has descended into violence and are calling for the region to give peace a chance. It was a solid troll.

How many goddamn ads can you fit into a wiki?

Beowulf (2007).

Yes, the cgi aged badly, but everyone panned it for the plot change, which was the thing I liked about it the most!

If you were, you’d have written “am not” instead of “isn’t”.

On the bright side, it’s gonna be so funny

Cozy dystopia. God help me.

You got it backwards - just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after you.

The purple people eater got them all, sadly.

I like how you’re upvoted because you’re the even comment, so people assume you’re continuing the argument without even reading the post.

You’re missing the analogy of it being a defence mechanism in cases of abuse in children. Just cleaning the child up will not fix the issue.

Is it still “First Lady” if the marriage is morganatic?

Yes, but the point stands: Lenin wasn’t grown in a vat in Berlin, he was only ever in Vienna because being in St. Petersburg would get him arrested. There are American political factions favored by certain foreign nations, but they are, at the end of the day, American political factions. And I frankly find it deeply depressing hilarious that the current state of the discourse seems to agree that foreigners are destroying the country, but can’t agree over which foreigners exactly. Talk about Overton loopholes.

I have to say, “The evil foreigners are to blame for us becoming fascist” is an onion-level take.

The reality is precisely the opposite.

The weird thing about Putin’s Russia is that it has no oligarchs, really. Specifically, the idea is that an oligarch is someone who’s wealth allows them access to political power, while in Russia, it’s the other way around - political position allows people access to wealth. Conversely, when they fall out of favour, their money doesn’t protect them - it simply goes away.

The USA, on the other hand, has plenty of oligarchs, and thinking they’re taking sides in politics because they fear Trump is idiocy. These are the people buying islands and building doomsday bunkers in New Zealand. These are the people who shoot themselves to space and copy haircuts of Roman emperors. They’re picking sides because Matt Christmann was right.
