I foot commute to work almost every day and I would say that nearly getting run over happens every three days, shit is dire

There's always going to be divides, dipshit

You can't "utopian centre path where everyone is happy and compromises uwu" your way out of politics

I wanna know what the fucking hyperlink links to

Gotta start wondering if Joey and the DMC et al are losing on purpose at this point

Of course they are

It's easier to do $1000 a plate fundraising dinners about how evil the Trump Republicans are when you're fighting against them, far harder to do that shit when you're in power

If I wrote an evil nation into a scifi book that used an AI system called "Where's Daddy" to bomb families as soon as they were gathered at home, I would be rejected from every publisher for being too on the nose

Except I don't think I could actually ever conceive of something that fucking evil even in fiction sadness-abysmal

Didn't he once yell at someone and call them fat for daring to question his Union stance?

I fucking love looking at prepper stuff once in a while. I'd been considering making a small emergency kit/go bag for actual climate disasters that could occur (such as major weather event knocking power out for weeks at a time, which did occur recently), and fucking everywhere has people playing up LARP fantasies about going out to camp in the middle of the woods at the first sign of trouble, only wearing nondescript grey clothing so you can blend into the crowd, and not an ounce of useful advice

The only bit of useful advice I ever saw for disaster survival was to buy a silcock key to access potable water from buildings, and it came from an old homeless dude on a forum. Fuck these LARPers with their hundred ARs and buried stashes

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the Austro-Hungarian army. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"

John Wick was a marine

American media's obsession with portraying Marines as some kind of elite soldier is fucking hilarious to me after reading Generation Kill and learning they're just drunk frat boys given guns and told to kill

They're possibly the least glamorous soldiers anywhere

These people live in a fucking fantasy world

Worse

They live in a fantasy world and accuse everyone who dares question even the slightest part of the fantasy of being some sort of evil foreign actor, or else the ones truly in a fantasy world

It's disgusting and insidious

I've had libs argue to me that the only option was to let Nazi officers continue in command of West German armed forces, because there just was no other way to keep the army ready against those dastardly evil Soviets, and there weren't enough qualified non-Nazis to take the reins
