Y'know

One time I said "gore in video games doesn't look like real violence, it looks like someone disrespected a plate of italian food"

This lasagna or doom level meme always reminds me of that.

Chaperon hats.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
JOUSTING!

We can do it with motorcycles this time instead of horses!

OH ALSO

Private Military contractors should begin to dress like crosses between clowns and noble-knights again.

(hours later addendum) Bowing as a form of social greeting. We REALLY missed a beat when we didn't bring this back when COVID made people afraid of getting too close to each other.

I mean if you wanna dive that deep, it started when some religious extremists got kicked out of England for being too extremist (for the british empire!) and moved to the new world, killing the people who previously lived there.

... But up until 2008 shit more or less held together? Not pretending 'murica was ever good, but it was the 2008 recession that caused its structure, however fucky it had been from first principles, to really break down.

Peep their profile, it's full of this shit. I'm assuming "Chan user, possibly teenaged"

You've picked a pretty dumb hill to die on mate.

The estimated population of natives in the 1500s when the portuguese arrived was 2 million (according to IBGE), it was 302k by 1998 (also according to IBGE), and that's AFTER decades of recovery efforts.

Edit: Jesus christ on a stick your profile.

Yes and no.

Without Trump fucking shit up on a government level (the Supreme Court in particular), there would probably be less scary shit happening on that end. Would have slowed things down.

But the radicalisation of the Americans began before 2016. Trump is a symptom, not a cause. The disease started spreading as early as 2008. The recession, the damp squib that was the Occupy Wall Street event was the inception of many political movements, both far left AND far right.

That's the thing people don't realise. Even if Donald J. Trump didn't exist, the underlying social tensions mean that inevitably someone would show up to galvanise far right sentiments, and the political estabilishment would have boosted them, whoever they were, because when the common folk are getting angry about their lot, then to the people actually in charge, a fascist dictatorship is preferrable to the alternative.

The alien playing the weird saxophone?

There is a Bith playing Jizz at the Star Wars Cantina.

Can't wait for Americans becoming refugees on other countries en masse and getting a taste of the bitter medicine that was the way they treated foreign migrants for decades.
