These 18 year olds living in an open air prison on the other side of the world hate Americans for their freedom. They were cheering for 9/11 six years before they were even born.

They were extremely Catholic, which is how they got so much support from foreigners in Western organizations and governments.
Absent that, yeah, the KMT would have been paste very early on. But they were inundated with guns and money for much of the 1930s and 40s
X-Men had one foot in either world.
At it's best, it was a show about people struggling with the bigotries aimed at their conditions and arguing the best path forward. Characters confronting disease, debating the causes and responses to racism, exploring their sexuality, uncovering the horrors of the police state and the two faced nature of liberal responses to poverty and crime. It's often written for babies, but it's ultimately good politics.
At it's worst, it was just xenophobic copaganda with Wolverine shouting "Don't worry we're some of the good ones!" while he punches Russo-China The Evil Communist Super Fifth Columnist in the genitals for hitting those African migrants with a literacy ray.
It really just depends who was writing at any given momoment. Are we having Magento doing Mutant Stalinism On One Asteroid while Cyclopes struggles to pay for prescription lenses on a student budget? Or is Ice Man doing fat jokes at the Blob for six pages?
That's not true. The US has plenty of flesh and blood celebrities. From Tom Brady to Taylor Swift to Elon Musk to Joel Osteen to Donald Trump, we've definitely got people that we've placed on pedestals.
We don't have war heroes because we have a military focused on terror bombing and assassinations, rather than street fightering and militia building. But we do have warmongers, who we regale as bold truth tellers and spiritual leaders.
If the Iranian government were to assassinate the Op-Ed section of the NYT, far more tears would be shed than if they knocked out a David Petraus or a Lloyd Austin.
If they really did pull a Sum Of All Fears and blew up a football stadium during the Super Bowl? Killing famous singers and ballers and countless middle managers and political mega-donors? Bedlam.
Even without the edit, what is the message here? Israelis have no obligation to tap the fucking breaks?
Japan wasn't a Christian nation in the 1930s. It was majority Shintoist and Buddhist with only a tiny Christian minority largely relegated to the lower classes. Why would they care about Satanic Cults? Its nonsense.
The Chinese-based KMT would be the more likely candidate if you were going to make up some bullshit about a glorious Christianist crusade.
Shitmire is a fucking pox on this city and has been since he crawled into the State Senate seat and infested it for the last 40 fucking years. Everything wrong with Texas politics in a nutshell.
dont think skinny people face medical discrimination
Not in the same way, but there's definitely discrimination against anorexics and diabetics and folks undergoing weight loss from cancer treatment and illness.
There's a fetishization of thinness certainly. But that's often as bad as being shamed, as you're functionally lauded for your poor health.
America deserves a President Kamala Harris
Japan’s attempt to stop Trans Satanic cults from spreading across the Pacific, and
The absolute brainworms necessary to believe Japan of all fucking places... In the 1930s even.
Like, at least the KMT were Catholic.
"We have such sights to show you."
And they just sent me this funky rubix cube.
Other than to periodically find his grandstanding annoying, I barely notice that the guy exists 99 days out of 100. And I think you underestimate exactly how many Houstonians gloom on to his vaguely Christian themed self-help ministries. He's far more popular than unpopular, if you edge out the people who find him mildly annoying but mostly aren't bothered by him one way or another.
Guy isn't even the worst preacher in town, either. If you really want a soulless blood-sucking chud, go check out Ed Young at Houston Second Baptist. That freak is at the heart of Trump-flag waving, Proud Boy marching, cop worshiping, O&G fetishizing far-right community.
Joel Osteen's greatest sin was realizing you could fleece dipshit liberals by making Barack Obama noises from the old Houston Rockets basketball stadium. Ed Young is the guy calling for Trans kids to be tortured back into their original genders and migrants to be shot on sight.
