I have long been of the opinion that if you read newspaper headlines like a WWF announcer, it really is indiscernible.
PRO-PALESTINE ACTORS ABSOLUTELY SLAM APARTHEID CLYDE, TAKING A SIXTY FOOT PLUNGE OFF OF HELL IN A CELL AND DIRECTLY ONTO AN ANNOUNCERS' TABLE!!!!! BAWGAWD, THAT'S TRUMP'S THEME MUSIC
To quote Death Cab for Cutie, "he was a bastard in life, thus a bastard in death."
Yeah and if I had wheels, I'd be a wagon.
Man, I saw that woman make a speech in honor of her husband and it sounded exactly like me giving a book report on a book I absolutely did not read because my brother rented Final Fantasy Tactics and I needed to finish it before it went back to Blockbuster.
Nazis did not have an ideology. They were a grievance movement that utilized a common folk scapegoat (Jewish and Roma migrants) to unify the fractured German political landscape in the Weimar Republic era.
It was a populist demogogue movement that cynically and callously used terminology that was common and popular among poor working class people in order to trick them into believing that their movement was about anything other than hatred, extermination, and pilfering public coffers. The 'Socialist' part of their name was a cynical play to attract those who were active in Communist organizing in the early 1900s.
There was no collective ownership in Nazi Germany. The government owned much of everything, and the only parties that benefited from that ownership were the individual cronies that Hitler personally feted. Nazi Germany was socialist in the way that Vladimir Putin's Russian Federation is a Communist state — IN NAME ONLY.
Frankly I don't understand why they didn't expect anything less by creating random traffic choke points. Mark my words, attitudes on ICE are going to start shifting radically once they start causing more and more collateral damage in pursuit of these capricious arrests.
It's gonna be something big, like, an ICE agent smearing one of Jeff Bezos' kids with an SUV while they're chasing a 75 year old abuelita through a palisade in downtown San Francisco. It's gonna be random, and whichever unlucky ICE agent ends up doing it is going to get crucified — literally. This kind of high recklessness isn't even seen in states with sophisticated surveillance or fascism. We are absolutely on some Great Leap Forward bullshit right now.
Let's see, and who was Hyundai's main competitor at assembling EV batteries in the US? 🤔
there was. but also, I mean Kirk getting shot was a school shooting in itself. he was shot on a college campus while students were there.
Boomers and older Gen-Xers seem to truly have no concept of how many school shootings that Millennials and Zoomers have lived through.
The response to those was the same every time, and the words they used were similar to those Kirk himself used — "a little random violence is the price we pay for the freedom to own guns."
Since Uvalde, I have just been straight with it and just refer to it as the Second Amendment God. The Second Amendment God occasionally gets hungry, and must be fed with blood. That's what we as Americans want. This has happened a thousand times over in 25 years, and each time, we all cast a silent vote that this is what we want.
The Second Amendment God exists because we want Him to exist.
Really cool action movie that just never stops. Highly recommended.
Bad Bunny is outside of my orbit, and I hadn't heard of him until he was first on SNL, but you can tell that he did SNL once and decided this is what he was all about now. He is very cute that way.
Listen, I am about as active as any non-Israeli or non-Palestinian can be in anti-genocide discourse, but you're smoking crack if you think that Russia's intentions for Ukraine are to simply absorb their government and people. Russians by and by large do not believe Ukrainian culture is a thing, and in fact, have been breaking chunks off from their culture and absorbing it as their own since Moscow was founded by a couple of guys who got lost in the woods.
Russia's goal is absolute cultural annihilation, and their actions have fit the standard definition of genocide since 2022.
