Does Russia even have not-winter?

According to Germans who survived the war it has 3 seasons. A miserable hot Summer, mud, then a miserable cold winter followed by more mud..

Cops being lying sacks of shit and judges protecting them? I am shocked. SHOCKED I SAY.

Attacking Russia during winter certainly is a bold strategy. Too bad there's centuries of precedence of it never working out.

I mean they invaded in June. Originally it was supposed to be May but they had to invade Yugoslavia and Greece which set them back on their time schedule. Also to be fair it was the Russian fall rains and the mud that they caused on Russia's mostly dirt roads that stopped the advance and allowed the Russians time to bring in the Siberian forces to reinforce the defenses around Moscow.

How in games characters don't notice your ridiculous outfits (or lack of one)

I always kind of chalked it up to something similar to how no one really noticed Muppets in Muppet films. Otherwise pretty much every game would have NPCs being like "bruh what the fuck is with your outfit".

I would be interested in finding out if he truly thought Jews were bad, or if he just picked a scapegoat for his purposes

I've often wondered about it. I am not sure what is worse, being racist or not being racist but acting racist for a goal.

He absolutely hated Jews. We often forget but the majority of Europe was massively anti-Semitic at the time. The things that Hitler wrote about them in Mein Kampf were not considered extreme at the time he wrote the.

Daily reminder that Republicans don't think that trans people are human.

But ummmm, Hitler wasn't a genius. Like he had a decent understanding of some particular aspects of larger strategy but tactically he was trash.

Of his two major succeses the fall of Poland was against an enemy that was materially inferior and unprepared and the fall of France was a souped up version of the Schlieffen plan from WW1 that was designed by Manstein and commanded by Von Runstedt.

It was Hitler's specific choice to change targets from RAF infrastructure to civian targets that cost him the battle of Britain. It was his choice to divert Guderian's panzers from the center to help liquidate the Kiev pocket that cost him Barbarossa (among other things, but if there is a specific point at which he lost the Eastern Front that was it).

Nimbys are the worst.

I think the Republican wet dream would have been shooting the robber if I'm not mistaken.

True, but forcing an employee into bondage is a close second for them.

American soldiers committing war crimes? Never.

Unless you are quoting from a text in an academic setting, just fucking don't.

Hunh and here I was told very vociferously by this boards conservatives that the Nazis involved in that "protest" were plants.

Any and all Nazis should be dealt with. The same way our grandparents did.

Goddamn, best of luck to you sir.

Since heart disease is the number one killer of people (covid bumps aside) each year after year I don't think that statement is as correct as you're assuming it to be.

If you know someone that died before they turned 60 and it wasn't cancer or trauma, it was probably too much cheese...among other things.

Sure, American's diets are trash no doubt and certainly accounts for our lower average life span. It's mostly the absurdity of how he tried to make that point that I find stupid. It's essentially a hyperbolic version of reducto ad absurdum.

Then you have probably been on one side or another of what I am about to relate. I've been to about 10-15, about half of them gay rights related in some way, some nonideological to raise awareness on a current issue (often a death), and a smattering of causes on the political right. Almost invariably at any remotely ideological or partisan protest, there are other protesters whose views I find extremist and apalling, and they are LOUD. They bring signs that are very provacative. "Tax the church!" "Abolish ICE!" "Al Sharpton did this, this, and, this, but not ONE MINUTE for this cause." I am embarassed by these signs and chanters. Because I don't believe in over half the stuff that is said the loudest or promoted by the most organized or prominent people who show up--and they're rarely the people who organized the protest in the first place.

And so I have learned when going to a protest, to bring my own sign. I don't necessarily stay home out of fear of encountering extremists. I go to advance my own agenda and to tell both other protesters and the public what it is--so that they see what it isn't.

If I were worried about encountering extremists, then I wouldn't be able to protest for gay marriage, or against DADT, or for mourning and appreciation of the NYPD, or for continuing the war on terrorism. I would be staying home and, one, giving a deceptive impression of the amount of support on an issue, and two, ceding the field to the most unreasonable elements. I believe reasonable people need to come out and be heard, and in as large numbers as possible. My concern with your post is that it seems to offer no way for that to occur.

Ok, but do you see here that your comparisons are not really even. You are comparing concepts like "tax the church" and "abolish ICE" to the flag of a regime that assembly line murdered millions of people. To the flag of a state that existed almost entirely for the purpose of preserving chattel slavery. If you can't see that it might be a problem when you find yourselves on the same side of an issue as those people I don't really know that you and I can have a productive conversation on the subject.

Yes you can go to a protest for a thing and find yourself having an ideological difference with some of the people on the fringes of that movement. Who is a human being and who is not is not an ideological difference. Who we are going to enslave, or that slavery is acceptable, is not an ideological difference. Who we are going to assembly line murder and chuck in an oven is an ideological difference. I've yet to find myself in a situation where I've participated in any sort of protest or movement where such people could even pretend to use it as a vehicle for such vile ideology. If by some weird set of circumstances I did, it's on me and the others involved to make sure such people aren't allowed to taint whatever we are involved doing with that shit.

Yeah dude is just churning out direct to redbox junk now it's wild.

There is no end to the demand for food, water, shelter, and healthcare. Those are kind of the things you need to not fucking die.

Fam_Fam posted...

this is misleading. they called things that happened outside of the Capitol legitimate political discourse. They were saying people went after GOP members who were conflating the two, calling out people who were legitimately protesting as being terrorists/insurrectionists.

that said, it's obviously the same shit they do against BLM and the like

I'm gonna need a motherfucking source.

Congrats. They doing puncture method instead of cutting and stitching?

So bombs, firearms, gallows, and zipties are legit political discourse?

Yep. Clearly there is no connection here to them kicking down the door of a black man in a way in which they have been banned from doing so and killing a black man. No connection at all.

My political alignment is somewhere around global revolution Trump should be dragged out and shot, same as Biden. Same as Bush. Same as Trudeau. All cowards and traitors to humanity.

The nazi cucks in the protest are just that. Cucks. They show up everywhere now, and no a mandate is not in the interest of the working class. Its in the interest in shareholders creating a never ending product.

This is the same as saying having an agency like OSHA isn't in the interest or workers, it's in the interests of the manufacturers of safety equipment and equally as stupid.

atmasabr posted...

And this, in a nutshell, is the sort of high-handed, catastrophic, virtue-signalling, smarter-than-thou moralizing that has caused the Democratic party, and left-wing governments of multiple other countries, to shed working class votes for the past decade.

Sure it is pal. Don't fly the flags of slavers, genociders, or idiots who don't realize they can just say "fuck joe biden" like the rest of us and you won't have a problem.

Materus posted...

It is literally always in the interest of the working class to make their government fear them. An ideal government is one that is scared shitless that at any moment the people could rise up and fucking kill them. Keep boot licking though, Im sure multi billion dollar corporation appreciates you supporting making it mandatory to consume their product.

Oh I agree that governments should fear their workers but protesting COVID vaccine mandates doesn't serve the interests of the working class. At all. Blue collar workers have died at a far higher rate than any other group because we had to keep to work to serve people who went into hiding when the pandemic started. This nonsense is also making it impossible for blue collar workers to go out and earn their livings.

These truckers are bunch of right wing chuds who've been flying the flag of a failed slaver state, swastikas, let's go Brandon banners, all of which are the symbols of class traitors, cowards, and bootlickers.

These are owner operators, meaning they have the money and time to waste to inconvenience people who actually have to go to work every day.

This is more like our Charlottesville if anything. All the loud and proud dipshits showing their true colors, may they be mocked forever.

Charlottesville was a bit different though, it didn't have any specific public policy goal in mind. They were protesting something. Though really according to the participants and organizers it was supposed to a coming out for the American right wing fringe to push for mainstream acceptance while pursing violence as a secondary objective.

This kind of thinking needs to die off. People shouldnt be made to feel embarrassed for having a job.

You have to remember that people like that dude both simultaneously demand the service that the TC is providing and meltdown when things aren't stocked, but denigrate those that provide it. Most Americans tend to view retail and service industry folks as beneath them.
