Good. Other countries should play hardball with dipshit.

Except maybe for… the dumber types,

A non-negligible portion of the electorate, unfortunately.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht.

GK Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday, 1908

Explanation:

During World War II, despite opposition from Canada, Britain,[27] and the United States, Charles de Gaulle’s forces seized the archipelago from Vichy France, to which the local administrator had pledged its allegiance, in December 1941. In referendums on both islands, the population endorsed the takeover by Free France by over 98%.[27][28]

The character in question has a burn scar, that’s all.

The thing is, it’s not even what’s depicted in the comic. The media constantly softballed Trump. While some of his success, especially initially in 2015/16, can be attributed to “No publicity is bad publicity”, the fact also is that the media at large was unwilling to call out Trump’s bullshit for what it was, because it would lose them part of their viewer base for very little gain. God, the number of people - including liberal leaning people - who did not know or did not understand various aspects of the promises of the Trump campaign and the actions of the Trump administration last time is just… astounding.

In the Githyanki Creche, I believe.

From the start

and fixate instead on a handful of retaliatory strikes against US interests.

Downplaying 9/11 as one of ‘a handful of retaliatory strikes against US interests.’

The Battle of Mogadeshu, which involved Black Hawk helicopters obliterating Somali mosques with hellfire missiles.

Not even vaguely what fucking happened.

The brutal occupation of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, from 1992 to 2001 as a US-backed narco-state.

Fucking all of this.

The entire Iran-Iraq War, sponsored by US arms dealers and double-dealing diplomats, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Arab and Persian young people.

That we sold to both sides of the Iran-Iraq War is undeniable; the idea that the war itself was our fault and that 9/11 is just ‘blowback’ for that is fucking insane.

The occupation of Saudi Arabia by a western-backed military dictatorship going back nearly a century.

Christ, I don’t even know where to begin.

The violent overthrow of democracies from Indonesia to Egypt in pursuit of neoliberal international trade policy.

We were involved in the violent overthrow of many democracies throughout the years, this I agree on. But funny enough, Egypt isn’t one of them. So this had potential to be a good point, but failed by being posted by someone utterly detached from reality.

9/11 didn’t happen in a vacuum any more than the Brian Thompson assassination or the aborted coup in South Korea. These have long historical tails that trace back to a geopolitical policy that’s racked up a staggering death toll.

'Whatabout’ing 9/11 by implicitly arguing against it as a ‘violent act of terrorism’ as originally quoted, and then trying to justify it by the implicit comparison of 9/11 with the French fucking Revolution of the oppressed lower classes finally striking back against their oppressor.

Do you really not see any of these as objectionable.

I don’t know what they did to the writing team between games, but it must have been gruesome.

There are people on Twitter? I thought it was all bots and Musk’s sockpuppet accounts

I think it’s primarily, but not exclusively, a strength. “We need more right-wing posters” is not something I’ve ever thought of Lemmy.

Man, I celebrate deaths all the time. The idea that life is always sacred is bull. We are what we bring to the world, and fuckwad CEO brought suffering.

username checks out

Funny enough, heads started rolling in the French Revolution right after an idiotic manchild at the head of the country who was very popular a short time before attempted to sell his nation out to foreign powers to maintain the death-grip of the aristocracy on the public.

Just an innocent observation.

God. That poor man.

Don’t worry, if we just not vote, everything will magically right itself.

Oh wow who could have fucking predicted

Jesus fucking Christ. Utterly unhinged.

My best friend just had a kid. I imagine I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and he’s gonna be graduating high school. When did time start passing so fucking fast?
