Tankies scuttled the election
I just cannot fathom how they think there are enough of us to matter, and how we have any meaningful political power at all. The enemy is both strong and weak. The enemy is laughable, yet an omnipresent threat. Obsession with a plot, often international. Like just say "Judeo-Bolsheviks" if that's what you want to say.
Everyday I’m scuttling
I used to be a loyal progressive democrat, I used to vote blue every year, I used to not want to be blamed for their loss which was entirely their fault for running a right wing campaign for a terrible candidate, I used to make excuses for them and for me
Now I fucking want them to blame me
They're already blaming the left for Trump winning. lol, lmao
Best result, Kamala wins but loses the Popular vote. (actually the best result is a split college followed by the White house spontaneously exploding.)
Another pretty good outcome is Trump wins, dies on election night, and then there's a Boater Civil War where the two factions ("JD Vance is Trump's rightful heir" and "JD Vance killed Trump") kill each other.
followed by the White house spontaneously exploding
Something something Reichstag something second time a farce
Scuttling implies the ship was unsalvageable, so...
And I'll fucking do it again!
And there's more from where that came from libs
everything is a spooky conspiracy now. people are divining meaning from every tidbit of information.
Carl Sagan's Daemon Haunted World was pure prophecy
Drives me bonkers bc I'll talk about some completely unbelievable looney tunes cartoon villain shit and people will be "uhh that's a conspiracy theory" and then I'll start crying and pull up the org's website where there mission statement is "we do completely unbelievable looney tunes cartoon villain shit which is totally legal and thus does not count as a conspiracy"
it's just no fun to "do your own research" when the research is just presented as a first hand source by the perpetrators of the conspiracy
they want the New Game + not the easy mode because everything is a form of warped entertainment-cope
I maintain that the batshit conspiracy theories were cultivated and amplified by three letter agencies and the like for the express purpose of poisoning the well with regards to the actual real conspiracies that did and do happen. Now whenever you talk about these looney tunes cartoon villain shit crimes and events, it's easy as fuck for anyone to write you off as you yourself being looney with with "that's just a conspiracy theory" as if conspiracies don't happen. But look people, conspiracies do happen. All the fucking time. And it's open knowledge that cannot be denied, it's even admitted to. "That's a conspiracy theory" is not a remotely valid reason for thinking it didn't happen! Meanwhile the false batshit stuff gets pushed relentlessly at every opportunity, even into mainstream pop culture, and that's what ends up getting treated with a "hmmm, well maybe" by the same people who will scoff at you for trying to tell them of real things that can be verified. It's truly maddening.
Popular belief that all conspiracy theories are each just "a conspiracy theory" is itself a conspiracy.
(And like all conspiracies, when you try to explain this, you're disregarded for pedaling in conspiracy theories.)
fwiw; i think that they bother at all is that they're afraid we're going to influence the liberals somehow so it doesn't matter that we're too few to affect anything and more so that they see us a threat to their "way of life." (whatever tf that means)
their way of life is living off of the labor of the rest of the world like vampires.
I also learned recently that "beyond the pale" is an antisemitic term.
I thought it was referring to English vs Irish parts of Ireland
Is it "beyond the pale of settlement?" I'd wondered but i never looked it up.
The Pale of Settlement[a] was a western region of the Russian Empire with varying borders that existed from 1791 to 1917 (de facto until 1915) in which permanent residency by Jews was allowed and beyond which Jewish residency, permanent or temporary,[1] was mostly forbidden. Most Jews were still excluded from residency in a number of cities within the Pale as well.
Yeah it basically meant "where there might be Jews"
Edit: also note the year that it became defunct and then use that as ammunition against anyone calling the USSR antisemitic. (because after that the Soviet Union didn't have such racial caste systems)
my ancestors would like a word with them
You mean your great grandpappy who fought soviets?
Antitankies using fascist rhetorical tools? Who would have thought
"Weimer"
Had to squint there.
It's such funny and obvious doublethink. "No you can't influence the dems, you're foolish for thinking your tiny group matters at all." + "If you and yours don't vote for the dems, then they WILL lose the election."
Anyone that says ancestors immediately goes into my "probably a eugenics freak" sorting folder.
Idk why a phantom thieves emoji comes up when I type "calipers"
who the hell are these people because my ancestors want to have a word with them.
My ancestors this, my ancestors that, I piss on your ancestors. Like as if, we supposed to honour people now just because they're dead. Like as if, this woman has a direct line of communication with her dead nazi grandad or whatever. "Oh my ancestors woulda felt bad about this." Don't care, doubtless to say they'd also boil their piss about gay marriage or desegregated schools as well.
deleted by creator for going too far
People that live in American controlled territories tell horror stories about USSR and communism, while people that lived in USSR including my parents tell me it was best time of their lives. Makes me think really hard.
there's something disturbingly infantalizing with the way these libs talk. real Tommy needy drinky energy.
Right? And like, I bet you nickles to dollars she's talking about some made up bullshit instead of, like, the extremely well documented great purge or transportation of Ethnic Germans after the war.
Like, did Stalin do crimes? Yes. Does anyone whining about Stalin's crimes ever talk about any historical fuck up that Stalin actually made? Never. 0% of the time. It has literally never happened. It's always bullshit about the 1932 famine or mysteriously completely undocumented anti-semitism or some bullshit.
Smdh you hexbear tankies don't believe in the evil of stalin
My great great grandfather fled Poland to Germany in 1941 and he told me that Stalin once gathered everyone in Russia into Red Fash Square and plucked a chicken of all its feathers while feeding it to show just how evil he was
People talk about the Great Purge all the time, what are you talking about?
Personally, my reading is that he was negligent in stopping it but it was a slaughter perpetrated by Yezhov, acting as a world-historical wrecker, but there's a distressing lack of documentation about his trial (and the investigations/interrogations surrounding it) that has been released from the archives. It's possible that he was tortured and it's all bullshit, but Yagoda was clearly documented to be an actual opposition bloc ally at the time of his heading the NKVD, so clearly things like that are possible.
Genocidal jerkfaces?
Millennial libs have a weird fixation of talking like a big baby with the excessive cursing and words like “adulting.”
If I wanted to vote for a homicidal fuckface I'd write in Alec Baldwin.
