My aunt posted a pretty innocent story today on FB, then the rest of my family had to go and make it a racist circle jerk. Black is just random people, red is my uncle (who the story is about).



Not only has my uncle been on permanent disability receiving those sweet sweet government checks for decades, hispanics are also not allowed to own nicer cars than him.

Your uncle is a poo poo bag, good on you for recognizing it.

Eh, it's more complicated than that. They did make a massive lump-sum payment to South Korea back in the 70s? I think it was, but the SK dictator at the time said "sweet, time to boost our infrastructure" and never passed it on. There was a big stink when that eventually came out (like two decades later). Certainly not trying to say Japan has lily white hands in this case, but there's definitely more to it than Japan saying "lol no money for you".

I just want to remind everyone that in the US, Memorial Day is rapidly approaching, and with it, the bombardment of "ARE TROOPS, gently caress YOU OBLAMMO" on social media.

I can't wait. Any of the 37 holidays having to do with our armed forces are always just full of people tripping over themselves to see who can fellaciate them the hardest, and it usually gives me some amazing content for this thread.

It's funny you should mention that, look what I woke up to!

Yeah, part of why it amused me was more the seemingly unending line of them. Like, how they're arranged in my post was how they appeared on my Facebook wall. My stepfather does like to share things that imply that anyone who disrespects the flag (and it's always black people in the picture) should be arrested or have their welfare money taken away, so I'll grab something more like that if he decides to stay true to form.

It always bothers me how many people literally worship the flag as though it's the God Emperor or some poo poo. It's a flag with lines and stars on it. It has some meaning to it obviously but it's not loving sacred.

Pringles isn't even a company, it's just a brand of chip created by Procter & Gamble and currently owned by Kellog. They didn't even try. I can forgive that though if the only reason they made that meme was to type Harlan Pringle

Also I don't remember trump ever saying he was going to dismantle automation in factories but that'd be an interesting thing to run on

That's what bugs me about idiots wanting laws to "prohibit the desecration of the flag." They're pretty much admitting that they worship it as a sacred object just by using the word "desecration". So, in a way, they want an amendment to the Constitution that would make the Constitution contradict itself (remember that whole pesky freedom of religion bit?) by declaring the flag a consecrated icon and make flag veneration state mandated. But I guess it's okay because Jesus probably came down and told Betsy Ross how to do it right?

Mak0rz posted:

I've always wondered how low you have to go before the flag worshippers stop worrying about the desecration. Obviously mass produced nylon flags made in China are "sacred". How about cheap pre-pinted cloth flags stapled onto a wooden dowel rod and sold at Walmart for $4.99? How about those cheap little gimcracks that are a piece of literal plastic with the flag printed on it and stapled to a stick so you can wave it at parades? If I draw the flag on a piece of paper and then burn that piece of paper, have I desecrated a flag? How crappy does my drawing have to be before it's not a flag anymore and it won't count as desecration to wipe my rear end on it? These are the questions I want to ask the flag cult people, but never have because they're kind of scary and they often have guns.
