It's a piss take on similar opinions elsewhere.

Though there's enough people who say that sincerely. I should be more transparent about that. Or leave that to LoB.

Also insert that comic about the guy pretending to be stupid.

I think of it more as LoB-adjacent, as they aren't direct quotes and are contain far less tinfoil.

Unfortunately I don't have much to share in terms of idiocy, especially since FB messed up the timeline. Nobody really going on about shitlibs or Blue Lives Matter or the supposed antifa revolution on Saturday.

Guess it's gotta be Saturday so none of the Antifa miss their work at capitalist jobs, hurhur

This newspaper page is being passed around on Twitter as a full page ad from the times. Not sure if it's true, but who knows when Info Wars is the source.

I also submit the #Antifa hash tag itself, with the usual split of "fear the commies" and "Antifa are pussies"

Krang's tweet apparently got picked up earlier as an actual threat by Gateway Pundit, but the article seems to be gone now.

It's real. The nov. 4th thing is an occupy wallstreet style protest thats been organizing for months now. Right wingers have been ramping up the civil war 2 talk about it and twitter users like krang have been egging them on with obvious jokes that shtiheads like wintrich take seriously because they are desperate to be outraged. The actual protest will be minor and untelevised, unless someone opens fire on them.

Why would she even complain to uber and lyft about that? They don't have policies to discourage white, christian, american born drivers. And unlike licensed taxis there is no cap on the number of drivers. So the shortage of white drivers is 100% the fault of the white people who live near that area and have qualifying cars but choose not to spend their nights working as gypsy cabs.

She's demonstrating to her cohort how not-woke she is because they are hosed up people and it's good to them to be a racist.

A lot of these Newfie military jokes (Did you hear about the Newfies in the war? They'd throw grenades at the Germans, and the Germans would pull the pins and throw them back. The Newfies figured out a good solution, though - they started soldering in the pins before they threw them!) are actually really bad takes on Newfoundland's involvement in the First World War - the short version is that they ended up in the worst parts of the worst battles. The Newfoundland regiment was wiped out in a single manouvre in The Somme:

quote:

So far as can be ascertained, 22 officers and 758 other ranks were directly involved in the advance.[20] Of these, all the officers and slightly under 658 other ranks became casualties.[20] Of the 780 men who went forward only about 110 survived unscathed, of whom only 68 were available for roll call the following day.[20] For all intents and purposes the Newfoundland Regiment had been wiped out, the unit as a whole having suffered a casualty rate of approximately 80%. The only unit to suffer greater casualties during the attack was the 10th Battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment, attacking west of Fricourt village.[21]

Newfoundland and Labrador was awarded more Victoria Crosses per capita for their contributions to the First World War than any other territory/expedition in the entire history of the Empire, and most of them posthumously. They suffered so many losses that NL was exempt from WW2 conscription. Many small towns lost every man between the ages of 18 and 35.

Of course, idiots saw this and they were like "Lol stupid newfies with their dumb accents don't know how to fight," when in reality they died because fought like loving demons.

Yeah I've known quite a few Newfies over the year and they're mostly good people (though I've also known a few skeety motherfuckers who I won't give the time of day). Largely the attitude is that they love playful banter, but there's a line that can be crossed. All of them take July 1 pretty seriously.

The French Resistance caused hell for German Forces in France, and them pissing off the Nazis led to a lot of squabbling between defending Paris from within or cities like Normandy and Calais from without. Operation D Day could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for the Resistance causing the headaches they did and keeping the Nazis running around.

But no, they're all cheese eating, wine drinking surrender machines.

It really pissed me off to see the response around Dunkirk. The French were understandably a bit miffed that the movie completely ignored the role of French forces in holding off the Nazis while the evacuation took place, and were roundly mocked for this in the British press.

Ffs, we've made a national pasttime of complaining about the Americanisation of the second world war, and we're always up in arms if British involvement is overlooked in this or that movie. But when the French do it, oh suddenly it's petulant whining, they should get over themselves.

Edit: Also, the Cafe scene in The Great Escape is the only time in the whole movie anybody shows anything resembling professional competence, and is my favourite part of the whole movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uY9DV1NBco

‘Eh. A lot of the French Resistance narrative was created after the war to assuage national pride. The French resistance only really became a thing after 1942 when it became clear Germany wasn’t going to throw France any scraps, and was never as big a thing as depicted.

From what I've read, it's poor Q3 sales growth. Like, sales are still fine, but not rising at the levels Papa expected. If only we could force patriotism on people, they would buy more sub-par chain pizza.
