Nevermind the international human rights watchdogs sounding the alarm! Nevermind the countries on China's periphery expressing anxiety about its saber rattling and direct subversion efforts! "China is merely following in the footsteps of other rising powers, whose actions are contemptible examples of the evils of imperialism, but China gets a pass because" Also lol at that quote. You really want to give the British an excuse to retake parts of France? lol

maffew buildings posted:Maybe I'm a mega doomer but I don't find any mirth in the guy who posted an anime video where he kills a Congress member and is facing zero consequences for it explaining anime I think it's pretty funny. Not the video, but that the posting of a gross video grabbed so much attention when ultimately it doesn't mean a damned thing. Politics is 95% posturing and signaling and (at most) 5% actually doing anything that matters. We can either laugh or cry about the fact that twitter drama is apparently a really important thing for us all to talk about, and I choose to laugh. The crazies who wanted to do violence to politicians aren't going to be more inclined to do violence to politicians because of a dumb video, and the people who didn't want to do violence to politicians aren't going to watch that video and decide that violence is good and cool as a result. One thing we can all agree on I think is that Gosar loving sucks.

It's hosed up and disgusting. If you made a video showing the violent death of someone who looked like your coworker and shared it at work you'd be fired with cause immediately. If you were a student and showed it at school you'd get suspended / likely expelled and be on a watch list and have the police escort you out and investigate. If youre a congressman you pick up a few votes, get some interview time and get to tell people "relax its just a joke".

Yup, shows what we/Republicans tolerate/encourage amount our elected officials nowadays. With that said, if you can't find any humor in a racist, insane, murderous chud having to explain "my anime edit wasn't actually about violence, you see in anime..." to a room of other racist, insane, murderous chuds, I don't really know what to say. If I was even in that room for a few seconds my skin would melt off, but adding Gosar explaining anime to that mix? I'm surprised the conference room didn't implode into a nuclear reactor of cringe.

Nah, Gosar will probably be tame compared to the Republicans coming in by then. I'd almost expect him to get primaried by then. https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1460637318793019395?t=bEDuWVDRdKZN1dNa2VUk_A&s=19 So just note that me finding the dumb poo poo funny isn't coming from being naive about where things are going.

In actual current events, Azerbaijan and Armenia are having a bit of a flare up: https://twitter.com/NeilPHauer/status/1460574832161140737?t=-0fsCAQJ3dFpblf4IDricw&s=19 I'm curious what, if anything, Armenia did since the ceasefire last year to remedy their situation.

That’s not a comment on the politics of any of the people, just at least they were better loving look then this the dopey beta bitch. I mean Chuck Norris at least looks the part. Kyle Rittenhouse looks like the kid who always plays the molested kid in Catholic priest movies. Also thank you Arnold for staying awesome.

There's also the security in knowing that even things go totally off the rails for the legal system of America and he spends time behind bars, it will be extremely minimal and probably the most lucrative thing that could happen to Rittenhouse. That kid is going to make loving bank off being a hero to the fascist persecution complex. His future as a Fox talking head is guaranteed with this and he'll be giving speeches at CPAC for life.
