I want to point out that he could've drawn a pretty iconic style of bomb that goes "tick tock" at least in popular consciousness, but instead went with a fuse that definitely does not tick.

The logical leap from “Hunter Biden trades on his dad’s name like any good failson” (true) to “Joe Biden single handedly dragged the US into supporting Ukraine to support his son’s corruption” is an absurd joke. The whole US foreign policy apparatus loves the Ukraine war and would be pushing for it regardless of who the president is.

Add in the "You have to accept the sketchy as hell sourcing of the laptop without any skepticism or scrutiny of who produced it or why, because that was really Hunter's dick" as treat.

Honestly at this point I'm not going to wade through what exactly is true about the statement that Hunter Biden's laptop was "verified by the FBI." Giuliani showing up in October with this bizarre story about how he got all this super incriminating information being treated as as fake news by the mainstream media was the correct course of action, even if the story later turned out to be some version of 'true.'

My only complaint with this one is that, if the test subject was already a Bazinga he'd be saying those things anyway, so there's no way to tell if the surgery failed. Also that Elon would probably declare Neuralink a success if the brain damage turned people in drooling fans of his.

I don't know if it's a religious thing or what but some people just seem to be unable to comprehend problems in terms of evaluating tradeoffs or optimizations. They can only see things in absolutist moral terms: the only reason to oppose something is if it's a "sin", and you should never sin. There's no difference between sinning sometimes and sinning all the time, it's just sin. If your backup generator is gas, then either you're a sinner too for using gas, or using gas isn't a sin so shut up about windmills, which is it, you hypocrite?

Any hint of compromise or nuance sounds to them just like the guy in Road Trip justifying cheating on his girlfriend because he only does it when they're in different area codes

I think Alt-right playbook talked about this in I Hate Mondays, but it's very much an idea of if you're not preventing all of a thing, it's the same as preventing none of it; that if someone can do something, it's the same as everyone doing something. He tied it in to the idea of mortal sin: you're not "better off" only doing one mortal sin vs. seven; damned is damned, and one strike is all it takes.

KIIIRRRYYYUUUUU CHAAAANNNNNN

quote:

TWITTER WAS PARTICIPATING IN TREASON
Federal agencies have been colluding with social media companies to destroy our free speech. Social media such as Twitter and Facebook became the ‘town square’ where everyone could get up on their soap box and say whatever they liked. Free speech is particularly important when it comes to expressing political views, but speech that expressed conservative values or pro-Trump sentiments were removed ahead of the 2020 election, and the users got banned. We know this all too well—we were unceremoniously removed from Twitter for no valid reason. Then Facebook permanently banned us for expressing our views on medical tyranny.

The FBI did the bidding of the Democrats, the globalists, and the Deep State Swamp. As a result, the FBI has permanently ruined their reputation. The FBI needs to be atomized—broken up—dissolved. As for the top 50 security agents who signed a document swearing the “Trump Russia collusion” fabrication was actually real and the Hunter laptop was a fake…well, they need to be fired from their deep state positions. They need to be arrested for election interference.

Of course, nothing will happen as long as the Deep State Swamp is in charge of everything. After all, we are living in a very corrupt banana republic.

Stolen elections have consequences.

Otherwise yes, good on the RMT continuing the fine tradition of uk industrial action, could put this on a placard at a picket line.

In a way, that makes sense.
I mean, if even one person is doing it, that establishes precedent and provides proof to "regular" people that it isn't bringing about the end of civilization like the alt-righters want you to think, which makes it that much harder to drum up support

Just found that video and yeah he puts it really well.

Reminds me about that weird Herschel Walker rant where he says reducing air pollution is pointless because our "good air" blows to China and their "bad air" blows here.
It's all or nothing, if anyone pollutes anywhere then there's no point to not polluting here.

It's rare that they come out and admit it, but if they get cornered while defending pedophilia or murder, they will cry about unjust persecution because people don't go to jail for porn or video games or whatever, even though those are morally equivalent sins.
