Not once have I ever met anyone who genuinely likes genocide Joe. The closest I've seen is people who, during the election, were saying "he's at least better than Trump and should be voted for as a form of harm reduction."

So this was something I noticed even at the time, but during the 2020 primary season, online support for Joe Biden was like totally devoid of enthusiasm. Like he had his supporters but they were all like "eh he's the most electable". Even Buttigieg, Harris, etc had way more enthusiastic support online.

Not long after Biden won the nomination that all changed. Suddenly people were making memes about how cool Biden is or whatever. Suddenly there was enthusiasm online for him, and a lot of it.

I think some of that is just bot activity, but the bigger part is that a large chunk of the Democratic voting base talked themselves into being hard-core Biden supporters. I say all this because it's always felt very forced and inorganic, and that's because it is. Real life human beings convinced themselves that Biden was the most epic guy ever. And since they've been doing it for years now it's on autopilot.

Yeah, sending in operators to save the hostages results in the operators and/or the hostages dying like 99% of the time. The only reason anyone believes it works is because movies have turned our brained to mush.

there's a Starfield quest where you have to free some hostages and even though it says the bad guys are threatening to kill them, you can go in guns blazing and they just ignore the hostages entirely to shoot you instead

The Beslan school siege was also a product of atrocity propaganda from the West making it more about Putin's mismanagement of it and the alleged media censorship than reckoning with the Islamist fallout of the War on Terror
