Yes and Dr. Christine Ford was desperately seeking attention when she came forward a the 11th hour to torpedo a Supreme Court nomination. It’s amazing how the same right wing talking points flow from chapo trap house when their BOY is attacked.

I have more faith in Bernie that he actually believes in egalitarian principles and will apologize to warren for the micro aggression tonight at the debate. This is what a true ally who cares about women would do. Then we can move forward to other issues.

A big lol at chapo claiming there is no way Bernie could be sexist because he encouraged Liz warren to run in 2016. So Bernie was actively trying to foist a neoliberal still politician on the electorate? These guys can’t keep their story straight. One day Bernie is our only hope for taking down the system and the next he is actively promoting one of the phoniest candidates of recent memory. The story desperately shifts as they try to protect him from sexist claims. Chapo is doing way more to defend sexist sanders then thy ever did to protect “comrade” Sam Kriss. But that’s what you get with pathetic socialist celeb fuckers who hang out with people like Patton Oswalt (a liberal btw) while charging you 5 bucks a month to listen to their pablum.

Do you ever question the fact that they are regurgitating chud talking points?

It’s ironic considering how you guys pathetically try to copy the chapo style of online snark. It really shows how shallow and uncritical your brand of leftism is. And eerily much like a maga chud relationship with the don is built about vapid cultural signifiers. Your relationship with the chapo chuds is almost exactly the same. Except even more embarrassing because all they care about is your 5 bucks. None of them view you as comrades their contempt is pretty palpable actually.

Some of the liberals will flip either because of cynical realpolitik reasons or because they genuinely think that Bernie's vision is the best way forward. Peter Daou is a very good example of what these defectors will look like.

Of course there will still be those who will fight tooth and nail to preserve the status quo but if they fail to rally together as a single faction or a large enough group of the liberals break off and join up with Bernie then they have no hope.

A few will, but most won't. We have to try, and i sure as hell am, but realistically Bernie is gonna get hosed, and most people will not be reached enough to truly enact his theory of change. Most likely we are utterly hosed. Trump is gonna win.


But we have to fight the long defeat, because to do otherwise is cowardice.

Morning star doesn't have a chain, does it? :spergin:

The Sword Nerd Has Logged On

Morningstar is a modern term for a type of mace. A mace is a handle with a metal head that could have all kinds of designs. A flail is the one with a handle and chain which then had one or multiple metal balls of various design.

The names of old weapons and poo poo is a whole mess of poo poo since the vast majority of the time contemporary people just called them names like "sword" or "big sword" or "big axe" even though the "big sword" from 100 years before looks nothing like the other one. especially since normally the only times we get the names in writing is in inventories and poo poo.

Mace: rounded ball on a stick.

What's the difference between a longsword and a broadsword? I remember longswords did more damage against large opponents, so they were always preferred.

A longsword is a two handed sword common in the late medieval period into the Renaissance. The big standard sword you see a knight using. The shorter one handed sword that looks the same would be and "arming sword" The thing actually called a broadsword were those basket hilted swords you see in movies like Rob Roy. They were called broadswords because they were broad compared to smallswords, those thin bladed swords you see dainty French nobles carrying in movies. Smallswords were smallswords because they were small, compared to rapiers, which are big, heavy, and long.


Flails do show up in medieval art and existed but were rare cause they just really aren't very good at doing the same things a mace does, with way less chance of hitting yourself.

The prequels are not just dumb and not good plot-wise, they are just terribly made. They push CGI way too hard for the time period, the pacing is horrific, the dialogue is godawful (Lucas manages to make very good actors very boring), etc.

Ewan mcgregor and Samuel Jackson are both boring as poo poo, that alone is enough to impinge the prequels.

The US military would not be able to put down an actual for-real insurrection in the US for two pretty obvious reasons.

1.) our military isn't big enough, and is structured to make contractors money. If even 20% of the US population revolted, that's close to 60-70 million people. We'd have to do a draft in the rest of the country to even have enough manpower to hold a line from Canada to Mexico.

2.) we don't have the institutional and ideological backing to actually kill Americans en masse. There's a very big difference between convincing racist cops to kill hundreds of blacks/browns in a city and convincing your military to wage a war of extermination on dozens of millions of Americans, many of whom look and act just like that military.

boatloads of people would die either way, and that would be horrible, but you can't really win a war like that with tanks, drones, and the most expensive kit you can imagine.

revolutions don't just happen out of thin air. whatever rising tensions that could cause such a massive upheaval would be coincidental with a buildup of the military. all those contractors would make bank growing the military, and once poo poo kicks off it would be a huge and well armed military against traitors and terrorists. the military will kill americans without a second thought.

I mean we're at the point where states are talking about the early frameworks of balkanization and we're just over a month into this crisis.

There have been several revolutions that were violent and sudden without an accompanying slow buildup of counter-revolutionary power -- even Russia's February revolution followed basically that path.

i don't disagree, but given american status as literally the richest country in history, the elites can stay in power because they always make just enough concessions that even the poor in america are better off compared to russian peasants or syrians in 2011. a sudden revolution is not really possible right now as the vast majority have too much to lose. anything that would create the environment where insurrection could occur will allow them time to prepare.

We're going to have 70 million+ Americans idle and unemployed for the forseeable future. They're getting a $1200 check and $600 a month, until state unemployment runs out because of feedback loops in automatic transfers.

I think that making broad statements based on everything right up until early march in the US is pointless now. We've entered a new era of dynamism.

i agree we don't know what will happen, but given how fast the GOP did agree to straight up stimulus payments and extended unemployment and poo poo, i think the elites will exchange something like UBI "for the duration of the crisis" or whatever to keep the torches and pitchforks from coming out. as long as they still have their yachts, mansions, and power, they'll gladly toss the masses enough scraps to keep them quiet.

the picture is him pretending to grope her while she was asleep. she is wearing a flak jacket in the photo so his capacity to grope would be severely limited.

its an academic distinction, he was inappropriate a ton and deserved to be ran out of congress. however i do share the frustration in that he seems to have gotten the full brunt of the fury of the dems while loving biden has managed to become the nominee.

The only cool facts I remember about orkz from WH is that they are latently psychic and their battlefield prowess is defined by their collective dementia. For example, if Orkz think red spaceships go faster, and they paint a ship red, it will be faster because the Orkz believe. Likewise their chieftains! If an Ork chieftain is thought to be particularly strong and bloodthirsty, they might grow to incredible size and develop powerful new tusks, because that is how the other Orkz see them in their minds eye.
