Here's the full thing.

I can't help imagining some 70s cold warrior type just waking up from coma when reading the piece

Has "Well actually Ossoff didn't count as a straight white man because [Walsh-esque reason]" been an unironic take yet?

Cause we've already got republicans proclaiming themselves "the real feminists" somehow for electing a token woman.

Today's North Korea takes are going to single handedly raise the water level by a foot and it's only 8am in DC.

Imagine Stalinism through the lens of an nationalist provincial party bureaucrat who nobody trusted in the party that mostly ended up in charge because everyone above him was either dead or in a south korean prison

Well gay marriage is legal now so they've got to get in the ground work to make the predictions of people marrying their pets come true.

Pet sex is still legal in most states that nominally have sodomy laws on the books isn't it?

The proper american version of Ungern Sternbeg is a white american who thinks he's the reincarnation of Geronimo.

I'm sad it couldn't be Italy or Hungary just for the squirming that take would lead to when they're reminded that these NATO members are run by fascist parties

The maoists being satisfied with just letting the last emperor become a gardener is honestly an incredibly rare mercy for your last king especially considering he literally sided with fascist invaders.

Also like, I hate how it feeds into the orthodox persecution complex, but the romanovs arguably deserved every last bullet for the black hundreds and the circassian genocide

Also like, trans actors get regularly turned down for movie castings because they don't look like what producers are envisioning (which is usually more like someone in bad drag)

The thing about churchill is he did some things that weren't some of the worst crimes perpetrated by man. Ted Heath possibly is the most evil man of the 20th century.

About the only thing Heath has over Thatcher is that he at least managed to muster enough disgust at Enoch Powell to sack him. Thatcher would still have given him a ministry if she could have.

AJ arabic is garbage is really not a hot take, their content tends to have a bunch of both antisemitic and sometimes genocidally anti shia poo poo

the show follows the books pretty faithfully until they run out of books and then it becomes a lazy run through of some notes George gave them.

but yeah Dany is basically that which is why she became the slay queen or whatever.

Heh, even the stuff that's within book content gets a lot of poo poo that vaguely contradicts the books and the showrunners definitely hated the fantasy part of the fact that it's a fantasy series. Early show Stannis and Daenerys are decidedly more heroic than in the books and in a lot of ways later seasons sound less like they ran out of books and more like they stopped giving a gently caress about books, because what book material is still there in later seasons sounds as butchered as everything else.

Maybe DnD are just hacks, basically
