The "acting secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security" is called "chad wolf" (I actually did a legit double take reading that).

I tried reading that thread in gbs for ages and with ex fyad's and cspam people all in full on irony mode I have concluded I am old as gently caress and need a lie down.

Were there supposed to be a load of images in the op that everyone read (my browser seemed to hate all of them)?

Was ppj a well meaning moron or a nasty manipulative fucker?

If anyone can just give a legit reply to the last q at least.

Has anyone else been reading some new books in the new year?

I ask because I got the Iranian book of kings for Christmas and am now worried I am on a watchlist because of it, but it is really well written mythological set up!

Have you ever tried stuff like carl sagan?

To answer your original question, PPJ was on a load of off-site Nazi discords trying to keep on eye on goons being doxxed, but was just yucking it up with said nazis instead

But it was a "genuine" attempt as in he was going "undercover" for the right reasons? Right? - That was my question.

Britain has condemned the arrest of the UK ambassador to Iran as a "flagrant violation of international law".

Rob Macaire was detained after attending a vigil for those who died when Iranian military shot down a passenger plane on Wednesday.

He left when it turned into a protest before being arrested and accused of helping to organise the demonstrations.

In a tweet, Mr Macaire denied taking part in protests and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab condemned his arrest.

Mr Macaire said he was attending the vigil because it was "normal to want to pay respects", adding that some of the victims were British.

The ambassador added: "Arresting diplomats is of course illegal, in all countries."

This is kind of a jokey survey but I genuinely think it illustrates a big problem with UK society. It’s like an entire country is in clinical depression. Someone asks if, in the best possible circumstances, you would want to go to the Moon, and huge swathes of the population say “nah, it’ll be poo poo, innit”.

No wonder we’re voting for the Tories and Brexit when people cannot even imagine things being good.

Who would have thought that Glinner doesn't want workers to control the means of production :thunk:

I got about 10 mins in and gave up. Was he really hungover or something I couldn't even figure out what point he was trying to make?

I'm getting some very weird vibes from this and from all other celebratory brexiteer shenanigans. There's this air of happy, slightly deranged desperation around every development, this strange eagerness to celebrate that feels performative, but in this really quietly odd way that I just can't put my finger on. Not just your usual "they lost their grift so now they're sad but pretend that they're happy" vibes, there's something dream-like, surreal, almost Lynchian about their actions. Like listening to the sound from an old, chewed-up, stretched tape but its actually people. Idk if anybody else gets the same vibes or if it's just me overthinking this lol.

It really reminds me of that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNormalisation adam curtis talks about on that chapo episode.
