Oh I get that. I was once deeply involved in World War 2 strategy games, including development. I have spent more time reading slope armor debates and suffered enough Clean Wehrmacht myth arguments than a normal healthy mind can (or should) withstand.
I like to think I closed the loop at myself and didn’t subject normies to it.
She’s been playing the rigged game of D.C. with what appear to be honest and good intentions.
She also has a team of staffers that seem well embedded into the D.C. way of doing things.
I think if she bucked some of the more establishment advisors and got some people more capable with social media and streaming she’d fly.
I think she’s waiting for more Mamdanis and El-Sayeds. Which again, I think is that D.C. mindset of only acting on a sure-thing or a done-deal.
It was used in Afghanistan and let me tell you, a lot worse than ‘cope cages’ were used.
Growing up I had a teacher that actually had a field trip centered around going to the Lloyd Center. It was weird then, feels weird now, but nostalgic nonetheless.
I feel like responding to BadEmpanada is just a trap and anyone who doesn’t know it by now is just feeding into it. He’s just going to keep trying to sow and reap controversy.
There was an odd period of time in America where a large portion of the population got their political information and social awareness from the Comedy Central television network.
The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and South Park.
If you’re not helping me carve up France for the glory of Orthodox HRE, what are we even doing?
A little of both.
I always felt his style doesn’t quite fit the anime faces.
But almost all anime looks like the Potato Jesus on some level to me, so maybe it’s just me.
They were, by most accounts, more akin to martyrdom. The participants in the ritual warfare all signed up, essentially, to die. The idea was not to kill your enemy, but take them prisoner for the sacrifice. It was sort of an honor, in a way.
Before the Aztecs it was mostly high ranking prisoners of war that were sacrificed in mesoamerica. (Think how warlords and rebelling generals are often executed when they lose.)
Explaining reasoning? That threatens the defense mechanism designed to keep outgroups out.
Maintaining zero comprehension is the point. You’re out here making comments designed to get brains thinking.
had some good and informative posts, comments, discussions
It was also heavily curated and controlled. You likely didn’t see any of the comments pointing out omissions and inaccuracies since they’d be hidden and the users shadowbanned.
Which is part of the reason keywords on an instance level can be a poor way to control and curate content. It’s just going to miss those who know how to game and bypass these systems and use it as a weapon as part of some kind of moderation arms race.
I should probably add there’s also been a community on my instance dedicated to portraying Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and .ml in the worst possible way, usually by taking a single comment or DM out of context. The user running it finally fucked off from the Fediverse just a month or two back.
Since that community is now being run by overt Zionists who are into spreading outright doctored screenshots, hopefully it’ll fall into long overdue irrelevance. If you ever see the term ‘tankie triad’ that’s probably one of them.
That’s entirely the point. Primaries, especially in non-presidential election years, are notorious for extremely low voter turnout.
The candidate in this senate primary pulled more votes than the nominee in a presidential general election.
Abdul got 15899 votes in Dearborn in this primary election.
Kamala Harris got 15189 votes in Dearborn during the general presidential election.
I think that is a meaningful statistic.
And it’s a primary.
With excessive effort and patience you can work that down to: “You will never have been born a biological female, so I don’t accept you in any way.”
That’s a hell of an edit.
