Tribalism and self interest do be like that

If there were a hundred thousand articles pushed out for a hundred thousand individuals that still leaves 73 million or whatever willing enablers.

Or Teddy’s forcing the issue causes the same conditions that enabled fascism in Germany and Italy to arise in already segregated America during the Great Depression instead of FDR’s pseudo-social-democracy, and the American Empire that starts WW2 has unlimited oil, coal, steel, and manpower compared to the Nazis. Wilson wasn’t behind American Exceptionalism, he was just silly enough to think it was the same thing as democracy. He was very flawed, obviously, but he was a true believer in the Republic and diplomacy, and no one even tried to make a League of Nations with Teddy at the helm.

Without the Soviets, no one supports the Maoists, so a stable proto-fascist Chiang Kai Shek allies with the Japanese Empire.

They easily crush the unstable, divided, and much less militarized Russian Republic (whose monarchist element was about to start a civil war to reinstate the Tsar) and conquer the European colonies in the Pacific. They are helped in this endeavor by the emerging Polish, Ukrainian, and Baltic partisans who fight for independence in their Russian-occupied states, having never even gained independence during the Revolution.

America, having largely been busy conquering South America, joins the war against the British, French, and Dutch Empires and between the American and Japanese fleets sinks the British Navy in its entirety.

The war is over. Fascism has won, having not made the idiotic mistake of basing itself in Germany and Italy, countries without access to the resources they need to build modern militaries, like rubber and oil, and without the navies they need to fight the people who do own the colonies that make it.

Americans don’t even get public healthcare out of it all.

Alternative history is dumb because you can just say whatever nonsense you feel like to support your narrative.

The end.

And more specifically, a bunch of parasites that demand to be paid a hundred times what the people who do all work start crowding around the trough, even before the stockholders get their cut.

I personally love that he believes the mere act of watching a horror movie or listening to a loud sound can open a demonic fear portal yet his fear of fear portals does not.

General Purpose (of Destroying the Capitalist Pig Dogs By Siding With… Fascists?)

Pretty fucked up to try and repurpose that panel against a character that’s always been anti-fascist (except the times when he was mind controlled obvs)

Real Americans do indeed physically threaten klanskritters.

I was genuinely thinking that it seems like the kind of viral ad a smart (or terminally online) marketing department might come up with.

Leftist is when vegan

…

Is this how I find out all the pet supply industry is eating pet treats?

For people that don’t know the context, it’s about British people doing extremely normal British people things

The one moment in history America has actually stopped a genocide solely because it was a genocide was in Bosnia, and we still bombed hospitals to do it.

• Vote in support of unqualified and fascist Cabinet members even when your vote doesn’t matter one bit to signal that you have absolutely no qualms with playing on Team Destroy What Little Democracy America Has

It’s very nice of you to assume it’s an act.

(But neoliberalism is by definition a branch of liberalism, a broad ideological grouping that includes America when it had widespread chattel slavery and Manifest Destiny)

Fair enough fair enough, but the point of grok is that you can’t really grok grok as a human that grew up on Earth.

Mahmoud:

“‘Grok’ means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the process being observed—to merge, to blend, to intermarry, to lose personal identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science—and it means as little to us as color means to a blind man.”

Probably, but I wouldn’t bet on them having a problem with it.

People give the Teamster president shit for not endorsing Harris but the reality is most of the union has been brain rotted for decades.

The boringly misogynistic screed about how you’re stupid if you aren’t an anarcho-capitalist into polyamory that became popular among nerdy misogynists because it was ahead of the curve on 70’s swinger culture?

Yes, I’ve read it, and I’m aware, it’s a common pairing with his quasi-fascist work in Starship Troopers.

It spent a hundred pages pondering the concept of words in an alien language that don’t necessarily translate to English!

Wow!

Big think!

Don’t let the nerdy ancap incels have it!

arbitrarily

But wait, there’s more!

He’s not just a racist, he’s a rat.

Because you, as an English speaking human, apply the default gender rules to their sex as a language norm.

It’s not complicated. It’s almost like you’re being deliberately dense for some reason.
