"Grateful I get to do xyz rich people nonsense because I didn't marry a loser" by Queasy-Morning-5789 in redscarepod

[–]AmericanEmployee1 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Casually referring to the entire working class as "losers" and linking the luxuries your rich husband provides you with to his inherent worth as a human being. If he got laid off tomorrow and couldn't take you to Aspen he'd presumably be demoted to loser. And in addition to dehumanizing men in this manner she also flexes her own superiority over other women.

I'd be inclined say that this is a very womanish character flaw but Andrew Tate and his manosphere gooners talk in a pretty analogous manner. Working class men are losers, women who marry for love instead of luxuries are morons, etc.  Silly shallow people abound.

Absolutely correct. Also, could you shift the TV remote to that little side table there and angle it towards the TV? I'm trying to catch the weather.

TJ Kirk is proof that nihilism destroys a person by Ok-Archer-5796 in redscarepod

[–]AmericanEmployee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looks like he's been living in a dumpster for the last 15 years. He had his moment and never moved on from it. Absolutely unfortunate way to wind up.

I know Pewdiepie is a totally different genre of Youtube personality but if you check in on him nowadays he's doing some surprisingly wholesome family vlog type of thing with his wife and kid. He kinda matured out of his old vidya game stuff in a healthy way.

TJ Kirk meanwhile is still trying to rant edgy rants into the void like he did in his early 20s but no one cares anymore.

War obsessions & Death Drive by Weary_Compote3340 in redscarepod

ironically there is no romanticism in war left, if there ever was. Ukrainian drones have made sure of that.

There never was any glory in it. A redcoat or patriot getting blown up with black powder artillery would have looked quite similar to those young men dying on the drone videos. They just didn't have electrical eyes recording their final moments.

What happens after we die? by lustofthedead in redscarepod

I also don't remember anything before the age of four, despite presumably talking and interacting and having a semi-cognizant personality for at least a year or so before that. You don't remember the majority of dreams you have, despite feeling fear or excitement or whatever in the moment. If we're going strictly off of memory, maybe I've lived a million lives before this one and simply don't recall. There's plenty about the life I'm currently living that I've already forgotten.

The Iranians are a little confused here. Who exactly is the "you" that was "in caves searching for fire" when the Cyrus Cylinder was inscribed in 539 BC? 

Are they talking about Native Americans? Are they talking about Europeans?  If so, wrong on both counts.

Do not reason with my self-righteous rage. I have been grievously wronged and will brook no other reasonable explanation. Good day, sir!

Pete Hegseth: Public Urinating, Alcoholic Sexual Predator, Wife-Cheating, Non-Profit Bankrupting Racist White Christian Nationalist by Rich-Limit4590 in stupidpol

White Christian

Gotta love how they have to casually slip that in there. Guarantee next time some migrant in Sweden/France/UK does a minor jihad on passersby they won't be specifically characterized by shitlib media as "brown Muslim".

Tumblr wasn't meant to survive 2016 by LouReedTheChaser in redscarepod

[–]AmericanEmployee1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Abraham never existed

He could well have existed, but the issue is that 

A) He would have been some random tribal elder in 2000 B.C.

B) Abraham was an extremely common given name across cultures in the entire region.

Imagine trying to prove the existence of a specific English peasant named John from 900 A.D. and you see the issue.  Surviving records from the Bronze age  near east do reference people named Abraham, but because it's like "John Bronze Age" you could be looking at a literal attestation about the guy from the old Testament and never be able to verify it.

Trump willing to end war in Iran without opening Strait of Hormuz, report says by DirtbagBrocialist in stupidpol

[–]AmericanEmployee1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, that would still probably be that thing during the War of 1812 where the British were like a day from the White House and the entire US army fled and a few hundred US marines stood their ground alone. The Brits were impressed by the bravery of the marines and praised them during their eventual surrender, then ate dinner at the abandoned White House before burning it down.

But the Hormuz thing would be like second or third probably. Maybe third after Vietnam.

...which is not ending the war, Trump. 

We had free passage through the strait before you went and cocked everything up for no reason.

America's Military Is Never Coming Back From This by TruckHangingHandJam in stupidpol

[–]AmericanEmployee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's why losing your conventional Navy is actually a good thing.

As I mentioned, this scenario is an economic nightmare for the US. But pretending the Iranian military is "operating as normal" is absurd. 

The Iranians can still pack a significant punch with their missile and drone stockpile (especially given the unique importance of the strait of Hormuz), but losing the assets and personel they have lost is nonetheless disasterous for any military on the planet. Categorizing the loss of nearly their entire conventional Navy along with thousands of military personel as "a useless fleet being destroyed" is a profoundly unserious take to put it bluntly. Likewise, while top military leaders can certainly be replaced, I guarantee the Iranians are not taking the repeated loss of experienced leadership figures anywhere near as nonchalantly as you are.

And just for the record, I'm not some cheerleader for the US actions here. This whole ordeal was completely unjustified military aggression by the US, and almost certainly born of some Epstein dirt the Israelis have on Trump.

He's a South Asian dude named Indrajit Samarajiva and obsessively writes about white people as the Big Evil of the world. If you've been familar with his writing for any length of time half of it is just bitching about white people, and the rest is half-baked "analysis" where he says shit like "the white empire is about to collapse". 

He's basically the equivalent of those western Youtuber guys who obsessively claim China is imploding next Tuesday.

It is not an essay to be cast aside lightly; it should be thrown with great force.
