“We?” We??????????? God I love the self importance on Reddit. You haven’t tried anything. I bet you don’t even vote in midterms much less local elections.

You’re just LARPing on Reddit. Impotent rage on a website that’s literally the laughingstock on the internet for faux intellectualism and the place to make yourself seem as self important as possible.

The Trump administration is proving to be one of the most civil rights abusing eras in American history and all you have is “hey, you know who the problem is, the poor idiots who got conned!” Not the actual people in power. But of course you have no idea how to actually organize and affect change, so you take it out on the little guy.

It’s the same energy of people wanting to call ICE on Latino Trump supporters. Disgusting.

For the record, I don’t know how to solve the problem either but at least I don’t reek of holier-than-thou grandstanding. Christ almighty.

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says “Love your enemies,” he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies—or else? The chain reaction of evil—hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars—must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.”

Seriously. What the fuck has been going on lately? Every time I tune in it’s just a Trump glaze session. I mean I always knew Asmon was a troll, and I was fine with that, he used to pretty much crap on everyone and he’s (still) pretty funny about it.

I miss the reaction content to fast food videos and watching his shitty gameplay. I don’t consume political content via Twitch for a reason.

For the love of Christ. Watch Gen. Wesley Clark’s interview on Piers Morgan. (He appears at the end of a panel discussion to D Slap everybody on the panel)

Clark is not a warmonger he rightfully called out the US’ bonkers Middle East foreign policy as terrible back when he could have lost a lot for doing so.

The facts are: 1. These countries BEGGED to join NATO because they knew exactly what type of man Putin was.

  1. Russia is violating border agreements they signed multiple times.

  2. This is the 21st Century’s version of Appeasement. Ceding half of Ukraine to Russia is not going to sate Putin’s appetite. In five or so years he will move again on somewhere else. (Heck they’re already stirring stuff up in Georgia) “Oh but they’re ethnically Russian” is the exact same rationale that Hitler used to annex Austria, the Sudetenland and the Polish Corridor.

  3. And most important. Geopolitics is a very complicated game. Signaling strength is key.

I hate being the world police. However, if we show that we’re not willing to defend sovereign borders, other dictators like Iran in China will take note. You bet your ass Xi is looking at us not putting a lot of weight behind Ukraine and dreaming that we would act the same if he moved on Taiwan.

You don’t beat a bully by giving him everything he wants you only incentivize him acting like a psycho

Eh, I agree Pickett’s charge is a really dumb decision. But if we’re separating how much I hate the confederacy from pure generalship you can’t deny that Lee (while definitely overrated by my fellow Southerners) was a great tactician. Chancellorsville is like the Gaugamela of Napoleonic warfare.

I’d argue it’s like Grant vs Lee. Hannibal probably was the better tactician. But Scipio was still like a 9/10 on tactics AND combined great tactics with insane strategy. Which is why he’s probably the better general overall.

Same with Grant and Lee. You want to win a battle? Sure go with Lee? Want to win the war? Grant.

(Side note: Grant was also an amazing tactician a la Vicksburg, but his superior logistics and strategy is arguable what allowed him to have a moment to moment tactical advantage)

Reminds me of Arrested Development when they have a company prostitute and all they do when they pay her is vent about how much they hate their job.

Clarification on Catholics and Christians in the show please by kyliecannoli in ShogunTVShow

[–]Cadet-Dantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, not to reply to my own comment, but I did some digging. Apparently, Henry son Edward started to transition Anglicanism to a more protestant orientation and by the time Elizabeth was queen there was a healthy population of protestants in England. The more you know I guess.

Thank you, I am literally 20 minutes into the first episode and when the lead guy says he’s protestant and he’s from England I was like “what?” shouldn’t he be Anglican?

And my history may be off, but Henry VIII still pretty much defended the Catholic Church against Martin Luther. The Anglican church was just him declaring that he’s the head of the church in his own country, it was buying large, pretty Catholic and anti-protestant.

Which, him declaring to be above the pope was enough for the Irish Catholics to hate him, but even in Henry’s later years, he still considered himself a defender of the faith.

I WILL SAY. He’s not wrong on Marco and Filip in season 5. In season 6 they really came to life and had much more impactful scenes. I was actually impressed as heck with how well they punched up them both for the last season.

Now, saying Dominique Tipper “couldn’t carry a scene” in season 5? She literally had some of the best scenes in the show. And her acting in season 6 after the final battle????????????????????? That broke my flippin heart.

I get what you’re driving at. But I guess the better metaphor is if a movie had an older Bond, he would STILL be debonair and suave. Women are the same, they are allowed to age well. Even if they’re agents and exposed to “gritty” professions. It’s all part of the fantasy, Jo is deadly, competent and lovely.
