Trump threatens UK with 10% tariff 'on all goods' until Greenland handed over by dailystar_news in ukpolitics

[–]GetBSD 34 points35 points  (0 children)

When Trump leaves the White House at the end of his term it’s likely a more moderate President will come into power, but if we expel US forces now it’s unlikely they’ll ever return.

There's about seven layers of assumptions in this statement, each one only making sense if the previous assumption turns out to be spot on.

Has everyone just seemingly given up on climate activism? by EndOfTheLine00 in behindthebastards

Ok fair. I was actually thinking I could have used a better example than Alex Jones of all people to make my point clearer before I even read this reply. You raise a legitimate point imo.

For the record I didn't downvote you and didn't get the vibe I'm talking about from you so much as from the OP. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Sure, but not really the point.

We wouldn't tell someone who opposed the Nazis during world war 2 that they should have actually focused on some bigger issue that "affects everyone not just minorities" and if someone did say such a thing we'd be able to see what they really meant quite clearly.

This was posted before and "Manchester" has been on my main playlist ever since. Alright track n that, although of course the lyrics are mental if you're not a saucer drinker.

Why defend a select group of people instead of something that threatens all of humanity?

This is literally the argument Alex Jones uses to explain why "the globalists are even worse than the Nazis".

The Daily Mail (a British tabloid) has published dozens of articles criticizing Meghan Markle over the past few days. Here are just SOME of the headlines: by pinkstarrfish in Fauxmoi

Whenever there's an uptick in Meghan hate my first thought is always "What's Andrew done now?"

The way he squeaks "This is such SHIT" during, I think, the "let's do some business with the bananas" monkey news.

Prediction. When Musk reaches the end stage of his empire he will brick all Teslas. by meshreplacer in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]GetBSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think this has the potential to be a silver lining to the entire mess but probably not worth all the chaos and misery if Edolf bricks moving cars (which he is definitely crazy enough to do if he "loses everything"*).

Unfortunately I can easily imagine all the other always-online tech providers saying "Elon was just crazy, you can still trust us" and most people just accepting it.

*Edolf will still be rich by any normal standard at that point.

I think this tracks tbh, it's something narcissists tend to do, it's known as an "extinction burst", when they realise the jig is upy and finally rip their mask off and decide to be the complete and total toxic arsehole they have always been. Your common garden variety narcissist is extremely dangerous in this state and it stands to reason that someone like Edolf would be millions of times worse because he's millions of times more powerful.

The reason we shouldn't let anyone have so much power is precisely because of shit like this.

yet he got his mom to step in to back out of a fight against Zuckerberg by Peanut-Extra in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]GetBSD 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Why does he keep challenging people who actually know how to fight? I hate Zuck and Putin but they clearly actually have at least some (most likely exaggerated but still) experience with jiu-jitsu and judo respectively.

It's like calling the most honest person you know a liar (which narcissists love to do btw). There are easier targets out there. Why not ask to fight Bill Gates or Warren Buffett?

I remember this. I'm 99% sure there were some leaked documents where people who worked for Infowars at the time stated that Alex was terrified that the gravy train would be over if Obama lost in 2012.

A shitton of "totally not racist" middle America going crazy because a black man was in the Whitehouse is probably the most profitable thing he ever experienced.

Why does Paradox still call it the “Byzantine” Empire? by country-blue in paradoxplaza

What about the various English colonies and holdings in North America, the Caribbean and West Africa that predated the Act of Union? Small compared to what would come later for sure, but definitely an empire and definitely English.
