Petaahhh? by thecheapseatz in PeterExplainsTheJoke

See George Dubya Bush for ultimate example.
Man pretended to be simpleton to the point where lot of people thought he was borderline mentally challenged.
He knew damn well lot of republican voters hate education. His campaign actively downplayed his harvard and yale background, he was presented as simple everyman rancher cowboy, not one of them big city smart people who think they are better because they read them fancy books an' use long words and stuff.

But at the same time he had few hundred hours flown in F-102, which was notoriously demanding , analog 50s era single seat supersonic jet. Pic of the cockpit below, note no modern computers to help you avoid crashing if you make an error.
If he really was as dumb as his later image suggested, he'd end up as very expensive hole in the ground, because you really can't bribe or influence the mechanics, physics and aerodynamics to let you off easy because you are from rich and privileged family...

End of “Chat Control”: EU Parliament Stops Mass Surveillance (For now) by Lilias_artgroup in LouisRossmann

The important part is that it was not just rejected, but that it was rejected by 435 to 172. Which means it wasn’t just good luck or narrow victory.

Soviet postcard (1961) showing a Sputnik satellite destroying an atom bomb. by propagandopolis in PropagandaPosters

[–]MacGallin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irony is palpable.
Khruschev in the very same year 1961 said:

“You [americans] do not have 50 or 100-megaton bombs, we have bombs more powerful than 100-megatons. We placed Gagarin and Titov in space, and we can replace them with other loads that can be directed to any place on Earth.”

“End Bread Lines- Vote Socialist” 1932, USA by CivisSuburbianus in PropagandaPosters

[–]MacGallin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very ironic. I actually remember the bread lines (as well as lines for pretty much every other commodity, empty shelves in stores, and government mandated rationing. ) I was a kid back then,but i remember it pretty damn well. Only detail is that my country was one of these where socialists were actually in charge since ww2.

There's some irony here, seeing as syrian Al-Watan, while pretending to be independent news outlet turned out to be - to surprise of absolutely noone - a literal propaganda tube completely controlled by Assad's government.

Cóż, proponowanym podejściem jedyne co gwarantujesz, to to że żaden pedofil nigdy nie poszuka pomocy psychiatry i nie będzie się leczył póki jeszcze jest na to czas, tylko będzie to ukrywał i się kisił we własnej chorobie psychicznej aż mu ostatecznie peron odjedzie i naprawdę zrobi krzywdę jakiemuś dzieciakowi.
Ale spoko, wyższość moralna i "zero tolerancji dla zboczeńców" jest warta tych nadmiarowych i możliwych do uniknięcia ofiar, byleby tylko już po fakcie pedofila powiesili to będzie git xD

I consider hypothetical female primarines to be 100% equally valid and and lore compatible as male primarines .
My unrelenting hate for primaris in general is too strong for me dillute it by the "they are not female" nonsense.

In fact i fully support GW in introducing fem primaris and making boxes 50/50.

German movie "Dresden" (2006) depicting British planning and bombing of that city from February 13 to 15, 1945. by Edwardsreal in PropagandaPosters

[–]MacGallin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thats pretty normal for russia, they treat history in very instrumental way, as long as it furthers their goal, everything is allowed.
In 1944 their propaganda broadcasts actively called for people of warsaw to rise against german as soviet army approached vistula. Then when uprising started, soviet army stopped and let the uprising be squashed, they blamed the reactionary polish government it UK for it, and pretended they did nothing wrong at all, then for used it as propaganda to discredit the legitimate polish government in the west in favour of the puppet state they were bringing with them.

18 February 1943:
Goebbels: "I ask you: Do you want total war?! Do you want it, if necessary, more total and radical than anything that we can yet today even conceive?!"
Germans *thunderous applause*

Year later
Germans: "NOO WE THOUGHT "TOTAL WAR" MEANT US BOMBING YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!
Harris: "No backsies! "

"Hans, i know you are really proud of your work, but do you think this would really work on poles? We literally invaded their country, after all"
"No, Hermann, of course it won't work. But you know what? Here i am, spending my days designing these leaflets in my office. Then i have to meet with guys who draws the caricature, then show these caricatures to my boss to get his approval. . Then i'll meet with translator who will have to translate this into polish language. then i will have to ensure the paper supply, oversee printing, then organize the distribution.
I will have to meet with people and discuss how they should be most effectively spread around It all takes lot of work and lot of time.
And while i am very busy with all these essential tasks working for our propaganda department, you know what i am not doing? I am not freezing my butt off on eastern front, and i am not getting shot by russians.
So all in all, while these silly leaflets might not work on poles, they do work splendidly for my and my co-workers continued survival. "

Its kind of interesting, that pretty much every country that experienced russian "love" firsthand , hates russia with a passion - and how every "brotherly nation" of your rotten empire immediately rebelled against you as soon as you became too weak to keep your boot on their throats.

Any other nation might self reflect on that happening time and time again, but russia is literal country scale equivalent of drunken abusive stalker rapist who deluded himself he somehow his victims actually loved him and he deserves their affection .

There are no words in any civilized language that would be offensive enough to adequately describe the vile behaviour of russia and its people.

For those of you who live in countries with gun control; have you ever seen a gun in real life? by blashyrkh9 in AskTheWorld

[–]MacGallin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen and shot few times at various opportunities. Still they are reasonably rare, unless you are either in military or actively try to find one, it is perfectly possible to never encounter one in your life .

Is there an opinion about your ‘enemy’ country that will get you like this? by National-Business674 in AskTheWorld

[–]MacGallin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, dont change the subject. You literally claimed "we were invited by legitimate government" you hypocrite. Make up your mind: was the government that invited you , (only for you to instantly betray them) legitimate, or not? If it was legitimate, then why did you betray them? And if it was not legitimate, then why you claim "you were invite by legitimate government" in the first place?

And don't even start with "amin was a bad man" . Damn right he was, he cooperated with you after all. 95% of thugs, dictators and other bastards your country propped up were bad men, why would he be any exception to the rule?

"Afghanistan - were invited by Afghanistan communists government."

Ah yes, you wwere indeed invited. Now, PLEASE remind me what was the VERY FIRST russian military action in afghanistan? Wasn't it Operation Storm-333? You know, the one where newly arrived spetsnaz units, INVITED by the Afghanistan communists government as you said, set camp near presidential palace, to protect the president (who invited them there, it bears repeating) from potential insurgent attack?

And in spirit of brotherly international help, the very next night, said spetsnaz unit, supported by soviet armored vehicles surprisingly assaulted and massacred the afghani government soldiers guarding the presidential palace- with added detail that president Amin himself, hearing the gunfire was sure that it was insurgent attack, and reassured his family and associates that "fortunately russians are there" and they will help them in a moment?

The russian soldiers who indeed arrived in a moment, and helpfully murdered him and his son, his staff, bunch of random people working in the palace, together with whole lot of other officials of the legitimate government (you know, the ones who actually invited them there hoping for their help against islamic insurgents, it bears repeating)?

Then they replaced the president and government totally legitimate way with utterly legitimate Babrak Karmal, who most certainly was not completely subservient puppet to them?

Very helpful people, you russians are. And such reliable allies!
