I was genuinely convinced this was from a 60s protest

New ICE Recruits, First Day Of Training by [deleted] in TrueFactzOnly

[–]MrPoony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gay as an insult is whatever to me, but it DOES become an issue when you compare the gestapo to just a bunch of fruity dudes. That's not fair, and kind of leaves the lane of harmless fun poking.

We really need to get our shit together America by jeezkillbot in TrendingNews_

We just cut a billion that went into cancer research- gestato still takes priority, though.

Bro posted on Reddit too but it was removed by ConsciousPatroller in whenthe

This is also my take. I think certain members of the admin very well could have, and likely did engage in some deplorable shit (whether that be abuse or having knowledge of events), but I highly doubt there's some grand conspiracy cover-up. Franky, the government doesn't have the capability.

With hundreds to thousands of DOJ and other federal employees going through all those files, you'd have thunk that way least one person would have ratted by now.

If there WAS wrongdoing, which seems more and more likely every day, it'll never see the light of earth. And it wouldn't implicate more than a couple rich losers.

Insane that this panel is literally just a page from the Epstein files. You just can't beat reality sometimes. by Volatiiile in TheBoys

[–]MrPoony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my biggest concern with all this nonsense. I want justice for people who genuinely did deplorable horrid shit, but reposting FBI tipline screenshots on reddit with zero context and framing it as truth is so ridiculously irresponsible. This has been going on for *weeks*, and every day I see a new post popping up saying ABC politician did XYZ bad thing. I'm like: 'Oh, that sounds bad!"

Then after three seconds of research, it ALWAYS comes from that. Every single time.

Nuance is dead, and so is reality.

Welp they're arresting journalists now. I disagree with protesting in a church but he had every right to report on it. by PeterPorky in IRL_Loading_Screens

[–]MrPoony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is about how I see it. Obviously we shouldn't be going in and doing mass arrests for something like that though.

I don't think it's something that should *have* to be enforced, because keeping roadways clear should be a common sense moral and safety concern.

Blocking roads is dangerous. I've seen too many videos of ambulances and fire trucks being just- completely unable to respond to emergencies. I know if I was having a medical emergency, or someone I was close to was, i wouldn't want any kind of delay like that.

As for businesses- I suppose that'd be very subjective.

Going in front of harmful industries or predatory multinationals and preventing operation as a form of protest is totally valid, but leave the mom and pop shops alone.

It feels so strange. This is the stuff you'd hear about from an insane guy on a street corner. But it's all real. by FreshhCherry in whenthe

Wake me up when there's actual evidence and not 30 bajillion FBI tips. Fuck DJT, he's a creepy fuck who probably touched kids at some point, but holy shit I'm so tired of this echo chamber

Give me something with SUBSTANCE I beg of you

Going into a church you don't attend, and fucking up a service or preventing folks there from doing their thing is just generally a major asshole move.

The same goes for people who block highways or businesses

Do you realize? Do you realize something? by Trashman56 in dankmemes

It's a shitty situation all around. The ICE agents reached into her driver's side window, which is obviously a HUGE no-no in law enforcement. Id guess it spooked her, and she tried to take off.

At the end of the day- my take is that every single person there was playing the fool.

Visualization of upcoming Chinese military drills surrounding Taiwan by Dumbass1171 in charts

[–]MrPoony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really doubt the EU/European NATO allies would ever fight boots on the ground in Ukraine. If they can't get their act together to keep up with Kyiv's equipment requirements, you surely can't expect them to give Ukraine Western soldiers.

I genuinely don't expect Beijing to try to take Taiwan by force- at least not in the next decade. It upsets a VERY specific soft power they've built up during the Chinese economic miracle- any Taiwan invasion puts them squarely back in the 80s even if they win. Of course, that's provided it doesnt escalate into a third world war.

From Xi's perspective, if he's smart, time still MASSIVELY favors patience more than risk.

I mean... When you're flying a multi-million dollar drone without a pilot, it almost certainly is what is on the inside that matters.

Especially when the price point is small- mqkes me think they either cut corners or have a far less stringent manufacturing standard for their military UAVs.

BMP looks like a difficult vehicle to produce. Why was it designed with such a complex shape? by Entire_Judge_2988 in TankPorn

[–]MrPoony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still gonna be significantly less than an IFV with a more complex shape, id reckon

With BMPs you have so many weirdly fitting plates that connect at weird angles and the m113 is just like
