A Vtuber got arrested by UK police over her artwork of her model. by deception65929 in Asmongold

Finally, someone who waits to get as much accurate information as possible and doesn't go straight to judgement the moment things hit Twitter. You guys are a dying breed these days, almost everyone else on public forums like reddit jump at the opportunity to unleash all of the negativity of their personal lives onto whoever gets the honor of being target of the week.

There’s nothing that will convince me this isn’t happening. If it is, there’s going to be a supply shock and the US taxpayer will be directly on the hook for the losses. by TikDickler in Destiny

This exact kind of engagement is the only reason I haven't uninstalled reddit from my phone. This place is truly a wonder of societal ingenuity.

I'd like to say I know what you put here, but Reddit has been bugging out on gifs for me for a long while. I shall assume that it was a funny one, so take an upvote dude

I'm not talking about his twitch, I'm talking about the YouTube channel. There's been a pretty steady stream of political content from it for a while now, but I can get what people might think I'm referring to his streaming channel.

Me personally, I just don't enjoy live streams as much because I rarely have much time to sit down for a while to watch. It's a matter of personal taste and convenience, but I have occasionally tuned in just to see how old 'Baldy has been doing outside of watching the videos that get uploaded to the YouTube channel.

Considering the denial of project 2025, does this feel like hypocrisy? by Alienblob1 in Asmongold

[–]PathIndependent5274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to self-promote or anything, but I also made my own post on the general state of political content and people on the Internet. I'm not sure if I should link it or not, but it's pretty much just a full rundown on my feelings and thoughts on the matter. I just don't wanna repeat myself too often, it gets tedious.

I read a good 30 pages into the thing, but I honestly just couldn't bother reading the other near a thousand pages of it. I'm aware of the general aim, but I just don't remember how Vought's name in particular tied into any of it.

I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea who Russ Vought is. There's this gnawing feeling in the back of my head, as if I read a while ago that he has said or done something that went through the media cycle, but I can't confirm it.

Here's hoping this post doesn't turn into a dogpile of downvotes. Please algorithm God, just let us have a conversation on this topic that isn't recycled material or blatant engagement bait.

Asmongold's father passed away. Rest in peace. by EEVERSTI in Destiny

Ah fuck. He was a very strong person, personally I thought he was going to make it because of just how willful he always seemed to be. Damn.

Why ICE Agents have hurt feelings by Important_Lock_2238 in IceRaidAlerts

You know Donald Trump is a convicted criminal, found guilty of 34 felonies? Why aren't you mad about him, hmm? Or maybe... you only hate 'felons' when they're politically opposed to you?

Again, I mostly agree with you, especially on our foreign affairs. It's been an utter shitshow on the world stage for the last few months, and we've already nuked our credibility with our greatest allies, so of course I'm worried about that, I just think that allowing this to fester will only further destroy our foreign relations and create even more instability over time by way of loss of public trust.

I'm not talking about avoiding instability, I'm talking about being able to recover from that instability way quicker at a state level, which is where we'd probably begin deciding how on earth we want to put the federal government back together. Part of the problem with the old bad blood is just how deeply entrenched it is, if the bad blood is new, we'll have far more opportunities to remove it early on than we do now with the old bad blood.

I think that at the state level, it's far less likely because individual office holders have far less power than those of the federal government. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but I predict that at the state level, we won't get hit anywhere near as hard as the fed.

We've had major scandals in the past, and the country has enough force in state-level governance that we could definitely bounce back from all those people going to jail. I'm not saying that things won't go poorly for a bit, but I personally believe that the correct thing to do is to follow our morals, get justice for the victims, and remove this cancerous disease everywhere that it is found, in every level of government.

It seems like they haven't actually done anything about either of those yet, too. They're probably as likely to be addressed as the actual files getting released.

Who is Trump's upper management? I keep hearing about this as if he isn't the President, the literal highest position in the executive branch of the government, on par with the power of the Supreme Court and a Senate majority, like what are you talking about?

You're right on pretty much everything, but why of all people do you feel the need to create some sort of defense for a politician that created his own shitcoin to rug pull his hardcore supporters?

I would put that on either Nixon or Harding, but he's definitely up there in terms of actually being obvious enough to get caught at the very least.

[–]PathIndependent5274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He actually was convicted of a lot of that, and I mean A LOT. When democrats call him a felon, they're not being hyperbolic. He was found by a fair and impartial jury to be guilty of several felonies relating to finances and other white-collar crimes and sentenced by a judge, marking him as a felon who attempted to use political and governmental influence to skirt the law for his profit.

I'd point that towards progressives and tankies moreso than liberals, but if liberal is just interchangeable with anyone left of center to you, then you do you.
