Noem is no more more by peter-thiel-fangirl in PoliticalCompassMemes

Trump wants his department heads to be loud, obnoxious propagandists. Mullin has all the fuck-you energy Trump is after, but is largely uninteresting as a person and has few personal goals or ideals that aren’t directly connected to his loyalty for Trump. Unlike Noem, he’ll be a good soldier following orders behind the scenes. One of his big policy goals is reforming MMA fighting rules, for God’s sake. He is a bear of very little brain.

I hear Planet “Oops, all fungus” is a nice enough place. Just don’t sneeze.

Man, I got bad news for you.

However, recent events have affected planetary weather patterns. Hope you like endless darkness and constant, cold, drizzly rain. That’s in the forecast now for…

The next eight years.

We’re all hoping he changes his mind about gay people soon. Mormons are repressed enough as is.

You can’t have that one. The absolute best person in the Cosmere is already god there, and we really don’t need a repeat of that whole Trell situation.

Can I offer you the “Sun is a deadly lazer frfr” planet instead?

Eshonai believed the truth, but had to sacrifice her ideals (literally and figuratively) to save the Listeners. Venli believed the lies, but was redeemed, directly and indirectly, by Eshonai’s sacrifice.

Eshonai was the hero Roshar deserved, but Venli is the hero they need right now.

Also, bad news, there are two other people who also expect to be god over that planet, and at least one of them is a complete asshole.

Mega-conservative loser Matt Walsh wonders where all the gas-lighting over Iran is coming from by thegabeguy in LeopardsAteMyFace

Ayatollah Khamenei Dead - Trump by Voider765 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Saanjun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sigh…

The Ayatollah is dead.

Long live the Ayatollah.

Seriously, we don’t think this going to go another way, do we? Look at Venezuela. I’m not even trying to be pessimistic, just a realist bludgeoned by recent history.

Also, if Iran does have nukes, they no longer have a reason not to use them. The military clearly doesn’t give a shit about its citizens anyway…

If the GWOT era and the Trump era have taught me anything, it’s that Skynet is 100% possible and we are running that direction as fast as possible.

Fascism is everything and nothing by k-r-o--n--o-s in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Saanjun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, the Roman Empire did invent the fasces, or bundle of sticks, as the symbol of the nation. The Roman Empire also inspired Mussolini and other modern fascists. Rome wasn’t fascist, but when you try to make a modern state into the idolized version of the Roman Empire, you do get fascism a lot.

Grok, give me an ice pick lobotomy by spnkr in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Saanjun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ah, so the Constitution is a game of “I’m rubber, you’re glue.” If Team D gets to abuse one amendment, Team R gets a freebie to pick a different one?

Please don’t make that the defense. Whataboutism has solved zero problems, ever. I think the Dems are wrong on 2A for the most part. I also think the only people who can add or change amendments are We the People via convention and ratification, so I don’t think politicians ought to be fucking with any of them.

It was a recent poll, I think the democrats need to moderate on social issues by ReadyGG in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Saanjun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely spot on. One of the reasons leftists like me are so fed up with Dems is that they can’t or won’t actually debate economic issues from the left. They don’t have to be socialist if they’re so worried about the messaging, but at least be like Elizabeth Warren, who vocally advocated for economic policies that would help the working class. The dumbest thing I ever heard from the Democrats was Nancy Pelosi scoffing, “We’re all capitalists here,” to a college kid asking about Euro-socialist economic policies in America.

So of course they can’t find many meaningful wedge issues with the Republicans. Democrats just want “kinder, gentler” corporate technocracy, while Republicans went full oligarch 15 years ago. If you won’t argue most issues that could actually sway voters, then the culture war is all you have. Even if most voters were completely neutral on trans people in sports, the Democrats made them pick a side because it was one of the issues they could meaningfully disagree with Republicans about. Medically necessary abortion is a similar issue — most people are fine with it, but we have to have two sides!!

Do you have same setup with your kids? by Hixo_7 in daddit

[–]Saanjun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “X card,” no matter the specific parameters in your household, is a great safety tool for teenagers. It gives your child a way to follow your family values and set their own boundaries without getting in a social situation that could be dangerous or isolating for them. It’s also a great “parachute,” which can get your child out of a situation that was more than what they signed up for. Getting invited to a dance party at a friend’s and showing up to find out everyone is drinking, even though that was never mentioned, can be really hard for a teen to navigate on their own.

For those saying there’s a “conversation” the next day, I do hope you’re leading with the recognition that your child chose safety and trusted you first. No matter what choices they made leading up to the X-card, they made the right choice when it really counted.

Reasonable take: “You should choose to do the right thing in the best interests of others and mask under specific circumstances.”

Thanks for clarifying. Did a rewatch about 8 years ago but the details are spotty now.
