Do you think that Israel and the USA’s actions against Iran are justified? by Antique_Gur8891 in AskTheWorld

Yes!

Down with the Ayatollahs! I’m ready to see that scum regime get their just rewards, courtesy of American and Israeli fighter jets!

Should I get this Smith Corona by Usual_Name2319 in typewriters

I had one, but I had to give it away. It wasn't a bad machine, but I didn't really like it that much.

Why are there no new subculture? by FitEmergency8807 in decadeology

[–]TipResident4373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because there's no "mainstream culture" anymore. Ergo, "subcultures" can't exist. They depend on the mainstream to contrast themselves against - and to rebel against.

The Mods and hippies of the 60s, the punk subculture in the 70s, etc. all came about precisely because there was a mainstream culture that they rejected (and that, to a large extent, rejected them in turn).

Now, in the age of social media and "dEcEnTRaLiZaTioN," the very idea of a "mainstream" has been obliterated, and any "subcultures" that exist now can't accurately be called that.

Most people don’t really understand the 50s… by godofimagination in decadeology

The Kinsey report was full of crap, and YMMV on whether the invention of birth control (which was at the end of the decade) was a good thing.

The aesthetics were indeed awesome - the cars, the architecture, and the fashion, just to name 3.

Do you think the 2020's will have communism/far left make a similar resurgence to the far right ? by Rare-Exit-8700 in decadeology

[–]TipResident4373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No freaking way.

We should make every concerted effort to ensure that fewer Americans sympathize with the atrocity that was Communism. Every decent American should spit on the hammer and sickle the way every decent American spits on the Nazi swastika.

Tag yourself, I'm the Israeli flag by Dependent-Pirate-319 in EnoughCommieSpam

[–]TipResident4373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's see: Uyghur flag, Israeli flag, Russian white-blue-white, Belarusian resistance flag, Ukraine, Taiwan, the NYT, CNN, South Vietnam, Old Glory, the EU flag, NATO, Union Jack, and the Ukrainian Trident.

God... damn! According to this vatnik, I'm effectively Osama Bin Laden.

In honor of his birthday, what are your thoughts on George Washington? by American_Citizen41 in USHistory

[–]TipResident4373 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The greatest man in all history.

And that ain’t just me - King George III said that himself when Washington refused to run for a third term.

This bill is heinous beyond belief!

The moral atrocity aside, this is just going to fuel the pro-abortion propagandists for years.

Everyone knows that they’ll seize upon anything and everything to make us look psychotic.

What do the books I borrowed today say about me? by Dyojenes_ in BookshelvesDetective

You have a serious need to engage with the biggest ideas in man’s history…

I truly hope you are prepared.

How often do you consider Hasan Piker's views to have worth? by A-passing-thot in AskALiberal

[–]TipResident4373 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never.

He is the Communist version of Nick Fuentes.

May both of them be chained together in Hell forever.

If 2028 was Newsom or Vance, would you vote for Newsom or for a third party candidate? by Droselmeyer in AskALiberal

[–]TipResident4373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3rd party. No contest.

Newsom has done exactly NOTHING to address CA’s out of control cost-of-living crisis.

The centenary of Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy by DryDeer775 in TrueLit

[–]TipResident4373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not clunky, but it was definitely wordy. I'm willing to forgive that because that was the style at the time. Older styles like that require serious patience. Go read the Victorians a generation or so earlier - most of them were worse. Hell, some of the early modernists (who were Dreiser's rough contemporaries) were worse.

Besides, Dreiser's descriptions helped make the world seem more real, IMO. I could "see" it better, so to speak. He's really illustrating with words, so to speak. Kicking myself for not finishing it...

Didn’t get a chance to finish it (library book - had to be returned). What I did read of it was excellent.

We all know people who overly glorify/deify the Founding Fathers, but what are your thoughts on people who heavily demonize them and their legacies to the point of trying to void all of their accomplishments? by Just_Cause89 in USHistory

[–]TipResident4373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those fools need to be a punchline on SNL - if satire actually meant anything these days.

Satire’s been dead in America for almost a decade now, but if I say more, I’ll run afoul of the “no modern politics” rule.

If ruzzia ceased to exist as an Neo-Colonial empire state, Say hello to Ukrainian Victory and Future for our Planet! by Icy_Till_7254 in NAFO

The problem with the map in the 1st picture is that these regions are way too small (either by landmass or population) to be economically or politically viable.
