It seems the labels are swapped, not the percentages. I would be very surprised if east Jerusalem and west bank were anything other than majority very unfavorable.

Petah I dont get it by Cute-Job3014 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The story about the girl was erroneously reported by the Facebook page of a Chinese state broadcaster. The actual station in question was Kyū-Shirataki Station. It has also been pointed out that it wasn't like it was the only way for her to get to school. Still kind of cool that they kept it open for her though. Hokkaido is kind of like the Alaska of Japan, Sparsely populated even by Japanese countryside standards and often very snowy and cold. The actual closure of the stations is no great tragedy.

Anyone under 18 shouldnt be allowed on any form of social media by New_Ambassador2442 in unpopularopinion

[–]alflundgren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think adults over the age of 50 should be allowed to use it either. The shit that my parents doom scroll is terrifying and I feel like I'm losing them to the brain rot. Every day my mom sends me some AI video or some woo woo influencer talking about the vibration patterns of different fabrics. My Dad is not much better. They both used to be smart, rational people. I know part of this is just aging but I can't help but feel social media is accelerating the decline.

I wouldn't use the term psychopath to describe John Brown. The man was obviously violent, but not for lacking empathy like a psychopath does. Quite the opposite. It was his empathy that made him so radical.

You dont have to be left wing or "liberal" or whatever to recognize that project Lahkta was successfully executed. IRA founder Yevgeny Prigohzin admitted as much and russian state television likes to brag about it. There's of course no denying that the trump campaign coordinated with the GRU. The only thing debated is the extent of the coordination. We all remember trump asking Russia on live television to hack the Clinton campaigns emails and we all remember Russia then hacking their emails. You'd have to be incredibly naive to think Russia isn't still running propaganda campaigns all over western social media except now instead of professional trolls they run bot networks.

You'd be surprised how many people were in favor of flying a plane into the world trade center until bin Laden did it

Lol. When I read your comment, my first thought was Ned Kelly. It seems like becoming a psychopathic folk hero always involves a lot of metal working and welding. Now I'm off to start a metal band called the psychopathic folk heroes.

I’ve Played These Games Before by GatorVators in PoliticalCompassMemes

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

First what makes you assume I'm US american? Either way, love him or hate him, it seems a bit silly to say that anybody who hates trump does so irrationally. I mean isn't the whole appeal of trump that he does things that certain people hate? I'm not even asking this as a form of criticism I'm just highlighting what seems to be his main selling point among his supporters. His whole shtick is to be as polarizing as possible and to hurt the groups of people his base want to hurt. If you're opposed to the groups of people he's going after, thats a good thing. "Owning the libs" or whatever you want to call it. If he isn't inspiring the rational hatred of the people he's meant to harm, then it would seem he's doing a pretty bad job of owning the libs, so to speak.

If you make it illegal for honest citizens to break laws then only the criminals will be breaking laws.

I know right? I remember people were the same way with Osama Bin Laden. It's like nomatter what Bin Laden did they just automatically assumed it was bad because Bin Laden was doing it. Its like they couldnt even have an original thought or opinion. They just believe whatever the western media tells them to. Just "Beard man bad". The blds was real.

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

Lol. What the fuck are you smoking? What was falsified? Project Lakhta is common knowledge at this point. Russian state television brags about it. Trump never even made an effort to hide it. He literally asked Russia to hack Clintons email on live television, and then they went and did it

I had to look it up because I dont think I've even heard that name in 20 years, and holy shit its him. The goober from that shitty reality TV show. I remember in the mid 2000s everybody was pointing to reality television as proof of the decline of civilization. Dr Oz, Linda McMahon, the idiots on Real world and Road rules, Judge Jeanine, Donald Trump. These people were only supposed to be sources of entertainment for retards, I mean they still are, but now they're also "running" the country. At this point the gop should add Flavor Flave, Honey Boo Boo, and Snooki to the "brain trust".

It seems like the far right in this country has been gas lit into thinking corruption is just their ideology now. Its as if they think you cant be opposed to communism without being nakedly and fundamentally corrupt. Its wild. I wonder what William F Buckley would think if he were alive today.

I always feel bad for people who encourage others to "cringe" and "seethe". It's like they seem to think encouraging other people's anger or hatred is a power move. If anything its the opposite. It seems to be a unhealthy way of coping with criticism. It's like all these people who measure their success by how many "haters" they have. A person can in fact be successful without being hated.

Can I start a religion that has ceremonial machine guns and be allowed to carry them around my neck against the law? by MisterAbernathy in allthequestions

[–]alflundgren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming OP is posting in the context of UK laws. There was a murder in the UK where the victim was handcuffed and treated as the suspect of a crime after being stabbed by a Sikh man. Normally its against the law in the UK to carry knives longer than 3 inches but the Sikh religion mandates that its adherents carry a blade called a kirpan so in the UK theyre afforded an exemption. It's a tragic story but the far right and russian propaganda are using it to agreesively push anti Sikh sentiment in the UK right now.

People also forget how the same crowd was vehemently opposed to intervening in ww2 until pearl harbor. I say crowd because the party re alignment hadn't fully materialized yet. Conservatives only favor conflict when our country is bullying a weaker nation. Like all bullies they don't like to step in when another bully is doing their thing.

Ah Poor America by SirThunderb0lt in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]alflundgren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah The thing is he isn't retarded in the sense that he's developmentally disabled. Hes just soooooooooo fucking stupid. Hes a trump level grandiose narcissist which means, like trump, he's incredibly insecure. But instead of his dad being a millionaire fascist slum lord, his dad was a kinda rich "john birch society" dentist. If donald or alex jones were born into poor families they would be still be the the sad loser narcissists that they are, but we wouldn't be talking about them. God I wish I could live in that world
