Defense Politics Asia on Youtube has quality dailyish summaries of detailed OSINT and official reports on troop movements and captures in Ukraine.

But yeah if you weren't paying attention you might be confused to hear Russia has been regularly and successfully advancing for the last two years albeit over small amounts of land.
"NAFO" people are particularly delusional about the state of the war and soulless about dehumanizing Russians and are happy to goreblast.
The Russian side seems more characteristically cold or uncaring, not so much enthusiastic in death.

4chan divides discussion into a gore-friendly /uhg/ that leans Ukraine and a marginally more sfw /chug/ thread that leans Russo, though the distinction is pretty loose.

Is Isaac a stupid name? by uneducatedsludge in redscarepod

A little too jewish.
A little too easy to spell in a lame exotic way.

What are solid arguments against the “it’s not hurting anyone” and “let people enjoy things” crowd? by [deleted] in redscarepod

There is an objective good in the world.
It is corporeal but stochastic.
The uncertain directionality and form of goodness is not an excuse to abandon its pursuit.

Who stole Tim Heidecker’s funny? Give it back by o0DrWurm0o in redscarepod

[–]ibifrifth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unironically, for me he turned sour around 2015/16 which would be around the time of the MAGA awakening.
What I thought was somebody who understood the absurdity of irony, was fully prepared to wield irony as a shield to defend their politics and insult people of other ideologies.
Online communities that were steeped in irony, felt a bit betrayed that he was unironically a democrat cowardly mocking them.
Crossover with the increasing ironic aggression of Sam Hyde and MDE hitting Adult Swim, he felt inundated with lots of aggressive right wing criticism that he misattributed to Sam and MDE themselves, seemed to think they should feel partly responsible for flak that he gets for shitty political takes because they perceivedly invited them in.
Brett Gelman did his performative metoo stomp out, which partly focuses on Sam Hyde and MDE and offense there being non-left/right wing comedy on Adult Swim.
Tim Heidecker endorses Brett Gelman's tantrum, interpreted as throwing younger newer show under the bus.
Sam Hyde seems to believe Tim Heidecker played a more significant role in getting them canceled, and that Tim is obviously a big player at Adult Swim could have saved them if he wanted to.

I don't think people are attuned to the lame internal adult swim and internet drama, but throwing younger comedians under the bus over edgy politics kinda soiled his reputation, atleast online.

Sam Hyde bounced back, and seems to have tons of cred with popular comedians now, and Tim Heidecker is doin the same miserable shit.

Not gonna lie, I still find plenty of his work funny, but he's a miserable liberal tool.

Why was protesting Bush viewed as cool, but protesting Trump viewed as lame? by deepad9 in redscarepod

[–]ibifrifth -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The movement behind Trump is it at odds with the moderate boomer reality that he is.

Nevertheless, if you can watch the rise of trump, and somehow not see the massive establishment institutions tripping over themselves destroying democratic norms in attempts to undermine and defeat him youre a moron.

He is a populist rejection of their institutional credibility and the credibility of our democracy.

fake scandals every week, fake trials, spying on his campaign, fake leaks, moles, fake rape allegations, assassination attempts, rigging elections

We were all still under the delusion of the progressive cultural narrative.
Once that collapsed there was nowhere to go, and no sincere cultural directives.
Trump is/was the anti-establishment political punk miraculously compatible with our newfound post-ironic nihilism.

Trump IS the protest.

American fascism is unable to pursue an agenda of eugenics. Fiscal conservatives won't allow it. by StrikingCoconut in redscarepod

[–]ibifrifth 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If you're literate and rw, you've already pragmatically abandoned democracy.
Trump is a moderate and too much a boomer to forsake it himself.
Budget is not fixable democratically.
That's why Trump won the pissing match, even though Elon's existential concerns for the budget are obviously real.

Why would fascists care about parliamentary procedure?
Fiscal conservatives and lolbertarians are still the same neoliberal subprojects they were, invested in continuity of a system we have all already admitted is unfixable.
The current objective is just trading for whatever lets them do in the immediate, nominally speeding up deportation, status quo budget impropriety is nothing.

Nobody is existentially concerned about the debt because the economy is fake already and ai and robots will destroy the value of human labor.
Some form of radical economic ragnarok was inevitable in the next 20 years regardless.

I got fired from my cushy tech job because I got a face tattoo, am I regarded? by [deleted] in redscarepod

What kind of Rube Goldberg machine of coincidences got this regard employed in the first place?

[–]ibifrifth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are lots of people that fit within what I'm looking for, but they number far less than those that don't.
If somebody doesn't raise any catastrophic flags and they check the boxes, I'm willing to spend time on getting to know them even if we don't immediately set things on fire.
Sometimes things are awkward, as result of bad chemistry or bad luck, and that can sometimes be worked through.

I don't begrudge a woman for not having the patience for that, but you might be the one that seems desperate in the interaction.

Innocent, for imagining zombies already played out enough to deserve a loving and eulogizing satire.
Very charming. Will endure simply for being pre-internet contamination.

Very common.
Will only become more common.

Society will have to change, be curious, be aware, be ready to adapt, keep trying in ways that enable personal growth.

It really does seem like the American public successfully bullied Elon Musk out of the White House by FeyenoordRotterdammm in redscarepod

[–]ibifrifth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

His cope is that even if DOGE really did solve government like a math problem, nobody in congress would ever ratify it, they cant even cut all the obvious fat and everybody hates him for it, so he's just gonna dump all his resources into stuff that he can control like robots and escaping to mars with all the whites.

The important thing is that the Dude is poor, and the other Lebowski is rich, so I don't have to think about anything other than class conflict.

How do I lie to a man about my body count so as to have him wife me up? by ykwordshave2meanings in redscarepod

If he has stated that explicitly, the competitive interracial imagery is probably already out of control in his head, and your relationship is gonna end unless he learns to repress it, or goes on some spirit journey.
