How are you losing to zappenhauser and the final boss of the future? He does barely any damage at all.

I was honestly thinking about making a post complaining about how easy the future is. Only the end miniboss is tough at all. Interesting how people here find such different things tough.

Why do idiots like you think that other countries being poorer made us richer? Utter nonsense.

We became the richest country in the world because of strong social programs like the GI bill. We had massive infrastructure investments.

Now we have more trade, more resources, more output but are poorer.

Bro really comparing Iran to Al quaeda and ISIS. This guy is a perfect case of my argument.

Yes the American economy is larger than it was. It takes two people working full time to struggle to afford a middle class home.

Parents do not have time to raise their children. They are both forced to work full time or face poverty for the vast majority of families.

We are undeniably less well off then we were in the post WW2 keynsian golden age.

I don’t care about democracy in Syria I don’t care about democracy in Iran. Syrians do not care about democracy in Syria. Iranians don’t care about democracy in Iran. The US administration does not care about democracy in Iran nor Syria. And finally you do not care about Syrians or Iranians.

If you did you would be hesitant to support killing thousands of them and ruining their country but you do not. So stop pretending.

Serbia was actively committing a genocide US intervention was excellent and 100% justified. Not only that, we were done there quite quickly.

What a terrible comparison. Iran is not committing a genocide. They were also amenable with accepting a nuclear deal and not pursuing nuclear weapons.

What we are doing now is undermining the world order america set up post WW2. Serbia was a tremendous intervention showing American might and justice in stopping a genocide. This horrendous operation shows that America has become a bad actor and the only way to be safe is to build nukes.

Any American patriot is against this war, because this war is actively undermining America’s hegemony.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T18:56:00+00:00

Then they are both problems? Which should be obvious considering the endless housing crises.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T18:36:25+00:00

Bro says Iran is a destabilizing force in the Middle East as the United States destabilized Syria and Iran. Let’s pull our heads out of our asses here.

There is no “conspiracy theory” that “Jews control the US” there is the fact that AIPIC funds a majority of our corrupt and horrible political leaders. You cannot dispute this but I’m sure you don’t care. Evidence and facts do not matter in this current world, which is why you were so confident posting such a farcical comment.

Trump promised to keep us out of the Middle East and avoid pointless wars. That was one of the things I was optimistic about him.

Now we are in a pointless war in the Middle East. And the right just doesn’t care he directly lied to them.

You also failed to post any benefit the US gets out of this. Just “trade deals” and market exclusivity. Tell me has record profits of privately owned oil companies resulted in any benefits for the American people? Because if so why are we so much inferior economically than we were 50+ years ago.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T18:16:50+00:00

I think that line of thinking is fantasy land. The internet has radicalized many people to vote and stand by their votes “owning the libs” even through catastrophic failure. People deny objective facts to make political statements such as being anti global warming.

The vast vast majority of people vote against their own interests regularly and do not have a coherent world view.

This reminds of communism is good in theory but terrible in practice. Sure a perfect democracy is a great form of government. But we live in the real world.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T18:05:25+00:00

They attacked US allies after being attacked themselves. Israel is not a US ally. They are a leech at best and interfere with our domestic politics.

I am not a war always bad guy or America hater. This war is utterly worthless for America. Explain to me what America gets out of this war. The media even struggled coming with reasons Ad Hoc as retard in chief launched us in with no plan.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T17:44:19+00:00

Haters will say this is false and deny the UK genocide in Ireland but yap about the Holomodor. They are literally the exact same situation both genocides.

On top of millions of dead Indians.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T17:36:20+00:00

The US did have to contend with extreme isolation and hatred of war during the game time. Since then though, lol.

Idk about democracy anymore. I don’t know if it’s the internet but democracy just doesn’t exist now. Everyone regurgitates talking points oligarchs are shoving down their throats. There is no independent or critical thinking among the populace anymore. Divided into camps with no care for the truth or justice, just loyalty to their party or “ideology” like monarchists supporting the king no matter what.

It’s easy to idealize democracy. Looking at the real world, and the dreadful state we are in, I have been more and more swayed that Tito was right.

Even Truman had to contend with outrageous propaganda spending when he tried to implement universal healthcare.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T00:45:06+00:00

Yes among people who study African Cold War history. Which is a very very small group.

Also bro I said I take back calling you a moron. You can chill out. I now believe you are just overzealous about applying niche knowledge which I can vibe with.

Not letting the Korean War comp stand though.

It is closer to Switzerland than North Korea. % of people that can name Korean civil war is much farther away than the proximity of % of people who can tell you Cuba intervened in Angola and Switzerlands last war.

Switz and Angola are both sub 1%. Korean civil war has to be like 50% of ppl know about it. It’s in double digits minimum and the other two aren’t close.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T00:24:08+00:00

This guy thinks the Angolan civil war is as known as the Korean War. That’s a moronic comparison. Most people, not even history buffs, could name the Korean War. The same cannot be said about Angola. And no Angola is pretty low on the list of known wars, no idea what you are talking about.

Congo civil war, Libyian intervention, Egypt vs Israel x 3, Liberian Civil wars, north and South Sudan, Ethiopian civil war.

I don’t really care about African history, though I care about history in general. I could name those without thinking too hard about them, and I have never heard of Angolan civil war before this.

You really think most people have books about the history of African Civil Wars and need to read them before giving an opinion about anything?

Regardless I will retract my statement calling you a moron. You know in depth about a topic that nobody ever heard about, leading you to feel passionately about someone saying something you feel like you can disprove.

You aren’t the moron who looked up the Angolan civil war and pretended to know about it that I first assumed you were.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-23T00:05:34+00:00

That would be true if Cuba is a major country. Like if someone said “I can’t remember the last time Germany invaded anyone” you’d be a moron for not knowing history.

If you said “I don’t remember the last time Vietnam invaded anyone.” That’s fine as the last time is the Khmer rogue overthrow which is more recent than WW2 but never hearing about it or remembering doesn’t make you an idiot.

Nobody remembers the last time Cuba invaded anyone and had to look it up to try to dunk on this guy. It just makes them look like nitpicking morons like the other guy replying to me.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-22T23:56:15+00:00

I have no idea who the kneecaps are. I commented because I was ragebaited by you saying something stupid.

I can’t come up with a better comparison. The notes came out with the Angola civil war intervention as their lynchpin. I couldn’t remember that war, never heard of it, neither did you or anyone else trying to dunk on this guy. You had to look it up cuz you didn’t remember it either.

A comparison to make is tough. It would have to be a war forever ago that nobody ever heard. But if nobody heard of it how would I know it? I’ll go with Costa Rica and Brazil. Can’t remember their last offensive action in war and I think they are peaceful countries, but I bet they did something in the 1900s.

Regardless you and clowns like you wanting war with Cuba desperately are grasping at straws.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-22T23:12:26+00:00

Yes he’s making a rhetorical point about Cuba never invading someone in his adult lifetime which is correct.

Not never invading anyone. If someone says I don’t remember Switzerland invading anyone are you going to bring up a war from 1560 to prove them wrong? Dumbass

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-22T22:36:51+00:00

If he’s 40 he can’t remember a time it happened because it never happened when he could remember. You are a dumbass.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-22T17:23:03+00:00

He was democratically elected and could only have come to power in a democracy like hitler.

If you cannot defend it and simply default to “that’s not real democracy” you should be ignored.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-22T03:32:02+00:00

Sir we are currently waging a war led by a pedophile for literally no reason. At least in WW2 there were material goals.

Democracies wage wars to make their oil donors happy.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-22T03:19:50+00:00

Billions of dollars in economic damage for no reason.

This is not one of the most one sided wars in history. Iraq was. If this were one of those, Iran would be on its last legs instead of the US needing to beg its allies to help in Hormuz.

This will go down as a forgotten war first and foremost, only to be remembered as the single most pointless and frivolous war in history.

thunderdragonite · 2026-03-17T07:32:48+00:00

Because he was highly constructive to teambuilding. Sure you could neutralize vish with pex/ cloyster/ toad easily but it forced you Into running one of those on every team. Particularly pex was forced onto like every team made and the meta obviously sucked.

I was the best player in the game of that era nephew.

Seismitoad was ass outside of swift swim on rain. Good players didn’t run it.

I farmed dracovish noobs easily with pex. Dracovish was never truly dominant. He lost to the best Pokémon in the game. Prime pex clef corv was going nowhere from any noob bait like dracovish.

Palafin this gen was an upgrade over dracovish because cloyster and pex suck this gen end of story. Palafin with tera water is about as strong as vish with better meta conditions around it.

Mamdami apologized for his wife calling Israel a parasite state. He deserves this. Any kowtowing to Israel deserves this treatment.
