You gotta consider that when a country doesn’t do something for sixty years, that means basically anyone that actually worked on it has retired. They probably have access to more research and data but it’s probably all stored in ancient formats barely used anymore.

So we glass the governor’s private residence and finish what reconstruction failed to do a century ago. The armed and “well regulated” militia is on the highest copium possible thinking an ar-15 is anything the government fears.

Some, not most. Propaganda and advertising are one sided conversations - you either see through the bullshit, or you find yourself agreeing with it.

Effective and rational persuasion involves a back and forth conversation, which is far too time consuming for practically anyone to bother with these days. Since everyone has to have an opinion on everything, they’ll usually find someone saying what sounds right to them and recite the same talking points. When you’re engaging in that sort of persuasion, you don’t really need to worry about giant holes in your arguments.

I give to my local shelter, spreads out the aid while being less likely to be spent on drugs(so long as your shelter is trustworthy)

Right, tell me more about how trump would’ve been better…

Holy shit you tankies are on so much copium it’s hilarious.

The dust bowl and the holodomor did not, in fact, coincide. They occured in seperate years, for separate reasons, and shockingly you seem to have excluded the drastically lower death rates of the dust bowl and the american great depression as a whole? It was terrible and caused great unnecessary suffering, but there’s no parallel to the intentional deaths of millions.

Like come on, the Bengal famine is RIGHT THERE for you to make some sort attempt at a valid argument, but you just have to go “AMERIKA BAD >:(“ every two milliseconds.

Both the Bengal Famine and the Holodomor have at least one major fact in common. You’d have to be a complete idiot to be either the British or Soviet government and not realize your response will lead to the deaths of millions. I don’t think Churchill or the brits were idiots, and as undeniably terrible as Stalin was I don’t think the inevitable death of millions of ukranians was something he could overlook either.

You mouth breathers always act so goddamn smug about the utter nonsense spewing out of your ass.

Oh gee if only there was a single example of communists that actually acted on some of these purported principles instead of turning authoritarian the first chance they get

No, social democracies don’t count. They are what tankies SHOULD strive for, instead of sucking off… checks notes famous beacons of liberty Russia and China.

It’s mildly infuriating, not pants shittingly aggravating. If anything this fits more than the usually much more upsetting content.

insurance has clauses to prevent paying out

Oh man what a sick gotcha it’s not like that’s the entire purpose of a for profit insurance system.

Alternatively, the lovely thing about driving an old beater is that you have nothing to lose in situations like this.

How does this argument ever make sense to you? Do you truly consider people to be one monolithic group with no dissenting opinions? The exact same comparison was made, just as now people are saying it’s the Israeli prime ministers actions, which is actually very fair given the amount of israeli citizens showing very natural disdain for the genocide.

I dunno, Iceland’s right there with their dating apps that specifically make sure you aren’t related.

Okay buddy I’m sure you’d have acted differently when the alternative is getting shot, and you can’t really argue that they’re worse than the israeli government treats you.

Yes famously every single german citizen unanimously supported the nazi party from 1933 to 1945.

Have you ever learned about how the Nazis came into power? The cycle that Hitler became Chancellor, they won only 37% of the vote. Before that, it was a meager 18%. One election of 37% was enough for emergency powers to be seized, the reichstag to be burned, and quite simply the ball to be put in motion. I’m sure you would’ve been first in line to protest their actions beyond that point, but it certainly would’ve been quite the challenge to change the course after that point.

If you’re cool damning an entire population off the decision of 37%(of the population that voted), then I guess your reasoning stands.

Morbidly amusing that the headline makes it sound like day 16 is what finally did em in. Five minutes probably changes your whole outlook on life.

Who on earth do you think a comment like this convinces?

Counter counter point: the Polish Soviet war of 1920 is a far better point to begin any comparisons, seeing as russia was the aggressor, and was humiliated multiple times.

A second double counter point, sources certainly vary on exact figures but a lot of the “Russians” killed in WW2 were the Ukranians, especially in the early stages as they were essentially sacrificed with minimal defenses to stall for time. They’re not exactly looking to that ever happening again.

It surprises you that bodies are more easily verified than “hey look bro they had this freshly printed sheet of paper bro it tells you how terrible they were planning to be bro you gotta trust me bro”

Like, what motive would anyone else have for faking this? Anyone capable of thinking for a millisecond that hey, maybe Israel is capable of doing negative things is already disgusted with them for “not wasting a good crisis”.

Well, clearly the second part doesn’t bother them, so I can understand appealing to the psychopaths instead.

By “a force bloodline” do you mean “literally just the Skywalkers”?

Also doesn’t take into account that Sabine is, as a member of clan Wren/house Viszla, likely related to Tarre Viszla, the first Jedi Mandalorian. More of a force bloodline than most force sensitives we’re aware of.
