It's so funny that the US thinks it can win wars

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 55 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The US thinks it has won a number of wars because it killed more people

Me hoping colonial and Imperial powers war with each other and maintain that mentality and compete hard for top spot at the leader board.

frothingfash k/d is all that matters, bro!

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's actually why the US murdered so many civilians in Vietnam, McNamara thought that a more easily verifiable number like KDR meant more than harder to assess metrics like "oposition to the invasion" or "support of the communist party".

Business Brain at work, gotta hit those KPIs regardless of material reality.

Nate the rake at it again! (Bethesda will never live that down)

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

They literally did a JK Rowling and said that Nate was the guy who laughed at war crimes and then waved lol

I don't watch Tim's stuff, but I'm guessing he's the kind of guy who also thinks West is best because freedom and democracy?

If so, the irony's hilarious.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's even funnier because he's said in the past that he "posts things he doesn't believe to throw journalists off" which is just peak :smuglord: "it's just a joke bro"

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That screams "dude who thinks saying allegedly every other sentence is an impenetrable shield from getting hit with a defamation case."

"Uh, excuse me, you're, uh... "Honor"? Yeah. Hey. So, I actually posted years ago that nothing I post is real. Well, some is. But I don't tell people what is real. Thank you, I win, I am free to go now."

Something like that running in his mind

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

I wouldn't put it past him, he's a ridiculous person.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He initially got notoriety by talking nonstop about how radical Islamists were gonna make Sweden into a caliphate. He would make claims like there are neighborhoods in Sweden that don't permit white people and that there were frequent bombings. He has a video of himself and a crew walking around Sweden and claiming to be in danger the whole time because Syrian immigrants were also there.

He's just a racist idiot chasing after attention

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

A significant amount of the syrian/iraqi Minorites are Christian in the first place. So he was always speaking nonsense.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah he started as an Occupy guy back in the day, then pivoted to immigrant panic like axont said. Hit the nail on the head with incoherent western chauvinism.

I hope in the next tariff negotiation, Canada can get Trump to extradite Tim Pool

sent from my gamer chair

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I like the extra space between "and" and "deliver"

Which indicates, based on my own experience, he put another word there first and then edited the word out choosing to go with deliver.

I really wonder what the original was. Or maybe he has really fat thumbs and smashed the space key. Maybe he did it to troll specifically me.

[–] BigBoyKarlLiebknecht@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

Tim Poo probably got ChatGPT to write it for him and edited the output

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

Amerikans still believe that "giving people who don't care much about us rn a ton of good reasons to hate us" means "their will to resist will erode". OFC Pim Tool devotes his entire energy to being accepted by fascists who mock and bully him, so it's not surprising he specifically would think that, but this shit is basically the entire US-Iraq policy during the 90s and 00s and look how that turned out.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't Tim pool like the Jim Cramer of politics?

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but I was referring to the inverse Cramer index: if he tells you somethings a good investment you sell anything you have in it.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

A bald angry moron?

Describes him to a T

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

good thing he is against war and conquest

US playing The New Order: Last Days of Europe and going for a Hermann Goring run

ContextIt's an alt-history Hearts of Iron 4 mod. One of the paths for Germany is Hermann Goring becoming the chancellor, in which case he turns the country's entire economy into a Ponzi scheme that can only be maintained through constant expansion and plunder. There's no way to win on this path - either one of your invasions stalls long enough to implode your economy, or your only remaining targets are nuclear powers, invading whom triggers a nuclear holocaust.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nazi economy was basically a ponzi scheme already in real life.

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It was five minutes before economic collapse every tuesday.

It was cannibal economy, at first they cannibalised state and collective property by privatisation, then they cannibalisd Jewish property by so called "aryanisation", finally they cannibalised conquered Poland and USSR. They couldn't even thought nor do anything else, they arrived at the most rotting stage of imperialism right from the start.

[–] DinosaurThussy@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

You know how you get people to welcome you as liberators? You loudly and intentionally destroy their economy

No one thought America would do Operation Anchorage to themselves

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm convinced Tim Pool's entire career has been propelled off making garbage takes that get recirculated through public outrage. Never has such a worm tricked so many people into considering his utterly intellectually vacant perspective.

(Apologies to all the worm lovers out there. Worms are pretty cool.)

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson. I think there are just a lot of dumb right-wing guys out there.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Tim Tool at it again
