It's a far right conspiracy theory, that OP's trying to tie to legit criticism of the CIA's atrocities despite having nothing to do with each other-- all in order to try to hide the fact that it's literally part of the Great Replacement conspiracy.

Yeah, there's precisely zero chance this doesn't blow the fuck up in El Salvador's face in the long run. Not to mention it's horrific on every possible level.

Hope to god El Salvador manages to figure out a way to get rid of this guy, and fast. Otherwise they're in for a very bad few decades.

Listen, jack, we're turing the Fediverse blue like we turned Arizona and Georgia blue. Now get in Diamond Joe's Corvette, we're going to go eat chocolate chocolate chip ice cream and kick fascist ass (both original and red varieties).

Tankies love going on and on about how intellectual and well-read they are, but in my experience they're some of the dumbest mofos I've had the misfortune of encountering (second only to fascists). Their ability to completely miss the point of a book/article/argument/literally any interaction that involves two humans exchanging knowledge leaves me flabbergasted, every time.

Because if everyone involved is quitting their jobs, they'll have no money with which to buy food. Which means they'll have to farm it themselves. And farming, even with top-of-the-line modern tech, is backbreaking fucking work. Also unpredictable as hell: bad harvests aren't uncommon, especially for novice farmers with no formal training like these guys would be.

In other words, one bad harvest, and everyone in the system you're proposing fucking dies. Yeah, there's a reason in the 1800s people were abandoning their family farms for the horrorshow of Victorian era-factories en masse: because even that hell was still preferable to farming.

Half Life 4: The Search for Half Life 3

If this is actually Half Life 3... it kinda makes sense they waited for all the hype to die down, for it to fall out of meme culture, before releasing it. Even five years ago, the expectations for this game were astronomical. There was absolutely no way a game made by mere mortals could ever live up to that kind of hype. Now, people have chilled to the point they can actually appreciate Half Life 3 on its own merits.

Which is a long-winded way to say my bet is Half Life 3's been done for at least 5 years now. Valve's just waiting on the right moment to pull the trigger.

ACA was a bunch of half-assed bullshit.

Tell me you weren't paying attention to US politics in 2008-2010 (which were the two fucking years of nonstop backbreaking fucking effort it got the ACA to be passed) without telling me you weren't paying attention.

Yeah, assuming her feet don't smell I'd have no issue with her cutting her nails on the train-- if she was catching them with a plastic tray, baggie or even a napkin so they don't fall on the seat someone else is about to sit down on. But she's not doing that, which is gross and disrespectful to your fellow passengers, IMO.

A lot of those 17 are dictatorships, where the elites are unsurprisingly big fans of Russia / Wagner helping them prop up their regimes. Actual normal people in those countries tend to be significantly more anti-Russia.

Yes, because in 2015 gay marriage was legalized.

I guarantee these people were absolutely as shitty about LGBTQ+ issues before 2015, they just talked about them less frequenly around you since they didn't have to think about gay people too often. But I guarantee they were just as horrible towards gay people back then-- if not moreso, since they thought they could get away with the toxicity since no one cared-- as they are today.

Source: was woman with a ton of LGBTQ+ friends before 2014. Bigotry hasn't gotten any worse since then, just louder. (And the good news is the reason the bigots have gotten louder is because more normies are becoming tolerant or accepting of LGBTQ+ people, causing the remaining bigots to realize they're losing control of society and flip the hell out!)

Agreed completely. How is it possible people still don't realize that with fascists, the cruelty is the point? Torturing minorities isn't a distraction, it's the goal.
