The worst part of this roller coaster is that it turns out the US Transportation Secretary is a former Fox “News” host

If I were the Ukrainians I would offer peace in exchange for Putin’s severed head in a box

Russia is like the mirror image of the US. A small European country that stretched across an entire continent by conquering indigenous peoples, taking their land, settling ethnic Russians, and replacing their languages. Their entire history and national identity is colonialism.

The Poles have been steadily building one the largest Regular Armies on Earth. After 3 partitions and a Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, they’re not trying to get conquered again.

Campists are bastards plus Marxist-Leninism is a dysfunctional ideology to begin. Modern Russia is almost everything that Communists claim to hate but online MLs will support everything they do.

It appears that the US transportation secretary is a former Fox News host. I’m not saying that he’s directly to blame but I’m noticing a trend of former Fox News hosts being put in charge of Federal Agencies that then do terribly.

In school, I grasped chemistry with such clarity that other students would come to me for help but physics has always been impossibly difficult to make sense of.

See, should have swarmed Area 51 in a naruto run after all

I wish the brown note was real

I wish I had an instrument that played the brown note

I wish I was immune to the brown note

Yes, but their grip on reality is slippery, their dedication to campism is frustrating, and their love of strict hierarchy isn’t compatible with Leftist beliefs.

True that, I’d forgotten. Embarrassing considering how often I bring it up to my clueless fellow Americans. The regime in Tehran are shitheads but Iran is genuinely the aggrieved party in any conflict with the US.

As some other people have pointed out, Poland was briefly at war with the USSR during WW2 because the USSR made a deal with the Nazis to divide the country. Finland was allied with the Nazis for a time out of desperation; it’s debated if they were considered an axis power. And groups from the Baltic countries, seized by the USSR in the chaos of the early war, fought guerilla campaigns against the Red Army well into the 50s (see the Forest Brothers) as well as insurgent groups from a few other eastern European countries like Poland.

The most likely scenario though is that the Poster is an American, is fundamentally ignorant of WW2 history (or any history) and has no clue what they’re talking about.

The Leopards are eating face good tonight

don’t let .ml hear you say that or the screeching sound they make will be ear splitting

The problem is how much power is put into the hands of one person, not how that one person is selected. Sure, it would be a slightly better if we had a slightly more fair way of selecting the president but it would be much better to break up the position into multiple positions. It would be much better to eliminate some of those powers altogether. It would be much better if it were more practical to hold those individuals responsible for the crimes they commit while in office. I’m not holding out hope that a popular vote will be a panacea cause occasionally awful people are the popular candidate and what then?

I wasn’t aware there were any citizens in the US who got more than one vote unless you’re referring to the people who get zero votes.

Ditto El Sayed.

Voting matters but convincing people that it’s less than the bare minimum they need to be doing is like pulling teeth.

Does your existence entail alot of self-loathing then?

Are you a shitbag IRL or just online?
