Waaaaahhhhh only 99% of everything I interact with is geared toward my Liberal Anti-Communist sensibilities waaaaahhhhh waaaaahhhhh why can't it be 100%

Stuff like this is, I think, a good demonstration of the thesis that Roderic Day advances: Westerners aren't anti-Communists because of the dastardly propaganda, it's the other way around: they believe this plainly absurd shit because they want to.

They are good little Roman citizens, always ready to believe that Rome is killing bad guys because that conquest is how they got their material abundance in the first place.

What's fascinating to me is that Christians don't even like the tenets of Christianity.

"Well the rich are virtuous and the poor are evil, but this book says I need to pretend like the opposite is true to get enough good boy points to get into heaven."

The average American is more brainwashed than any other human being in world history.

You're telling me this rich person who doesn't actually work for a living and has no personal stakes in anything believes self-serving bullshit?

"She’s kind of trying to do good or whatever she’s trying to do, and she’s losing — I mean, I don’t know,"

Alright so similarities:

1. She's a loser
2. She's rich

I don't know guys, this one kind of tracks.

Alexander Hamilton was a parasite. Lin Manuel Miranda is a parasite. His dad was, IIRC, key to the privatization of Puerto Rico's power. Mystery solved.

Day

Daylight comes and I want to go home

Day, I said day

Daylight comes and I want to go home

I worked all night in an inebriated state (Daylight comes and I want to go home)

I stacked bananas until it was morning (Daylight comes and I want to go home)

Please, mister supervisor, come count my bananas (Daylight comes and I want to go home)

Please, mister supervisor, come count my bananas (Daylight comes and I want to go home)

My bunches of bananas exceed eight feet (Daylight comes and I want to go home)

While ripe bananas may be a gratifying sight (Daylight comes and I want to go home)

They may hide, within, deadly predators (Daylight comes and I want to go home)

Illustrative of his ideology that he thinks Israel's behavior is aberrant and undesired by the US.

I hope they put up a giant spoon signed "Love, Stalin." Fuck Ukraine's victim narrative.

This last year or so has really laid bare just how thoroughly white supremacist the average European is. I hope it's been radicalizing for people who hadn't already seen past the veil.

Tangential retail anecdote: it always makes me laugh when customers threaten to take their business elsewhere. Make my fucking day, asshole, it's just one less infant for me to babysit. Even then, they'll probably be back once they learn that having a crying fit at the Rite Aid doesn't get them any better results.

IIRC rather than spending eight paragraphs describing food and people's suffering, Tolkien spends six paragraphs describing the landscape and its history.

I think they're frankly both tiring authors to read.

i never once saw that fucker sober.

This is what gets to me. I've seen footage of pilots who flew the planes that took Northern Korea back to the stone age. They looked completely haunted by what they'd done once they realized it was wrong. How is it that these men who were almost certainly not Communists show more regret and contrition than some "Socialists"

The funny thing is, I don't even think that joining the military is morally irredeemable. I just hate this "Look, I'm just as much of a victim as the children I killed" attitude. Mike Prysner is an ex member of the Waffen SS and he's dedicated his life to defeating American Imperialism.

Absolutely. I immediately thought of his essay. These people are not misled fools who are brainwashed by propaganda into hating China or joining the military or whatever. They are imperial subjects who knowingly seek out imperial deals and simply find the terms acceptable.

On the notion of "but the propaganda!"

There is far, far more copaganda in the US than military propaganda. Almost all of the top ten shows in the US at any given time for decades have been cop shows.

If "but the propaganda" elides guilt for the military, why not cops? Is it because cops affect you and the military doesn't? I'm open to alternative explanations.

"I had no choice" no the choice you had was to remain poor like the people you murdered who didn't happen to have a Nazi jobs program they could sign up for.

I wonder if this is different for women. I know several who use Tinder as a self-esteem booster, just opening the app with no intention of pursuing anyone and reveling in the attention.
