Just when I thought I'd heard every possible take, Gunther comes out of fucking nowhere with the "Palestine is real and should be part of NATO"

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 74 points 9 months ago (2 children)

An asteroid could be hurtling towards earth and his first instinct will be calling for it to become a member of nato, and getting it incorporated into the Schengen area.

Freedom of movement for all bolides.

Or balkanize it.

I LOVE GUNTHER! COMPLETELY INCOHERENT PLANS THAT WOULD JUST RESULT IN WANTON DESTRUCTION ARE AWESOME!

His mind is a piece of art.

Every city a independent state. Perfection.

Complete tangent but, in highschool during a literature class, one of my classmates was reading a passage from the textbook outloud and pronounced "wanton carnality" as "wonton carnality" and the teacher laughed for like 5 straight minutes.

Balkanize everything and bring it into NATO and the Eurozone gunther-fear

God I love this man's brain chefs-kiss

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 44 points 9 months ago

Gunther's ideology is the angel-biblical of politics.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That NATO/Palestine pin is absolutely fucking cursed

"ChatGPT, solve the Israel-Palestine conflict for me"

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 34 points 9 months ago

Gunther never promises to be boring. I'll give him that and nothing more.

[–] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 34 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Would that mean Palestine can Article 5 Israel? Pretty lit. God tier posting right here.

[–] Redderthanmisty@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not necessarily. If they're both in NATO, nothing happens if a conflict breaks out. If I remember correctly, Turkey and Greece had a few small scale conflicts a few years ago that nearly spiralled into war, but neither could call article 5 because they were both NATO members.

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 9 months ago

Turkey flatout invaded Cyprus and nothing happened.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago

This would almost work except for no one anywhere wanting this

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago

I was wondering what this character was up to

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

Still a better solution than what the US is working tirelessly on

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

these are the people who dare to call communists utopian

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 9 months ago

I admit that is better than constant war.

his brain is perfectly smooth, you could use it to calibrate instruments

It's impossible to hate this man.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

If everyone joined NATO we could all be friends

This isnt just goofy its GUUTHFY

No balkanisation? Nobody is split into tiny statelets that only exist in Paradox games?

I'm disappointed. He could at least have given us five Palestines or something.

[–] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 9 months ago

WRONG! In this scenario Palestine will be the statelet, this person couldn't fathom a world without "Israel"

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 9 months ago

Finally. We've had one state solutions, two state solutions, only Gunther is brave enough to suggest a 70 state solution!

[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

Get Russia in too while you are at it mate!
