The USA has torpedoed pretty much all soft power and is now obsessed with it's hard power via the military, let's see how that works out of them.

Lathe: 4chan IS burgerland’s soft power and the only soft power they need.
Somehow people think a bunch of groyper neckbeards aura farming online is the coolest thing ever.
All apart of the toxic shithole culture we export abroad.
I long for the day the 4chan neckbeard is treated in Europe with the same mocking disdain as the archetype of the schlubby, poorly dressed and uneducated rube in a cowboy hat. Because neckbeards are just digital good ol’ boys.
I think otaku are still regarded as shitty people in Japan fwiw
Fair enough, but given the chuddery there I hope Japan soon enough turns their ire to self-otakus…autokatus, if you will.
They only burned thru "years' worth of munitions" in their brief attacks against Iran thus far, I'm sure it'll go fine
Trump forgot the crucial lesson that soft power makes your enemy soft and hard power makes you hard then soft and hard collide and ... uh ... I guess the harder party tops?
Not only is the message unhinged but the design is ass. Carrying two contradictory (war and peace) symbols in your hands is pretty cool and rad.
The new eagle design is fucking lame. It doesn't look like a harbinger of war it looks like it's carrying groceries home but accidentally stepped on poop.
Dawg look at the face. It looks like it's properly flabbergasted.
Then look at the "great seal" design. That eagle has a dignified air to it.
Of course you think badassery is the most important thing to signal in official design: you’re twelve!
Trump should have put IN WAR WE TRUST on it.
The "everyone's twelve" theory remains the mist explanatory model for people's behavior in this declining empire
lmao. i thought virtue signaling was supposed to be woke?
also i guess $40T in debt isnt enough, so yeah fuck it i guess, lets lose even more money minting antiquated axial age coinage that is useless on day 1 and will be 100x more useless when hyperinflation hits in....months? 2 years, optimistically? 
that chinese christian dad who said trump was heaven sent to destroy america looking more and more vindicated by the day
Have you considered that peace is MORE woke?
These currency updates don't get pushed through rapidly. This design was created during the Biden admin, and will only be issued for a year. It's supposedly a callback to some revolutionary war iconography? Still ass, and it makes this quote especially funny:
Trump-appointed U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach told Fox News. "While the Biden administration and Secretary Yellen remained focused on DEI and Critical Race Theory policies, the Trump administration is dedicated to fostering prosperity and patriotism. We have no doubt these new designs will be wildly popular with the American people."
The Trump admin literally didn't design this. Trump signed the law in January 2021, right before the Biden admin took over.
Eagle, staring in disbelief at a now empty claw
"Oh shit, I dropped it"
Forgot the punctuation, it should be "Liberty over. Tyranny!"
Everyone is discussing the headline, but I think equally amazing is that he struck FDR from the other side and replaced him with some MCU-ified aura-farming lady liberty.
So it's a cartoonishly partisan "fuck the dems and fuck social welfare and fighting Nazis" but he smuggles it in by putting a woman on the currency (woke!), but it's not a real woman so he keeps his misogynist credentials and it looks like some action hero bullshit because it's meant to play into the pro-war ethos.
literally the funniest part, imo, of the new face is that it says
LIBERTY 1776-2026
like it's basically a memorial / gravestone implying liberty died in 2026. which, lmao.
if i could design coins, i would just put big ass numbers on one side, maybe a cool structure on the other, and put a hole in the middle like some japanese and chinese coins do because a coins with holes in them are cool and fun to play around with.
Helldivers-ass country
How long until chuds say "anti war is anti-white"
Lady Liberty has some massive veins on her neck.
shh, she's concealing a zombie bite
with big tiddies or something.
