Remember that literally everyone considered the ETIM a terrorist organization right up until Zenz fabricated his bunk genocide claims, and then very suddenly the US and a few key allies dropped that label from them.

Redditors are some of the most gullible fucks on the planet

this is a classic sci fi plot

And every single fucking time it goes bad for the people involved

Like literally every single instance of a species being uplifted in sci fi is a cautionary tale about interference with others, and usually has the uplifted species be violent/used as a weapon

Literal fucking Torment Nexus bullshit

North Korea has kept to itself for something like 70 fucking years and still people are utterly terrified that they'll leap across the border and do Evil Communist things the moment South Korea's back is turned

[ComStar]

This man is deranged

For those that don't know, ComStar is the name of the central communications company in the tabletop game Battletech. They control all the communication in the entire galaxy, are styled as and act like a religious institution, and have their own private army empowered to show up and coup anyone who doesn't pay up or attempts to create a separate communications network

Whoever told Musk about this fucking lore needs to be sent to the pit

a career criminal

I love it when liberals accidentally stumble close to the point and then miss it entirely

Yes Trump is a career criminal, but that's because he's a capitalist. These dorks think he's some evil mastermind criminal who's plotting the destruction of America or some shit. They're so close to getting it but then stumble right at the end.

What a fucking demonic thing to say.

Even if, even if it was a Hamas misfire, 500 innocent lives were taken, and this fucking demon is making a joke about it

500 lives have been snuffed out. Untold thousands will never be the same because they're gone. And this monster can't help but laugh, because those lives were brown, and brown lives don't count.

Actual demonic behaviour

If I wrote a story about a nation of people so concerned with genetic purity and the future of their nation that they harvested the literal cum out of dead soldiers in order to artificially inseminate people down the line, any editor would laugh in my face and tell me it was absurd and needlessly fascistic sadness-abysmal

Finish the turn of phrase

Finish the fucking turn of phrase, I beg of you, this is not the defense you think it is

Real choice is going into the cereal aisle in a grocery store and seeing eighteen different brands of HFCS all owned by the same company.

My favourite bit about the video is that the tank column is leaving Tiananmen when this guy stops them, and I always get the impression he's essentially asking the tankers to go back to the Square.

Naturally the lib framing is that he's blocking them from entering the Square
