Lol so like I said, you “opposed” them by voting for them.
This you, buddy?
Maybe if you went after dipshits who vote for people like Biden, Cuomo and Clinton in Democratic primaries you wouldn’t have to hear about what pieces of shit Democratic politicians are. 🤷♂️
Or did you forget what a primary was?
Oh, who am I kidding? Fascists don't believe words have meanings.
Harris, because I had the terrible curse of prophecy, and predicted a good 50% of the bullshit we're currently living through should Trump win.
Made a protest vote. Not proud of it, honestly, but I thought Hillary was going to win handily, and I could afford to voice displeasure with her fuckwit candidacy, especially after the coronal tone that was pushed by the DNC during the 2016 primary.
I lived in a safe state at the time and it went Dem anyway, but I still have flashbacks to that morning, watching the results come in.
The only one of those three I ever voted for was Biden, in 2020, in the general election, because I'm not a dipshit fascist. I voted Bernie in the 2020 primary.
Maybe if you went after dipshits who vote for people like Biden, Cuomo and Clinton in Democratic primaries you wouldn’t have to hear about what pieces of shit Democratic politicians are. 🤷♂️
Cute considering that I opposed all three. But that doesn't match your narrative, so of course, you do the only thing your tiny fascist mind can think of, and make shit up. :)
Then enjoy your award for supporting genocide.
Are you still salty that calling for genocide isn't allowed in HistoryMemes?
I gave you numerous fucking opportunities to back off from the lunatic position of "Genocide advocacy is Okay, Actually; if it's against Bad Ethnicity", and you still insisted on it.
Sorry that you think being against genocide makes me a Zionist?
Please, by all means, provide us with evidence that Pug abuses his banhammer. Mod logs aren’t hidden. If his actions are scummy or inappropriate for his position then prove it. Regardless of his popularity you would be doing a favor for the entire fediverse in doing so.
I openly admit to being irritable, impatient, and not really suited for modding duties. At the same time, my bans are overwhelmingly for issues of ideology, not tone, and I generally try to find context for the user's statements before heading in with a ban. If someone calls me a fuckwit, that's whatever.
If someone is playing "Bothsides" games when that bullshit is the reason why I'm living in an increasingly fascist state circling the drain, with over a million projected to die from the end of USAID, the unconditional support of Israel's lunatic genocide in Palestine and imperialism in both Syria and Lebanon, my own increasing inability to find insurance after recent changes in Federal medical policy and state assistance for a chronic disease that will kill me if left untreated (not to mention my mental health issues, which also may kill me untreated), the fact that I've had fucking family members who've been in the country for almost two decades with no trouble ending up being deported under this administration, that we have people being openly murdered in the streets by unaccountable fascist paramilitaries for the crime of protesting, and every attempt made to enable and assist Russia's imperialist and genocidal project in Ukraine...
... well, they can enjoy their ban.
He’s a mod who really doesn’t like it when people talk about Democratic politicians who support Israel’s genocide.
lmao.
Also when you talk about him your comment will get a lot more attention than what you’d expect from organic traffic. I have my suspicions he’s got funding.
You caught me.
Neither, I'm just aware that Dems are the only one of the two parties which have moved away from supporting Israel as of late in response to Dem voters, for the first time in my fucking lifetime, moving away from unconditional support of Israel, and have no patience for "Buh-buh-buh-bothsides" bullshit. I checked the user's comment history before banning for context, which confirmed them as a "Electoralism doesn't matter!" useful idiot for fascist genocidaires.
But hey, at least they can 'virtue' signal about how great it is to enable the murder of as many minorities as possible.
Fucking fascist lunatic.

It's most likely from 1984 because it's an episode mostly about the Olympics. Donkey Kong debuted in 1982 and that would probably have been too early to feature it on the show in time and 1986 would have been a little late for Donkey Kong.
That said, 1982 is definitely a possibility. Or even a different year if they decided to do an Olympics episode in an off-year. Unfortunately, the website regarding the episode doesn't say.

Edit: Thanks to rrconkle@lemmy.zip for getting the year right!

Matchlock muskets were first introduced into Tibet during the 16th or 17th century, probably via China and India...
...matchlocks continued to be used regularly well into the 20th century...
...The third broad category of Tibetan firearms, to which this example belongs, comprises muskets with varying degrees of decoration, but fully functional and intended for secular use.
Decorated muskets of this type were carried by individuals taking part in festivals, on ceremonial occasions, or by the guards of persons of rank...

Flintlock hand mortars were use for signaling, launching fireworks, and hurling grenades.
They would be operated by two men. One who would insert a lit grenade then duck. The first man ducking would signal to the second man, the shooter, the mortar was ready to fire.
In the event of the mortar not firing when a lit grenade was inserted the operator would throw the device and reel it in by an attached strap.

This Sharps rifle bears no maker’s mark; it was made especially for John Brown. Brown carried this weapon on his Kansas campaign in 1856 and later presented it to Charles Blair of Collinsville, Connecticut. In 1857, Brown contracted Blair to forge pikes for the clandestine slave insurrection he was planning for Harpers Ferry.

It’s generally the lack of parallel institutions run by workers which sabotage such attempts. Revolutions are generally not powerful enough to do anything but take out the current power; this pretty invariably means the second-most powerful group takes over the role of the overthrown power, or the near-seconds squabble amongst themselves over it. Since dictatorships and other authoritarian regimes tend to systemically crush every alternate power base they can get away with crushing, that generally leaves only those they cannot crush - most often religion in societies which have not experienced a deep secularization, the military, and economic powers in just about every society (in the SovUnion at the end of its life, for example, this was the bureaucracy; whereas we are more familiar with it being capitalists and other private economic actors). So ‘theocracy’, ‘junta’, or ‘something amenable to the economic elite’ are most often the results.
A libertarian socialist society will emerge when low-hierarchy institutions have considerable support and deeply established roots during a time of upheaval - such as Rojava taking advantage of pre-existing Kurdish revolutionary institutions which were largely socialist or socialist-sympathetic to lay the foundation of the autonomous administration, once both the Syrian government and Islamist forces had exhausted themselves in the area.
Building parallel institutions now sets up the stage for tomorrow's victories.
Feel free to quote me, unless you're making shit up because you don't actually have an argument. :)
Your literacy is remarkably low. I expressed exhausted enthusiasm that Dem voters finally began to change their opinion on Israel in polling, despite there being multiple escalations of the genocide in the past decade-and-a-half alone that didn't move the fucking needle.
lmao
Sorry that you think licking Trump's boots is a preferable alternative to voting for a dreaded shitlib, who literally won the majority of the less conservative third of this fucking country in their primaries in 2016 and 2020.
I'm sure the Palestinians in the West Bank and Jordanians and Syrians being annexed by Israeli genocidaires are thrilled by your 'principled' stance.
