Democrats aren’t ineffective idiots, they’re actively malicious demons who are sick with glee at the thought of how much this is going to help their fundraising.

I always see this precedent argument whenever fascists do something to other fascists, but the US government doesn’t need precedent to act against leftists. There is no point in defending one of the most odious and evil people alive against the machine he helped put into overdrive. They are coming after leftists regardless of whether or not they successfully deport Musk. If they can’t deport him they aren’t going to just throw up their hands and go “welp looks like we can’t go after the left now that the world’s richest fascist bought his way out of trouble”. I guess this sounds harsh but in my view this is just one step removed from liberals who think they can cast spells against the state using legalisms.

It’s not a “scandal” just because Zionists don’t like it

Nothing will beat the r/Professors post about how their student is a weak crybaby for asking for an extension because their mother was dying in the hospital and how all their students with accommodations were faking it because they’re lazy and are useless burdens that need to be expelled

Expressing nazi opinions on neurodivergent people is socially acceptable.

100 trillion billion dollars to contractors in a “public-private” partnership that turns into 30 years of construction that ends up abandoned forever after making exactly 1% progress

Do people forget that any rando can go onto google maps and rate how busy a place is?

It’s amazing how even after all this they still believe the law is some higher power they can use to cast spells against the state and not a man-made invention wielded by the state

  1. Did anyone else just hear gunshots?
  2. Why are there cop cars here?
  3. Why is a helicopter circling over here?
  4. Where’s my dog?

The answers to which are always the same:

  1. A car backfired
  2. Because they’re there every day to brutalize the poor for stealing a toothbrush from hapless Walmart
  3. Because you live right next to the airport
  4. A coyote had it for dinner

Someone tell me how to convince my relatives to remove this shit from their house

 
 
 
 

40,000 dead: not genocide

Wonder what the khummus condemners have to say about their Uyghur freedom fighting heroes being known for nothing other than stabbing sprees and vehicle ramming attacks

 

99% of militaries quit their bombing campaigns right before breaking the will of the population

 

Apparently the latest thing is diversity in aviation. The disconnect between chuds and reality is truly something to behold. Someone sent me a Jimmy Dore (lmao) clip about le ebil DEI initiatives turning aviation into madmax (Mr. Dore has also progressed to the "shilling for precious metal retirement funds" stage of chud talk show host). His dumbass cohost, with his brain leaking out his ears, got angry about how everyone "needs to pass the test". As someone who has been administering said test(s), it is just a stunning showcase of the semi-sentient state of mind he must constantly occupy.

It's amazing that it needs to be said, but -

1. Everyone needs to pass the test. Black people need to take the same tests as everyone else. Not a single person is exempt from this. Black pilots perform to the same standards as everyone else. By the time they're in the cockpit of an airliner, they've passed at least 8 separate tests (not including written exams).

2. Yes, they can cut you some slack on the tests. No, it's not a diversity thing. Most examiners are old white guys with one foot in the grave. Any leniency towards a black applicant is 100% going to be given to everyone else. If you are a member of a marginalized group you are far less likely to be receiving the positive aspects of examiner discretion, however.

3. Sometimes unqualified people slip through the cracks. This is also not a black people thing. Remember the Atlas Air fiasco? The lying on applications and being mercy passed? Happens not unfrequently, mostly from white guys though. Didn't see the same outrage when Capt. Winslow of the Colgan Air flight in 2009 lied about failing previous tests and being constantly mercy-passed.

4. No the test is not "easy". It's not a DMV test where you have to kill somebody to fail. You have to actually know how to fly the plane. Take a look for yourself.

5. Failing a test is obviously not good, but about half of people have failed at least 1. A subsequent pass means you learned from your mistakes and are now qualified. Outrage about hiring people with a "history of failure" is mostly histrionics.

6. Again, no person is exempt from testing requirements. There is no slack given to black applicants that isn't given to others.

There is literally no valid outrage material here. It's amazing what they come up with. I guess consulting people actually involved would be too much work.

Feel free to comment with any other chud outrage regarding aviation and I'll be happy to respond after being flabbergasted by the complete lack of research involved.

 

Don’t you spent half your time bloviating that gommulism don’t work because humans are inherently greedy and selfish? Looks like you just couldn’t cut it in the marketplace of g*ming. Cheating incentivizes innovation. Why are you anti-competitive? You want to force the game to be fair and equal? What are you, a tankie?
