      And the democrats between then signed a bunch of laws and set a bunch of precedents that they claimed where good and necessary but allowed their shitbag successors to do godawful dystopian nightmare shit

  What’s really wild is it’s almost 23 years on the nose since the war in Iraq started on March 20th, 2003.

  At least Bush and the military apparatus at the time was willing to at least pretend they had legitimacy by calling it “Operation Iraqi Freedom” whereas “Operation Epic Fury” just describes Trump throwing ketchup covered plates at the wall because he’s an irrationally angry bitch baby.

    I had no idea it was called “epic fury” until NPR mentioned it during morning edition today. I almost crashed my car laughing at that Idiocracy-ass name.

    That shit sounds like an energy drink for dudes with restraining orders.

  American Idiot was such a great album. And still pertinent now, more than ever.

  • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I think Holiday may be more relevant now than when it came out.

  The year is 1991, the US goes to war in the middle east. The year is 2002, the US goes to war in the middle east. The year is 2026, the US goes to war in the middle east.

    We actually were deployed to Afghanistan by October 2001.

    Also we were in Iraq until 2011 and in Afghanistan until 2021.

    So while the gap between 2001 and 2026 seems large, its actually only been five years since we ended occupation of Afghanistan.

      Sorry are we not still in Iraq?

  This was the joke back in 2016: “Blink 182 dropped a new album, Clinton is running for president, and Independence day just came out? What year is it?”

  Weird. Two out of three of those things have happened in my house today (might watch a South Park episode just to round it out)

  source

  • hansolo@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Not weird, that’s the point. It’s the inverse of the “crypto? $300 concert tickets? You hit your head pretty hard…” Meme that was around.

  The war on the Iranian regime is way more justified (being for a trade corridor likely to bring enemies together on the same side, than the war in Iraq (which was about resources for America and the Bush family lineage).
