  You know that makes me want to post

  Back in 2016, there was something amazing: /r/TheDonald/

  I was following that in amazement. Donnie T capitalized on the army of detached dummies (deplorables) that had been cultivated by decades of Fox News (style media). They were so detached that even mainstream republicans couldn’t get a hold - Donnie T would just go further.

  And by the time the 2016 election got closer, that /r/ would just go more unhinged. All the Dems and old Reps were (satanist) pedo’s and if Donnie got elected, he’d hang them all in his first month.

  Crazily, the rest of them never opposed them. They didn’t call them out on it. They just went along as if they were some kind of aligned faction.

  Of course after they won there were some stragglers wondering out loud when the massive pedo roundups were going to happen, but after a while that fizzled out.

  Most of them are more than happy to ally themselves with the complete loonies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lets put it this way: When was the last time Iran launched a “preemptive” strike on Israel or the US?

  Well, for example: Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel on oct 8th 2023 right after Hamas did their infamous attack, as a show of support. Hezbollah is a proxy organisation for Iran getting their intel, training and weapons from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A1: if Iran is sending members of their military to oversee weapon shipments to groups that attack Israel, or to coördinate with groups that attack Israel, don’t you see that that’s a little bit different from “we’re just peacefully sitting at home and they attack us out of nowhere” ?

  A2: if you’re going to conflate this with the attack on Iraq you’ll ha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We can flip that argument

  I’m happy you’re seeing the light :)

  the US+Israel bombs you anyway

  Well, no.

  Can you give any examples of either Israel or the US bombing Iran or something like you describe that wasn’t linked to their nuclear program?

  For clarity: impotent calls to attack Iran have always been there: from inside the US (remember McCain singing), from Israel (well, Iran is sponsoring the ‘freedom fighters’ in direct conflict with Israel for decades) and even from Saudi Arabia (which was also confirmed in Cablegate).

  But can you give any examples of the US or even Israel directly attacking them since like the 80’s?

  Claims from Bibi with a cartoon that Iran is working on nukes: no attack Strong indications that they are, indeed, working to acquire nukes: Stuxnet, assassinations, negotiations Clear proof that they are ramping up production of highly enriched uranium: negatiotions Refusal to stop their production: attack + pickachu

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well they could, and I know this is a crazy idea but bear with me for just a moment, not try to make nuclear weapons

  “I need nuclear weapons to protect me from people attacking me because they want to prevent me from getting nuclear weapons” -> somewhere there’s a bit of circular logic in there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Their sovereignty’ in this case being a religious elite of around 5% that holds the rest of the people as their cattle.

  Sure from their pov they ‘need’ those nukes, but unless you’re on their side it’s a very good thing if they don’t get them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, the ‘everyone with nukes and a button to destroy the world’ philosophy

  Sure sounds great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IAEA made it quite clear that Iran was, in fact, producing highly enriched uranium. There’s no other use for than to make nukes

  Ironically, IAEA reports also supported that Iraq was not doing so back in 2003.

  Ok boomer

  Sorry I can see a 20 y/o actress doing a sex scene without dreaming of Epstein ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you can’t watch a movie with an actress that’s 18 or even in her twenties without automatically thinking she’s being exploited, I guess you just need to turn off the tv, stop reading books and, finally, stay off the internet.

  Teens have (consensual) sex, people are going to tell stories that reflect life, young actresses (and actors) are going to play teens and twentysomethings that crave and have sex.

  I get thinking a 17 y/o in an explicit sexual role is a bit risqué but if you need them to be 30+ it’s just fully ridiculous for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen the movie, only read synopsis and reviews, and it doesn’t seem at all like the actresses are sexualized. It’s a coming of age comedy. Maybe the idea about 15 year olds thinking about sex is what got your mind going at the time?

  Can you explain how they were exploited?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But then what do you find wrong with that movie? Apparently it’s about 15 year olds trying to get laid at camp. I sure was trying to get laid at camp when I was 15

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not exactly of boomer age myself but deducting that you’re younger I think it’s pretty sad that you have this opinion…

  Yeah, teenage girls are interested in sex. Even lesbian sex! Sorry. It’s sad that you think it’s ‘unhygienic’ or whatever that there’s movies about it.

  A few decades later American Pie broke the box office on the same premise. Is that ok because it’s all heterosexual?

  How much do you want to bet that Ubisoft massively overhired personnel when they were making money hand over fist, forgetting to take into account how much money they could actually make from their IP?

  These workers were fools to join or stay with Ubisoft

  Well I read about some camgirls who found out they made more money acting like a gamrgurl. But I’m sure there’s plenty more girls who start out with the same ambition as their male counterparts. I imagine it’s super tough for them to balance on that slippery slope when it becomes your job to get as many subscribers and donations as possible. And even if they don’t there’s going to be plenty of creeps, just like with ‘classic’ celebrities.
