Almost like if you overdo a pendulum swing for a few years it comes back and bites you in the ass. Funny how that works. Sometimes it takes 70 years like the USSR, sometimes longer, but these days things move in a decade or so max. The Overton 'window' is turning into a slideshow.

What I think is particularly interesting is how it used to be LGB. There were no trannies when I was in high school or college. It was known about, but it was not a "thing." Then it absolutely exploded in the 2010's and it's almost like they rewrote history so everyone believed it was always a "thing."

on the whole "iran doesn't do any heckin terrorisms in the west" thing

you guys have it backwards. there are lots of groups trying to do terrorisms all the time, they mostly get stopped.

there's two kinds of terrorism: sudden jihad syndrome is the one that's recognized as terrorism because the connection to an ideology is clear, but the incel version and black rage version is the same. An individual goes crazy after reading too many mean words on the internet and stabs women/drives a truck of peace into a Christmas market/kills a white baby. This isn't organized so surveillance can't stop it.

The second kind is organized. Anything involving more than one person is organized, but one person can also do something organized (Timothy McVeigh or Stephen Paddock for example). In the current world, in western europe and the US, it is not possible for this to happen unless it is allowed to happen.

Sunni terrorism is occasionally permitted in the West, Shia terrorism is not. Why? I dunno. But I do know that it's impossible for Bataclan, the Manchester Arena bombing, the Mandalay Bay shooting, basically anything involving either more than one person or large quantities of weapons after the Oklahoma City bombing, to have been planned and carried out without the glowies knowing it was gonna happen.

A tiktok whore posted the other day that she would have conjugal visits with whoever manages to kill Trump.

Modern women will say there is more to a woman than their body yet at the same time will become a whore.

I am guessing that 47 is aware of these events now.

Gay marriage was solved and the NGOs pushing it needed a new justification to exist

How did they not see the meatheaded, body armored, heat packing bodyguard fingering his weapons 2 feet in front of them, guarding Vance's daughter? Take the fucking hint, retards bro was ready to break some hips

There’s no demographic liberal white women hate more than little white girls.

Tucker Carlson said it.

China announced this weekend that they no longer consider Hawaii to be part of the USA. Spokesperson for the Chinese government said, "If American insist on hurt all us chinese people feerings by rying bout Taiwan not be part of china -- then WE SEE HOW RU RIKE IT WHEN SHOE IS ON OTHER FOOT HEH HEHH?"

China has already begun it's assault on America's soverignity by having members of China's Early Youth Party spam the phrase "Free Hawaii" in hundreds of Call of Duty lobbies. There are also disturbing reports that they may soon direct Chinese programmers to open PR's against Microsoft's (A U.S. based tech company) open source projects on Github that add the phrase to their README.MD or as comments in the code. It is unknown how the U.S. plans to respond to these threatening behaviors at this time.

Lastly any picture of the American flag has been censored in China's tv to only include 49 stars.

Even their memes are bootlegs.

from the fact that there is in fact no heckin shia terrorism in the west

but with the level of surveillance we all live under there shouldn't be any sunni terrorism either, and yet

Yeah it's a weird one. About ten years ago, a gay cousin of mine was describing going to an LGB reggae night, I had no idea what he was on about until I realised and said "Oh, like LGBT?" His response was "No we fucking hate trannies." I saw him last year and he's all "be nice" this and "trans rights" that. Not annoying about it, but totally gaslit into supporting that shit.

Not gaslit - bullied. There are countless gay people who hate this tranny shit and can't stick their neck out or else they'll get the chop.

@CaddestSlown can elaborate more on that.

In fact, I have it from a reliable source that even a lot of trans people hate the activists who never shut the fuck up because they make everyone look bad. It's the same thing: if someone stands up and tells these people to stop acting like spergs, they'll get attacked by the mob.

The last act of shia terrorism that I can think of.

Was the Marine barracks bombing in the 1980s.

Which was in...

LEBANON and at a direct military target rather than some place full of plebs.

So its pretty sus with all these sunni allowed terrorism against plebs on Westoid soil.

 

[MrJokerRager]

So this is what it took, to discipline tiny nations.

Democrats are like the mother that spoils their good too much.

 

[DickMain]

How do these people square this shit away in their heads? It's supposed to be the redneck living in an off-grid shack in the desert coming up with this wacky conspiracy shite, not some college educated urban "elite".

It's a combination of both an extremely large ego problem and a savior complex. They have to be The Good Guys, they just have to be. After all, rights are good, and if I want to give rights to people and you don't then you are part of The Bad Guys!

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Tucker Carlson said it.

For the uninformed, Tucker Carlson said a thing that the right disagreed with this week, so now he's a bad guy.

Because they're morons.

Where can I collect my payments?

Its also worth noting that according to several books in the setting, Replicator food never really tastes quite right. Very close, but never exact. And so things like homemade wine, proper steaks, just regular food you cook is in fact still preferred and there are markets for them.

iirc in TNG and DS9 it's like, you can get a Replicator Big Mac, and you will get the EXACT same Big Mac every time
I think you can futz with it by replicating the ingredients and cooking it yourself so you get a bit of play in the quantity and quality
but yeah Troi goes on at length more than once about how Replicator Chocolate just isn't like the real deal, Riker puts on a big deal about cooking at least once, Sisko's dad runs a restaurant and Sisko cooks a few times on-screen

For the uninformed, Tucker Carlson said a thing that the right disagreed with this week, so now he's a bad guy.

he also let ungoodthinkers talk, that's ten hitlers a minute
