If Newsom is General Grevious (a Sepratist), does that mean California wants to leave the United States?

Does the US get all its taxpayer funded investments back? (Navy, Air Force, Army bases, Defense Contractors, etc...)

Maybe just let California leave? They can then fund all their welfare immigrants themselves.
Just kick out San Francisco and LA. Then build a wall around them and shut off their water and electricity.
 
that makes no sense. nukes are useless against internal strife and civil unrest.
They prevent other countries from adopting aggressive positions that could take advantage of unrest until the situation can be calmed.
What’s the point, really? If Iran did ever get a nuke and then what? It’s not like could launch on Israel. Every single county on earth would condemn them and the ME would be in an insane land grab as Russia, China, and America would legit buttfuck everyone there. Iran would dissolve overnight and the area would be nothing but skeletons and red paste.

Even Muslims (Sunni or not) would be pretty much made pariahs overnight in the west. Even bong land, the most cucked place on earth, would be tearing down any power base they had.

It’s the most retarded form of suicide and I doubt Iran is that retarded.
Are you really saying that Shia Muslims don't qualify suicidal actions as worth it? They are death cultists who believe they will get 72 virgins in heaven. You can't let people who don't value life and are aggressive have a nuclear weapon

I will never not get a kick out of all the Bluesky libsh!ts comparing Israel to the evil empire from Star Wars (which has become especially common since Andor's Spider French Palestinian season)/outright comparing Jews to Sith.

Like, even their mask off antisemitism is autistic pop culture nonsense. Also, extra points that none of them gave a solid fuck about Disney Star Wars, despite Disney catering to their libsh!t nonsense for nearly a decade with shows about lesbian space witches, troon clone troopers, black storm troopers, and a Mary Sue being "all the Jedi" after killing all the male Jedi left. No, it's only the property that goes mask off "fuck the Jews!" that libsh!ts proudly stan 🤣

So it goes.

If they’re not coming back to the US, I don’t know what Hegseth would want.

And this sums up how I feel. This reminds me a lot of how George Floyd changed how I generally view blacks.
Before George Floyd: "While there are bad black people, the majority of them are cool folks."
After George Floyd: "Fuck the black community, with a few exceptions most are insufferable and awful. Get them the hell away from me."

Before the Migrant Riots: "I would be lying to you if I said I didn't feel bad for some hispanics, Trump did said "some I assume are good people" after all and I know a few that really are good people."
After the Migrant Riots: "Fuck Hispanics, I want the vast majority of them out. They are not Americans but turncoats and foreign agents for Mexico."

Leftists know that the only way they can get the youth on their side again is to go scorched earth Nazi Germany on the jews. The Dems always accuse the Right of being what they themselves already are so everyone should have seen this coming since the left has been calling every white conservative a Nazi. Funny thing about the Democrats is that they have a history of actually putting their money where their mouth is on this kind of shit.

Oh, believe me, I prefer the former to the latter. The main value of Star Wars is that, unlike the other sci-fi slop that came before it which devalued tradition and religion, is that it valued tradition and religion. It was an echo of traditions past, attempting to break through the wall of mindless futurism.

Hell, the original Rebels WERE traditionalists. The Empire they were fighting were made by Sith insurrectionists who overthrew the traditional Senatorial Aristocracy and the established Jedi religion, and the Rebels were working to restore the two by destroying the Sith and the Empire. They're traditionalists in every sense of the word, fighting for their gods and their laws against what they saw as unlawful authorities.
I think you're incorrect. Like, you botched this. George Lucas implemented real historical aspects to the mythology of Star Wars and combed through the jedi and sith with monk beliefs to make it authentic and unique. It is a mythos as much as The Lord Of The Rings is. Star Wars isn't Star Wars without the archetypes and mythos it draws heavily from. This is when you can use the sequels and The Clone Wars (anything after Disney and in disney canon) as a trait of "just meaningless corporate branding". Even the prequels had a lot of things it added to the mythos for better or worse. You can easily use the contrast of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader as an archetype stand-in for roles from other mythologies (and even Religions). The entire world of Star Wars, the "Force" is essentially a taoist backdrop. The yin and yang constantly tugging at each other. All of this is inherently why and how anyone can get emotional about Star Wars or care so much about it.
Modern stories using archetypal conventions of previous works is a testament to the cultural strength of those previous works, not the modern iteration. There is more to generating an actual cultural mythos than just imitating the past. Everything you say about star wars can be said about sonic the hedgehog, pokemon, or my little pony. Real mythos is MORE than recognizable character tropes and emotional attachment to a childhood series. Especially if you expect your society to base its moral framework off of it (which has been my main point from the beginning and I'm shocked people are still fighting me on this.)

This will be the last I say on the matter: the reason I know I'm right about this is because I can look at the society produced by people who were raised on the stories you're trying to defend. Its weak. Its vapid. Its nihilistic. It crumbles at first contact with civilizations that didn't forsake their strong gods. Harry potter and doctor who aren't inspiring the brittish to expel the islamic and pajeet horde. Star wars and superman arent inspiring americans to fight back against mexican cartels. Time and again in this very thread, it's shown that these stories you guys hold so dearly are doing the exact opposite: creating a generation that is happy to throw away their civilization for the outsider's.
 
You said a set of new tyres for your wife’s car is $1200 for three years. That’s $400 a year for brand new tyres. That’s such a small amount of money that I don’t understand why you’d bother trying to skimp out.
For my wife's minivan which shuttles the kids around, i buy brand new tires every 2 or 3 years for about 1200$ out the door, last time it did that was 2023.
Me saying "I buy the good shit for the wife and kids car and buy cheap shit for my car" is not skimping out on my wife's car. You are incorrect.

You wanted to be correct and scold someone so badly your brain is still refusing to realize "I quoted him saying the exact opposite of what I am accusing him of". It happens, but you should concede your non point or just move on.
 
I like to think I'm carrying on his legacy, but without the spy novels.
SIR do your father proud and at least read a few James Bond books if you haven't already. James Bond empties his suitcases so he can fit more booze in them, those are some real hijinks!
 
Anyone have that 4chan meme where it's a kid in school and in the first panel the karen teacher is teaching him about how he's evil repeatedly, and then the next panel is the kid is saying "I am evil" with a helmet on similar to this?

I feel like it fits well to this situation. We're being told we're evil for supporting these deportations and such. And now I think the general reaction of the population is just saying fuck it, I guess "I am evil" then.

People who read the Greek myths just knew to keep their heads down and pray, because Zeus will rape/kill them if they don't. People who read Shakespeare were horny fags. People who read King Arthur or the tales of Charlemagne's paladins went off to Crusade, and in most cases, were never heard from again, because either they settled down in the Holy Land, or died fighting there.

What the fuck is this timeline.

Donald Trump as president, matpat as a fucking politician, what's next? Is John McAfee gonna come out of wherever he's hiding and give the Epstein files?
God, you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing.
President MatPat.
After Trump deployed Marines to LA, this military member joined an anti-ICE protest in Dallas, declaring, 'We won’t be pawns in stripping away constitutional rights.’
