omg yes, the trademarked run-on sentences from the Big Picture are nuts. It's the same thing I used to do back in Middle school when I didn't understand that the comma and semicolon were not infinite resources.
Or even the full stop. Bob needs to learn that making one sentence about five different things doesn't make you look smart.
It's a classic method of attempting to look or sound smarter than you actually are. Dumb people think that using big words and elaborate writing styles makes them sound intelligent, but all it does is make it impossible for anyone to understand them. If you want to convey information, use as few words as possible, and keep the structure simple. TDSers harped on about how Trump apparently speaks at a 5th grade level, without understanding that in doing so, he was able to get his point across to broad swaths of the population very easily.
I'm no fan of Trump but he's right there.
If you can't explain something in words the man in the street would understand, you don't understand that thing.
Perfect summation. Although, would it be beneath Bob to potentially pull out the "I am on the spectrum" or "I may be on the spectrum" card to deflect criticism in the future? One of these days, a Lefty Blue Checkmark or a spank bank babe of his will come along and smack him back down as hard or even harder than Lindsay did and he may not be able to shrug it off.
I don't think that would save him given that he hasn't mentioned his atsimu elsewhere and he doesn't have the shame needed to admit that he was wrong.
I mean, i have an advantage because "propaganda" means "advertisement" in Spanish
Does it? I thought ”anuncio” meant ”advertisement”.
There's very little compelling reason to give someone else, ally or not, nuclear weapons and missiles. Why spread them around when we have ours?
Add to that the not-unreasonable concern that a South Korean missile program might be vulnerable to North Koreans, in the same way Britain shared the development of Chobham armor with the US with the understanding the Germans would not be in on the secret.
I wasn't suggesting giving South Korea nukes, I was saying that we shouldn't discourage them from building their own rockets given it deters the North from attacking and means they have to rely on the West less.
I believe "propaganda" used to be a neutral term, meaning public relations or even public information. Abuse naturally shifted the perception of the word to "official information that cannot be trusted."
It came from an institution in the Catholic Church - the Propaganda Fide, which got renamed the Commission for the Evangelisation of Peoples after Vatican II.
Why is this creature going along with the anti-capitalist idiots if he's the very definition of blind consumerist?
And why is he babbling about alt-right propaganda when he himself gobbles propaganda like the average-sized meals he shoves down the septic tank he calls his stomach?
Because his waifus say those things and he thinks that if he parrots his waifus he'll be recognised by them and immediately gain a harem of boyfriend-free girls.
If I had to guess, something about CIA meddling in mostly peaceful regimes. Not that I'm any big fan of the CIA, but conveniently ignoring the fact that every time a power from the other hemisphere has been allowed to set up shop on this hemisphere, battleships and nukes were not far behind. Trying to parse it into a sane opinion without any calls for death and brutality would break his brain.
I'm not the sort of guy who loves Pinochet although I'm not averse to jokes about free helicopter rides, but it's hard not to defend the glowies installing him and toppling Allende when you know that:
1) Allende wasn't installed with a majority of the popular vote and conservative parties (the National Party and the Christian Democrats) got a majority of the popular vote in the 1973 elections.
2) Vuscovic (Allende's minister of finance) devalued the escudo and caused hyperinflation, so wages were falling in real terms under Allende.
3) Allende was taking advice from Castro and there was a fear that Chile might go red, especially given that the communist takeover of Cuba was fresh in people's minds.
Imagine him shouting some praise for the cause before he gets a 7.62 x 39 mm lobotomy.
Given how some Russians in the gulags acted he wouldn't be the first to do that.
”Long live the Revolution!”
*bang*
”One more disloyal pig bites the dust.”
