Not to do apologia for misogynists/liberals, but I do think theres a certain strain of man and woman throughout America that is more than willing to have women at the table but not at the head of it, especially when there's a person like Trump who encapsulates a lot of what is perceived as masculine to our culture.

Pick up that can

As someone in a similar environment, you got to take these people you meet with a grain of salt. Theyre already self selected through college, colleges are something of a bubble.

You could kinda say thats what happened in Tsarist Russia but youre still going to say that they really only did that after a war and then another war to finally hold power.

China also falls into this boat, but of the main countries I can think of are the conditions of Korea and Vietnam prior to the invasion of the US. The Fascists there could not get or keep any stable hold of power because the classes they needed to work with simply didnt exist or valued their national liberation above collaboration and obeisance of the US/global capital.

More like exceptionalism all the way brown.

I agree. I think the main type of people who think Trump is worse than Biden/Kamala just dont want to see the huge power of imperialism focused back in on itself. Theyre a kind of racist chauvinist that doesnt value the lives of brown people anywhere else unless they are here.

Werent they supposed to get a bunch of long range missiles from the UK to shoot at Russia?

Not a military expert but most antiship missiles I've heard of tend to fly low and fast to strike the side of the ship and make it sink; as opposed to ballistic missiles which are fired in tall unguided arcs that impact the target from a steep angle which can make them penetrate bunkers and destroy buildings more effectively.

most cursed version of idubbbz

The USSR had one and it almost caused WW3

I literally dont remember the last time I saw a gold can coke. It feels like something that died with the W administration.

LMAO i was trying to figure out if the squares were just fillers for white people, before seeing it as a table

Ive been watching malcolm in the middle and yeah the 90s do just seem like they really were a fever dream for everybody involved.

just you wait 2028 will definitely be his year to beat trump once and for all

we just needed to invade north vietnam and burn and kill everything that moved

surprised we dont seem to have a rod dreher parody account active on the site.

This is why active diplomacy is so frowned upon by the natsec people. When you talk to people you learn that they are human, and that you should work together for common good and common cause.

I take the salt comment as a personal affront and will be splitting the hexbear instance over this

i also couldn't figure out how to level up in oblivion (i was 12 or something), so skyrim was an improvement there.

Same. I just ran around and did quests forever, then got a quest where i finally had to sleep to advance it and then i leveled up like 20 times and all the enemies were in daedric when i maybe had some mithril.

It wasnt just tech either though, both McDonalds and Starbucks are doing worse than expected, and a lot of economist/stock people look to those companies as indicators for how the poors and bougie poors are doing with spending.
