โWhy would people want to be independent from the government that sterilized them as recently as the 60โs and 70โs, abducted their children, and imposed racial segregation in Greenlandโ
I still cant believe the Greenlandian independence parties won the election lol, Greenland independence has to be the dumbest idea ever
You literally have full self autonomy, and you collect insane paychecks from Denmark
why are u doing this
Denying the moon landing is boring, and denying the Holocaust is just evil and horrible. we need fun kinds of historical denialists. Industrial Revolution deniers, Reformation deniers, Sui Dynasty deniers, skyโs the limit.
I donโt like how people try to find โIndianโ reasons for Haley and Ramaswamyโs various derangements. Sheโs a neocon and heโs an all-American rich guy crank, their ethnic heritage is the least important part of their personas.
@LegoRacers2
when civilization breaks down circa 2100 there is a high likelihood we will be enslaved by amish warlords, the only people prepared for our new feudal lifestyles
@nise_yoshimi
Heโs also like, the guy whose face is on the money. Westerners seeing the use of Maoist symbols in China as terrifyingly radical would be like if an American used a George Washington picture and you took it to mean he supported slavery.

@Athenion3
half the guys who say this are liberal hawks really invested in Ukraine. Bub, Iโm pretty sure that if Russians started opposing the war in such large numbers that Putin had to withdraw, youโd call it a dub too.
@PunishedFredda
itโs so funny that all these top politicians, after inviting her (in some strange show of masochism) on stage to call them cowards complicit in the deaths of millions, are only now going, โwait, she believes the stuff she says?โ
@le_post_enjoyer
anime is the one genre where the works that snobs gatekeep people about are the most vulgar and lowbrow. the โnormie garbageโ is like, everything thatโs actually good, while the โsophisticated anime loversโ watch hideously bad and actually repulsive escapism
@SocDane
it doesnโt look disgusting and neither does British food! slop is a sacred part of the human condition! any Northern European, or anybody else for that matter, who betrays slop betrays himself.
@ElonMusgraves
Shaun is part of the Breadtube generation. All of those guys signed a pact with the Devil giving them success and big audiences as long as they never talked about politics in a way that would actually help do anything.
@still_oppressed
โNever Againโ means that suggesting that it ever could happen again is offensive to the German, the real victim, and his sacred redemption, the source of his modern superiority complex
@RealOdysseas
are Germans even aware of how badly theyโve ruined their image? I already didnโt trust the German government, but now itโs clear that the entire society is off their rocker and cannot be trusted as partners internationally or against right-wing extremism
Weโre going back for another quote-tweet folks, I just noticed that he wrote โGreenlandianโ
Itโs Greenlandic. This would be like opining on politics in France and then calling them โFrencheseโ
I still cant believe the Greenlandian independence parties won the election lol, Greenland independence has to be the dumbest idea ever

@RaceplayShawty
biggest complaint about the cyberpunk 2077 anime is that he gets a big cushy apartment. bro should be coming back from his job to a coffin apartment that he shares with three boarders and squeezing in to sleep like a Tetris block
@isaiah_bb
It is a little bit like how American liberals insist that Trump is not representative of American values, except in a country where equivalents of Trump and even worse regularly run away with enormous shares of the vote.
@LegoRacers2
every Icelandic person Iโve spoken to knows somebody whoโs famous or important in Iceland. there are so few of them that you have like max two degrees of separation to everyone in the country lol

theyโre some of the most effective Regimers out there, made the line go up, internationally pretty popular both among governments and regular people, no prominent opposition
@greeleydos
dinner table conversation where the parents are like โyou will support the Palestinian liberation struggle or youโre getting groundedโ
@EDRMesa
I doubt they even realized that that isnโt the national flag of Somalia, to these people the idea that African countries have subnational divisions and arenโt just the barbarians from Civilization is completely foreign
@PunishedFredda
there are countries where these kinds of things just happen, and there are Normal Countries like us where itโs a terrible aberration. an actually good movie about this would require Americans to be capable of comparing themselves to Syrians or Colombians
@hausofdecline
Did Dave know there was an ass portal in the house when he bought it? Does it predate the house? How did Patrick find out where the portal went?
@LegoRacers2
the thirty years war was the most fromsoft itโs ever gotten (unnecessarily fashionable Landsknechts, incredibly grimdark, basically the apocalypse). there was probably some plucky little dude dodge rolling around trying to kill Wallenstein
@Seamus_Malek
Never mind that Russia has at worst an ambivalent relationship to Israel or that the countries have incredibly close cultural and economic ties, especially among the elite. It *feels* good to say the Palestinians are Putin plants, so thatโa what sheโll say.
I love how these morons reflexively go to the most hardline pro Taiwan position they can imagine while not knowing even the first thing about it. a Taiwanese nationalistโs whole thing is that Taiwan *isnโt* China
Determining what Russia โisโ rapidly becomes early Christian theology. 50% European and 50% Asian? One inseparable nature, both European and Asian? An Asian nature subordinate to the European one? 100% European and 100% Asian?

@gracecthdralprk
itโd be funny if there were like Japanese people converting to Christianity and being like โuh Jesus is really more of a metaphorโ

A would be weird because sheโd presumably have to warehouse the 29 other bodies when not in use and I donโt think my apartment has that kind of space
English bilingualism so pervasive that people struggle to speak a โcleanโ version of their own language? Inferiority complex with the Anglo world? Big pharmaceutical industry? Rabid hatred of Islam? People called โDanish?โ Yes sir, Denmark is India!
@ElonMusgraves
i love the idea of just assuming that any mostly white country must be conservative because white Americans lean conservative. expressing bafflement at the conservative regime in Uganda because shouldnโt black people vote for the democrats?
as much as many Ukrainians hated Stalinism, the red army were enthusiastically greeted as liberators when they returned to Ukraine, because the Nazis were just that awful. read any book about Ukraine during the war and youโll get why
@MarginalScri
The West has completely memory holed the Russian revolution in general, thereโs a lack of comprehension of how great an effect it actually had on the world.
@LegoRacers2
they had another name for themselves but as soon as they came in contact with mankind they were like โfuck, weโre basically adjacent to those guys. barely even deserve our own species name to be honestโ
@souljagoytellem
A real racist would know that Minnesota has such a high concentration of Nordic genes that all of its schools are elite. Stancil is legally an Aryan warrior chief
One of the strangest conservative tics is comparing things they donโt like to religion. you guys are supposed to like religion, why do you use it as a synonym for unreasonable beliefs?!
@MarginalScri
really convenient that all of the countries where the population are apparently too savage for self-government are also the ones our governments are supporting all the dictators in
funny how that happens
@AnonymousLeftie
I think Americans just absorb the messaging from all sides and just harmonize it into some kind of unified but completely incoherent worldview lol
@ElonMusgraves
when he got pressed he moved to โwell it wouldnโt undo the damage colonialism didโ a logic by which no colony ever should have become independent because it would just be pointless lol
@REMARKSIST
absolute historical malpractice that a generation of historians were like โactually the Nazis just copy pasted it all from the USSR, recent German history was completely irrelevant.โ
Lmfao. Yeah totally man the IMT are a Russian conspiracy, indigenous Europeans would NEVER come up with things like โTrotskyismโ or โminuscule communist parties that do nothing other than put up postersโ
Sweden, Denmark and Austria. They all look the same.
Who is really behind this? Have you seen it in your country?
Is Communism suddenly out of the blue booming? We donโt see it in any opinion polls anywhere but there is a lot of stickers in diffferent Europe major cities.
@MadocCairns
Well, we wrote a string of really good novels in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but it mostly wasnโt conservative guys writing those and anyway conservatives are uninterested in those examples of actual culture produced by Americans.
@PunishedFredda
Worth noting also that there are UN member states with far smaller populations and fewer natural resources than Greenland has. It is not uniquely unable to exist on its own.
@PunishedFredda
itโs so funny that these idiot American billionaires go to the Nordic countries and refuse to understand that they canโt just violate every norm of doing business there
@LegoRacers2
Had Nixon died in 1958, his achievements would have been immortal. Had he died in 1968, he would still have been a great man but flawed. But he died in 1994. Alas, what can one say?

my god man it was called the Iron Curtain instead of the Cheese Curtain for a reason, making the metaphor a cultural stereotype weakens the metaphor
people are generally insanely bad at distinguishing Taiwanโs political factions. M-Lโs attack independence types by dunking on Chiang, whom they hate, and neocons try to support them by saying that Taiwan is the real China, which they also hate
@MarginalScri
this Guyana thing is like a parody of Twitter geopolitics talk. literally an issue that nobody knew anything about a week ago where everyone has extremely strong opinions they got from posts and try to use the issue to dunk on groups they donโt like
@GMomurder
You see the PRC is a magnificent juggernaut of world communism but it will also dramatically implode if a couple Americans do a zoom call about Chinese labor actions

kinda wonder if the numbers in Europe and the US are low because we donโt have many edible bugs in the west or if our pickiness means we donโt eat bugs that would be considered edible elsewhere

@souljagoytellem
itโs ok to fall for bait, the important thing is that you showed your True Postersโ Honor by admitting that you fell for bait
@souljagoytellem
thereโs definitely a pragmatic reason for it, but I do think the UKR govt and many citizens genuinely identify with Israel for a variety of reasons. they see it as a model as a militarized bastion of โwestern valuesโ, some have family ties there, etc
I feel like Chomsky did some damage to American leftistsโ approach to international events by making foreign analysis more about criticizing American media than coming to independent conclusions based on research of local politics and history
@Seamus_Malek
I canโt comprehend why Westโs campaign is this ridiculous, did he get taken for a ride by crank consultants, or is he purposely sabotaging his campaign so he doesnโt himself sabotage Bidenโs?
@promiseli0
Itโd be really funny if there was a group of Chinese liberal tourists taking trips to โthe big city, New York,โ โWashington dc, origin of the 300 year plan,โ โDes Moines, Iowa where the population is predominantly ethnic Americanโ
@LegoRacers2
The slapping of a nationalist symbol onto a statue built by the Soviets also feels like a demonstration of the inability of the post-soviet order to actually produce something new, rather than endlessly re-litigating issues of historical memory
@LegoRacers2
everything went downhill once educated classes started using vernacularsโฆ there was a chance to right the ship with Esperanto, but alas it was not taken
@RealOdysseas
Mette Frederiksen said as well that it was โrelativizationโ to care equally for Palestinian civilians. All of our politicians are open racists, too despicable for words to describe.
@MarginalScri
Iโm not at all a Scottish nationalist but like, the SNP have an inclusive conception of Scottish identity and they want to secede in a referendum. Israelis maintain their state through an *ethnic* majority built on enormous violence and unequal suffrage
Anti-Woke guy in the Ottoman Empire: we lost the navy at Lepanto because there arenโt any real men anymore, just Sufi Justice Warriors who spend all their money in coffeehouses. Maybe you wouldnโt have all that time to ponder God if you got a DAMN JOB

they confuse โthe Leftโ with โmy Twitter for you page.โ For example, I got QTโd by a certain Boring Slowpoke some months ago and he referred to me as an โactivist,โ which I am not. But for him โactivistโ and โTwitter interlocutorโ are the same.

you liar, he emerged from the mountains one day, fully formed and clad in workout clothes, and made a beeline straight towards Washington
@GMomurder
these guys despise โtankiesโ but their entire aesthetic has been completely designed as a kind of mirror to communist internet subcultures. The national flags and emblems, the monomaniacal obsession with geopolitics, and the uhh frequent atrocity denial
@MarginalScri
this completely misses what actually makes Palestine a litmus test: that itโs a risky and deeply unpopular position to take despite being morally straightforward.
Every western government supported the Syrian anti-Assad forces and condemned his crimes.
