Jews bragging about deportations

Not something I had on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are

She wants to take your health care, and turn it into profit share, and split it up with P-Pierre, and that ain’t fuckin right. She’s turned into a MAGA hag, she’s turned against our Maple Flag, vote against this traitor slag.

Hell, not even the US wants to be a part of the US under the current dictatorship.

OMG, how is this posted and referenced on every comment section of his? How did he get pseudo famous with this video in circulation‽

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago (2 children)

There are genuinely intellectual conservatives but the oligarchic media intentionally prop up pseudointellectuals to further dumb down the population. And I guess it is working.

Let us all remember that when the Soviet Union fell, they did not end the Cold War, they just changed tactics.

It's well known that their most effective tactic for destabilizing a nation is to pour resources into boosting both sides of every debate or social issue, this poisons the well so nobody knows what's real and just defaults to whatever the controlling party says is real. It's an astoundingly effective tactic for killing the spread of news and information that people could use to organize, and sowing infighting and distrust between potential oppositional groups.

They are doing a very similar tactic right now, by boosting absurdism like the whole narrative of an "armed takeover of Canada" as if that's even possibly a thing. Casual browsers know somewhere in the back of their mind that it's absurdism, but they hang on every word because it's sensational.

This is WWE theater. Like the whole administration since the beginning, it's designed to spin stories to keep dumb fucks engaged and wondering what's going to happen next, simultaneously believing in the stories but also knowing logically it's not true. Literally the same cognitive dissonance that made us have to argue with our friends back in the 90's that no, the World Wrestling Federation is NOT employing actual necromancers, that no, it's not a real sport, no the performers would not be allowed to bring swords and weapons into the ring if it was real.

USA has no actual intention of taking over countries like Canada and Panama, they just want to make some huge distraction and sensational story, so that when they change interest rates or deregulate some banking laws, nobody will notice. We'll all be here arguing with each other if it's even possible for the USA to "take over" a neighboring nation, with the same earnestness that we used to explain that using a steel chair in a sporting event could be considered disqualifying in normal circumstances.

This isn't to say the rhetoric isn't dangerous, but what they're doing financially is going to be far more damaging to our actual future in America.

To "work the canal"? Does this idiot think they row the boats through it or something?

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He thinks they are digging the canal or something. Can't blame him, the american education system is a failure

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Ben Shapiro is supposed to be one of the bow-tie wearing, Ivy League educated, violin playing, chess mastering "Smart" conservatives.

The amount of treason that is openly committed by these people is astounding.

[–] aSadBowlofSoup@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Is there no law or anything like this in place? Why hasn’t our government called her out on all her actions? She’s suppose to be representing Canada and doing what’s best for Alberta and Canada. She’s literally popping over there and openly committing treason. There’s no other way to see this.

And when libtards rise up, you and your dry-wife will be raised up, too.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

And when libtards rise up

checking the history of Italy from 1919 to 1940

I cannot find anything in here about liberals rising up. Did you mean... socialists?

Stay strong Canada.

It's very clear that the only thing Ben knows about Panama is that it has a canal.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 9 points 6 days ago

Apparently not yet, since they send people there to work on it.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Easy there, Heinrich Himmler

[–] aSadBowlofSoup@lemm.ee 13 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Try it Ben lol you’d be number one on American propaganda hit list. Like what Ukrainians did to Russian propagandists

[–] GoodOleAmerika@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] aSadBowlofSoup@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Crazy how Ben will threaten a nations leader, but if someone does it back, he will probably cry about it. Nothing applies to these dumb Yanks and Yankaboos

PP was all in with Trump and fElon, also… Until shit started going down in the US. He’s a traitor.

[–] PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yea and the whole Trump "He's not my kind of guy" thing screams like a lie to get Canadians to think Skippy isn't affiliated with Trump. But Skippy meeting with the family that owns the largest chain of for-profit hospitals is what scares me the most. If he wins, he'll push either an American system, or more likely a 2 tier system. Either way we get fucked.

Is she a piece of shit, too, or just unfortunate genetics?

Just make sure you're out in front pal, I want to make sure I get a clear picture.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago

Shapiro needs to break a baseball bat in half and shove it down his throat until he can't see it anymore.

Maybe then he'll be worth listening to.
