New site means I'm finally retiring this account. The username is stupid

I'm sure I've seen a dub of this meme but with Jesse and James and Meowth

Fujimoto's so cool. His assistant wrote gay porn and he was like "go support my friend!"

Oh I'm not a communist anymore! All it took was for some Christofascist to post an unhinged rant online.

The new Weezer album is kinda underwhelming tbh. Nothing about any of the songs screams Weezer, they're all kinda generic pop rock. I like some of the songs like Run Raven Run and Can't Dance Don't Ask Me, but they could have been done by anyone really. Idk, it's just not very characteristic of Weezer compared to their more iconic songs from the blue album

That and the 6 degrees of separation plane crash right over Walter's house make season 2 very silly

Vikki has a tiny audience, but she's a big lib, so it could go either way on that.

My lib history teacher made me do that too. On one column was "the British built ports in their colonies :so-true: " and the other was "fucking genocide :agony-deep:

Skyrim is interesting because the main political conflict in the game is actually quite similar, at least aesthetically, to the modern day radical Democrat vs Republican conflict in America. The Empire are shiny and nice, they rule by law, they open up trade and in Skyrim they are literally puppets to fascists. The Stormcloaks are openly racist to elves, they celebrate the founder of their kingdom who committed genocide against the local elves, and they're fighting for national independence in order to enforce their reactionary beliefs. I don't think its purposely written like this, but I think it is accidentally quite good writing about a hopeless political struggle between two reactionary forces. There is no real good ending, the closest you can get is a temporary truce to kill the dragons before the war starts back up again.

Not only is wine yucky but it ALSO is really expensive. Vodka is the yummy drink of the proletariat and if you think otherwise you're a class traitor sorry I don't make the rules

wine is yucky and straight vodka is unironically nicer

 

I understand how the free trade policies lead to monopoly, and I understand how financial monopolies take over industrial monopolies. But I don't really get the jump from monopolies to imperialism.

 

OP in the comments: "A part of why I love this article is this great sample questionnaire to determine how fit you are to be making big decisions about the country:

What is your favorite book? (Cannot answer “The Bible.”)

How many languages do you speak? (Let’s be wary of numbers lower than 3.)

What’s your favorite opera? Ballet? (How can we expect arts funding from people who don’t appreciate the arts?)

When did you last use your passport? Where did you go? (If you don’t have a passport, maybe you shouldn’t be anywhere near foreign policy. Ditto if your travels have only ever taken you to Mexico and Canada.)

Who is your favorite political philosopher? Have you read Burke? Paine? (Any good music teacher will tell you, theory first!)

Obviously it's more of a thought experiment than a serious proposal, but imagine if the people making decisions actually appreciated art and travel and culture. It actually sounds like a constituency you'd find in a major European city, with no Billy Bobs in trailer parks to hold us back culturally."

Hmm, I wonder why exactly rural people hate liberals? :thinkin-lenin: Obviously they are just good for nothing disgusting poors. Back to brunch!
