  • Not quite. It’s anything that meets the minimum for the military. This, for most normal items, means getting the job done and lasting long enough, with an emphasis on low cost and bulk production. The result is “military grade” usually being the absolute worst that still works.

    As someone that outdoors a lot, this shit is great for many items. If I base camp, all my water containers are military, and I have 120mm ammo boxes for food and stuff because animals, water, and air can’t get in. Heavy and inconvenient as hell, but cheap af and works well—that’s military crap for you.

    I used a similar technique once to have ~300 people stand up and check under their seats. All it took was a bit of hype and energy and they all listened to the one person with a mic.

    It was meant to be an icebreaker, but it worked so well it backfired. Everyone under 50 laughed,; everyone over 50 was looking at me like I was the reason they were dealing with credit card fraud issues.


  • Hmm. I forgot US voters don’t actually have a great choice…

    Hey. Voting for the least shittiest option is a start for the people, yeah? 👍 Chin up! They’ve done it a few times, they’ll do it again. Hopefully not needing a WW to piggyback on this time, despite all current attempts.

    Accountability and freedom and all of that stuff that made the world envious of the idea for a good run! It’s still there and always has been!!

    Remember the Constitution! (And the amendments… definitely need those…in their literal form too… Plenty that could be enacted rn)



  • No. I saw someone being inventive with a new narrative that contradicts the actual narrative. I don’t care if the social agenda is gender-based, raising classes of ethnicity, or if they just started being all pro-MAGA; the behaviour is still the same, regardless of the diversity of values in their agenda. It is intentionaly deceitful and the plague that has killed the Information Age.

    So, I think it’s insane to call out my behaviour like that. Not even a male but got “triggered” by a single word reserved for males that lean extreme on a spectrum for males. Gaslight all you want, I’m simply incompatible with what your convenience wishes of me.

    That said, your links are excellent. I encourage you to post them as actual posts where discussion and awareness can be spread proactively, avoiding any disservice toward such important things. Let’s keep our information clean and honest, knowing many people rely on comments over actually reading the content of posts.

    (It was a joke at those who know what a meme is as well as they know what POV means, often the two crossing over in the same post)

    Did just get a great shitpost idea, though…

    Nobody:

    POV we are not the same:

    It’s the trifecta of attrocities.









  • That’s a very ignorant take on history, attempting to disconnect modern day Israel from the Israelites of which also comes Judaism from Israel’s son, Judah and that tribe. Though, this has nothing to do with the religion specifically beyond its ideological influence of history.

    You never thought as to why the modern state of Israel came to exist as it does? Restoration of 900 BC Israel? It was only later Israel would fall to the Assyrians. Then Judah to the Babylonians. The Canaanites at this point were way gone, Amon, Moab, etc., so the Israelites, as the tribes of Israel, were without homeland. No Israel, no Judah, nothing.

    Then the Romans, then the English, blah, blah, blah. Suddenly it’s the 1940s…

    The British administrative mandate of Palestine—as the British empire just did with little regions all over the world—is coming to an end so they put the proposal to the UN. II’s no Kingdom of Judah as well, where Jerusalem formerly was, but most of the landmass is central to the former Kingdom of Israel which was historically more prosperous and “the big one” anyway. Apart from this, it had nothing to do with America. The proposal itself had already been cooking for 30 years prior and the British were happy to execute it with UN agreeance. At times it was looking to go forward before WW2 was even a thing.

    Your last statement is just entirely wrong, but it sounds catchy to anyone that’s never looked at the history.


  • I mean, they invented a religion that places them as God’s chosen people, with a history of genocides and claiming regions backed up by that god. They wrote their stories as the victors and somehow still manage to sound like the bad guys.

    Psychopathy was probably rife in the 12’tribes and I wouldn’t be surprised if it started with their dad, Jacob the maid fucker. Actually, probably his granddad, Abraham, the guy willing to kill his son to please god.

    Either way, it’s been like this for centuries and don’t expect the country to suddenly change any time soon. The divine claim to the “land of milk and honey” has been their long-time casus belli for annihilating entire cities and civilisations + now with US protection!
