Bro is seriously trying to argue making a play on words about ethnic cleansing out of the name of a Jewish guy proves he’s not antisemitic hahahaha I can’t
U can oppose genocide without making antisemitic remarks, I do it all the time
Was this the Brown Frats? Anecdotally when I was in athletics I’d be in classes with frat kids and they’d talk about getting hazed and were like “so what’d they do to you” and them to be genuinely shocked to hear “nothing, my team doesn’t haze people.”
The most common path for former armed forces members is government work like FEMA and BLS (as well as cop lol) but even amongst PMCs there’s “stand around with a rifle on a container ship” PMCs and “burn down the town near the mine the local government wants to open” and Blackwater is the latter.
“Politicians are all vein, selfish schemers” is a common trope of “realistic” fiction but is it true? For some surely but there’s lots of politicians who have to make hard choices but genuinely do care about and are trying to help people.
It’s not good but it’s also a fairly direct pipeline at many elite schools many of my peers took (not me, to be clear). It’s probably why most of our elites are detached robots that spew out focus grouped tropes but my point is, comparatively it’s not nearly as bad as working for fucking BLACKWATER
The way Hegseth in particular exalts in the moral depravity of killing innocent children, gloating and bloviating in press conferences and interviews genuinely makes me think I’m looking into the eyes of some sort of fictional personification of true evil.
An administration of the type of shitheads who sucker punch random guys at the bar for no reason
Pete’s cardinal sin was doing the thing literally 40% of my graduating class did out of college and work for a big 5 consulting firm for 18 months and nothing for Platner working for America’s Wagner group while sporting a Nazi tattoo.
Bro did the EastAsia/Eurasia switchup like 7 times in one post
Yep. Ford represented a very specific kind of Being Cool By Being A Dipshit that used to be right at the heart of American pop-culture depictions of masculinity.
Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart both excelled at it.
Imagine what Norman would say if he was around to see this
The Tune is only nice if you enjoy the company of belligerent shithead chuds
Is Lockmart washed? This peoples’ GOAT of the primes? This sniveling weasel bullshit?
So like when is it safe to say that there is literally nothing more to this than a personality cult. Something like 80 million Americans have an internal life literally completely indistinguishable from your average cultist in Jonestown
Also they may not be as repressive as the Ayatollah *yet* but Likud is also a far right anti-democracy party and Bibi is a wannabe dictator. He believes pursuing this war of aggression will get him closer to that goal.
These ships are as large as the Empire State Building turned on its side and have like 12 people in them.
They’re getting their brains boiled by Twitter’s algorithm telling them they should be ashamed of being a PMC scribe. Me? God I’m so happy to be one. My job as a teenager was literally to carry around 100 pound fire hoses and hook them up to a giant machine, then carry them back. It was miserable.
They should really just get more fulfilling hobbies than Twitter instead of making it all of our problems by trying to astroturf a Nazi into the U.S. senate

Every single person in the Trump admin is in an arms race to look the most like this
Ukraine already wasn’t getting air defense interceptors, or any aid really from the US. it hasn’t in nearly a year. Elbridge Colby stole it all for his pivot to Asia and CENTCOM is now stealing it all from him.
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
Just under but we’ll cross the threshold soon. Also only stuff like direct deaths from malnourishment and preventable disease. The knock on effects are only getting started. The RSF massacres from late last year of the mass destabilization that will eventually result from the death of USAID.
If we just get rid of this meddlesome muad’dib we can get a pro-Harkonnen proxy to lead the Fremen
The media loves, specifically, wars of choice against a non-peer because it allows them to larp as conflict journos while they sit in an air conditioned CRAM protected FOB. They are gaslighting themselves within their social circles that their fellow Americans also want them to do this.
It’s honestly wild that American media has “are liberals trapped in a bluesky bubble???” debates every two weeks while a 22 year old groyper White House staffer known as BasedBoss1488 remixes scenes from 300 in a propaganda video for a toxically unpopular lame duck president’s war of choice
It’s alright I’ve got an extra
Releasing this oped on the same day this video of evangelical leaders are literally packed into the Oval Office as close to Trump as physically possible makes me think guy has a fetish for being wrong
Do words mean fucking anything? How can someone listen to this facially ridiculous tripe and take it seriously?
