Maybe you can convince the UN to re-open the case they closed on the matter.
Keep simping for the regime that stonewalls UN investigators; after all, bootlicking is all Nazi scumbags like you know how to do.
Typically people leave after saying goodbye but ok.
Imagine going to a farewell party and being surprised that the person leaving is attending, lmao.
And then you reply and we get into the whole thing where I keep asking you to provide a shred of evidence to substantiate your beliefs, and you reply that one must not test our Lord God the State Department and that blessed is he who believes the US government without having seen and skepticism is the tool of the devil, blah blah blah.
Cute, considering that you've been in numerous disputes on that matter, and were provided with reliable sources which you rejected as "Adrian Zenz" despite the fact that the vast majority of the evidence provided in said sources had nothing to do with Zenz.
But hey, genocide deniers aren't here because you listen to evidence. You're here because you're fascist bootlickers who love the slaughter of minorities, as long as it's by 'your' camp.
So, for both of our sakes, I will now block you again.
Don't know why you felt the need to announce that since pretty clearly blocking me is apparently meaningless to you, but okay.
Yes yes, by defending myself from the accusation of being a witch, I’m calling the Church a liar and proving my guilt.
No, by your repeated previous denials of evidence provided, you're proving you're a Nazi bootlicker. Sorry if that's too complex for you to understand.
I’m confused. You’re bootlicking the genocide of Italians too. We’re all bootlicking the genocide of the bubbly wumpuses in the fairy kingdom. All through the power of imagination, after we’ve completely severed any concern for evidence.
Thanks for proving my point through repeated comparisons of the actual, ongoing Uyghur Genocide to notions of a fantastic genocide.
I’m just wondering what the statute of limitations is here. Are you still gonna be in your farewell thread next week? Next month?
I'll probably check up intermittently as long as it's active, and when it's inactive, I won't be here. Sorry that you think it's regulated by some law?
Don’t worry, I’ll block you again soon. I know you can’t resist engaging with me.
Cute coming from someone who unblocked me specifically to engage with me. :)
I responded to your dogshit any time I see it, regardless of whether or not you had me blocked, so I don't know what you think that blocking me changed, lmao.
I’m talking about your accusations further down the thread.
Awfully funny that you post a link to a comment much further up in the thread, then. Almost like it's all disingenuous fascist bullshit. :)
You know, the part where you call me a fascist for refusing to believe things without evidence?
lmao
You were a participant in numerous conversations with evidence regarding the Uyghur Genocide previously. Sorry that I called you out and didn't play ball with your usual technique of sealioning. :)
What does that matter? You’re also a genocide denier, regarding the Italian Genocide. Everyone on earth is a genocide denier.
Anything to bootlick for genociding minorities, I see.
No, actually, I have reason and evidence, which you lack.
lmao
I did have you blocked. I unblocked when I heard you left.
What's the logic there, I'm curious. Other than, of course, the usual logic of repeating blatant misinformation and genocide denial wherever you can?
Your farewell thread from two days ago? Quite the Southern Goodbye.
Sorry that you think a thread is timed like a real-world conversation? lmao.
Exactly what I’m talking about. You know that most people won’t read through the conversations to know you’re lying.
Talk about projection.
Me providing a link (see bottom left for the exact link) to evidence in the very first comment, followed by quoting the link when disputed, and providing further evidence.
Me literally screenshotting the link provided to show where you were wrong, and pointing out that you failed to understand what I was saying entirely, followed by me providing evidence of your genocide denial (link at bottom left)
Like most Nazis, repeating lies often in the hopes that they'll be believed is all you have.
Aren’t you supposed to be logging off?
Didn't you claim to have me blocked?
Sorry that I'm active in my fucking farewell thread, I know that's such a radical idea.
Now that you’ve noticed I’ve unblocked you, I doubt you’ll be able to stay away for a week.
lmao.
Even if it were true that he had no choice but to be terminally online, his personality is insufferable, he digs in hard to his positions and can’t be reasoned with.
Sorry that you don't like it when I provide evidence and you refuse to read it, as in the comment sections you linked.
I believe he’s had drama with trans spaces (something about neopronouns, it was a long time ago) before because of that sort of thing.
"Something about neopronouns"
Ah, this old canard. Unsurprising that you'd spread more blatant misinformation.
I believe my last conversation with him involved him screaming at me and calling me a fascist because I said that I wouldn’t believe claims without evidence.
Amusing that you literally link to me providing evidence multiple times.
And then following me around calling me a fascist while still refusing to provide a shred of evidence for his claims.
Sorry that you don't like it when it's pointed out that you're an Uyghur Genocide denier.
All I’m saying is that, regardless of the reasons, too much internet can create brainworms, bad politics, and toxicity.
Imagine saying this as an Uyghur genocide denier and PRC bootlicker.

It's most likely from 1984 because it's an episode mostly about the Olympics. Donkey Kong debuted in 1982 and that would probably have been too early to feature it on the show in time and 1986 would have been a little late for Donkey Kong.
That said, 1982 is definitely a possibility. Or even a different year if they decided to do an Olympics episode in an off-year. Unfortunately, the website regarding the episode doesn't say.

Edit: Thanks to rrconkle@lemmy.zip for getting the year right!

Matchlock muskets were first introduced into Tibet during the 16th or 17th century, probably via China and India...
...matchlocks continued to be used regularly well into the 20th century...
...The third broad category of Tibetan firearms, to which this example belongs, comprises muskets with varying degrees of decoration, but fully functional and intended for secular use.
Decorated muskets of this type were carried by individuals taking part in festivals, on ceremonial occasions, or by the guards of persons of rank...

Flintlock hand mortars were use for signaling, launching fireworks, and hurling grenades.
They would be operated by two men. One who would insert a lit grenade then duck. The first man ducking would signal to the second man, the shooter, the mortar was ready to fire.
In the event of the mortar not firing when a lit grenade was inserted the operator would throw the device and reel it in by an attached strap.

This Sharps rifle bears no maker’s mark; it was made especially for John Brown. Brown carried this weapon on his Kansas campaign in 1856 and later presented it to Charles Blair of Collinsville, Connecticut. In 1857, Brown contracted Blair to forge pikes for the clandestine slave insurrection he was planning for Harpers Ferry.

It’s generally the lack of parallel institutions run by workers which sabotage such attempts. Revolutions are generally not powerful enough to do anything but take out the current power; this pretty invariably means the second-most powerful group takes over the role of the overthrown power, or the near-seconds squabble amongst themselves over it. Since dictatorships and other authoritarian regimes tend to systemically crush every alternate power base they can get away with crushing, that generally leaves only those they cannot crush - most often religion in societies which have not experienced a deep secularization, the military, and economic powers in just about every society (in the SovUnion at the end of its life, for example, this was the bureaucracy; whereas we are more familiar with it being capitalists and other private economic actors). So ‘theocracy’, ‘junta’, or ‘something amenable to the economic elite’ are most often the results.
A libertarian socialist society will emerge when low-hierarchy institutions have considerable support and deeply established roots during a time of upheaval - such as Rojava taking advantage of pre-existing Kurdish revolutionary institutions which were largely socialist or socialist-sympathetic to lay the foundation of the autonomous administration, once both the Syrian government and Islamist forces had exhausted themselves in the area.
Building parallel institutions now sets up the stage for tomorrow's victories.
Oh wow who could have fucking predicted
Rebuilding comms is the hard part. Building a userbase so posts aren't being shouted into the void. It takes months of activity.
