True (probably also another reason their god, if it exists, hates them- the historical figure of Jesus' sexuality is very much up for debate)

This one (if their god is real) isn't so hard to believe tbh. Imagine seeing a nation that every day for almost 250 years has made a mockery of your (originally pacifistic, ascetic, grassroots and accepting of the downtrodden- even sex workers, minorities like Samaritans, lepers, etc) teachings, which genocided its way across a continent, and now is genociding your homeland and your closest ethnic kin...

If the religious YanKKKees had any self-awareness, they'd probably consider their country "Babylon" or the antichrist.

Good point, I'll try to contribute later :o

But it's Her Turn! And Genocide Joe is the only one who can beat the orange menace!!

There aren't too many art communities we can subscribe to so I hope we don't defederate

Alternatively, maybe defederating might be the impetus for us creating the art spaces we want to see?

They've suffered some from burgerbrain (same and moreso for eastern Europe+east Germany etc) but the Irish are a particularly decent lot IMO. It's the rare (or rather, only) western (west Euro, Anglo) society that seems to promote a certain sense of human decency rather than Hitlerism (both "conservative" and faux-progressive strains) and supremacism/chauvinism as its identity and culture.

True. And I mean I dunk on anime sometimes here as well (while having an anime pfp)

The afterlife will be posting.

I'll take hell instead, please

the jokes about Xi save us and defense/denial of worker/minority abuse in China make us look bad, (etc etc) No different than libs defending Klanmala "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" (etc etc) Han supremacism no more acceptable than white supremacism (no shit), Dengism killed wholesome chungus communism, China surveillance state

Wew. Also no one is defending worker/minority abuse (the surveillance state in China I will defend, let's not kid ourselves socialist societies are under siege, were born under siege, etc etc) or claiming China is a utopia. And comparing support of AES to Klanmala support is straight up lib shit (and crying about Dengism is both ignoring dialectal materialism, and your western lowkey chauvinist, dogmatist opinion of AES). cringe

As for the comment about transmisogynism (while I'm not the one who mentioned it), somewhat yeah. And there's def an issue of orientalist attitudes towards anime (as someone who is Asian), there is shit but wypipo/westerners' and other cultures' shit has its own issues. "Asian (specifically Asian) cartoon bad because (insert stereotypes here)" is tired y'all

And yeah I called out people who posted their opinions, anonymously, who I don't know who they are... deal with it

How about all three at once? Most people can at least connect the dots and recognize (it's basically universal knowledge for all but the willfully ignorant bootlickers) that the US is behind the origins of both al-Qaeda and ISIS, as the ones who funded, armed, and created the conditions from which they could exist.

Anyone with a decent understanding of the region will also understand that the US (and before them, the Brits) made a policy of supporting the most extreme sect (Wahhabism) in the Arabian peninsula, and has a long history of toppling secular governments and leaders in the Islamic world (even democratically elected non-socialist ones), and they used these Islamist tendencies to counteract socialist and pan-Arab movements.

To build further though, ISIS and al-Qaeda are not so different from, say, the cartels, mafias, bratvas, triads, and other organized crime (or insurgencies)- both in how they operate (besides a particular focus on terror), and in their deeply intertwined history with the US and western alphabet agencies. They provide a service to the empire- regional destabilization, and in certain areas like Syria and Iraq, also oil- and what the west supplies in exchange, apart for financing and support for these crime warlords- is to further escalate tensions and encircle their nations to destroy legitimate governments- it is a mutually beneficial relationship, as both compliment each other greatly- they feed off of each other's destabilization.

The other dunkable part is the actual chances that a billionaire ever goes to prison outside of China

It won't be for the actual crimes they committed, that's for sure (that sort of behavior gets them applause and Nobel peace prizes). But fingers crossed, I want to believe... Hopefully the competing fascist tendencies can kill or lawfare each other off, optimistic as it may be.
