Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 2)
genuinely it pisses me off when they go on and on about how awful life is in the US, yes lots of people have severe problems and I'm not unempathetic toward that, yes there are major societal issues that are even leading up to a crisis (housing costs), but everyone is STILL happy enough with whatever life they're eking out that you're not going to see those mass revolutionary protests you dream about

everyone can still afford a smartphone and a switch and a netflix subscription, and the entertainment you get from those alone far exceeds whatever was available even 30 years ago

only people at the absolute end of their rope pick up a rifle and start shooting random people, and every time that happens everybody's like "whoa whoa whoa, not like that, we don't want to see that," well ok, do you want your revolution or not? that's what you have to do, nepenthe

I'm always struck by the dude repeating "burn the witch" like a fucking soundboard because you know he thinks when he says that specific phrase he sounds exactly like some character in his favorite anime, and he's so proud of himself for being able to match that exact intonation and desperately wants recognition for doing such a perfect impression

It's a fucking joke. But pointing out the pro Trump equivocation of some staff members gets you banned. Stupidity is one thing, malicious equivalence is a weapon of fascism and some people are just so eager to be weaponized.

We sleep in the beds we make, though. To be honest, I valued my membership on a video game forum more than I did speaking out against people who were desperate to reelect Trump. I've made my own bed, valued my membership on a videogame forum more than things that actually matter.

A pizza created by a Greek born Canadian, inspired by Chinese food*, that is most popular in Australia. Only connection to Hawaii was that he made use of tinned pineapple from Hawaiian Pineapple Company.

Meanwhile so-called "progressives" constantly complain about white people ruining "ethnic" food, demanding they stay traditional and pure.

people freaking out over the possibility of trump invading canada, colombia, mexico, greenland, all feel like people who fell for his dumbest most obvious distractions

spend all your waking moments screeching about that on social media while not noticing whatever it is he's actually doing that he wants to hide

he hopes that each of them becomes the cause de jure for some percentage of people so they become tunnel visioned on that dumb bullshit he has no intention of ever following through on

Trump isn't hiding shit. He literally says the thing he's doing or wants to do out loud. These aren't distractions. They're ambitions. Last week Trump's arse lickers would have denied he was planning to kidnap another country's leader. This week they're denying he'd invade Greenland.

I agree reeetards are way over the line but Trump is pretty much an open book on his intentions and doesn't give a fuck.

Intentions don’t mean a lot when the dude can change his opinions on a drop of a hat. Yeshrug 

Some of his cronies are probably pushing internally for the Greenland shit for god knows what reason and you have faggots (sorry for my French, dude deserves it and more) like Stephen Miller living of pure spite and sycophancy.

“Yeah Mr Trump, I can totally take care of Venezuela and reactivate their Oil industry for the U.S. benefit.” Awesome 

Is not distractions but are also not well thought stuff. Is just Trump taking any chance to look like a strongman while pussyfooting every thing else. 

The thing I agree with the Canadians is that is pathetic  how powerless the GOP congress and senate are, they look like Mexican politicians sucking their party dry. Trumps

Or for a better example:

The GOP congress being cowards against Trump looks a lot like BDubs getting cucked by Nepenthe.

It's just common sense to avoid sources like that.

But alarmingly, it seems as more and more US media outlets are becoming complicit in either hand waving/ignoring the severity of ongoing actions(it isn't new, as they have done it before, but the level of it has increased significantly) by the current(and possibly future) administration, or can be considered propaganda for them.

Sorry for the fourth consecutive post, but I don’t want to pass this one out:

Thread closed because BDubs got the feels (and people started to shit on the Gaza issue).

BDubs wrote:Ok, this thread is totally detailed and is being locked. Somehow, instead of this thread being about Trump wanting to do naked imperialism, everyone managed to make it about themselves and their old grudges. Attacking each other, as if any of you have any blame in any of this, might make you feel good in the moment, but does absolutely nothing to make anything better and actually makes everything here worse.

All any of you are doing is picking stupid fights to make yourselves feel like you're doing something when all you are doing is typing on a keyboard.

Seriously, you have all known each other for years, show each other a modicum of respect instead of whatever the hell all this is.

Demanding people to respect each other when you don’t show any and while you enable scum. Fuck you. GAF's camaraderie died before ERA was funded, you are clinging to something that never existed and you made sure of never let it materialize in the forum. 

Is worth banning one of the few sane political posters to protect the feelings of clique traitors like BabyDontHurtMe and racists like Nepenthe? Is worth letting Detective. spam the forum with obvious far left propaganda (“look what Owen Jones just posted” Awesome ) because there is no one else willing to discuss politics? Tankie ERA is ready to defend Maduro ( lol ) with posting videos from nobodies that shit on opposition leaders. Where the fuck you think you are?
