pointing out the obvious

@GernBla29090939 @Marshmutt452 @JIM_THE_BOSS_ @NolteNC The southern conservatives realized that they couldn't control the democratic party, so they flocked into the GOP instead and effectively southernized that party.

@ManBanality @Marshmutt452 @JIM_THE_BOSS_ @NolteNC Republicans supported civil rights at a higher percentage than Democrats.

Last week, my pretty wife and I rewatched Ken Burns’ Civil War for the fifth or sixth time. What a spectacular accomplishment. It really is a shame that Burns devolved into a woke, uptight lesbian.

@Heresiarch @gabeisageko @posta_octavian It gets under your skin because you know it's true and effectively discrediting.

@gabeisageko @posta_octavian

Opposing gay marriage was/is one of the biggest conservative Ls ever. Legalising it has: - raised the prestige of monogamous long-term marriages among gay men - made being gay less of a clandestine secret culture - integrated gay men as productive members of society with many positive effects So everything conservatives *should* want came from its legalisation, despite it having been something they opposed.

@Marshmutt452 @JIM_THE_BOSS_ @NolteNC The conservative rural voters went from voting democrat to voting republican largely in response to civil rights. I don't see how this is complicated.

@JIM_THE_BOSS_ @NolteNC I wonder how that went down? Dems approach Republicans at the Pizza Hut and say, i know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. Let's trade places so I can be noble, and now you'll be the racists?

@JIM_THE_BOSS_ @NolteNC The parties did switch.

@NolteNC Yeah, I listened to his Joe Rogan interview, he's a real "The parties switched"moron.

@LinneaLueken Also, it's funny to see a cretinous commie baiting bitch like you complain about name calling.

This is the kind of thing that helped to tank the popularity of the climate movement, by the way. Not just Trump steamrolling them. Calling scientists like Pielke "climate deniers" (he most definitely is not) obliterates your credibility.

@LinneaLueken He is though. No one cares if it makes you uncomfortable to be associated with crackpots and morons, but that's the truth. This extreme lukewarmerism is just the last credible stage of denialism.

@northcircular @SSTUTTERFLY @oligarch452 @C0untryDick @com_langer The USSR was slipping into famine. The whole Soviet push following Stalingrad was enabled by American supplies.

@SSTUTTERFLY @oligarch452 @C0untryDick @ManBanality @com_langer The US barely got its dick wet in WW2, comparatively. The Soviets would have savaged them.

its very darkly amusing whenever libs glaze operation unthinkable like, ok, you do realize it wouldve ended with millions more dead and soviet tanks in lisbon

@RepMarx1890 Stalin could have easily avoided it if he had accepted American aid. So it's still on him, partially.

The 1946 FAMINE WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF WAR DEVASTATION YOU FUCKING HITLERITE PIG

@boriquagato Cynicism like this is low iq

call me "mr cynical paws" but when i read this, all i can think is: "which one of your constituents is a bath mat company any how much did they donate?"

If the Sun caused global warming, the warming would occur in the daytime. However, measurements show nighttime lows warming faster than daytime highs. In 1896, Arrhenius predicted that adding CO2 to the air would do exactly this. Climate science deniers see the Sun at night??!

@lefineder Probably for the same reason the Qing struggled against the Japanese. The Roman state was corrupt. Agency costs meant that the roman state got less bang for the buck compared to their Germanic advesaries.

There are some who take a highly economic view of Roman power and say that during the decline of the Western Roman Empire, the empire was doomed to fall after the loss of 'such-and-such' valuable territory at some date (usually said to be when North Africa was lost to the Vandals around 430 AD). But even in 450 AD the Western Empire ruled over far more territory than it did 670 years earlier, before Rome leveraged the manpower of Italy to become hegemon over the entire Mediterranean world. And at that time much of the Mediterranean was not ruled by a powerful ally in the form of the Eastern Empire, but by overwhelming opponents—the Carthaginian and Hellenistic empires—which were far superior in their capabilities to wield and mobilize armies and resources compared to the insipid barbarian kingdoms. So why could Rome not retake its territories and do in the 450s what it had already accomplished using fewer resources against far tougher opponents in 220 BC? Not only was this not accomplished, but in the end they could not even defend themselves against the Ostrogoths and even lost Italy. Something was just wrong; they didn't have it in them.

@maro1554 @T_90_M_2024 Unfortunately,there were a lot of Ukrainians.

@T_90_M_2024 He killed 500 ruZZians ...no 525 ...545 ...550 ...705 .....725 lmao even local commenting redditors have no idea what they are talking about and just pull these numbers out of their ass just like Simo Banana did during his interview

Simo before and after meeting the Soviet sniper's exploding bullet

@T_90_M_2024 @soulisqueezed The soviets were busy dying like flies.

@soulisqueezed No credible primary Soviet source confirm official bounties on Simo Häyhä's head. The story got popular in Western press tho. I doubt the Soviets even knew who Simo Hayha was for most of the three months he served before being facefucked by a Mosin

@Insane_Econ Very toppish gay humor

On Albert Einstein: "He is ‘a naughty boy’, a naughty Jew-boy, covered with ink, pulling a long nose as the world kicks his bottom; a sweet imp, pure and giggling. It is obvious that literally he has had his bottom many times kicked." -John M. Keynes

@rchrisleigh @GeoffreyLean @MatthewWielicki The climate isn't always changing. Noticable changes within human lifetime is alarming.

@GeoffreyLean It truly isn't. Science indicates that Thwaites isn’t 'about to drown the planet.' The shelf breakup risk is real, but the 3.3m sea-level figure is a CENTURIES-LONG, worst-case scenario — definitely NOT an overnight domino collapse. No panic needed! (📷: @MatthewWielicki)

This is truly scary. The breakup of Antarctica’s Thwaites glacier would raise levels by over three meters and inundate coastal cities worldwide. And yet we continue to slow efforts to combat global warming. newscientist.com/article/252682…

@SethDillon @CubsKatie nazi shit

@CubsKatie And even that falls well short of the claim that you want them murdered.

I don't want trans people to be murdered. I just want them to stop murdering others and to leave kids alone. Why is that too much to ask?

@RichardHanania "but it is hard to avoid the conclusion that left-wing rhetoric about democracy destruction helped make such actions conceivable." Trump tried to carry out an actual coup and pardoned all of his collaborators. The issue is not left wing exaggeration, it's right wing actions.

Tyler Cowen: “In retrospect, wokeism, for all its problems, was a relatively harmless way of distracting activists and keeping them busy with wars over words—a less-bad allocation of social energies than what we are now seeing.” Pronouns are less harmful than socialism.

@HistoryBoomer The real tragedy of slavery was the fuss that white people had to endure.

Eventually they’ll be arguing that it was white people who were oppressed during segregation.

@texanconstitut1 @DeanBaker13 Mike Pence refused to collaborate, which is why the MAGA mob was calling for his hanging.

@ManBanality @DeanBaker13 That never happened. Fake electors? Who?
