It seemed like Iranians were willing to stop it themselves for but a brief moment, but the moment is over. Same with Russia and China. If they won’t fight it internally, then we have to step in ourselves, for not only our own wellbeing but the people who come after us.

Yeah, they stole an oil tanker in January.

I guess Houthi’s don’t count as pirates?

I assure you I do and would have then opposed the CIA, KGB, MSS, etc.

I very clearly mentioned the 1925-1979 social progress, but even during that time it was a centralized autocratic power under the singular rule of the Shah, and then it was simultaneously invaded by the UK and the USSR in 1941 before the 1953 coup turned the tides in the USA’s favor until the 1979 revolution turned it back the other way towards the CCP’s favor.

It’s great to oppose authoritarianism, but it’s that disgusting bootlicking you people do where you defend some authoritarianism while condemning others that really pisses me off.

Among the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is best.

Iran has been an autocracy since like 678 BC, although between 1925 and 1979 they had some social progress then immediately backpedalled. There’s no more corrupt than that. You’re probably thinking they might magically align more with the Blue Fascism than the Red Fascism of their Chinese sponsors if they had enough money, but I think that’s a foolish notion.

NGL I would rather the IRGC burns and takes a million people with them than them get paid for passage through the strait. The buck has to stop somewhere, we can’t allow evil to take root like this.

Either Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory is building Big a memorial or theres an X-rated studio filming a peter pan spoof.

I’ll never, ever, have any sort of account on Windows 11. I would never have a workstation of my own dedicated to Windows 11. No cap, I would walk out on a job if that is what the job involved.

The phrase is supposed to go “I had you pegged for” and I suppose the logical misinterpretation would then be “stop telling people!”

I don’t have this problem at all.

When people talk about “the media” they generally talk about the news broadcasts and talkshows which are extremely varied in opinions from John Oliver to Craig Melvin to Tucker Carlson. You even get some of them praising Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, or anti-democracy advocates, such as Tucker Carlson.

Mergers and monopolies are a big issue, but to imply the CIA is running Fox News is pretty ludicrous. If anything it wouldn’t surprise me if the Murdoch family had a 10 point plan on toppling the US Government.

Well I declare it’s double illegal to pray for his recovery.

Right, sorry, mb. In that case I think their anti-journalism take is pretty wacky.

USA mass surveillance isn’t a conspiracy theory because they’ve been pretty open about it.

NSA warrantless surveillance was a huge topic in the 2000s and even involved a lot of litigation.

Size doesn’t always equal better. Awhile back it was discovered that mantis shrimp, despite having many more types of receptors in their eyes than humans, completely lack color interpolation and therefor can only see about 12 colors and shades total instead of the broad range that humans see.

This one is actually true, introducing conspiracy theories is a proven tactic to water down actual discourse on subjects like the Epstein files, data collection, crop-dusting, or Israeli committing genocide.

No, it makes sense, just have different responses for navigating than you do for hunting. Trees don’t move and lions and bears aren’t out there trying to maul them.

Okay, some bears do, but thats besides the point.

I’m sorry that this silly T-Rex comic doesn’t align with your equally made up dino facts.
