  1. @Descendant can you specifically outline what he said was so offensive?
  2. Goddamn, Andor really was cooking. The Ghorman Senator had some incredible lines
  3. Lulz you being a hypocritical liar doesn't victimize me, but I hope you enjoy your State Capitalism. You sure seemed to hate it recently, just trying to understand why it's different now.
  4. Oh no, don't report me to your komissar and get me fired from my job! Lotta that going round these days.
  5. Not an onion headline... https://www.avclub.com/israel-defunding-ophir-awards-the-sea-palestine Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar is threatening to pull funding from the Ophir Awards, Israel’s version of the Oscars, after a film critiquing Israel won the top prize. The Sea, helmed by Israeli director Shai Carmeli-Pollak and Palestinian producer Bahaer Agbarian, tells the story of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy living in the West Bank on his way to visit the sea for the first time. His journey is halted when Israeli authorities deny him entry at a checkpoint, per Deadline‘s description. “Determined to fulfil his dream, he sneaks into Israel and embarks on a dangerous journey to the coast, dodging checkpoint, military and police,” it continues. “There is no greater slap in the face of Israeli citizens than the embarrassing and detached annual Ophir Awards ceremony,” Zohar, a member of Israel’s conservative party, said in a statement calling the win “disgraceful,” as reported by Israeli media (via Deadline). “Starting with the 2026 budget, this pathetic ceremony will no longer be funded by taxpayers’ money. Under my watch, Israeli citizens will not pay from their pockets for a ceremony that spits in the faces of our heroic soldiers.”
  6. It's nice when Dear Leader takes a stake and chooses winners and losers, right? Although I could have sworn you were against that idea just recently
  7. I got the quote from the news article (I did paraphrase the snippet from the article, to be fully transparent) https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/17/charlie-kirk-jimmy-kimmel-abc-disney.html But strangely, not many of the articles even have his words and just have all the reaction from the Administration and God Emporer Here's the monologue it's from (while it's still up on YouTube I guess?) Really, nothing that justifies the cohesive fascist reaction that we're currently enjoying and you're doing a great job of trying to normalize
  8. Why don't you lay it all out for us then, scout. All I've seen is reaction and nobody actually taking the time to think critically. So please, lay it all out and provide the actual quote - not your framing of it and rhetoric about it
  9. It's wild how Kimmel was fired for saying that "many in MAGA land are working to capitalize on Kirk's death's" when that's literally happening. Kirk is a modern day Horst Weasel https://forward.com/news/768607/horst-wessel-charlie-kirk-nazi/ Kimmel's words were pretty tame, and MAGA is acting like he's campaigning to hang the Vice President or something like Kirk did
  10. You're right, the State and the God Emporer should be the sole arbiters of truth, given his sterling record of faithfulness and fidelity. That entire broadcast station should lose its license over that speculation!!!! Goddamn, you fit reich in with the NewThink Edit: Kimmel's words were more about the administration than Kirk even, so it's extra fucking ridiculous
  11. They're acting like controlled opposition, it's infuriating
  12. Bro do you even trump derangement syndrome?
  13. energy transfer on impact is a WHOLE field of ballistics, and why there's hollowpoint and softpoint bullets - in contrast to FMJ. Hollow/soft points will hit and expand, and have a larger crosssection that allows more energy to be transferred while the projectile is passing through. FMJ's tend to stay in one shape and pass through - which is specifically why the military chose 5.56. It tumbles on impact and dumps energy that way, and doesn't violate the geneva convention. A fast-moving FMJ can pass straight through if there's not enough mass in its way - rifle overpenetration was a well-documented phenomina during WWII where Marines would need more shots than expected to put down a charging enemy. And those marines were shooting 30-06 out of a Mauser action rifle too
  14. Definitely not - we're still running through the built up inventory. The pain will start to hit juuuust in time for Christmas shopping most likely, as that's when retailers are usually juicing up their stocks for sales
  15. Goddamn, the closing line 1:48 or so: "the most valuable thing you could ever do is die" is incredibly salient with Kirk's murder
  16. It really is amazing that you're working to hard to lionize someone for """peaceful speech""" that literally organized an armed attack on our nation's capital and interrupted the peaceful transition of power. He deleted his tweet on January 9th, but he was bragging about sending EIGHTY busses into the Stop the Steal rally https://www.dailydot.com/news/charlie-kirk-delete-tweet-buses-capitol/ “Despite what the media and certain weak intellectually-compromised Constitutional scholars are telling you, Mike Pence does not have to accept the results of polluted and poisoned electors. He does not,” Kirk said. Countless Trump supporters, convinced that Pence had committed treason thanks to the rhetoric online, were heard openly calling for the vice president to be hanged during the riot. https://web.archive.org/web/20210107060012/https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1346271038011625472
  17. The grievances you choose to go to war over are indicative of how good life is for you. I'm glad your biggest concern is people's email signature lmfao
  18. Well, but bullet landed in a person who died, but I agree with you in terms of rushing past the "what happened" and going straight to "let's earn off this attack"
  19. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/slander 1 : the utterance of false charges or misrepresentations which defame and damage another's reputation 2 : a false and defamatory oral statement about a person Directly quoting Kirk is definitionally not slandering him
  20. Holy shit Pablo Torre is landing more bombshells, THIS TIME ON SILVER! sourced twitter posts in spoiler so no longcat
  21. fortunately, the director of the FBI has experience writing childrens books
  22. good lord the chuds are literally calling the shots Absolutely a great thing that these very fine people are deciding who gets higher education and who doesn't based on their lawful speech
  23. How did he have a room mate if he was living at home with his parents? I missed the explainer for that
