  • Why do you think romance books are SO HOT right now? because they are pure fantasy and lots of ladies want nothing but a fantasy romance and they are addicted to daydreaming, and they compare the real world romance to and it and angry it doesn’t ‘live up’ to the storybooks they read.

    The irony is that a bunch of boys got into incel culture because a lot of the media they consumed had women as a prize or “side effect” of being the hero or a “good guy”, but got blindsided by real life not giving them any.




  • Half of capitalism enjoyers I know complain that “communists” (anyone who complains about capitalism) are hypocrites because they “don’t apply communism to their lives” by sharing their salaries and buying iphones and super expensive clothes.

    Ask them how one can “apply communism” when they live under a society that is capitalist, where any donation or salary sharing is effectively feeding capitalism and they’ll just circle back to the initial complaint.













  • Lots of propaganda.

    Two decades of heroic effort had ended in shame.

    Heroic my ass, it was bullshit from day one and the whole world knew it.

    If American officials had known then what they know now, many of them—including me—would have argued more strongly for an earlier withdrawal.

    They wouldn’t. They knew Iraq didn’t have WMDs but invaded nonetheless. They knew Iran could block the Hormuz Strait but attacked nonetheless.

    Americans occasionally acknowledge the noble sacrifices that thousands of U.S. service members made in the conflict.

    Noble my ass.

    The United States had other ambitions in Afghanistan, as well, including a nation-building mission that aimed to establish a sustainable democracy.

    Bull-fucking-shit. A puppet regime is not a “sustainable democracy”

    [Kyle Carpenter] summed up his feelings about his service on behalf of Americans: “You are worth protecting, you are worth fighting for, you are worth time in a hospital bed and deep scars on my body.”

    The best soldiers are the ones that really believe the shit their superiors feed them, be like him, citizen!

    The cruelty of the policies is thrown into relief by the major strides in rights and opportunities that Afghan women in some parts of the country made in the decades that the Taliban were out of power.

    This was the only good thing to come out of the invasion, too bad it was just a glimpse of a better life for those women.

    Simply put, one reason the Americans did not leave Afghanistan earlier is that the U.S. military fights to win.

    [citation needed]

    It is deeply unsettling that thousands of service members who fought, were wounded, or lost friends in the war now see it as an unworthy endeavor.

    Reality crashing down on them isn’t “unsettling”

    Americans must not forget those changes of heart. They must remember what it feels like to look back at a war they once embraced and think, “If only I had known then what I know now.”

    I bet most of those didn’t change because of hindsight, but rather grew tired of it altogether.
