Guys, I think I’ve started a banana republic.

I bought three extra bananas on accident while at the grocery store today...

Are the feds gonna start mailing me coke after they oust me from The Republic of Banana?

 

[M0NST3R]

Nah, you need to have at least 3 more bananas

Western media before election: BLM protests hit Japan and Korea! What a success!

After election: BLM fell flat in Japan.

"Most people protesting were not Japanese. Japanese people ignored us or said ウールーサーイー as they walked by."

 

[wowfucktron]

Oh right, we were exporting our racial temper tantrums overseas.

Those were all American and South American expats who were protesting in Japan. The Japanese are very homogeneous and are quite open but roundabout about how much they don’t like non Japanese.

Look at all of the photos of protestors, most were mixed race.

>koreans
>caring about non koreans
Koreans aren’t as subtle as the Japanese with their xenophobia. If you aren’t Asian you cannot enter night clubs in Korea. It’s “muh women” taken to the extreme.

There’s other examples, but I’m hesitant to list them.

Meanwhile, the stop the steal rally in Tokyo from earlier this year seemed mostly Japanese

Which makes sense, given Biden's got Xi Jinping's hand up his sphincter and all the way up to his mouth, much like Kermit the Frog

@tamerlane
>relying on other countries for support for voter fraud claims
Pathetic display, bias on full blast.

Japan has a cult of personality and worship around Trump and his brand.

The Japanese and Koreans would’ve taken anyone who wasn’t Biden due to China being an omnipresent threat over there.

Regardless, it doesn’t help your message when you have a country that fetishes the man and his family blindly parrot his message.

Democracy is bad because it’s a wildly chaotic and unstable system and is only going to get worse due the brain drain caused by the internet.

@wowfucktron

To be fair, I don't think that framing is quite accurate. We have plenty of evidence of Voter Fraud, and it's not like they're providing evidence as much as showing that there's international support and that it's not something that is contained within strictly domestic affairs.

Plus there's the fact that international relations tends to be the reason for policy changes or political action being taken in the first place, either because it hurts the appearance of the nation in the eyes of its allies or for other geopolitical factors, such as the fact the French government supported the American Revolution.

Even if it doesn't change anything, it represents an underlying distinction that other nations are intimately involved in the US and care about our integrity, and given that Japan is basically a protectorate of the US at this point, I'd say they have a better claim than most nations to being concerned about our elections

@tamerlane
The French only cared about our revolution mainly because it gave the French an avenue towards spiting the British.

The French were being locked out of The Americas by the British Navy. The French were also one of the most deadly militaries at the time. However they were already at war with the British and needed a way to divert the British’s attention so the French economy wasn’t murdered by the British Navy. It made sense to support and fan the colonial uprising.

The French mercantile class also supported it because they needed a manner of inflaming the French populace into revolution against the monarchy.


But onto the foreign concern.

The only countries that are really concerned about us are the EU bloc (protection) and the Asia bloc (protection).

But after Russia showed off how susceptible we are to foreign influence, it’s more plausible that other countries realized that our politics and big stick are for sale to the highest international bidder and therefore don’t actually need to negotiate with us.

They realized they can just spend ~400k on social media campaigns and can then get access to the full Israel experience.

Anybody got the DL on Myanmar? I understand the very basics about it.

 

[blackyawgdom]

@BestBoy Its just the semi-annual Myanmar Coup. The Myan Military basically takes over every now and then (For instance they literally wrote the current constitution that guarantees them a minimum 25% elected officials, which lets them block any changes to constitution) when they think the country isnt being run "right". Current leader is taking the blame for the Rohynga? (the muslim minority thats getting massacared/displaced/whatever, google them) and theres apparently some election irregularities.

@BestBoy From Democracy Now:

Burma’s military seized power in an early-morning coup d’état Monday, cutting internet access, canceling flights and detaining de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other top officials. Military rulers have declared a state of emergency for one year, ending a power-sharing agreement with Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy that followed elections in 2016. The coup unfolded hours before lawmakers were to take their seats in the opening of parliament, following a November election in which the military made unsubstantiated claims of fraud. Suu Kyi said in a statement the military had put Burma — which the military calls Myanmar — back under dictatorship, and urged people to protest. Suu Kyi spent years fighting against the Burmese military, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for her efforts. But in recent years she has been condemned for presiding over a campaign of violence by Burma’s military against the minority Rohingya Muslim community, which saw over 1 million Rohingya flee to neighboring Bangladesh.

So some people want to pretend that BLM is ignored in other countries? https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/bla...-194831450.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=1_04

Fox news was grasping so hard for ways to insult Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that they forgot which side they're on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVplOUj9hSA

>BLM nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

All of these are jokes. FUCKING TRUMP WAS NOMINATED FOR A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. The entire thing is a joke.

Also the AOC thing is just her trying to play the victim card in such away that does not actually justify anything she is proposing. It's her trying to gain sympathy. Power move.

 

[wowfucktron]

How do you nominate a non-figureheaded group?

Who gets the award?
The entirety of the US?
A specific subset of Americans?
Is it by racial lines (plsno) or if you were caught on CCTV (many keks)?
Regardless, Nobel Peace Prizes are the red headed step children of Nobel Prizes.

The Nobel committee gave an award to Obama just because he wasn’t Bush Jr.
As @tamerlane said, even big boy Donnie got a nomination for some reason, probably for the Nobel in Shitposting.

All awards mean jack shit, all they do is fan the egos of the self-absorbed and the overly materialistic.
