The Politics Megathread

[CyanHide]

We just talk about US politics here, right? Nobody here is willing to give me a quick run down, from their perspective, on the state of Filipino politics, right?

"both sides refuse to believe that their own side can do wrong" nonsense. the republicans doing very little conservative legislation when they are in power is somthing the the republican base despises them for. turtle-boy Mitch is hated for his 'conservative when democrats are in power' positions but his damnable state keeps voting him in for god-know-why steven king or whatever his name was makes racist comments and he loses his next election. roy moore was outed as a pedo and lost in a hard-red district

republicans are a-ok with admitting when they have people who do wrong or even when people fuck up. republicans think donald is a self-aggrandizing doofus but he also pushed the most conservative policy in like 40 years and shits on the media so he is beloved

meanwhile democrats form a 'squad' consisting almost entirely of anti-semites that believe absolute lunacy and their hailed as the future of the democrat party the only reason cuomo is being outed for sexual harassment and murdering the elderly is because he is no longer useful if trump was still president cuomo would still be useful and none of this would have happened how do i know this? remember Tara Reade? the woman who pointed to biden for sexual harassment? remember the laptop that outed biden's son for picking up bags of cash from foreign assets and even hinted biden is getting a cut? remember all those racist comments biden made and even his now vice president calling him a racist? there is no consistent lack of standard on both sides there is a double standard

If we are going to talk international politics then I would like to ask 3 questions:

1. India, what the actual fuck is with your nationalists?

2. Philippines, are you ok? I remember hearing about what was basically open warfare because of terrorists and cartels and then nothing all of the sudden.

3. Germany what is the deal with Angela Merkel, I thought she was leaving.

 

[CyanHide]

@M0NST3R if you’re referring to the Marawi siege, yeah that ended a while ago. Abu Sayyaf and other Muslim affiliated terrorist groups are still running around, but they aren’t doing so in large numbers, engaging in open warfare. Thankfully they’re still a minority.

I heard something recently happened with some Communist Guerillas at a Government funded University. I’m not entirely sure about the details, but supposedly some of them infiltrated the place as Professors and started “teaching” the people there that Communism is the way to go. When the government got wind of it, they sent some soldiers to remove them, but the students are interfering. That’s pretty much all I heard.

Celebrate Women's History Month with....a grammatically incorrect banner from Poogle?

@bigtiddyoneesan
I am convinced that Google has some random ESL/ESL immigrant making these things.
There is just no way that someone from the US who learned English as their first language looks at these things and says "OK, yep, run it."

@cyanhide
On one hand: Fuck commies.
On the other hand: Duterte.
I am conflicted.

 

[M0NST3R]

@CyanHide Yeah that university thing I remember hearing about. I also remember media immediately taking a stance against Duerte.

@wowfucktron

I am convinced that Google has some random ESL/ESL immigrant making these things.

And that's how it should be. The English language is just another form of oppression created by the white man, after all.

 

[Tamerlane]

What even is the argument for Women's history month? Why doesn't anyone care about November being men's history month?

What the fuck is the purpose of making entire months like Black History Month or Pride Month?

It all seems like empty platitudes to me in order to make people feel like random characteristics make them praise worthy, tbh.

 

[wowfucktron]

@tamerlane
It’s all empty platitudes designed for appeasement.

But appeasement doesn’t work because it’s never enough with anyone who feels “oppressed.”

>the point of black history month?
I don’t know about you but I prefer this over racially based excessive taxation and nonstop riots.

>the point of pride month?
Probably something related to corporations virtue signaling.

>why does women’s history month exist?
I dunno? Probably something to do with how women hated it when black people got the right to vote and women’s main argument for women’s suffrage was diluting the weight of a vote. Something along those lines.

>why does no one care about men’s month?
You realize men are only valued by society if you can make money. Even then you’re disposable.

Just wait till I bring you my people’s newest idea: Jewish History Month.

Spoiler

Blame California for this. Fucking shitlord politicians in this state wanted to remove our minority status because apparently minority status is based on skin color now.

 

[Falador]

Black history month isn't good enough these days because it's become a purity test. If you arent "fully" "Black" you dont count. Basically Haiti all over again on a cultural field.

Hey. Hey!

Commies have good music and cute girls. Can't beat that.

 

[readingsit]

@Mr_Detective

Commies have cute girls

ive seen the average sjw 'girl' and 'cute' is not how i would describe trigglypuff

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

Commies have good music and cute girls. Can't beat that.

Reminds me of this song from the good old days of ^{_{*checks date*}} 2019.

You know how about another diversion. Due to an insane over site in wild life protection in the United States (and most religions )it’s technically legal (and not immoral) to poison pigeons by feeding poisoned bird feed in a good majority of states as pidgins aren’t protected by wild life services nationally at least a couple states do have pigeon laws though. This fun fact brought to you by Tom Lehrer being a funny muscian.

And in my state of Washington their even qualified as pests so they have as much legal protection as rats! So I could walk out and throw some lead laced peanuts and not get into any legal trouble. In fact legally you should be thanked as your helping exterminate a pest

And I suppose if one wants to make sure one is completely legal with no gray go ask for some corn feed I guess

The passenger pigeon was once the most numerous bird in North America; it is now extinct. https://www.audubon.org/magazine/may-june-2014/why-passenger-pigeon-went-extinct

Some Americans are acting so crazy that a former top ranking official has said some surprising things. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...-to-be-a-white-male/ar-BB1e8mi1?ocid=msedgdhp

Those who say things like "China Joe" are making America's rivals rejoice.

 

[immortalartisan]

@2SpiritCherokeePrincess really? Come on you know I mean rock pigeons. I meant bloody hell did you see my last divergences they at least allowed for 3 or 4 posts just having fun before returning to serious politics. Now you’ve just made everyone depressed about people killing birds.

 

[readingsit]

i can also post vaguely political links unrelated to the topic at hand! look:

remember when the media were salivating at the thought of there being a tape of trumps saying the n-word? it didnt exist of course but here's biden accidentally saying it: https://youtu.be/xxGyxDrustU?t=739

oh yeah i also need an image unrelated to my link:

[CyanHide]

@Mr_Detective I can only agree on the good music part, the latter hasn’t been true for a while now

@wowfucktron I actually liked Duterte for his harsh anti-drug stance, but the possibility of him warming up to the CCP is concerning

 

[Alraisen]

@Halo
My stance is I'm not going to take the vaccine. But I'm always willing to listen to other opinions.

@Tamerlane
If anything only elder people should take any vaccine. Since anyone below 50 years old is practically immune to this shit disease.

 

[Halo]

@Alraisen Why?

Since anyone below 50 years old is practically immune to this shit disease.

Never mind. You're just a retard.
