If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they're lying.

Evidence or GTFO.

  • Pretty sure nobody was fighting before the Germans attacked Eben emael with gliders.

    That's the wrong war. Fort Eben Emael wasn't even constructed yet, and there were no paratroopers on any side.

    Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on June 28th, 1914. On July 28th, Austria-Hungary began shelling Belgrade, in the first shots of the war. Germany occupied Luxembourg August 2nd and invaded Belgium August 4th.

    But regardless, the European powers were always going to end up fighting each other after running out of places to colonize, building up enormous militaries, and forming a bunch of secret alliances. No nation was the "good guys" in WWI, they were a bunch of imperialist colonial states jockeying for power, and sending ordinary people into awful conditions to die for no good reason.

  • Lol, what? The military was off slaughtering people en masse in multiple wars of aggression and you consider it a point of national pride that they didn't have parades (which they also did)?

  • The wordplay is clever. Somebody's big mad that people are blaming the British for something they did

    Might want to examine why people making fun of one of the most blatantly evil empires of all time offends you.

  • Do you not understand that it's a joke?

    Obviously we all know the paper is talking about the microorganism, but since the real cause of the famine wasn't the microorganism but the British, it's funny to act like the paper is insulting the British rather than talking about the microorganism.

    That's the only way I can interpret your comment in any coherent way, that the joke just went completely over your head.

  • But a growing faction of the right is drunk on power, using its current dominance to wage a culture war against its own citizens as retribution for the last number of years. “Owning the libs” is their preferred method of revenge. Instead of tackling inflation or healthcare, they are targeting millions like me who want nothing more than to live our lives freely and equally.

    She says, immediately after doing exactly that. The key words are "like me," she's perfectly fine with waging a culture war against people just trying to live their lives as long as she's not in the outgroup.

    I wonder if Ernst Röhm would have written a version of this if he'd survived.

  • Interesting, so, right now, you're helping to cause starvation and poverty, because you have money that you could donate to help stop those things, and, by your insane standards, "having potential to stop" something is the same as "helping to cause" it.

    Why do you want people to be poor? You monster.

  • This is the perfect encapsulation of liberal "morality," and why any attempt to finger-waggle or take the moral high ground by you is utterly laughable. The thing that determines whether mass murder is acceptable or not is the attitude of the murderers. Act ashamed and embarrassed and apologize while you repeatedly stab someone to death, and it's perfectly fine. But laugh manically while you're doing it, and it's somehow way worse - even though the only actual difference is aesthetics. It's literally that line from The Dark Knight about "nobody panics as long as there's a plan, even if the plan is horrible" - liberals don't actually want to stop bad things, they just want them beurocratized and sanitized. Your biggest problem with Trump seems to be just that he's rude and crass.

    If anything, aesthetically, Trump's mask off attitude is arguably preferable in that it is less defensible, more likely to turn people against him and against Israel by proxy. The Democrats are much better at propaganda, while doing the exact same thing. Suppose you're in a building with a bunch of people, as well as one person who's trying to kill you. Would you rather the assassin act calmly and like a regular person, causing everyone to ignore them while they corner you, or would you rather them scream, "I'm gonna kill you and piss on your grave!" in which case people might actually do something to stop him?

    But I'd rather not have a killer in there at all, which is how I voted. Unfortunately, society is filled with people like you.

  • Voting for anyone else helped Trump to get elected.

    No, it didn't. Trump and Harris would've gotten the exact same amount of votes if someone who didn't vote for either of them didn't exist at all. Did nonexistent people help Trump win? Because I had the same effect on Trump's chances as a nonexistent person. This is a completely absurd line of argument, it is insanity and utter nonsense.

    Libs will go to any length to deflect blame away from actual Trump voters.

  • I didn’t say that they voted for Trump. I said that they helped to elect him.

    Which is also a lie, because the only way to "help elect someone" is to vote for them or tell others to vote for them.

    Trump will never, ever, do anything to help the Palestinians. They are going to be wiped of the face of the earth and Gaza paved over to make a Trump resort. Congratulations!

    Harris would also never, ever do anything to help the Palestinians and would attempt to wipe them off the face of the earth. I'm not sure why you're congratulating me when I voted against this result and this is the same result you wanted. I should be saying it to you. The duopoly won, just like you wanted, and the bipartisan consensus of completely unrestrained genocide and extermination from the Biden admin will continue unimpeded. Congratulations!

  • Which part wouldn't have happened, the bulldozing or the casino? Because the bulldozing was already happening and whether they build a casino over the rubble compared to something else doesn't matter whatsoever.

    Huh? No, I/they voted against Harris and Trump, not for them. You seem to have gotten it backwards.

    I’m not American.

    Which is why I said "supported" and not "voted for."

  • There's a stronger kneejerk tendency of Western shitlibs to believe any bad thing they read about Muslims and then shit on them for it, because they're racists.
