Boomer: "uphill both ways in the snow, kids and their avocado toast and Starbucks" Gen X: "FERAL! DRINKING OUTTA GARDEN HOSES!" Millennials: "We're going to fucking kill you all and burn the stock market to the ground." Zoomers: "Skibidi toilet, Heil Hitler"

We are all my alt accounts on this blessed day.

Sad faggots are crying about a UFC event on the White House lawn when we literally used to beat the shit out of people with canes in the Senate chamber.

What are they trying to hide from you anon?

The kind of wisdom you receive when your heart is pure and you've gotten all the seed oil out of your chakras

Stop digging

Fucking size of that ironing board.

1SG: SFC, we had a Soldier use the open door policy today. It involves you. SFC: Ok, 1SG. 1SG: Did you tell PV2 Snuffy to STFU and get back to work. SFC: Absolutely. 1SG: Reason being? SFC: Because I didn't want PV2 Snuffy to continue speaking and I wanted her to get back to work. 1SG: I understand but what caused you to say that? SFC: Well, after I put out what needed to be done for the day, PV2 Snuffy was being told what to do and kept asking her NCO, "why?" So after the third "why" | calmly told PV2 Snuffy to STFU, and do what the fuck she's told. Then after she made the sad face, I told her to get the fuck back to work. 1SG: You can't just curse at Soldiers like that. SFC: Why, 1SG? 1SG: Because you just can't anymore, SFC. SFC: But why, 1SG? 1SG: Because these Soldiers are too sensitive and they complain about everything. SFC: Ok but why, 1SG? 1SG: Because I goddamn fucking said so! Aww, shit. Motherfuck... SFC: I'd like to use the Commander's open door policy, 1SG. 1SG: GTFO of my office. SFC: Why? 1SG: I fucking h8 you.

Izzat olympics.

Look man, I’m a lot of things. But squeamish about killing brown people isn’t one of them.

Not American, but I am a GWOT kid. Personally, I would have rather seen a reflection pool. The size of the middle east. Where the middle east once was.

Vandalizing this thing would honor GWOT vets more than building it.

The message of a protest is "we don't like this". The message of a riot is "we don't like this, and we're able to do something about it". People who unconditionally call for peace and calm, regardless of the provocation, don't fundamentally understand how politics works in the real world. They do understand that the purpose of politics is to provide an alternative to violence, but that's as far as their understanding goes. They don't think through the implications, usually because they are quite comfortable with things as they are. If politics is an alternative to violence, then politics is a proxy for violence. And that means you have to dole out power in proportion to capacity for violence. Or someone's going to figure out they can do better by flipping the table. Monarchy wasn't replaced by democracy because of fine-sounding philosophical ideals and eloquent documents declaring this or that. Democracy happened because if you added rifling to the flintlock firearm, suddenly a individual farmer with a tube was the pinnacle of military technology, and now you had to keep all the farmers with tubes happy by giving them political power. (Ancient Greek democracy had a similar relationship with the hoplite warrior.) When political systems work well, for a while, the violence they represent becomes further and further from people's minds, and those who can't effectively commit or direct violence worm their way into power, and begin to take it away from those who can. And they'll defend their position by saying that violence is unthinkable, barbaric, always bad, must be disavowed at all costs, etc. This isn't some sort of high-minded principle on their part. It simply means one of two things. Either "the status quo works for me, so I don't want you to upset it", or "I suck at violence, and I don't want to have to fight". They want young men demoralized, so that their artificial meritocracy of spreadsheets, or their non-meritocracy of patronage networks, can be protected from the natural meritocracy of conflict. This means that riots aren't actually for achieving any specific material aim. They are for reminding the comfortable that judges and bureaucrats and policemen have home addresses and families. And that violence is always on the table. A protest would only send the message that the Irish don't want to be ethnically cleansed. But the bureaucrats and judges and lawyers already know that. They just don't care. A riot reminds them that they have to care, because the Irish have a long tradition of doing something about it.

Fire the entire design team and anyone else that thought this abomination was a good idea.

More specifically, Ulster-Scots identity. Our predispositions toward ruralism, distrust in government, rugged individualism, and will to fight are a genetic inheritance forged on the Anglo-Scottish border and in Northern Ireland. m.youtube.com/watch?v=g-UrV_…
