The one where Matt Berry’s character freaks out and dumps his girlfriend after finding out she’s trans, and we’re meant to be sort of on his side

My friend showed me IT crowd for the first time and I loved it, but then we got to That Episode

Just the big ones, most days. What is consciousness, why are we here, what’s the point, how does one reconcile the importance of love with an uncaring nightmare universe where almost everything must kill to survive, etc

Lol @ the handwringing libs who think this isn’t the foundations of the privileged world they live in

I get it though, I grew up in the US after 9/11 so of course I was propagandized to hell and back like every other kid. The number of times i heard adults just flat out advocate for a nuclear holocaust of the middle east… When you’re so young, and so used to being given logical-sounding reasons to cheer for the imperial boot, it’s shocking to see people who actually ARE fighting for their freedoms, and doubly shocking when you see that they don’t comport to our conditioned, pampered habit of pretending to be morally better than their opponents. They don’t need to pretend like we need to, because their opponents are the people doing genocide and not some poor dirt farmers. But lest you think I don’t have a consistent stance on this, let me break it down:

-Death sucks

-It’s bad when families are killed

-it’s good when nazis are killed, because then they can no longer kill families

-Ergo it’s fine to celebrate and depict fascist death, in the same way you would depict a firetruck hosing down a flaming building; both are depictions of the saving of life.

I’m not making an account on your instance to read and reply to anything, so know that before anyone starts going all Winston Churchill at the upsetting prospect of dead fascists.

“Hmm can’t fool me Ivan, you’re just presenting facts that prove your point and make me look foolish, aren’t you?”

The dastardly tankie strategy of knowing what you’re talking about before you start talking about it.

I like to imagine that when the Black Eyed Peas came up with the lyric “let’s get it started” as a replacement, it was like the end of a moon landing movie. The airlock door to the writing room unseals with a hiss, the band members walking out in slow motion to a cheering crowd. Moustached men in mission control high fiving, hugging each other and chainsmoking. Clusters of big vintage news cameras flash. The solemn yet hopeful horn music swells. They did it.

Like how fascists think liberals are marxists, despite liberals and marxists both knowing how dumb that is

Yes, I imagine it would be tiring if anyone actually argued that. Since it’s a ridiculous strawman though, I think you’re in the clear

This is the crux of it: where once there was some kind of definition, now it’s just a snarl word for “leftist who makes points I can’t refute.”

I’m not just a tank, I’m the entire armored division

You’re posting this photo because the video it’s taken from shows him climb up on the tank, have a conversation with the tank commander, climb down off of the tank and leave without incident.

E: literally 3rd result on YouTube, from the CBS news archives:

“That doesn’t make it any less impactful” Uhh yes it does, because the impact when this photo is shared without context typically comes from the implication that he was run over, like an American protestor might be.

“Noo this is just like them, we have to be better”

I’m not federated so I have to respond to this comment here.

It’s 2024, where did eight years of “being better” get you? Under the boot, that’s where. “Civility” in politics is such brain poison, it’s a matter of life and death, not a dinner party. I will take as much satisfaction as I want from the misfortune of my enemies, because spreading misfortune is their entire life and it’s good when they’re impeded. Fuck the big wet ex-president, I hope a titan boa squeezes 70 years of McDonald’s grease out of him like a tube of toothpaste.

That said, 34 convictions is only the first half of the punchline. The next big laugh comes in November, when red fascist beats blue fascist anyway and the big 8-year Mayan calendar at the DNC rolls over to 2016 again.

Also, not to sound self-absorbed, but when Biden loses liberals will 1000% blame the left again. I only say so because I’ve been making an effort to be more public in my predictions, on account of being right so often.

"Um akshually you have to cooperate with the fascists to stop the fascists sweaty. KPD? Rosa Luxembourg? Never heard of em "

Tell genocide Joe to give me my $600 and then walk into the sea

This is revisionist actually, we must Return To Sea

You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit

Is there anything you’re capable of absorbing?
