Disney removes your legal right to dislike things

Ugh.

There’s this really annoying trend on the YouTube HEMA-type channels where they give unarmored and unshielded amateur college students swords and spears to “test” swords and spears and then crown the spear best weapon, no notes, no context.

I always find it fascinating the kind of things people will say because they saw a YouTube video once while ignoring all the actual historical context, like the Romans building their empire by fighting spear phalanxes with sword (and javelin) based legions.

That’s called thinking. You can do it with a spear too.

Color doesn’t change the flavor, dummy.

Wow, so you want humanity itself to die, choking on its own hubris instead of being purged in the Holy Fire of Atom?

A total thermonuclear exchange can’t even kill humanity itself anymore, and honestly might save it.

Let’s do this thing.

Also rust protection. Northern cars just having the floor fall out is less of a thing.

Ooh boy, not racist.

Ooh, boy, racist.

Easy moment of confusion tbh.

I think ending chattel slavery in America gets you significant based bonus points, as does actually listening to your socialist advisors and fighting fascism, which is something that stopped happening in America after him, and certainly doesn’t sound like something a fascist would do, now does it?

Chaucer, Heywood, Shakespeare…

Yeah, all of the Rainbow Six plotlines are about people conservatives hate.

Good is relative. Finnegan’s Wake is a masterpiece, and it’s also deliberately obscure to the point you either need an education matching Joyce’s or a reading companion.

Is that good?

Is it bad if it is not approachable? Is it good if it is?

Red Storm Rising is one of the best modern military fictions according to a lot of fans of the genre, but that’s doesn’t mean you have to like it. I’ve got some straight up gunporn series I read when I’m in a mood for reading about automatic shotguns firing explosive shells into vampires, but I wouldn’t call them good at anything but that and objectifying women.

You should maybe consider the concept of internalized racism and why this is so important to you.

That said, race is a social construct so put whatever the hell you feel like on government forms just to fuck with them.

This is simply untrue. Lincoln was based AF.

And, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

FDR was almost SocDem. Grading on a curve for segregation, but that’s not too bad considering what the German and Greek SocDems wanted to do at the time!

See? That’s two whole presidents.

What has Mother Earth ever done for us?

Finally, the Step Too Far.

This dude hasn’t read The Republic.

Of course, he’s right. He doesn’t have to.

Lemme know how that works out for an engineering degree taught in Deutsch
