If you’re the attacker here, instead of trying to force through the button mash QTE-esque thing, what you want to do is make a forceful cut parallel to the guy’s body and try to cut their hands and wrists, then go for another plunge. Ideally in a different place, but even if it’s the same place, now they’re trying to defend against you with injured hand(s).

Conservatives see the current liberal democratic world order and think it’s a degenerate failure of civilization. Many reasons for this but it can be summed up as “racism and culture war bullshit.”

They will literally side with Russia to destroy it if they are given an opportunity.

Edit: It is my uneducated prediction that we will provide to Russia: military intelligence within the next few months, raw materials and/or dual-use tech in Q1-Q2 2027, and major weapons systems by the end of 2027.

You could probably teach a full semester college course on the crimes the Trump admin committed in just the first three months in office.

All this “whatabout” gesticulating does is remind people that the rule of law in this country is dead. Maybe with enough reminding we’ll do something about it.

If that debt collapses uninsured that means that anyone who holds an IRA, 401k, or market ETF is a major, catastrophic bagholder. Not something I would cheer on.

It’s an obsession with the lost-cause myth of SA and Zimbabwe among the “”“thinkers”“” of white supremacy that these countries were prosperous and even equitable as racist colonial states but went to shit when “they” took power. The thesis statement being that Africa can only be successful if whites run things.

The other comment is also correct in that they also probably just want more racist whites who may be willing to carry a gun for the cause. White farmers holding off the “hordes” with guns is a common trope in that myth.

He’ll sooner drop the whole thing because he can’t be fucked to show up for anything like this. He’s accustomed to his lawyers taking care of everything and only having to sign something here and there.

More and more I’m coming to the opinion that national intelligence services of all countries should be completely dismantled and banned in a better world order. Having one should be seen in the same light as having a chemical weapons program.

Their entire purpose is at best to subvert international law for cynical gain, and more realistically they are an apparatus of state terrorism. Any supposed positive could be performed by regular law enforcement or Interpol.

Because public transit is for poor people/minorities, and if they used it they’d be around a bunch of poor people/minorities.

“Y’all doing it right”

Demonstrating without action is what they want everyone in the opposition to do…all the way to the cattle cars.

I’m not even confident it would kick off a civil war, because that requires an actual opposition with militant capacity and intent. More like it would fast track the fascist one party takeover under the “pressure” of a “radical leftist insurgency.”

Nobody talks about the “German Civil War” before the Nazis secured power, even though there were street brawls and assassinations associated with the before years.

If one of these “agents” gets the same treatment you can bet the farm they’ll be crying about “a loving father taken from their family too soon by leftist terrorists” for weeks nonstop. And the media will be complicit in dispersing the sentiment.

The regrettable conclusion I’ve come to is that Germany’s reconstruction was more or less successful in part due to the fact that ~12 million Germans were killed during the war, if memory serves. Surely a lot of innocent collateral…but also probably a lot of Nazi slime. That’s a lot of people you don’t need to worry about rehabilitating, or worry about them firebombing occupation forces, or sieg-heiling Holocaust survivors, or creating a lost cause myth to whitewash their crimes, or generally trying to gin up Round 2.

This apparently happens quite a bit in regular law enforcement if dashcam channels are anything to go by. It’s gotta be on the bingo board somewhere alongside “STOP RESISTING” and “PIT maneuver into oncoming traffic.”
