They are really something else
Right now the US is a bigger threat to the world than Russia.
Let’s also not forget who helped create modern capitalist Russia in the first place.
Right now the US is a bigger threat to the world than Russia.
as bad as tzarist russia was, this was true even then. tzarist russia didnt have racialized chattel slavery AFAIK, and their conquest of the far east was much less destructive to the indigenous people living there. destructive, but not armageddon twice and another helping on sunday destructive.
the US is a champion at this, is what i’m saying, in the league of the big european colonial powers, while everyone else is just trying to get into the premier league.
Fun fact (horrible but unsurprising fact, actually): as part of their quasi-feudal colonialism they enslaved a bunch of indigenous people in the Pribilof islands as serfs, and then sold those islands to the US who kept the local people enslaved as serfs into the 1950s. My original bookmark for this is dead, but I found it on archive.org.
but yeah, russia didnt have US style chattel slavery partly because they had serfs and the way that worked in tzarist russia, it was slavery with extra steps. so they didnt need it. IIRC one of the tzars ended it officially, but i expect it continued informally for quite a while. probably until lenin.
AAAAAAAAA
There’s anecdote that during the reign of Catherine the Great administration legitly forgot some of the peoples in Russia even existed, the example was that Chukchas delegation arrived at Petersburg and great consternation ensued who those people even are.
this artstyle seemed familiar, then i realized this is the same dude who drew this thing
cw fatphobia, musk, all-around cognitohazard
i’m certain this one will age well too
all-around cognitohazard
Well fuck this did killed at least few neurons on sight.
elon did to the us government what he did to twitter. the epstein files proved that
Even the chuds now are getting down with the lib hysterics of “zomg Putin will invade Europe any day now!” all because Trump is saying so. It’s silly because this was one of the few things they were right on and now for some reason pivoted.
for some reason
It’s called material interest
That’s the trick to US politics, it doesn’t actually matter what position you take so long as its the opposite of whatever opponent is saying. It’s most apparent when something new comes onto the stage, and nobody is quite sure how it’s gonna be metabolized. When COVID very first seemed like a real concern, Democrats weren’t sure if they were for travel restrictions on China for health reasons or against them because it fostered anti-Asian sentiment. They understood how their base would respond to these framing, but they weren’t sure which was going to take popular headwinds, so for a short while you got a little of both.
The dog has to choose to be wagged. It’s not manufacturing consent, its the public buying into a rational that lets you do whatever it is you were already gonna do.
Honestly I’m curious about how Europe will react when America starts colonizing them.
The US is not ready for our “bend over and take it” strategy
I feel like they’ll just make a big stink about it, then ask for some help getting rid of all their brown people.
There are over 40 american military bases in Europe that house around 90,000 staff. Europe is already colonized.
That’s more like vassalisation than outright colonization. Colonization would be Europe getting a taste of what they did to the rest of the world for centuries.
Conservatives out here acting like this is some principled position of theirs and not something they’re adopting solely because Greenland is the cat toy that currently has Trump’s attention.
Their view is that the Republican is always right, and they work backwards to find evidence to support that conclusion. If said evidence doesn’t exist, make it up.
This greenland stuff might actually be the dumbest occurrence in world history over the past 100+ years.
It might actually contend for dumbest ever if it sparks WWIII
if it did spark WW3 then yeah i think it would be the dumbest by a long shot
oh god these people are just not living in the same reality i am huh
I have already depicted myself as the heroic sisyphus and you as the big boulder
turns out you can just say shit! fuck it, invent reality!!! fuck does greenland have to do with RRRRRRUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ??? ionfuckingkno, but it does now! outta the way euro we need your shit, why? we just need it
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do”
-Karl Rove, 2004
He’s not dead yet so it’s still technically fed posting to describe what I’d like to do to him.
Wait wait wait so Trump IS or IS NOT Putins puppet? I can’t keep the talking points straight anymore
From what I’ve seen, it’s liberals that do the “Trump=Putin puppet” takes. Chuds are either “Putin bad”, or have no opinion on him.
This is a chud comic.
Some chuds like him because he’s socially reactionary but mostly out of defiance of libs melting down about russiagate
Look, it was inevitable that the Ben Garrison or Scott Adams or BRONCO or Dry Bones style of political cartoons would have to die out eventually. Trump isn’t even shown here as a based Chad with rippling muscles with every tiny object in the comic labelled.
We knew it was going to happen sooner rather than later. These first gen MAGA artists would eventually die from horse dewormer overdose or chronic constipation from a carnivore diet or accidentally falling off their balcony because they smelled something delicious and thought they would float through the air like a cartoon or going fishing in a hurricane because the NOAA are deep state CCP spies or something equally stupid
But these Ctrl+Alt+Del-but-worse comics they’re doing? Fucking dogshit. A loss.jpg edit has twice as much integrity and 10x as much artistic value.
russia (or name any country in the world) is exponentially better to have as an enemy than the us empire, just saying.
It’s better to have any of them as an enemy, than the US as a friend.

Let go donald, let it go, it’s fine, you are not sisyphus, you don’t have to push it, let the boulder roll
The road from Russia to Europe leads through Greenland. I am good at geography and very intelligent.
turns out we’re playing risk:
Oh shit, he wants the continent bonus!
i do love that game tho
: You are all scum. You are not racist enough, you are not elitist enough and you treat poor porky like garbage. Be more like me, a country with decaying infrastructure, some of the worst income inequality on the planet, and a populace I treat like cattle. I want 73% of my country’s people to either be genocided or become second-class citizens for the vanity of the remaining 27%. Now, let me lecture you dumb worthless cucks.”Some friend you got there Europe.
EDIT: realizing there’s a fine line between edginess and being legit callous
not racist enough
not elitist enough
treat poor porky like garbage.
None of these are true of Europeans, BTW.
Oh, to the American twitter unintelligentsia it is most certainly true.
