Now that she’s over here, she tells outlandish stories about America to overly credulous libs, such as the time she was robbed and beaten by a black woman in Chicago, and then everyone gathered around her and called her “racist nazi” for calling the police.

It’s Yeonmi Park, who fled North Korea and now makes money telling outlandish stories to overly credulous libs.

Such as that North Koreans have to pull trains from town to town, and that she saw children eating rats and rats eating children.

Is a free pdf available?

DocToPdf Disrespect was quietly banned from twitch, and then responded to allegations that he was sexting minors with “age of consent varies between states, what I did wasn’t even illegal and what even is sexting? This is just haters trying to ruin my day”

The OP meme is mocking the Taliban for their lack of money. The Taliban don’t have money because the US stole the Afghan government’s funds and imposed sanctions.

The result of this has been the worst famine in the world during the period between shortly after the withdrawal and shortly after Oct 7. OP believes that this is liberating for afghan women because they think the Taliban need money to oppress women or something.

Before the Americans left, the Afghan people lived in terror of the Taliban, Kabul and its warlords, and the Americans.

Today they live in terror of just the Taliban (OK, the Taliban and starvation).

“It is appalling that the Canadian government could attempt for no good reason to subject innocent Canadians, their family members and descendants to public scorn,” wrote Ihor Michalchyshyn, CEO and executive director of the UCC in his fundraising plea.

Those poor innocent war criminals.

For the last couple centuries, Moloch has largely been a metaphor for “the economy and profits”.

Here’s an example from 1927

Milei, Meloni, and Orban already ran by the cameraman.

What similarities are there, other than the users being exceptionally ornery?

I think he’s saying that neither were ever conservative.

It’s pretty weird to put a pamphlet mostly educating rural peasants in 50s china on the political situation and fucking Mein Kampf on the same level.

fuck all the actual people that live in Ukraine and have had their lives upended or destroyed because of the war.

They wouldn’t have had their lives upended if we weren’t doing everything in our power to prolong the war! This is the absolute worst case scenario for actual Ukrainians.

Never said we were, just said I’ve served, so don’t put words in my mouth.

So you understand making the world a worse place isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is right?

they democratically elected their leader

The one who suspended elections after he got elected on a platform of peace and failed to end the civil war?

apparently living in a prison-state worse than Russia.

How many Ukrainians living in Ukraine do you know? I’m certain it’s less than the actual Ukrainian right here telling you what the situation is.

So go fuck yourself, I don’t know why you’re defending some Russian troll.

You really don’t give a shit about actual Ukrainians beyond their willingness to bleed for the profits of the military industrial complex.

It’s not my battle

Do you think we’d be sending them weapons (and buying up their assets for pennies) if this battle wasn’t yours?

My country is supplying military aid to Ukraine via my tax dollars

They’ve also supported Israel. By that logic, you, personally are assisting them in genocide.

I am a veteran of my country’s armed services, can you say the same?

I will serve crack before I serve this country. Look at every military action in this country’s history since WWII. In none of them were we the good guys.

I also never told him to go fight

Oh fuck off. He knows more about the situation than you do. He is right there experiencing it.

Sure is brave of you to call people cowards for not fighting your battle.

Why don’t you go to Ukraine and fight?

I’ve no strong feelings on the matter, but I can understand how some would feel 10 people telling you exactly how you’re wrong can feel worse than 10 downvotes.

I avoid this by simply being correct all the time.

There’s a number of instances that don’t have downvotes. Notably, it forces each person who takes issue with something you’ve said to respond to you if nobody else has said it. Whether that’s better is up to you.

Between deserting and surrendering is sneaking across miles of territory, through the front lines, in hopes that the other side accepts your surrender and puts you in a POW camp instead of droning the guy in an enemy uniform sneaking towards their position.

We’ve seen plenty of videos of both sides droning people trying to surrender.

That’s not really how wars work in the 2020s. There’s no opportunity to surrender when you get droned in a truck miles away from the front lines or hit by a glide-bomb in your barracks hundreds of miles from the front. We saw the same thing in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
