That’s the thing about martyrs - nobody NEEDS to fill his shoes. They just need to claim to be “carrying on his legacy” and constantly refer back to him, and that’s good enough for a large portion of the cult.
We’ve seen this exact thing happen with a lot of cults that have gone mainstream - it happened with Mormonism, and it happened with Scientology.
Additionally, with the firepower at just the US’ disposal, we could level almost every major pop center in Russia. Waves of Tomahawks, ICBMs and bombers could do it without the US putting boots on the ground. We nearly did this with Baghdad back in 02.
Oh definitely. Dude thought “wow this is my chance to be a hero”, I’m sure.
Worse, you know it’s gonna be deployed into every sector. Better get ready to like your AI-designed Transformers toys, or your new My Little Pony lineup made possible by ChatGPT.
About 35% here in my little corner of Ohio.
There’s two things in most prisons that will get you targeted: fucking with kids and fucking with animals.
According to my news feed here in Cincinnati, there have apparently been Springfielders going to town council meetings and saying this as well (specifically, they had one clip of a dude complaining about Haitians “cutting the heads off ducks and eating them”?) Snopes says no evidence, as well.
Behind the Bastards did a great two parter on how liberal media basically let Mussolini and Hitler rise to power unchallenged because they were so busy trying to appear “fair” and “neutral” and “objective” even as journalists and editors were being executed in the streets.
To be fair, if I’m NASA, who’s had two fatal incidents with known damaged spacecraft, I’m also not sending two astronauts down on a known damaged spacecraft.
Yup. The trans community has been doing this with HRT meds for YEARS because it was either straight up illegal, or almost impossible to obtain access because of the dozens of hoops you had to jump through.
Really the only trend, from my friends and coworkers who have done wine tasting, is that once you climb above the absolute bottom tier, the field is…kinda flat until you start paying hundreds per bottle. That $14 Yellow Tail white will, without a lot of outliers, taste just as good as a white that’s $150. The more expensive one might have a more depth or complexity, but they will be fairly easily comparable overall.
No joke, I could see this. My current workplace wants daily attendance emails from us to calculate how many of us are in the office, and thus estimate productivity that day. It’s asinine.
And the other half is so caught up in appearing “unbiased” that they won’t pass anything that seems even the slightest bit politically charged.
Well There’s Your Problem did an absolutely horrifying episode about it. I recommend it.
John Wayne had to be physically restrained from beating up a Native American woman at the Academy Awards.
Yeah, it seems more the IDF is just shooting literally anything human-shaped. Aid workers, friendlies, journalists, civilians, in addition to the odd actual “guy actually shooting at us”.
The IDF didn’t kill aid workers on accident. I refuse to believe that all, or most, are accidental with the number of absolute noncombatants (journos, aid workers, etc) that have been illegally killed (killing press workers and aid workers deliberately is a war crime).
Like others have said, it’s a feature, not a bug. They’re not incompetent - they know who they’re killing AND DON’T REALLY CARE.
Ohio as well, same with Indiana.
The Behind the Bastards episodes are pretty enlightening as well.
Considering the Klan is recruiting there now…
