  • All it'll take is a cop scrawling "DSA rulez" in bic pen on a bullet from an alleged leftist shooter and there you go.

  • US and Germany: Invalid, that article is only for use against Asians and Slavs, we do not recognize and will not support.

  • They're really keeping the Reichstag fire hits coming. After that suspicious as hell Charlie shooting with that really odd suspect they arrested, lots of odd omissions in the released details, now this. The adjuster who shot the healthcare CEO was the original, the genuine article. These don't even feel like copycats in the school shooter sense, they feel like cheap simulcra being made for the purposes of power to push forward the agenda. I'd totally believe a left-lib type would shoot at ICE but I don't believe this. The "anti-ICE" thing in particular in this case feels so inauthentic. The Charlie ones at least sound like some tuned in zoomer or millennial helped them with it (perhaps from TPUSA itself). But this is pure "blacks rule" tier stuff. No leftist would write that, at best a confused, angry boomer lib like the Trump assassin who tried to kill him for Ukraine /might/ write like that but they'd be mentally unstable in a clear way going back a while too I think.

  • They're getting so lazy with this trope. One guy, "the adjuster" does it for real then we get that really suspicious Kirk thing which was immediately spun and the alleged killer who doesn't quite fit and now they're going with it again?!? The cops themselves / FBI are just getting good at writing these things on bullets and presenting them to the big boss who nods approvingly.

  • We're just a dollar shy of the $20/month mark now if you don't want a service stuffed with unskippable ads which I find intolerable. They do offer 4k in their basic plans and comparable ad-free 4k plans from the Zaslav (cursed be his name, destroyer of entertainment) are already $21/month. So I'm sure we'll see further price increases soon and soon hit $25/month for most of these services ad free as Netflix is already there for their 4k ad free plan.

    I have to wonder who pulls the trigger first on no more ad-free or probably more specifically everyone gets a minimum amount of ads and you can pay between 2x - 3x the price to reduce the amount by half. For extra viciousness I'm sure some company will introduce long-term lock-in where you can only buy the ad-free or lower ads plans in chunks of 6-12 months.

    Quite glad for Jellyfin and retaining my own media collection.

  • I'm reminded of the overzealous brainwashed commie obsessively quoting Mao in that one terrible B-movie where the US builds a bridge as cover for CIA stuff and the commies find out...

    Volunteers (1985) with John Candy as the American who gets brainwashed by the Maoists into a not so sleeper agent.

  • It's still unclear to me exactly what the deal is here.

    So it -sounds- like they're only selling US operations and will retain a global app version and operations which are under the ownership and control of non-US ownership but there will be a brand new app which people have to move to which will have some version of the algorithm.

    I guess I'm curious then if the algorithm is being licensed to them or if they're buying it outright and global tiktok will rent it back and this might give CIA ghouls direct control of that to influence the global version of tiktok or what is going on there. Just how independent and separate is say Tiktok in France or Russia or Vietnam going to be from this new US control? Does this mean kicking out the zionist ghouls from the new global structure and sending them over to the US one or do they stay there censoring pro-Palestinian content?

  • I can see it now: "Autism is an invention of woke coddling liberal Nazis. Anyone high functioning doesn't have it and needs to try harder and stop being fucking lazy slaves who act different, just fucking man up and uh maybe accept working in the fields all day under horrible conditions is all you're good for. Anyone who's low functioning is just uh childhood vaccine damage which is why we're banning all vaccines for children until they're at least 10 years old. Also all educational and workplace accommodations (and relevant protections) are hereby rescinded and I will be directing federal agencies and contractors to stop engaging in them by the end of the year. So to conclude prevent autism by not getting dangerous vaccines and also not engaging in wokeness and accommodating people, just bully them instead please. Thank you"

  • Oh great here comes the miracle mythologizing part of the lionization of this guy.

  • She'll have great success doing the church circuit if she wants though. Evangelicals would eat up donating money to her after a church speech with plenty of tears. At least for a while. They'd get tired of hearing from her sob story within a couple years and the donations would start to thin out but right now she could go around touring mega-churches and collecting some decent change in "donations".

  • New bit idea: Drawing intentionally very unflattering drawings of him with a tiny face on his head and so on and submitting them in apparent sincerity at memorials. Petitioning the local walmart and such to put them on their fallen warrior wall looking just hideously unflattering and insisting your kid drew it or something.

  • Re bulk resellers at 50 cents each

    Check other amazon listings, ebay, etc. It's entirely an online phenomenon.

    You'll see suspiciously cheap n95s sold by random looking companies or individuals listed as seller and the reviews note they just got a bunch of loose masks not a proper 3M branded retail box so those types have absolutely been buying up this old stock in bulk for at least a year or two now, breaking these 440 boxes down and selling them in lots of 10 or 20 that they toss loose in mailers or amazon boxes and undercutting retail prices by anywhere from a mere 20% to up to more than half off, usually around $0.40 to $0.80 a mask.

    Problem is these types of sellers often don't disclose this or make it super clear what you're getting. Plenty of people are fine with it because of the price break, but others are upset to see it. Retail packaged masks seem to sell for around $2 a piece usually, maybe $1.60 or so.

  • We really should turn the FBI guy into an emoji here.

  • Like, at least I can understand when libs and conservatives salivate over bombing foreign nations- they firmly believe they would be completely insulated from the blowback of such actions. But doing so to their own cities, within their own borders? Absolute foolishness to think that won't sink the country into total chaos

    Well they're convinced the other side are utter paper tigers who will cower and whimper and die. When it comes to reactionaries thinking this of liberal Democrat voter types it's not unfounded given how the Democratic party is constantly lying down, surrendering, and generally amenable to being quickly cowed into apologizing for questioning the way reactionaries think and even adopting their views. When it comes to liberals thinking this of reactionaries there is something to be said of the fact that they are mostly just playing rebel and most of them would weep at losing cable TV or enduring any other serious hardship but the very fact they're so armed and some amount of them would harden up into violently retributive militia types should give liberals pause.

    But in either case they believe the military would be on their particular side and that small arms would be no matched for the combined excess of America's various forces. It's just a direct manifestation of a desire to turn the brutalizing punishment dealing state on their own enemies and tormentors internally. No different really than wanting to pass laws outlawing abortion or access to sex toys or DEI is seen as owning the other side and using the state to inflict pain on them while you chortle safely.

    That and Americans haven't know actual strife. They can't conceive of the war coming to their front door, they believe due to all the foreign wars that it'll be like that, something they just watch on TV happening elsewhere.

  • Hmm big words. Let's see if China in particular follows them with big actions. Russia has nothing to lose at this point and don't give a fuck considering how sanctioned they are so they'll likely follow through but what they can do for Iran is severely limited right now as production of advanced missile/air defense systems is I believe pretty much being taken up by their own needs with regards to Ukraine and previous order commitments to other customers like India so the odds are not great they'll be able to DELIVER to Iran any modern air defense systems in any sizeable quantity in the next year at least if not several years. China on the other hand has a lot of capacity and could manufacture and deliver Iran weapons systems within a fairly short time frame. Probably 12 months or less if they really want to.

    What is interesting about this is China has been trying to hold together the UN and the post WW2 order as has Russia because it represented about the best compromise and consensus you were ever going to get with the west involved and any new international system created would have the west demanding much more favorable terms for themselves, scaling back on international justice obligations and international law, etc, etc. So both have been desperate to maintain this flawed but good as it'll get system. This could just be a one-off but it could also represent a realization that there is no salvaging the UN and continuing to work within it is a fool's errand and that they must build alternative global consensus and perhaps law mechanisms which the west will likely spurn and declare invalid. But given the west is trampling over the last scraps of the old order as it is by enabling the zionist genocide of Gaza, unilateral sanctions, illegal military action, unfair trade actions designed to maintain their own supremacy, etc, etc. They hopefully have finally come to the conclusion that it's not worth keeping the thing sacrosanct and abiding by its rules while the west openly flaunts and defies them. To be bound by a system while your enemies are not but are also protected by that system while you are not is a weakness of the western capture of many of these "human rights" institutions and so on.

  • More evidence the US thirsts for a successful nuclear first strike on China and is desperately looking for ways to neutralize their retaliation.

  • Not me as I'd never engage in activities like that. But someone I know likes that site you mention as well as rutracker which can be searched using jackett after creating a free account. A lot of rutracker's stuff is full BluRay remuxes so not the best if you're not willing to re-encode or store things that size.

    I'm told it's worth it if you regularly do this type of thing to get into private trackers assuming you can maintain ratio and follow the hit and run rules.

  • (Funny because, as a former Evangelical myself before last week I totally clocked Kirk as an insincere grifter who said just the right things to get Evangelical support).

    Yeah same. But as we've seen with Trump they don't care. They'll act outraged if you question an obvious grifter-pastor or other type, they'll under duress and after pressing admit Trump is sinful but then fall back on "god works in mysterious ways, god is working through him".

    And also I think you've really hit the nail on the head of one of the reasons why this has staying power outside of the media manufactured outrage and it's the Evangelical persecution fetish that has been left untended for a long time. Sure the whole living with abortion being legal was upsetting to them and the satanic temple getting their little displays up was annoying but they've been lacking an actual martyr taken in blood (not by old age or drugs) for decades. They've watched Jewish zionists exploit the holocaust to play the sympathy and shut up and don't question us card and have been intensely jealous. They've watched their enemies, people who have actually suffered persecution at THEIR hands because they're black or LGBTQ+ getting sympathy and it just drives them wild with frustration. Now finally an uno reverse card, a way to flip the script somewhat convincingly and to vicariously through this act which they're willing themselves to be more emotionally injured by than they would be by a black neighbor being gunned down for example they get that certain self-righteous feeling, they're getting a high they haven't tasted in decades and for some of the young ones not at all.

  • I think because of the Gaza genocide they're desperate to at least both-sides the situation.

    The whole world knows they're guilty of enabling the genocide there, of all but orchestrating it by proxy. But they probably hope to use this situation to rile up the Muslim world against China with the feeling that in 4 years assuming the Gaza situation is "resolved" by the zionoists either completing the genocide or stopping partway and declaring victory, that the Muslim world will be ready to forget yesterday's news and hated enemy and embrace their new hated enemy China which unlike the US is 100% sanctioned by the gulf state comprador governments and media. And they could be quite right. At the very least it lets them muddy their own involvement by saying "oh that was those Jews, not us, they tricked us, we love Muslims, it was a mistake, we didn't realize".
