It's pretty funny that the entire society of dumbfucks that make up our political class seem to think that the country will crumble if Neera doesn't get this job. Like this is the most important issue our government faces, that this one incompetent rear end in a top hat manager gets a job and not the pandemic which is some afterthought.

I think the problem with America is the mass delusion that America is the good guy, instead of the demon nation it truly is. Only by confronting it's true nature can its citizens begin to improve

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Literally laughing out loud.

Among the plains tribes in North America, there was the concept of counting coup. This involved making your way to an enemy and striking a blow against them then escaping unharmed. This could be an actual strike, but could also be just touching them with a stick (a coup stick), a hand, whatever. Because of the danger involved, it won the warrior prestige and bolstered the morale of their side, while also demoralizing the other side (since if he'd wanted the attack to be deadly, it could have been.) After a battle, warriors would recount to their tribe their coups, which would be recorded through notches on a coup stick (or sometimes other methods, depending on the tribe and its traditions.)

As far as I'm concerned, that's the real danger 1/6 represents. It was a coup, but not a coup d'etat - and any suggestion that it was is absurd on its face. But it was a coup of the counting coup variety. It's being able to go back to your alt-right/q-anon/stage 2 fasc message board and brag about how you locked yourself in the bathroom and forced the police to negotiate with you while you jerked off. It's about taking goofy photos of yourself stealing the podium from which some of the most powerful people in the world deliver their speeches. It's all the, yes, lulz that these chuds managed to achieve and then brag about to their peers.

It's a morale victory that makes them feel strong. And in that sense, it's dangerous - made moreso by figures like Schumer or AOC likening it to 9/11 or even loving Pearl Harbor :wtc:

yeah... except the 'other tribe' (the cops, in this example) literally let them in.

yeah you have to Hate America to really molt the years of indoctrination off. i know it’s very “wake up sheeple” but american exceptionalism is brainwashed into children at a young age, and getting over that takes a lot of intentional effort and deprogramming

15 months into the pandemic, the government considers sending out masks, but then decides it doesn't want to risk helping too many people

25 million masks in packages of 2 means about 3 percent of the population gets it
