Peanut President posted:so trump's greatest crime, in the eye of the dems, is that he doesn't share their never ending bloodlust for slav death? am i getting that right i have been seriously confused by my parents suddenly deciding the russians are responsible for all evil in the world when that was considered a mockworthy belief for my entire childhood this isnt ancient history either obama gave romney poo poo for it back in the far off year of 2012

Tunicate posted:i wanna see a modern Manchurian candidate reboot where the Russians kidnap a guy and brainwash him NOT to kill the president the more recent version omits foreigners entirely and just makes the bad guy a corporation also the feds plant evidence to save the day at the end dont think the people who made that movie understood anything about the original really

i told the old d&d russia thread that john bolton used russiagate to stage a comeback when he had to be forced out of washington with his tail between his legs ten years ago and was called a complete loon since of course everyone knows that bolton is terrible and its not like his appointment could have been blocked anyway

Atrocious Joe posted:Yasha Levine did a little essay about the mindfuck that many Soviet/Russian immigrants have gone through in the past few years from being the good white immigrants to Russian scum. as incomprehensible as the notion may seem now before 9/11 middle easternern immigrants and their descendants were basically the only reliable republican minority voting bloc unluckily for them it became really hard to rationalize that they were the good immigrants once the republicans in power turned them into the bogeyman of course they at least had the benefit of being able to back the ostensibly not racist party when the republicans drove them away i cant imagine what its like to be a slavic person right now and constantly being told that trump is historys greatest monster for hating immigrants on one end while constantly getting accused of being fifth columnists by the alleged pro immigrant party

seoul subway is really clean koreans are surprised to learn that other countries subways are cesspools because like just hire some people to clean it why is that hard other fun fact they just convert random railroad tracks into subway lines which is why you can go as far south as cheonan and as far east as chuncheon if that doesnt mean anything to you imagine if the la subway extended into san bernardino and irvine

i dont think you get it that stuffs ok when we do it because were protecting our freedoms non sarcastic question did the russians or chinese ever actually do this because just at a glance it seems like people from those countries have a decent basic idea what american culture is like but americans seem to struggle with understanding the social culture of those countries or any others beyond simplistic stereotypes

i wonder if the people who get the part that talks about how manafort was actually advising yanukovych to move farther away from putin ever stop to wonder whether this completely contradicts everything they think they know about what happened i mean obviously not i doubt any of the people involved in these recitations actually listen to anything thats being said but its a nice thought

hey everybody jon huntsman resigned as ambassador to russia no specific reason hed only ever agreed to do the job for two years in the first place im finding it funny that apparently this is the first ive ever heard that trump appointed huntsman to the only government job that requires talking to russians on a regular basis because hes such a milquetoast respectable republican that acknowledging his existence as ambassador would just make russiagate look even dumber

eh i think its an open question whether humbert is supposed to be a sympathetic character or not if nabokov had wanted to write a pro pedophilia novel he would have had to have used literary devices to depict humbert and lolitas actions with ambiguity anyway because otherwise theres no way he could have gotten published movies like pretty baby blue lagoon and leon engaged in the exact same pseudo artistic bullshit but looking back now they were just made by pedophiles is a much more elegant and logical explanation than saying they were actually an elaborate critique of pedophile culture if that examples too high brow for you also recall that anime does the exact same thing with varying degrees of competence which is where the whole shes really a thousand year old demon meme comes from none of this is especially relevant to nabokovs being russian although amusingly enough you could conceivably make it an argument for why he was a russian defector communists would not have put up with this bullshit even if degenerate capitalists will bend over backwards to call grotesque erotic nonsense art

Dumb Lowtax posted:Can someone give me the lowdown on Noam Chomsky this four part series is a fairly comprehensive read going over the tankie issues with chomsky the tldr version is that while chomsky is very good at identifying bad things that happened in the past regarding any kind of contemporary foreign policy issue hes really not much different than liberals in terms of accepting bullshit narratives and excuses for whatever random intervention the foreign policy establishment wants to do at that moment

in honestly having trouble even figuring out what the scandal is no one appears to have made any attempt to retaliate against or punish the whistleblower the complaint just got stuck in bureaucracy and eventually ignored because dhs didnt think it was important whats more than that the conversation makes biden look worse than trump since no one can argue with a straight face that his failson actually deserved that job so im not sure why the democrats are choosing this of all hills to die on the whole thing is somehow even dumber than russiagate
