The joke is that a clueless American signed up for the wrong IRA but end up agreeing with the anti-British rhetoric

Man I hate what EA did to the PvZ franchise after the initial success. Such potential

.world pre-emptively blocked them (twice) because they’re nerds they’re hosted in the EU and they thought they’d get in trouble by association for being federated with instances that promotes discussion of something illegal in their physical server’s jurisdiction. They had a lot of traffic. The db0 comm is still alive.

“Tankie” in the traditional sense of someone who uncritically supports the USSR in the handling of 1956’s uprising? Probably not.

While Kruschev’s use of tanks in 1956 was heavy handed, the Hungarian alliance with the Axis in WWII and participation of Operation Barbarossa, lingering fascist sympathisers and nationalists remained in Hungary.

This coupled with the Communist Party of Hungary’s less than equitable redistribution of land/castles/other properties earlier in the 1950’s (favouring giving properties to ranking CPH members instead of distributing it to the proletariat equally). This created resentment for the Party, and an image of the Communists as no better than the Monarchy that came before or the Fascists that came after.

The Hungarian uprising had elements of fascist sympathisers, monarchists, bourgeoisie, etc but also legitimate critics of the handling of the situation. It never should have come to that, and a more educated/self critical Communist Party in Hungary could have prevented things from getting that far. The people should have benefitted a lot more from a better redistribution of wealth.

The above issues coupled with Soviet distrust of Hungarians (since they did invade the Soviet Union in the 40’s) led to a swift and harsh reaction towards the uprising, seeing it as just a reactionary revolt.

Now, am I a tankie in the Reddit redefinition, of anyone that critically supports Cuba, China, Vietnam and their style of government? Yeah, I suppose I am. This is no more radical a position than Malcolm X or the Black Panthers who also supported the late USSR, China and Cuba.

Drinking shots of gin.

The place I frequent has the same price for whisky, whiskey (with an e), and vodka.

The bartender says I’m the only person who opts for shots of gin as first preference.

Elon Musk please do one good thing in your life and buy Reddit and run it into the ground.

Dear Mr. President, there are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.

Alcohol and shitposting

Inflammable means flammable? What a country

Baldur’s Gate 3 style CRPG set in a Cowboy Bebop/Firefly style universe.

Alternatively, the My Dinner With Andre arcade game from the Simpsons, either works.

Google “Stargazy pie”

Google “Jellied eels”

Google “mushy peas over chips”

They produce their own content. It’s worse. Never forget Logan Paul’s Hunger Games ripoff YT movie

“it’s not whataboutism when I do it”

Counterpoint: aligning with the west/the US is bad.

If you, the civilian, donates to a legitimate cause, the billion dollar company won’t be able to claim that donation on their tax deductions.

If they donate, it’s a zero sum game. Maybe 5 mins in the spotlight for alturism.

But if you give them the money to donate on your behalf? They don’t spend a cent and are able to get tax deductions for “philanthropy”. It’s the best possible outcome (for the company).

I don’t own a ship but if I did you best believe I would find a crew and use it to raid billionaire yachts while torrenting copyrighted material.

And “silhouette” is a French word

Coincidence? I think not.

Warren Buffet invented the buffet (I think) and I met my girlfriend at a buffet. She is a paramedic, I lost consciousness because I drank 4 litres of the truffle bechamel (I did the maths and this would have cost the restaurant slightly more money than the admission fee, hence hurting Warren Buffet’s bottom line)
