Enough of this stupid line. Too many of you people fall for it. China is constantly on the verge of a catastrophic civil war, which you don't know about because of their ironclad information controls. They're a few bad breaks away from starvation at nearly all times. They're learning to meddle as they go (starting in the 1990s when Clinton opened the door to wholesale corruption), but it's mostly experimental and devoid of some master plan. The US simply cannot be invaded, but a puppet government is as close as we could get to falling under foreign domination.

But somehow resisting that puppet government is falling into China's hands? No. Fuck right off.

Grills' over there, gramps; just relax and leave the keyboardin' to the people with all their teeth.

A thousand layers of government and bureaucracy have been subverted for a centruy, but you stand on a righteous little box and decry everyone's frustrations--let's get this straight because you love changing your tune as each goes off-key--because they didn't dedicate their lives to local politics? Jesus, you get stupider the more posts you make.

Your only rhetorical tools are specious non-sequiturs and straw-men. Just stay in your backyard and grill, gramps; nobody gives a shit what you have to say.

Normally true but you picked a lousy category with regard to optics. Aimpoint, Trijicon, Elcan. Those ARE high-end, and they're military spec. There's no Super Premium Civilian optics that the military skipped out on because they're too pricey, that can stand up to duty use.

Sorry to lift up the rock you've been under pal but we know all about the people making the laws. Christ, do you know what site you're even on?

The point of this discussion is, the police are in-between us and them. You can't "go around".

It's even sadder when you realize that the people writing those jokes are almost exclusively miserable, petty assholes. Source: know some.

If they don't have context, I imagine some future society (or alien archeologists) will believe that only Black Women could be judges or chiefs of police based on television shows.

I figure the Navy would stay neutral with regard to the internal conflict, but not so neutral with regard to defending the United States from any foreign aggressor. But you're right: that may or may not entirely extend to our defensive obligations to Taiwan.

It's still a hell of a gamble for the CCP to make in order to take Taiwan; they must think they can snag it without destroying its economy in the process.

just another sad comedian that would get obliterated by today's cancel culture and SJW mobs if he was still relevant, so hides behind his far left liberal lunacy like a shield.

Very well said.

They broke him during the Disney trilogy. He got the message, presumably from all sides, from everyone in the industry: put up a fight about the deliberate humiliation of your character and the agenda-driven, explicit anti-white message, and you'll be exiled from Hollywood. For a moment, he almost looked ready to fight. But he took the easy path. From there, jumping on the narrative bandwagon is just part of the price of staying in the club. Shame!

They meant the guy who called you a "cuck fag lover", not you. Your joke was spot on mate.

Well, our wars weren't fought here. The Spanish Civil War set Spain's economy "back" quite a bit, but that said, I object to the phrase "back": what's "foward"? Is "forward" "progressive"? Destruction as economic stimulant is a time-honored fallacy (and arguably the economic fallacy), but on the other hand, living in a techno-noir dystopian authoritarian hellhole is not worth the economic "progress" when said progress amounts to Fancy Gadgets Programmed By Faggots And Made By Asian Slaves.

Fifty years of economic data shows indisputably how colossal, almost inconceivably increases in productive efficiencies (relative to the rest of human history) have been captured exclusively by an exclusive echelon of capital owners who leverage their (leveraged) leverage to vacuum up every industry into mega conglomerates (which is a fancy way to say wages and living standards have stagnated). There's less to be concerned about getting "set back" than you might think.

A quarter of our Pacific submarine fleet would be enough to forestall a Chinese move on Taiwan (that involves more than indiscriminate bombardment). China already has the ability to murder millions (but a tiny fraction of what we can do in response, as has been the case for decades). China feels like it's ready to step out onto the big world stage that they feel is their right. Except they can't do shit on their own and owe their economic existence to us. You overstate China's ability to operate (and even exist as a coherent state) unilaterally.

This is exactly the argument I gave to someone yesterday. A multi-degree-holding PhD and highly-regarded professional in their field. Their response was a blank stare NPC.exe has stopped responding. It's astounding how far the societal valuation of critical thinking has fallen.

You're absolutely right. It's part of the iconic (at least, to us) Eat The Bugs, Live In the Pod, Rent Everything lifestyle they have envisioned for us as neofeudal serfs. Not only will we continue to pay over half (they'll try to settle for around 65%) of everything you do to the elite in the form of taxes, licenses and fees, but your rented cloud-powered life will make you utterly at the whim of your masters. A few ones and zeros and you can't eat, you can't travel, you can't do anything.

Buy a 80-series while you still can, and learn how to service it.

Now that's funny. I think upper-right would be the primo place to be--get all those anticipated recoil voters.

Yea, same; I don't know if they trolled t_d for the links or algorithmically determined based on chat, but either way, I'm a grown-ass man who's never said a bad word on Discord until I chatted about potential plans for the 6th with a few CA pedes. I was even at a loss for what the hell I got banned over until it hit me that it's a coordination shut-down. What a bunch of horses arses.

FYI, Discord is permanently shitcanning the accounts of anyone on a server coordinating to go to DC on the 6th as "inciting violence", so you can't organize there.

The trouble is that Obama quietly purged the officer corps and heaps of folks sportin' birds or stars are now lackey fucks.

You're as good at arguing as you are at the rest of your life -- an embarrassment for everyone involved -- in failing to note that I cited no movement. Of course, it would be the speed of someone of your intellect to claim that hundreds of thousands of Trump rally and parade participants were "paid actors".

That convenient Charlottesville! Charlottesville! Charlottesville! stone the left has been squeezing for blood for years -- created because there literally wasn't anyone actually saying the things you faggots need to be said to breathe life into the bogeyman that motivates your braindead followers -- was, and always will have been, a total façade. All the spittle in the world you spray onto your yellowed monitor can't change that.
