    Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

    That was true of many prior generations of Democrat, but have you seen the current crop? There's a reason people talk about 'the mask is coming off.'

    That was almost certainly something a campaign staffer did, and not Ron himself. However, it doesn't speak well of Ron's leadership that such a thing was allowed to happen.

    This perspective is dangerously immersed in the perspective of internet and 'liberal high society' social circles. None of what you've said is completely wrong, but it is hyper-focusing on three specific types of communities; social media, leftist elite circles, and high-crime neighborhoods in...

    When it was 'some rando walked up and called me racist names' I could buy that maybe happened. There's a few actual anti-black racists around, even if they're hilariously outnumbered by anti-white racists. Not likely, but within the realm of possibility. 'And then everyone pointed and laughed...

    I mean, this is just proof of what was already self-evident to people who weren't drinking the kool-aid.

    It's useful to keep a couple old computers around that you never put online anymore. I have two laptops from the 90's like that.

    Most likely fracture and then dissolve bit by bit. That's just most likely though, and I couldn't even tell you by how much. All kinds of things could happen.

    You can be polite to someone as you firmly escort them out of their government office, across town, and into a nice humane jail cell, where they will await their trial.

    Oh my gosh. That is one of the sickest burns I have ever seen, and dealt in such a respectful way too.

    Zachowon is an example of one extreme. The Chinese did achieve 'shit,' but they did not achieve their full war objectives. They did in fact mean to 'liberate' all of Korea. The war ended with a stalemate, one which China and North Korea suffered massively disproportionate losses to achieve.

    And in neither of these wars was the US defeated militarily. The US people decided they were sick of the war, and pulled out. Every time that there was an actual battle fought, the military was crushingly effective. I'm not trying to argue the US lost the cultural and political will to fight...

    I'm not saying it pushed the USSR to break up. That was already pretty much inevitable. I'm saying it killed the chance of any soviets trying a last-ditch 'death or glory' military offensive. ...So are you not familiar with the history of American military performance? In every single war the...

    Oh, I'm well aware that the Iraqi military performance was far from stellar. However, 100:1 is still spectacular. Maybe it's only as impressive as achieving 50:1, or 20:1 against a more competent military, but that's still an absolutely insane success rate. And again, the role this played in...

    ...As I said, you clearly do not know what you are talking about. I'll try to keep this description brief; The Iraqi military was organized on Soviet lines, and used Soviet equipment. Not cutting-edge soviet equipment, sure, but an MBT is an MBT even if it's twenty years old. The coalition...

    This perspective is every bit as slanted as those that lean towards 'The US military has been nothing but incredible from WWII and onward!' You really do not seem to have any idea of how difficult or impressive crushing an 'oil Republic' like Iraq was in 1991, or how much of a turning point...

    Ironically, it would be vastly easier to defeat either Russia or China in a non-nuclear military conflict. The reason for this is actually very simple: The Taliban were an ideological grass-roots organization that valued their theology over their lives; no matter how many leaders you kill...

    I do not like this modern attempt to conflate 'genocide' with 'relocation.' Forced relocation of entire people groups is a bad thing. It is not the same thing as an extermination campaign. In the West, genocide is inextricably culturally interlinked with one thing, the Holocaust...

    Because BLM aren't 'Russian Psyops,' they're domestic dissidents and terrorists supported by Russians psyops because it's useful to Russia for dissidents and terrorists in the west to be strong.

    Communists are every bit as bad as Fascists, if not worse. They have a higher body count, too.
