The blue states would prosper. The red states would not. The red states would beg for re unification within a few years.Remember that time a bunch of libertarians tried to take over a town and shortly after they were overrun with bears? It would be like that but on a much larger scale (10)

Really!? OMG. I'm still laughing! (-3)

Blue states have enough farms though. (-4)

I'm not sure that you understand that all that red is where nobody lives, except the uneducated, low class people who don't realize democratic policies actually benefit them. (1)

Those "uneducated, low class people" grow all your food, numbnuts. Nobody lives there except miles and miles of crops. Have you never been outside of a major city?Without them, you'd get hunted for food.Seriously, ask yourself what some random farmer in the Midwest needs from you. You have nothing of value to them except money that they mostly reinvest to grow more food — FOR YOU. (-3)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

You have a child's way of viewing complex issues. Food shortages would never happen. Surprise, blue states grow shit too. They also buy, and pragmatic red states would be more than happy to sell locally rather than export.Nukes, this is a joke, right. This more sounds like $Trump bullshit. Go ahead, picture one single nuke on our continent. Just one, anywhere. There are too many analogies to dumb this down; ya don't shit where you get your food, dip ur pen in the company inkwell, etc. The result would be catastrophic both human and commercial. Those farmers you brag so much about, their corn immediately has no market. Drown in their own corn if you will.The truth is somewhere near this; the large blue and red states would be fine. The remaining dregs will need to figure out how to sell their worthiness or will simply be absorbed by the larger ones. (0)

For being so smug, you sure are dumb. The blue do grow crops, but they absolutely grow less than they consume. Feel free to look it up, but if you don't think you need to educate yourself before looking stupid again, just think about the population density…crazy concept. And these pragmatic red states wouldn't be selling food to the opposing side during a war. That's actually the dumbest thing you said in your first paragraph. No one bragged about farmers…it's a simple fact that is extremely relevant. One that you're proving needed to be said. As to the nukes though. Our nukes aren't for offense. As we all know, we made that mistake once, and we're still suffering from it and the testing of nukes. I mentioned them as they're a deterrent to other nuclear powers. Of which, there's two big ones across the pacific. Completely missing the point and responding in a condescending manner while being completely wrong is what sounds like Trump stupidity. Nearly every country of any notable si... (2)

Our country is very interconnected and unfortunately it would be an ugly war for us to split. (4)

I know a few guys that have actively called for civil war over the last 8 years. The way they say these words so casually terrifies me. I've listened to a lot of Dan carlins hardcore history and he speaks on what happens to civilians during war time and this terrifies me. Boys are conscripted or killed off so they won't cause problems in the future wife's and daughters turned into s*x slaves or r*ped and murder. I think we have a very idealized vision of what war is because the United States has not had a peer to peer battle in a long time. This would not end well. (4)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I don't think it's the same at allThe civil war was about slavery and federalism, mostly slaveryI think the current climate is very broad imo (1)

Regardless of the specifics of that era, the precursors of a society becoming polarized to the point of hating those who disagree with them is the same. This time, instead of slavery, it's the poor and disenfranchised that are suffering. And the level of greed in today's society is no less than it was then, in fact it's worse. And we just have to look at reproductive rights to see that federalism is being slowly choked to death. America is being wedged apart, with the divide getting wider every day. (1)

Obviously this is a conspiracy to keep people shopping at walmart instead the readily abundant locally owned markets.

find me a small business owner that supports raising the minimum wage, find me one that supports unions, find me one that supports working class issues.

they do not share our interests. and you're not gonna overcome the evils of capitalism by supporting small businesses.

The point is to spend less so you can afford small business goods. Unfortunately some of us have buying addictions.

I don't know if that's my point. Spending less is valid but no one gets to tell me that I have to spend my money at a small business especially a business who expects me to give them my money.

Some small businesses are run poorly or by terrible people. (And in fact, I'd say it's more than some) They are no more necessary as a baker than any large cake company because all cake is a luxury. Anyone watching your money and complaining that they want you to give it to them do not have your interest at heart.

So you'd rather give your money to a huge corporation? Sometimes I feel like Reddit is astroturfed with all these anti-small-business people around.

This is why people call us amerifats. We can't go without garbage low quality mass produced crap even for a moment. Cake is literally a luxury

Even on a protest organisation poster they feel obligated to add 100 words about diversity.

This subreddit was lefty as frick just weeks ago - they'd suppress crime articles about minorities.

Between 1914 and 1918 a bunch of inbred cousins thought it would be very meme to make 17 million of their slaves kill each other.

Even though each one of these countries had been scheming their war plans for decades, a group of them decided to blame it all on Germany instead of Serbia.

The most vocal were France and Belgium who wouldn't even let Germany attend the treaty it would be subjected to. They were still assmad that Prussia had defeated Napoleon III a generation earlier and that their current generation couldn't repel the Germans out of France.

They initially demanded reparations of $1 Trillion. Not an exaggeration. More specifically $1.093 Trillion in 2025 dollars. It was reduced to $442 Billion.

An important note to remember, this wasn't just paid by cash, but also paid by raw materials from mines and factories.

There were other stipulations in the treaty. Germany could not have a military greater than 100,000 men, and had to give up many of its field guns and all of its submarines.

France's economy was in the shitter, and shifted its economy to rely on payments from Germany to make ends meet. However with a depletion of a working force and bad economic conditions, sometimes German industrial outputs fell short of the quantities that France was relying on to buffer its own economy.

What was the smartest move for France and Belgium to get more money and raw materials from a country who had no money or raw materials or military?

Germany continued to default on payments. England wondered if they should be allowed time to recover and rebuild their industry so that they could make the payments after a few years.

Even though the German territory which contained their coal had been given to Poland as part of the same treaty, the Allies determined that

Germany was defaulting on their debts in bad faith!

England tried to get everyone to chill out.

But in 1923, knowing that Germany didn't have a military, France and Belgium invaded western Germany in order to force the citizens to work harder faster.

Above: France functioning at its highest IQ

German citizens felt that soldiers pointing guns at them to force them to work was slavery, so they passively resisted, and so France slaughtered 137 of them as a motivational tactic.

And yes, France billed the Central powers, including Bulgaria, for the privilege of being occupied

don't forget to tip your occupiers! (laughs in frog)

The US and UK were able to restructure the debt and gave Germany loans to stabilize it so the payments could be made. France and Belgium left their occupation positions.

Hitler, a combat veteran, watched this entire process so he decided to become the leader of Germany and make it so France and Belgium could never hurt them like this again and he succeeded.

He overplayed his hand and did some other stuff too, but honestly nobody should have cared about what he did to France and Belgium because they suck and they deserved it.

Info about Bellatrix: Bellatrix is the third-brightest star and a candidate binary star in the constellation of Orion, positioned 5° west of the red supergiant Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis). It has the Bayer designation γ Orionis, which is Latinized to Gamma Orionis. With a slightly variable magnitude of around 1.6, it is typically the 25th-brightest star in the night sky. According to parallax measurements by the Hipparcos spacecraft, Bellatrix is located at a distance of 250±10 light-years. And this pic is low quality but magnificent

TlDr, someone wrote "BIPOC" on a middle school bathroom wall, cops are investigating and the ADL has been called in to conduct struggle sessions.

Oh my, yes.

Hey, by the way, if you can spend $500,000 on an Ivy league masters degree, maybe you too can grow up to work at a small town weekly for peanuts breaking big stories about graffiti on the sixth grade girls restroom..

Now I did make this fight a bit onesided because if Itachi had his sharingan he could just instantly win by looking her in the eyes. I may have made him too weak for this fight because I'm pretty sure when Madoka is in her ultimate form she has omnipotence, exists beyond space time, and has even erased people before they were born. Maybe I should give Itachi his sharingan back? (but without the mangekyo) ?

Also why did naruto move from being about ninja tactics and handsigns to giant DBZ blasts?

Kingdom Come Deliverance II was released sometime in the last three months, and the henpeckers in the Girl G*mers subreddit are still upset. The OP (u/julyvale) bears accusations of misogyny:

Is anyone playing this and has a feeling all the women in the game just subtly signal to be either sexual objects or fragile damsels in danger? I know it is probably historically accurate, but it still rubs me the wrong way somehow. Recently had a convo in some baths and the NPC is literally called "Bathwench Anna". The game also literally starts by the two main characters going to "hunt" women in a pond and one girl getting almost SA until a man comes to save her. I don't mind playing as Henry and so far I don't mind the male oriented story (again), but maybe that will change too. The game is very pretty and immersive, though.

Though admits to enjoying the game. Now while dramatards seem to think that there is (or was) a peepee for every girl on /r/girlg*mers, this post has me second guessing this hate fact, and being generally inclined towards sloth, I'll let you decide whether the OP (and other highlighted posters) are foids (innie) or foids (outtie).

Returning to the remaining comments, most of the people choose to ignore the OP's post (understandably, there's not much to go off of in it), and instead return to hate circle jerking over evil Nazi Daniel Vavra. Let's see what they have to say:

u/tomizu2303

Tbh, I'm not even giving the game a chance because the main dev is a massive biggot, chauvinist, white supremacist, and a terrible guy in general. (edited for typos)

I guess I was wrong about the Nazi allegations

On the other hand, Vavra is guilty of almost every other thoughtcrime imaginable to foid kind

Finally, we get to something popcorn worthy /u/istvan_hun provides receipts for a redditor who, shockingly is out of the loop (amazing how little noticing is done on the general reddit phenomena of being out of the loop ) on the Vavra accusations.

u/istvan_hun

mostly happened on twitter. Vávra is an butthole, but it not a white supremacist.

What actually happened is that some journ*lists wanted to bully Warhorse (and give KCD1 lower ratings) for not having black charaters in the game, Vávra laughed at them. His reasoning was something like: why a game about medieval Bohemia, developed by czechs, should have 21th century american population makeup.*

This was enough for the twitter army to label him as white supremacist/nazi, which inmediately backfired when Vávra told them 1: to frick off, 2: that he is part jew, and had relatives die in the holocaust

Don't get me wrong, Vávra is an butthole. You can also find even older tweets when he is miserable. He is the kind of guy who always is sure of himself, and tells everyone that they are wrong (even when he is obviously out of his league). but he is not a bigot and a nazi.

He is not the guy I would be friends with, or one I would like to drink a beer with. But what game journ*lists tried to do to him was unfair.

*this actually resonated with me very much. There is one (1) game about medieval eastern europe. One. This is literally the only piece of media which represents the region correctly. (culture, countryside, villages, how people behave). Everywhere else, eastern europe is basically a land of strippers, gangsters and alcoholics. It was a glorious game for us.

Than arrive some journ*lists, who want to take away that one game from us, and make it american, like 99% of media.

You can read that if you want, the shitty formatting and rotting grammar have me convinced that this is a some sort of slav misogynist, typing away at his soviet era keyboard from somewhere in the middle of Kazakhstan, all too eager to defend a pretty reprehensible game

u/chickpeasaladsammich

Do non-bigots make a habit of wearing Nazi band t-shirts to conferences? If he's not a white supremacist, he was certainly comfortable courting them as an audience.

edit: english as second langue happened here, sorry. I misinterpreted "nazi band" as nazi armband, not Burzum (a black metal band)

Now, another thread, where a commenter brings up favorite subject: Archaeology.

/u/NerdQueenAlice

It's not actually historically accurate, women have never been one-dimensional characatures. That's just how the men making the game decided to depict then.

Studies of DNA in bones have taught us that about 30-50% of viking warriors were women, but the men who found remains saw items belonging to warriors and mislabeled them men. This is something we've discovered is true for many cultures, men working in anthropology from the days they denied women the ability to work in their field would mislabel chiefs, warriors, hunters and other remains they precieved as doing masculine roles as men, when it reality women have always done those things.

As far as the game goes, I gave it as pass, until the gaming industry has fair representation of women and POC in video games, I won't play games with white male protagonists.

According to them, you only had whites as well...not a fan of these developers tbh

/u/FalconIMGN

In rural parts of Bohemia in the early 1400s? Probably not that far from the truth. In the new game which is set in a more urban area you get to see non-white people too.

/u/jujoking

I think that was due to backlash from the first one, anyway, they've made comments online I'm not a fan off.

let's get a replay on that.

What is funny is he claimed to have a wife, but in his statement he says he's married to a dude.

Full statement

🚨#BREAKING: The Truth

The past few days have been an unrelenting nightmare, marked by an overwhelming barrage of stress, frustration, and exhaustion that has taken a significant toll on my part. A severe and unjust breach of my personal life has occurred, and private information never intended for public exposure is now being recklessly weaponized on X/Twitter. Let me make this absolutely clear: malicious, defamatory, and entirely false accusations have been made about me, my character, and my sexuality.

I founded Rawsalerts in 2020 as an independent journ*list covering the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests at a time when people needed real, unfiltered news. What started as a small effort quickly grew into a major platform due to my commitment to accuracy, integrity, and transparency. My reporting filled a gap in mainstream media, providing breaking news coverage that millions have come to rely on.

Through tireless dedication, Rawsalerts has become one of the most influential independent news sources on social media today. I have worked day and night, sacrificing personal time and privacy, to ensure that people have access to timely and reliable information. This is not just a news page it is a community of people who seek truth over sensationalism, and I take immense pride in the platform I've built.

Let me be absolutely clear: false and malicious accusations have been made about me and my sexuality, and these defamatory rumors are being deliberately spread. These attacks are not only deeply disturbing but also a blatant attempt to damage my character and reputation.

Yes, I am a proud gay man and a proud Republican. My sexuality is not a secret, nor is it something I have ever been ashamed of. Being gay is an integral part of who I am, and I have always carried myself with dignity, honesty, and self-respect. I refuse to let anyone twist my identity into something it is not or use it as a weapon against me.

I have been in a committed marriage for many years with my partner, who works in the legal field. We have built a life together based on love, trust, and integrity. Throughout my life, I have upheld the highest standards of respect for myself and others. Like anyone else, I am entitled to a private life, and I do not owe anyone an explanation for it.

The images circulating on social media are deeply personal and private, never intended for public use or exploitation. Their unauthorized distribution is not only an invasion of my privacy but a desperate and malicious attempt to discredit me. I will not stand idly by while grotesque lies are weaponized against me. This is a calculated effort to undermine my character, and I will take all necessary actions to defend myself against these falsehoods.

No one gets to define who I am except me. I am a proud gay man, and I will not be shamed, silenced, or intimidated.

Despite my unwavering work ethic and the trust I have earned from my audience, the claims being made against me are not just misleading; they are outright fabrications, deliberately designed to destroy my reputation and credibility.

I want to be absolutely explicit: I have never engaged in anything illegal, immoral, or harmful. I have zero involvement in any of the vile and disgusting activities that have been falsely attributed to me. These allegations are beyond absurd and represent a dangerous attempt to defame my name through deceit and manipulation.

Furthermore, let me state this as clearly as possible as I have no interest in minors. Period. Anyone suggesting otherwise is engaging in a blatant act of defamation, and I will pursue every legal recourse available against those responsible.

Those responsible for this defamation will be held fully accountable. I have already initiated legal action, and I will not rest until justice is served. The reckless spread of false allegations is a serious offense, and the individuals behind this smear campaign should be prepared to face the consequences of their actions.

Legal Action is Underway Let me be clear: this defamation will not go unanswered. I have already taken legal action and will pursue every available avenue to ensure that those responsible for spreading false and harmful allegations are held accountable. Defamation is a crime, and the individuals behind this campaign will face the consequences of their actions.

I refuse to allow unfounded rumors, outright lies, and calculated attacks to define me. I have built this platform with integrity, and I will fight relentlessly to protect my name, my reputation, and the community that supports my work.

Above written by AI i guess...

Thank you for letting them dip out quietly. wtf.

He should've fired them. Unless their felons with active warrants these guys would never bother them.

I don't think Americans are aware of what their food is going to cost without cheap exploitable labor.

About the same tbh.

These squads always look the same. Pudgy white guys who aren't well put together. They don't know what they're doing most of the time..

What? There's 2 fatties in there and they look like they know what they're doing. Believe it or not plainclothes units don't want to look like cops.

I mean, look at them as a unit. They look goofy. I understand multi agency cooperation but let's be real. They don't look serious. They look like the boys about to hit the airsoft range. One is excited about his buddy's gun for some reason, when they really should all be familiar enough with their shit that it's no big deal. Probably some new toy bought with tax money though. There's no uniform in sight. Just a bunch of tacticool gear in whatever ensemble you want apparently. Also we're gonna gather out here in this parking lot and goof off till 0600 then it's gravy time.

I can see the SWAT jacket on one.

It's time to wake up America
