I just ran an event. It was so meaningful to me.

Bla bla bla this libertarian coach cute twink did some gay sporting event involving children

I called someone on my ride home and talked for 30 minutes, all smiles.

I get home late and I'm glad to finally relax. I bellyflop onto the bed and do a dramatic sigh.

this reads like a woman wrote it but ok

My wife says, "did you come in from the garage? Is the laundry done?" I say I don't know. "Get off the bed, I just washed the sheets."

scrotes disrespecting household labour

I said okay and left the room. She followed me and said she didn't know what she did wrong. Asked me if we could start over. I said sure. She told me about her day, said she wants to hear about mine but she's tired and hopes she will fall asleep soon. "Do you still want to tell me about it?" No thanks. The end.

That's it. Idk how to explain it. She knew how important it was. She knew the effort. She knew I was genuinely excited to talk about it. She knew. She knows.

Basically this uncaring harlot doesn't give a solitary frick about her husband or anything he does Let's see if Reddit gave this moid a safe space to vent

So…when you were at your highest, you didn't call your wife; you called a friend. That says a lot about the lack of support you expect from her.

✅ It was actually your fault

Think hard about this one kiddo, she should have been with you. Why wasn't she?

If it's important to them; yes.

That's largely silly, just because he had time to coach doesn't mean she wasn't working, or watching 3 kids, or had laundry,

Expecting support from your life partner is 'largely silly' because of laundry

Seriously, I feel like we need to hear her side in this particular situation. The fact that he came in, and while I'm just going off of what OP told us, I imagine he didn't say anything until he "slumped" on the bed and sighed??!! Who's so happy and excited and then lays exhaustingly on the bed and lets out a dramatic sigh??!! She's probably sick of shit honestly.

YEAH FRICK THIS CUTE TWINK AND HIS HAPPINESS

I feel like there's more to this. Why talk to someone else for 1/2 an hour? Why does she not respond to you? I am hearing a lot of negativity towards her but maybe you don't give her that attention.

My ex husband used to put so much time and effort into everyone else.

>be miserable c*nt

>husband prefers other people

You should have told the truth. Yes, you DID want to talk about it. Burying the feelings doesn't help anyone. Communication is key.

clueless scrote. You have to treat your wife like an r-slured toddler and tell her explicitly what to do all the time. She'll love that!

I also would feel very hurt if I spent hours cleaning and my husband just came and slept on sport clothes in the fresh bed

Plus he gets directly to bed.. Like what did the kid eat? Was that mom's responsibility?

uh, yes?

I think this one is on you for deciding not to tell her about your day after the whole exchange was said and done.

Reading this, I thought props to her for asking to start over at all. If I was home doing chores and my husband came in, didn't say anything to me and immediately went and laid on clean sheets without changing - a big pet peeve of mine - I'd be pissed.

You mean to tell me Redditors are unlovable psychopaths

How much of the household management was left to your wife?

Every single r-slur in this thread is explicitly concerned with the fact that had to lift a solitary finger and not be waited on hand and foot 24/7

As a woman who often carries the mental load despite many many attempts to create systems that divvy it up more equally with my partner,

sounds like a fun relationship!

Exactly. All while he was out enjoying his hobby to the fullest extent expecting her to be jubilant after her full day of chores. It doesn't sound good.

Maybe it's because I'm a moid but I'm actually fully capable of both performing menial household tasks AND not being a miserable c*nt about it! My DMs are open ladies

I'm still on team foid though because he sounds like more of a woman than she does.

Whose side are you on for this extremely tepid drama?

Team Moid - Frick that cold hearted whore - 127 votes

Team Foid - She JUST washed the sheets! - 65 votes

A Country in Turmoil

It's time for the part 2 of our story. Taking from last post, Salvador Allende is the President of Chile and in 1971 the Unidad Popular got big wins on the municipal elections (getting 49% of the popular vote), however because Allende and the commies activated the money printer inflation skyrocketed in Chile leading to a stronger opposition.

As mentioned in the other post, General Viaux along members of the right-wing paramilitary group "Patria y Libertad" and CIA glowies assassinated the commander of the army, General René Schneider.

The so-called "Schneider Doctrine" was a non-intervention principle by which the Armed Forces were to remain loyal to the constitutional order. The Chilean Armed Forces are composed by 3 branches, the army , the navy , and the Air Force . Then you have the "Carabineros de Chile", the carabineros are the National Police but they're highly militarized and more akin to the French "Gendarmerie"

After taking office in 1970, Allende appointed General Carlos Prats as the new head of the army.

General Prats was a fierce adept of the Schneider Doctrince.

In terms of the economy the currency reserves of Chile went from 394 million dollars in 1970 to 163 million dollars in 1971. In terms of trade the balance went from a surplus of 95 million dollars to a deficit of 90 million dollars after an abrupt fall in copper prices (Chile's main export abroad).

The raising of wages along the freezing of prices led to shortages of good, and by 1971 a black market had risen.

By 1973 the amount of money circulating rose from 173% in 1972 to 413%. Inflation went from 225% in 1972 and reached 606% in 1973. On the streets violent clashes occurred between sympathizers of Allende and the Unidad Popular and right-wingers/other members of the opposition.

The government blamed shortages on sabotaging by enemies of the people, however even unions engaged and benefited from the black market activities. They would oftentimes charge their remunerations in goods so they could trade them in the black market. Very wholesome and stable government

By 1972 the government created the "Junta de Abastecimientos y Precios", which were local "people's" committees to deliver basic food goods and combat the shortages.

A pic from the breadlines

On October 9th 1972 the National Confederacy of Trucker's Owners went on a strike along with other trucker's associations. They had the backing of newspapers like "El Mercurio" (known conservative newspaper) and our glowie friends

On October 10th the government responded by arresting the truckers leaders, by October 12th the truckers responded by blocking the main roads of the country which led Allende to declare a National Emergency. By October 13th some 300 people had been arrested all over the country. In the following days other organizations joined the strike, among them the Confederation of Commerce and Production, the Confederation of Small Industry, the Association of minibuses drivers, the association of taxi drivers. By October 17th they were joined by the Medical Association of Chile (basically all doctors), the Federation of High School students of Santiago and all the Lawyers, engineers, and dentistry organizations. Then port workers, pilots, teachers, by October 18th the country was completely paralyzed.

The associations formed the "National Command" and published their demands on "El Mercurio", they asked for the end of nationalizations, end of expropriations, restitution of expropriated property, end of radio censorship and limiting the President's powers. The strike peaked on October 24th, a day known as "Día del Silêncio",

During the strike, 2 truckers, one soldier and a worker are killed.

The strike ended on November 5th after Allende appointed members of the Armed Forces to cabinet. Carlos Prats took over as Minister of the Interior, Rear Admiral Ismael Huerta as Minister of Public Works and General Sepúlveda as Minister of Mining. This cabinet lasted up to the midterm elections of march 1973 where the Unidad Popular got 44% of the votes vs 55% of the Confederacy for Democracy (all opposition parties ranging from the PDC to rightoids together).

By 1973 Allende tried to re-aproach the PDC, however Eduardo Frei Montalva and Patricio Aylwin demanded military ministers which would have left the UP out of too many ministries.

By April 17th 1973 a miners strike began at "El Teniente" triggering street violence and lasting for 74 days. By 1973 over 100 people had been killed because of political violence. There was a risk of Civil War by then. Meanwhile the Coup d'Etat was already being planned by the high command of the Chilean Navy.

On June 27th 1973, General Prats was being driven through an intersection in the fancy neighborhood of "Las Condes" in Santiago when his car was approached by a red Renault. The people inside the car begin to insult Prats who was paranoid about what happened to Schneider 3 years earlier. So Prats took his gun and told them to stop, they didn't so Prats opened the window and shot the Renault . Both cars stopped and the driver was a woman accompanied by her young nephew, a crowd then surrounded Prats, he apologized and everyone begin to insult him and threaten him. They proceeded to break his car apart and flatten his tires, a taxi driver passed by took Prats away, told him to get in or he would be lynched. On that same day Prats went to Allende's office and presented his resignation. On June 29th however a coup attempt happened when Lt. Colonel Roberto Souper rebelled along his regiment. The attempt known as "Tanquetazo" was quelled by Prats himself. 22 people died.

By mid 1973 the Soviet Union was supposed to send weapons to Chile as part of an agreement with Allende, however they decided not too as they could see the writing on the wall, Allende wasn't going to make it so the Russians didn't want to risk arming rightoids.

On the Other front there was an institutional crisis going on. The mayors of the Unidad Popular along the central government were carrying out nationalizations and expropriations based on laws passed by a failed socialist regime in Chile which lasted for a few months in 1932.

By 1972 the courts were ruling against the expropriation as unlawful and unconstitutional. Between January and May 1973 the Supreme Court passed a number of resolutions asking the government to comply with the laws and abide by the courts instead of ignoring them, citing a constitutional breakdown.

presenting to the President for "the umpteenth time the illegal attitude of the administrative authority in the illicit interference in judicial matters

The government goons replied with a campaign calling judges "viejos de mierda" (old shits).

Prats took over as Minister of Defense on August 9th. On August 21st in front of Prats house a crowd of angry military wives gathered to protest. On that afternoon Allende along his ministers and Prats second in command, General Augusto Pinochet, arrive in place to show their support. The crowd proceeds to boo them all. By August 23rd Prats resigns. He recommends Allende to appoint Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, a longtime apolitical officer with no affiliations, as new head of the army.

On August 22nd the Chamber of Deputies of Chile passed a resolution of the Institutional and Legal Breakdown of Chile. This resolution accused the government of totalitarian practices, ignoring the courts and attempting against basic liberties. They called upon the Armed Forces to act. The Medical Association also signed a letter demanding Allende's resignation.

In the Navy almost everyone in the upper echelons was part of the coup's conspiracy. A similar phenomenon in the Air Force except for General César Ruíz, the head of the branch. However after Allende appointed him as Minister of Public Works and Transportation, General Gustavo Leigh, a plottist, became the new head of the Air Force. In the Carabineros (Police) General César Mendoza was part of the conspiracy. The wild card was Pinochet.

In September 7th Admiral Merino sent a letter to Leigh and Pinochet asking them to dispose their forces on September 11th at 6:00am in Valparaíso.

Augusto Pinochet

Augusto Pinochet was born on November 25, 1915, in Valparaíso, Chile, to Augusto Pinochet Vera and Avelina Ugarte Martínez. He grew up in a middle-class family in a port city that was then a cultural and commercial hub. Pinochet was the eldest of six children and was raised in a devout Catholic household, which instilled in him a sense of discipline and hierarchy that would shape his later military career.

In 1933, Pinochet enrolled at the Chilean Military School, where he demonstrated a strong sense of ambition but was not particularly distinguished academically. After graduating in 1937 as a second lieutenant, he began a slow ascent through the ranks of the Chilean Army. Over the years, he developed a reputation as a competent and methodical officer, although he remained relatively unknown outside military circles.

During the 1940s and 1950s, Pinochet served in various units across Chile, gaining experience in different terrains and military operations. He married Lucía Hiriart Rodríguez in 1943, and the couple would go on to have five children. His family life was characterized by Lucía's strong influence on his personal and political decisions.

Pinochet's career advanced during the 1960s, a time when Chile was undergoing significant political and social changes. He continued his education by attending the War Academy, where he specialized in military strategy and geopolitics. By the mid-1960s, Pinochet had become a professor at the academy, known for his lectures on counterinsurgency, reflecting the military's growing focus on internal security during the Cold War. His academic contributions included a strong emphasis on maintaining order and combating Marxist ideologies, which were gaining traction in Chile and across Latin America.

In 1968, Pinochet was promoted to brigadier general, a significant milestone in his career. He was posted to various key roles, including commanding units in Chile's north and south. His administrative skills and ability to maintain strict discipline earned him recognition among his peers, though he remained apolitical, rarely voicing opinions on the country's political turmoil.

At this point in 1973, Pinochet's public image remained that of a quiet, professional soldier. Few suspected that within weeks, he would become the leader of a coup that would overthrow Allende's government and mark the beginning of his nearly 17-year rule as the head of a military dictatorship.

THE COUP

Pinochet took 2 days until he replied to Merino that he was in. There's some irony on this famous tyrant becoming a dictator by chance, he wasn't even part of the conspiracy up until a few days before as they didn't know if he could be trusted. On September 9th Allende announced a plebiscite to solve the institutional crisis, but it was pretty much too late.

On September 10th Pinochet sent his family away to the South near the border with Argentina, in case they needed to escape.

In the early hours of September 11, 1973, military units began mobilizing across Chile. Communication networks and transportation hubs were placed under surveillance or neutralized. Key military figures, including Pinochet and Merino, coordinated from secure locations, ensuring that their forces were synchronized. The coup's success depended on swift control of Santiago, the nation's capital, where La Moneda Palace, the seat of government, symbolized Allende's authority.

At approximately 6:00 a.m., the coup began in earnest. Army units in Santiago and other cities occupied key military installations, broadcast stations, and transportation hubs. The Navy took control of Valparaíso, Chile's main port city, ensuring that reinforcements or communications from outside the country could not interfere. This action effectively isolated Chile diplomatically and physically.

One of the earliest moves was the seizure of radio and television stations, which were critical for controlling the narrative. Military forces occupied Radio Agricultura and other major broadcasters, replacing regular programming with martial music and announcements. At 7:00 a.m., a public declaration by the military junta was broadcast, announcing their intent to "restore order" and accusing Allende of undermining democracy. This marked the first public acknowledgment of the coup and was designed to disorient Allende's supporters.

Simultaneously, troops began moving toward critical infrastructure in Santiago, including airports, bridges, and major roadways. By 8:00 a.m., the military had effectively paralyzed the city, cutting off avenues for resistance or escape. These early operations ensured that opposition forces were unable to mobilize effectively, granting the coup leaders uncontested control over Santiago's strategic points.

La Moneda Palace became the focal point of the coup as Salvador Allende and his closest aides barricaded themselves inside. By 7:30 a.m., Allende had arrived at the palace, determined to resist the military's demands for his resignation. Armed with a small contingent of loyal security personnel and a few supporters, Allende rejected offers of safe passage out of the country, declaring that he would defend his presidency to the end.

The military issued an ultimatum to Allende at approximately 8:30 a.m., demanding that he surrender unconditionally. Allende refused, famously addressing the nation via Radio Magallanes around 9:10 a.m., in what would become his final speech. In his broadcast, Allende reaffirmed his commitment to the Chilean people, denouncing the coup as a betrayal of democracy and a tool of foreign imperialism.

By mid-morning, tanks and infantry units surrounded La Moneda, cutting off all access to and from the palace. Snipers were positioned on rooftops, while artillery was prepared to breach the building's defenses. The Air Force contributed by deploying fighter jets, a decisive move that underscored the junta's overwhelming firepower.

At 11:00 a.m., after another ultimatum was ignored, the military began bombarding La Moneda with heavy artillery. Hawker Hunter fighter jets strafed the palace, delivering precision strikes that caused significant damage. The psychological effect of the airstrikes was immense, as the explosions reverberated across the city, signaling the coup's seriousness and ruthlessness.

The Fall of La Moneda

By noon, La Moneda was engulfed in smoke and flames. The small contingent inside, including Allende, was running out of ammunition and options. The military intensified its assault, with ground forces breaching the palace's lower levels. Despite the hopeless situation, Allende refused to surrender. Around 1:30 p.m., with the palace in ruins and his presidency effectively over, Allende reportedly took his own life with an AK-47 rifle gifted to him by Fidel Castro.

The military secured La Moneda shortly after 2:00 p.m., raising the junta's flag over the smoldering ruins. Troops conducted a sweep of the building, detaining any survivors and seizing documents. The junta immediately announced that Allende was dead, framing his death as a suicide to delegitimize any potential martyrdom or rallying cry for resistance.

While the siege of La Moneda dominated the events in Santiago, the military worked to consolidate power across the country. In major cities like Valparaíso, Concepción, and Antostragasta, military units detained leftist political leaders, trade unionists, and suspected supporters of Allende's Popular Unity coalition. By the afternoon, stadiums, schools, and other large facilities were repurposed as detention centers, where thousands of individuals were interrogated, tortured, or executed.

The military junta issued decrees banning political parties, unions, and public assemblies. A curfew was declared, and military patrols roamed the streets, enforcing martial law. The use of propaganda continued, with radio broadcasts proclaiming the success of the coup and the beginning of a "new era" for Chile. By the end of the afternoon, resistance had been effectively crushed, and the junta was in full control of the country.

The new Junta de Gobierno was composed by Augusto Pinochet, Gustavo Leigh, Tobías Merino, and César Mendoza. With Congress closed now they ruled Chile becoming effectively the executive and legislative power.

So begins the Dictatorship

In Europe and Switzerland, we don't need social or economic refugees from the USA any other country in the world. Stay in your own country.

He's not going to hurt you, you know? The US is a strong democracy.

Maybe you are trolling, but no, you simply can't just move to Switzerland because you feel like it. You need specialist skills and a company willing to sponsor you, just like it would be if I was to move to the US.

If you husband has mid 8 figures CHF to invest in Switzerland, that might be difficult.

How exactly do you propose moving here? Have you seen the visa requirements?

Also, how exceedingly arrogant to just claim you can live here when your country makes it so difficult for everyone else.

Is this a troll post?

From the article:

The City of Melbourne council and Victorian government remain steadfast in their Australia Day policies despite a swell in support for the national holiday. Victoria will not bring back Melbourne's Australia Day Parade, which was a centrepiece of celebrations up until it was cancelled by former premier Dan Andrews during the Covid period four years ago. Staff working for the state government and City of Melbourne Council will also continue to have the option to shun Australia Day as a holiday by choosing another day to have off. Although the City of Melbourne will host traditional citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day the council confirmed it still opposes January 26 as the date of national celebration. 'The City of Melbourne will host nine citizenship ceremonies in 2025 – including on January 26,' a council spokesperson told the Herald Sun.

It also found 86 per cent of respondents were 'proud to be Australian' while 68 per cent agreed that Australia has 'a history to be proud of'. January 26, which marks the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney's Port Jackson in 1788, has been labelled Invasion Day by those who see it as a date for mourning the colonisation and dispossession of Indigenous Australians. IPA deputy executive Director Daniel Wild said the results demonstrated a shift in the vibe and energy surrounding Australia Day.

'It is clear that mainstream Australians have had a gutful of this attitude and being put upon by the elites,' Mr Wild said. 'The 26th of January is more than just a date, it represents the establishment of modern Australia as a free and fair country.'

For those who don't know. Victoria is a communist backwater state in Australia. It is one the poorest and most uncultured states. It even signed itself up to China's Belt and Road initiative is currently in a mountain of debt. I hate Victoria so much bros. I hope Trump invades Victoria genocides every single soy Victorian there. Fricking cute twinks. Kill all Victorians. Despite making up 20% of Australia's population, Victoria consumes 84% of federal subsidies. That's just how much of shithole Victoria is. Australia would be much richer if we just booted it from the Federation.

Anyway, Soybourne actually are having Aus day celebrations - I just want any excuse to shit on the city that I live in.

The IPA - the Institute of Public Affairs - is a rightoid "think"tank that espouses whatever their donors want to here. When I become dictator, these kinds of people will be liquidated. Lots of people will be liquidated. It is my dream to one day be unburdened by leftoids and rightoids. Every aussie will be an ascended griller. I will install though trackers into the brains of every citizen so that they can only think good, correct thoughts.

I've got the flu, have only slept 3 hours and just want to weird post. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

Let's see how the Redditors are eating up this garbage article:

This will only help dutton in the upcoming election.

Exactly, these traitors need flushing out of the system. Go find another country to disassemble.

Fricking ease up turbo. Most people who don't choose to celebrate the day just want it changed. They don't want to disassemble the country 😂😂.

I would bet 8 out 10 people in this situation are either state actors or passive aggressive Marxists, 2 actually really care...

Below is you:

https://giphy.com/gifs/byYvc9meProt2

Haha, I upmarseyd this.

Mate you're fricking cooked. It's not even hard to understand why indigenous people find it offensive. We literally celebrate the day some other c*nt rocked up in a boat and said "Yeah, I'll take it " Literally the only problem stopping this debate from being easily resolved is the fact that the dumb c*nts started the federated nation of Australia on Jan 1st. So it's a bit fricking hard to celebrate our actual birthday because everyone is hungover.

Jesus dude, hop off the Pauline punch

We'll be isn't too far off, the people promoting this garbage don't understand the damage their doing and the blow back that comes after it.. some things are better off left alone.

What damage?

When Dutton gets in you and the other down voting clowns should take a look in the mirror and take a bow

What is Dutton going to force people to wear flags as capes at gunpoint? Most if the decline in attendance at Australia far events happened under a Liberal government

Cope

Frick off you do know what Marxist is

Do you?

Karl Marx wrote in the communist manifesto that communism shall be defined as not having Australia day on January 26. Once that is achieved we can have a dictatorship of the proletariat, initiate a cultural revolution and live like George Orwins animal crackers.

The pigs rule, until they're eaten.

What exactly is a "passive aggressive Marxist"?

A Marxist who is aggressive, passively...

Fine. Don't seize the means of production. See if I care.

Calling people that want Australia Day moved (not even gone just moved) traitors is fricking hilarious. What flavour crayon are you eating today?

How did you come to the conclusion that I was referring specifically to people that want Australia Day moved traitors? You are sprinkling false context where it doesn't exist. If you read through my history, I am all for moving the date.

But who then wants to "disassemble" Australia?

Maybe those who have something to gain from it? Usually it is distraction or manipulation for political control, or partitioning votes. There are benefits in keeping people busy fighting amongst themselves, consider it filling a collective cognitive capacity with "noise".

As an Australian I would like the national day to honour the day Australians did something, like Federation (Jan 1), establishment of Australian authority I've parliament and courts (March 3) or perhaps a republic. I think the "traitors" are the ones who celebrate a day British sips carrying British convicts landed here to establish a British penal colony under a British flag

I disagree (regarding who are the traitors), the vast majority of people are celebrating because it is a public holiday celebrating the nation. Most are victims of circumstances and contingent outcomes. This disunity has been poorly handled by politicians who should have fixed this years ago with real action, not subtle sly messaging that only ensures people are distracted from the shocking job they are doing.

As an Australian I don't like holidays on days celebrating the actions of British people. Am I a traitor?

No.

Forcing people to celebrate on January 26…..sounds like the LNP are the communists

No one is forcing anyone to do anything, inaction is the issue.

For those who don't know, Dutton is the leader of the Liberal Party. The Liberals are the hecking based and tradpilled cuckservative party who totally won't sell off the soil under your feet to their mates or foreign actors. (Labor is no better).

Melbourne…

Naarm, if you prefer not to use the name of an English prime minister infamous as a nonce in his own lifetime.

Lot of downmarseys from people who prefer the English nonce.

You're weird

Probably what they said to the guy whose idea it was to name somewhere after an English nonce.

Ngl, that was funny 🤣

FFS, Again: it's not about the DAY it's the DATE. Everyone I know is totally in favour of Australia Day, most people I know just want the date changed. Mr Dutton could actually choose to go down the change the date track, but he doesn't do that, quite deliberately. He just can't recognise or have any empathy as to why the date is so fricking awful.

Whats wrong with the date?

Seriously. ok. I'll give you a clue..... Invasion and dispossession.

Did a bloody good job in just 200 years.

The slogan "Abolish the date" indicates some people want Australia Day itself abolished, rather than rescheduled.

Fricked if I know how you read that into a 3 word definitive statement. Abolish the date. Full stop. Nowhere in there does it mention abolishing Australia Day.

Sorry mate I couldnt find a gaybc or guardian article for you. Its funny how those companies tend not to report on things like this or at best spin in it a way that makes it out to be a good thing. But you already knew that. Tabloids you dont like printing facts you dont like it, doesn't make them untrue.

Such a mature and outstanding contribution

|

The guardian and the 'gaybc' as you so intelligently put it don't report on things like this, because it's billionaire-funded culture war BS that has successfully indoctrinated you into feeling enraged about a holiday that means nothing other than a day off for 90% of the population. I'm also extremely concerned that you genuinely believe a shitrag that reads at a primary-school level and literally takes its sources from right-wing think tanks is 'printing facts'. It's printing propaganda. And you have fallen for it.

Hey guys, person from Naarm here. Just want to acknowledge the custodians of this sub, past, present, and emerging on the sub in which we're posting. There is no need to thank us. We're just leading by example so that one day, even those red neck Queenslanders will see the error of their ways and join with us in protest to change the date. Yes we know, support for genocide is growing (as demonstrated by the evil Murdoch empire), but I assure you we will continue the fight alone by holding Invasion Day rallies with the usual "no pride in genocide", "always was, always will be", and the classic "sovereignty was never ceded" until 11:59pm and then do it again until next year on January 26th. Yes, we could protest all year about it, but unfortunately, we don't really want to complete with the pro-Palastinian protesters for the Sunday time slot all year and we also don't really care as long as we virtue signal harder than everyone else in this racist country. Flag burning starts at 5:30, you're welcome to join us.

This post needs gold guilding just for the tone alone, I stopped breathing for several seconds before the laughter orgasm.

Why does a UK news agency give a frick?

With a history of tacitly supporting Hitler and Mussolini, and a current readership of people who like xenophobia but can't spell it, it manages to get almost 9 million unique online visitors from Australian IP addresses, per month. This makes them money.

The tl;dr is a woman notices shit in her house is turning green and a r*dditor helps her find out it's because her husband is cheating with a woman that wears jeans.

NPReddit reports on it like it's in the news. All of the articles are slop just quoting the thread.

https://nypost.com/2025/01/30/lifestyle/a-woman-learned-of-her-husbands-infidelity-because-of-this-house-cleaning-mystery/

Most obvious reddit slop reddit shit I ever saw. Clearly trying to ape that ancient carbon-monoxide post.

Let's take a look:

• She found out he's cheating because she snooped through his phone and just by "chance" he had dm's on Instagram from a woman that "happened" to be wearing Old Navy jeans on her page. https://old.reddit.com/r/CleaningTips/comments/1i2htjj/update_everything_in_my_house_is_turning_green/

• She has nine fricking cats https://old.reddit.com/r/pacmanfrog/comments/1iag4zz/comment/m9azbwn/?context=8

A lot of people are mad that I talked to @Asmongold recently about Ashes of Creation. I can see all of your comments and messages about this through YouTube and here on Twitter.

In this instance another creator made a disparaging video about the game and Asmon didn't have enough… pic.twitter.com/vAI8ZUOMBM

A short recap from the last drama:

PS is a streamer/gamedev who has a lot of hate for his takes and is under kiwifarm crosshair for being a furry lolcow. Despite that, he is still fairly popular.

He plays WOW hardcore or something with his clan (or whatever in wow) OnlyFangs with are a bunch of streams apparently. This is a recipe for disaster.

In one of the WOW encounters that leave 2 permanent clan members dead, he has a dispute with his clan on stream because he ran away. Whether you agree with it or not, he is so unlikable during the stream everyone comes out and dunks on him. From a simple clan dispute, it turns into a massive drama in which people send him death threats for the lol. He takes it pretty badly and gets kicked out of the clan.

recap over

This time, he went into Asmongold stream to explain his situation. Needlessly to say, this cause a massive massive seethes from the leftoid

lets enjoy this

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.

Duet

A unscheduled spaceship asks for docking permission at DS9 and, in what seems to me a massively wasteful use of resources, Kira (second in command of the station remember) deals with the request. This is how she hears that the ship has an emergency case of Space AIDS (not really, obviously, but I just got done in the last post claiming that a 1970s British multi-instrumentalist and songwriter was murdering people in space so you'll forgive my lack of exact details). Only survivors of one of Cardassia's most awful mines during the occupation (which we will hitherto call Michigan Mine cos apparently the air quality was so bad it gave everyone AIDS). Kira skips down to the infirmary to greet a brave survivor of the occupation to be greeted by this cheeky chappie:

He's obviously one of the guards from the camp and, as Kira tearfully explains to Sisko, those guys did a few too many of the old Nanjing Massacre recreation activities during their time in Michigan. This one is called Maritza and is played by Harris Yulin, an incredibly prolific character actor- if you don't recognise the name you'd recognise his face from one of his many, many movie roles. I've always remembered him best for his role as the corrupt pig in Scarface who was cocky enough to think Tony Montana wouldn't shoot him:

Although Maritza claims to have a different sickness, Bashir confirms it's definitely Michigan AIDS and Kira goes all Simon Weistental in her quest to see him hang. Sisko's reluctance to bend the law in order to hold the man on circumstantial evidence threatens to cause a diplomatic incident with both the Bajorans and the Cardassians and he's forced to give Kira 26 hours (one Bajor day, remember) to wring a confession out of the guy.

Sisko gets a call from his predecessor Gul Dukat...

Remember him? Yeah this is only the second time he's appeared in the series, believe it or not. Season 2 will see him appear far more prominently but, until now, he really hasn't played a large role.

Now, the rest of the episode is basically a series of one-on-one interrogations where Kira tries to prove that Maritza was actually the commander of the camp and was therefore responsible for everything that happened there and Martiza both denies it openly but also implies she's right and mocks her for not being able to prove it. These scenes are largely played straight without much in the way of special effects, location changes or other cast getting in the way- hence 'Duet'.

It's very strong stuff and gives Nana Visitor a lot of chances to prove her acting chops (which are considerable- everyone's just going to have to accept that I am going to simp hard for Visitor from now on because she's hot and talented AND I LIKE HER HAIR OK? I have been traumatised in recent years by the genocide of tomboys and I like to return to the 90s when boyish girls were loved and cherished and not hoodwinked into cutting their tits off*).

This episode reminds me of TNG's 'The Measure of a Man' in as much as it's a strong script presented plainly with very strong performances without needing a bunch of expensive vidual effects or the fricking camera rolling around on a fricking skateboard like modern Trek. The ending is a bit contrived (Maritza turns out to be the camp clerk who was too scared to stop the atrocities and wants to set himself up as a great villain to provide the Bajorans with a sense of justice and to publicize the massacre across the quadrant to stop the Carsassian revisionist history from burying it- Kira goes from hating him to feeling pity for him) but the road there is well worth travelling and it does a lot to explore the Bajoran and Cardassian attitude to the occupation and their relationship with each other. Having established that he's actually innocent- and a Bajoran sympathiser to boot- Kira escorts Maritza to his ship but, along the way he is attacked and killed by a Bajoran- not because he was a war criminal but simply because he was a Cardassian.

Ahhhhhhh

No seriously- it's good. Just falls apart a bit at the end.

*This was a sperg out and I'm sorry. I'm going to remember that obssessing about trains helped elect Dumpf and his gaggle of neo-lib Jeet-entusiasts.

In the Hands of the Prophets

So last episode re-introduced Gul Dukat. Lets meet another one of the DS9 rogues' gallery for the finalé of Season 1...

Vedek Winn is a religious fundamentalist and one of two Vedeks (like bishops) in line to become the next Kai (like the pope). Literally the first thing she does upon arriving on the station is shut Keiko the frick up and shut down her stupid school.

So far she's a very sympathetic villain. Winn's issue with the school is that it's teaching the kids, specifically the Bajoran kids, that the Celestial Temple is just an artificial wormhole and the Prophets are merely aliens.

Now this is some real Star Trek shit. The general disdain for religion and the repeated debunking of supposed "Gods" has been a cornerstone of this show from it's earliest days.

DS9 would tackle things differently- the Prophets are, essentially, just very advanced aliens... one theory posits them as what the Bajorans will eventually become although this idea has some issues and also it's a rip-off of the ultimate fate of humanity in Babylon 5...

...but since when has DS9 ripping-off Babylon 5 ever been something new?

Anyway, as I was saying- although the Prophets are just aliens to the Federation, DS9's writers never undermine the religious beliefs of the Bajorans: they are gods to them and they literally do all the god shit that gods are supposed to do. Similarly, just because Winn is an extremist that doesn't mean her religion is entirely bad or wrong.

To compound Keiko's problems, Miles is finding himself quite enamoured of his Bajoran assistant. She has actually been in a couple of episodes before this one but here she's given a lot more to say and do- she's smart, competent and she keeps sticking her tits in his face all the time.

Anyway, after all the shit Winn's been stirring, someone bombs the ( by luck, empty) school...

Remember how I said Winn was one of the Vedeks in the running to be the next Kai? The other one is Vedek Bariel.

You may recognise Robert Anglim as the younger priest guy (who wasn't Richard Chamberlain) from The Thorn Birds. Maybe you don't- he was later in the series after Rachel Ward and Brian Brown weren't in it. Bariel is the moderate candidate and Sisko tries topersuade him to come to the station to try and offset the violence.

He eventually agrees and arranges a photo-op with Winn- "let us stand together against this violence" he says- when Tits McWrinklenose tries to shoot him but is intercepted by Sisko doing a slow motion dive. He even gives us a slow motion "NOOOOOOOOO!" when he does it which is pretty funny. I actually don't want to undermine this scene- it's a heck of a climax.

Ahhhhhhh

Note the Bajoran special-needs clapping as Bariel does his rock-star priest act.

OK straight off- Louise Fletcher as Winn is fricking amazing. The passive aggressive shit she pulled as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Works even better here where she ties it to smiley insincere religious doubletalk. I know the Oscars is bullshit, and I guess some of the schizo dramatards think the Academy a cabal of old libertarian Jews handing out awards for whatever shit they think will most destabilise the midwest, but Fletcher's Oscar deserves to be celebrated and is a badge of her talent. Let's just have a bit of that now...

Yeah, that's Brad Dourif- voice of Chucky and another Star Trek alumni.

Bajoran extremist shenanigans will kick off season 2 and Winn will be back in action, this time allying herself with multiple Tony Award winner Frank Langella (The Tony's are the stage Oscars but even more gay).

DS9 will return... maybe even in the new SciFi hole, who knows?

Ari clearly has the ick.

I can't get over Ari's hand She's posing like this is an annoying fan that wants a quick selfie, not the guy she fricked and destroyed two marriages to have.
