    Conservatives don’t care about truth or consistency. When they bullshit, and you get mad, it gets them off. Because what are you going to do about it? Nothing. You’re weak (in their mind).

      They have an obsession with strength. As someone who isn’t competitive, I don’t really care. A lot on the right are deeply insecure. What I do is turn it around and go for the jugular-- psychoanalyse them. You go far deeper under their skin and they will be madder than they hope you would be by their own trolling.

    Wouldn’t he be Persia in this pic since the flag held by the Spartans says “This is Iran” instead of “This is Sparta” implying they’re representing Iran rather than America, and he’s the only one dressed differently, implying he’s not with them, so then the Americans must be the Persians?

    I’m sure it has nothing to do with AI being dogshit and him being too dumb to have noticed that, it must be on purpose.

      He is currently the highest position of the military. I think he counts as a vet, technically

        I thought being Commander in Chief gave him authority as a civilian. But I’ll be honest… never looked into it. Though, even if I’m right… the guy has 34 felonies so far… not like this would really matter to him at this point.

    Well, many of the Spartans were pedophiles, and their economy depended on slavery, so perhaps this is appropriate.

    I don’t get it. “This is Iran”? So the Spartans are the ones he’s fighting against but he’s with Leonidas? He’s then going to kill the heroes, or he’s fighting on the side that loses valiantly?

    What a twit. Has people generating shit that he then promotes that makes no sense.

      Imagine being one of the diplomats/negotiators from the US and seeing this meme.

      “Is he asking them to execute us after offering our terms?”

    Now pay attention to this meaningless social media nonsense while the government does nothing to prepare for or help as a hurricane is on course to fuck our shit up, because they’re too busy blowing up schools, hospitals, and aide workers.

    This is propaganda, stop fucking feeding it.

      “To oppose something is to maintain it. They say here “all roads lead to [this city].” To be sure, if you turn your back on [this city] and walk away from it, you are still on the [city’s] road. To oppose vulgarity is inevitably to be vulgar. You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk in a different road.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
