The gun deaths in Japan are not even comparable to the incidents in places likes America. These are all firearm related incidents in Japan from 2012-2021 (excluding suicides/accidents). I am not saying it's okay, but the number of incidents in 2021 alone would probably be just a week in a city...

That's because both are insurgent candidates who somehow miraculously got into a leadership position. Of course being weak leaders themselves they had to use compromised supporters. Boris had people like Pincher and Paterson and Starscream had the Combaticons.

Cellphone grade photos of most of the book: it's a She-Ra-He-Man/TF crossover https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv5837533 Also this site has second hand copies from various sellers, but I guess they only ship within China...

Oh please. Obama was even more culpable than Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush II. He tried to anoint Hillary as his successor and that backfired spectacularly with Trump winning the election and flipping the court. Outside of Clinton and Trump, he is the person most responsible for this disaster. Not to...

I never doubted him. We have been fucked since Trump was elected.

Clarence Thomas's nomination was probably his fault since he was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and there was the whole Anita Hill allegations against Thomas that could have sunk him. I mean Biden does shoulder some blame there along with his current refusal to expand the current...

Aren't you an American? How is that any different? It's pretty hypocritical to condemn Jews trying to flee anti-Semitism/Pogroms/the Holocaust while you pretty much live on the land genocided from the Native people. At least Israel only displaced the former inhabitants compared to outright...

a) Those are members of the communist party, which is basically has become an umbrella party for dissenters and covers everything to anti-mandate anti-vaxxers to people who want to stop the war. b) The people dying in the war are the poor and ethnic minorities from the outlying regions (aka...

More like to protect themselves. We have seen plenty of times that they don't care about the law.

It was literally one of the designer's kids who wanted more poseability that apparently convinced them to do this. The production committees are really out of touch in regards to toys. Edit: To give you an example Shirakura who is in his late 50s when asking for how to make sentai robots...

The Dems simply lack the sort of political organization and coordination and resources that the GOP has in term of media control/party control/political operatives. Dems are constantly imo being outmaneuvered due to the latter. What the GOP has accomplished was many years in the making. The...

I'm just pointing out voting isn't as useful or the end all be all that people on the internet are making it out to be. If you look at it in totally strategic terms, voting for the left is entirely defensive to shore up and maintain a crumbling status quo and it's not working. However the...

11 elections if we count Bush II as the start of this crapfest. Voting is pretty much useless. I have voted in at least 8 of them and I haven't gotten one non-Republican governor, senator or rep for my efforts because I live in a gerrymandered red state.

It gets worse. All public media organs are controlled by the Kremlin and the major channels like Russia-1 are the equivalent of "Foxnews on steroids". Any independent media have been labelled as foreign agents due to all media funding within Russia being tied to the Kremlin. The major social...

For all his talk about European imperialism/post-colonialism, he doesn't seem to get that Russia was and is a colonial power that never really decolonized. Why did all the Baltic States and former Warsaw Pact Nations including Orban's Hungary jump on the NATO bandwagon as soon as possible even...

Boris knows his legacy is going to be "lockdown parties" if he doesn't change the script and he has studied/idolized Churchill enough that if you get the "book" out first, you get to shape the narrative for generations to come.

The people who get conscripted are either ethnic minorities or the poorest Russians from the most underdeveloped places. Anyone with resources or intelligence is going to dodge the draft or bribe their way out. This is probably why there's so much support for the war and why Putin can continue...

About what you'd expect from a invasion that publicly intended to solve the "Ukrainian Question" and an army that has institutionalized serial abuse and hazing issues (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedovshchina). So the Wehrmacht and Imperial Japanese Army rolled into one, but with none of their...

These claims that Putin is increasingly isolated and misled are from US intelligence (https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/03/30/world/putin-is-being-misled-by-advisers-ukraine-us-intelligence-determines/). It's pretty clear that they have been reading Putin like a book since before the invasion...
