one of america's bad wars

So, all of them except when we swooped in at the end of WWII to take credit?
- Honestly, at this point, we should also stop giving the US any credit for WW2. Fuckers almost entered on the side of the Nazis, funded them while they gained power etc. They only entered the European stage because they know the USSR would steamroll from Berlin to London and create a continent-wide communist revolution and wanted to stop them.
  
  Fuck the USA, 100%, no exceptions.
  
  The only thing the US did right in WW2 was storm Normandy so we get a really cool beach map in video games. Operation Market Garden too since that's a parachute map with bridges.
  
  almost entered on the side of the Nazis
  
  Source? My understanding is that there was a vocal minority of businessmen and isolationists in congress, but saying the US “almost” joined the Axis seems a stretch.
  
  100% the US' direct involvement in WWII was really just part of the cold war
  
  Didn't Stalin say that the American lend lease was a major factor in the war with the Nazis? Like death to America, of course, but saying the USSR would have won without the Americans seems unlikely, at the very least it would have cost a hell of a lot more lives
I mean, blowing up half of a country and permanently occupying the other half seems pretty bad to me!
- B-but that was actually good because the bombs supported freedom in the region!
Woke DPRK
- They're still using the "SJW" thing? I thought it was replaced with "woke"?
  
  Something tells me Wilfred Riley isn't exactly on the cutting edge of conservative terminology
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
- more and more people are saying it
Korea: "YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, AMERICA!"
She thinks that America isn't fascist, but China is lol.
Dammit I thought it really was Tommy for a moment, it's the sunglasses.
I've met Tommy a couple of times. I have no idea what to make of him, but it would still upset me to find out he was a reactionary, even if it is likely to be true.

His new movie, Big Shark, is hilariously dumb and I love it
Dudes a landlord, why is anyone surprised?
writer and game designer. liberal, progressive liberal, neonliberal. associate editor at liberal currents. she/her.

we're reaching levels of liberalism that shouldn't be possible
- Do I want to know what "neonliberal" means?
  
  It's when you want cyberpunk to be real
  
  I have to assume it is some rancid nerd bullshit. Like "oh I'm a liberal and also an new urbanist and I think we can do free markets but also have a strong social safety net!"
read a fucking book
Didn't life in Germany suck after the fall of the Berlin wall even?
- Depends on which part you mean. In east germany it improved, because they finally had access to bananas and better cars. In west germany they already had access to bananas and the best cars in the world so not much changed for them (cant improve on perfection).
  
  Country is better if more bananas and cars. The more the bananas and cars the more progress towards perfection.
I got so excited about the prospect of a Tommy Wisseau directed take on the Korean zwar
Did the lives of people living in ex-Soviet countries improve after the fall of the Berlin Wall?
Because the entirety of the Cold War was a waste of time at best
Tommy Wisaeu taking your position is it’s own dunk
