Bulletins and News Discussion from September 16th to September 22nd, 2024 - This Megathread Is Dedicated To The Brave Mujahideen Fighters of Afghanistan - COTW: Afghanistan
  • When people told me they hated dying in a nuclear holocaust or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love dying in a nuclear holocaust. I am in awe of it. I am set free by it. It will be the finest event our galaxy has ever seen.”

  • Bulletins and News Discussion from August 5th to August 11th, 2024 - LGBT - COTW: Iraq
  • "The Israeli military has admitted that the munition that struck a highway near Nahariya in Western Galilee, critically injuring one settler, was an Iron Dome interceptor missile that malfunctioned."

    Critical support for the Zionist entity in the struggle against the Zionist entity.

  • What in the fuck is going on with BadEmpanada?
  • Those numbers are actually very boring because it's just someone taking the estimated, rounded percentages and extrapolating using the total number of votes.

    There is zero reason to do this. What are the estimates based on? Why estimate percentages at all? Just count the votes and give us the corresponding percentages. You're telling me they knew the exact total number of votes but not the exact number of votes each candidate got? But somehow still had enough information to estimate percentages closely matching the final results? Why is everyone pretending this is not weird lol.

    I even double checked where the numbers came from, thinking maybe a journalist calculated them from the CNE's percentages or something. But no, the CNE straight up officially said Maduro got 5,150,092 votes. They also don't give the total number of votes, meaning that number was obtained by adding up the results given by the CNE, and not the other way around as you suggested.

    You're right that US elections are a sham. If the 2020 Iowa caucus happened in a Latin American country the international-community-1international-community-2 would have done their usual seriously-concerned-about-the-legitimacy-of-this-election routine. That's irrelevant to whether Maduro cheated or not though.

  • What in the fuck is going on with BadEmpanada?
  • those numbers were probably obtained using the percentages, not the other way around

    Well yeah, that's my point, that's extremely suspicious. The numbers given by the CNE were supposedly the exact number of votes counted so far, that's how election results are presented everywhere. Why would they have access to the total percentages but not the vote count? How would the percentages even be known without also knowing the exact number of votes each candidate got?

  • What in the fuck is going on with BadEmpanada?
  • I feel like a lot of us here struggle to reconcile that

    A) the US has a long history of using "freedom and democracy" as a purely cynical, hypocritical and often straight up false (they called Allende a tyrant lmao) excuse for imperialism

    and B) sometimes anti-imperialist leaders really are undemocratic, partially as a defense mechanism against imperialist aggression and partially because they aren't very good leaders and their incompetence leads to popular discontent (which is further exploited by imperialists to the point that it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins)

    I guess what I'm saying is you can be glad Maduro didn't get couped and replaced with Venezuelan Javier Milei, you can be 100% against sanctions and cynical US attempts to "democratize" Venezuela, but you don't need to pretend like there was nothing suspicious about this election. Just look at the vote counts released by the CNE on July 29 I mean come on lol, bro is regimemaxxing with these percentages

  • Great choice guys
  • At this point I wouldn't trust melon-musk to boil a pot of water. He would say stoves are "stupid" and come up with something that turns the water lukewarm and fills your kitchen with mustard gas.

    Bulletins and News Discussion from July 8th to July 14th, 2024 - Nevertheless, He Persisted
  • You heard him last night, he was not incoherent. Apparently this morning he was not incoherent.

    Good news everyone, the literal President of the United States was not incoherent last night nor, apparently, this morning. As you can see, there's nothing to worry about.

  • You like r/ChapoTrapHouse?

    !chad-trotsky - Um, they're ok.

    !huey-lewis - Their early work was a little too liberal for my taste. But when ChapoChat came out in '20, I think they really came into their own, politically and artistically. The whole site has a pig, poop balls, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the posts a big boost. They've been compared to Lemmygrad, but I think CTH has a far more silly, strigine sense of humor.

    !chad-trotsky - Hey, Halberstram?

    !huey-lewis - Yes, Trotsky?

    !chad-trotsky - Why are there Stan Kelly sickos all over the place? Do you... Do you have a cat? A little indoor cat or something?

    !huey-lewis !purge-2 - No, Trotsky!

    !chad-trotsky - Is that a Stalin emote?

    !huey-lewis - Yes it is! In '21, the chapos released this: Hexbear, their most accomplished site. I think their undisputed masterpiece is c/badposting. A comm so shitty, most people probably don't look at the posts. But they should, because it's not just about tactical diaper bags and AI art of Godzilla holding pregnant Henry Cavill, it's also a personal statement about the posters themselves!

    Hey, Trotsky!

    !pika-pickaxe Try sending in a silly letter now, you fucking stupid bastard!

    You keep saying that which is ironically quite a childish position.

    "Stop bombing children" "stop bombing children"

    Communists: I want the workers of the world to fight together to overthrow capitalism and create a classless society

    Fascists: I want everyone in the same country, rich and poor alike, to accept their place in the hierarchy and do their part to protect our Glorious Nation™ from foreigners. Seriously you guys, I can't stress enough how much I hate communism and want literally the exact opposite of what they want. Surely nobody will ever lump us-
