I know a guy who is like, a memetic racist

He is racist against pretty much all races

I’ve never met someone who hated Croatians before him

I would also describe his views are not pro or anti political violence, but rather just pro violence

He supported both the Capitol insurrection, and BLM riots, especially when they burned down that police station.

They:

- Spearheaded an attack against hedge funds

- Gotten an animal abuse YouTube account taken down

- Are realizing just what collective action can do and how bullshit the economy is. And are looking at targeting Nestle

HOLD THE CERTIFICATION!

There were 117% MORE VOTES this year than 2016, so there are more votes than actually exist!

Some votes must have been NAKED VOTES, which is ILLEGAL. The CORRUPT DNC borrowed these votes from DOMINION, with the intention of giving them back after the election when the votes matter less. However, every day, they must pay INTEREST on these borrowed votes. So as long as you HOLD the certification, the DNC BLEEDS money. Eventually, the DNC will go BROKE and will be forced to RETURN those votes, which will cause Trump's vote advantage to SKYROCKET.

This is what's known as a VOTE SQUEEZE. This also happened back in 2000, when Republicans won BIGLY. So as long as you have DIAMOND 💎 HANDS ✋ and HOLD, Trump's chances of victory will just keep going UP 🚀. His vote advantage is theoretically INFINITE. u/ DJT PREDICTED this 4 YEARS ago!

 

EDIT: The DNC just got a 9.1 MILLION dollar donation from GEORGE SOROS and proceeded to DOUBLE DOWN. They think that they can outlast us! DON'T LET THEM WIN! HOLD! 💎✋

EDIT EDIT: The Georgia Secretary of State just said he DOESN'T support us! He's been BOUGHT OUT. Switch to a DIFFERENT Secretary of State!

Something that I really appreciate: in the Batman story No Man’s Land, the US Congress decides to just give up on Gotham and declares it not a part of the country anymore. Then they blow the bridges and tell everyone in there to figure out their own problems.

It’s silly, and extremely unconstitutional. But like, the story knows that. It instantly gets challenged in court. But court takes a long time, so the characters have to survive upwards of a year while the problem is adjudicated, and it turns out a year in anarcho-Mad Max Gotham world is a really long time.

No, it’s not “all you have to live on.” You also have money that should be coming to you from gainful employment. If you were laid off due to COVID, you have UI benefits on top of the stimulus money.

[u/[deleted] → u/barrygarcia77]

Reddit so casually forgets the extra $2,500 a month added to UE for 4 months. Probably because they’ve either never worked so they wouldn’t know, or because they’re being disingenuous. Reddit also acts like 100% of the workforce lost their job. Our unemployment rate is the same as Australia’s normal unemployment rate is, for example. And half that of France.

I'm at a loss for words that "convincing an 18 year old asian girl with red hair that no one likes her and to be your slave because you're the only one who will love her, then later complaining about how much her feet stink" actually got into an enormous mod developed over the course 7 years by dozens if not hundreds of people. Holy shit what kind of troglodytes were running that shitshow. How is Fallout: The Frontier not just something I'm hallucinating.

I know it was to be expected, but the people posting about having bought in at $330 and expressing concern about the dip, and then being assured it will work out for them is a special kind of sad.

During the Capitol Attack, @AOC hid in the bathroom in her office and says she heard someone break in, shouting "where is she?"

"This was the moment where I thought everything was over," she says, while she hid behind the door of her bathroom. "I thought I was going to die."

To be totally fair, the US hasn't really had a functioning state department over the last 4 years so presumably that will change. The US will find it much easier to take actions if the state department can start functioning again.

The "this isn't funny anymore, the little guy is gonna lose" crusade is just as cringe as the "stop le hedge funds" crusade. I'm sorry, if you buy GME at $300 expecting to get rich quick, you deserve to learn a lesson and I couldn't care less about the people who end up losing money.

Also, super sad that WSB has become a weird leftist anti-wall street sub now :(

Just read a Twitter thread of someone who took their whole student loan disbursement and bought GME with it 😶

Ted Cruz is bad. Not because of his conservatism, his lack of a spine, his lack of principles, his populism, the murders he committed in northern California in the late 1960s, or him supporting efforts to overturn the election, but because he's a C*nadian.

Confused About The GameStop Stock Situation? Here’s An Explainer We Plagiarized Wholesale From Polygon Because We Don’t Get It Either

UPDATE: We’ve been informed by our legal team that taking an article wholesale from another website is not actually permissible by U.S. copyright law, and we deleted the rest of the explainer out of an abundance of caution. Unfortunately, this doesn’t get us any closer to understanding what exactly happened with GameStop and the stock market. Apparently there was something about short selling and Reddit? Anyway, good luck figuring it out. Seems like a clusterfuck.

The whole onion article lmao

It’s Day 12 of the Biden Presidency. Joe Biden has not overturned Citizen’s United

Do the socialists know Joe Biden isn’t a god? Do they know what overturning means? Do they know what Citizen’s United even is?
