    Statistically speaking (and assuming you’re an American) you are an overweight 40-something hermaphrodite with some college education, who has 1.8 children and is going to die of congestive heart failure.

    There are three kinds of untruth. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

    Well I could show you my gun collection but at this point I’m fairly certain that you would just shit yourself in fear.

    Anyway, have fun being unarmed with the state of the world today. The far right will continue stockpiling weapons and you’ll be knocking on the doors of guys like me if and when they finally decide to use them.

    That’s the thing that you’re not getting bud. The far right isn’t going to be using their guns against the military or the government. They’re going to be using the guns against us.

    Yes, proles. Give up your only means of fighting back. We promise your right to vote is strong enough to protect you from anything. The government that can’t keep its own cops under control will save you. Trust big brother.

    Fucking delusional.

    Along with basically every Asian and middle eastern country, several European and African countries, and a few South American countries. There are a lot of ethnostates in the world.

    In fact, I’d say most countries outside of the EU/the anglosphere are a lot closer to being ethnostates than they are to being any sort of cosmopolitan melting pot.

    But most of them have been that way for a long time so people just accept it.

    Ok, you got me, only 90% of the countries in the region are exponentially worse, two of them are just worse on a strictly linear scale.

    Yes I think countries that routinely decapitate gay people, beat women to death with rocks for not wearing the right hat, condone or at the very least ignore the rape of women and children, and cut peoples hands off for shoplifting, whose atrocities only can’t be called genocide because it’s the same ethnic group killing each other, are worse than Israel, didn’t realize that was such a hot take. I’m not saying Israel is good, I’m just saying the US, along with most of Europe, has chosen to back the one country in the region that at least pretends to have western values.

    Every president the US has had since 1948 has financed and supported Israel, with the full support of congress, regardless of what rhetoric those congressmen are spewing in the run-up to an election year. Congress sets the budget, and they sign off on giving Israel money every single year so don’t act like this is just Biden throwing money at them.

    Every president after Biden will continue to do so as well. Israel is shitty but every other country in the region is exponentially shittier. That being said, I’m not happy with the way this is being handled either, but don’t pretend like Biden is handling things any differently than every president for the last 80 years - with the possible exception of Jimmy Carter - would have done.

    The people calling the EU the fourth reich are the same people that will unironically say that Hitler wasn’t so bad, and actually did some good things for Germany. They’re right up there with the people that call Biden “Genocide Joe” despite the fact that he has never committed genocide against anybody, and then talk about how great Stalin and Mao were.


  • I mean when 70% of the public doesn’t use a computer for anything more demanding than streaming Netflix, office work, and paying bills 8gb is plenty. Sure the base model MacBook Air is still $1000 but for that you get a better screen, an exponentially better operating system than windows, an all aluminum case, and a machine that will still be in good shape 10 years from now. Hell my home computer is a 2014 MacBook Pro and performance wise that thing will still go toe to toe with windows machines built much more recently lol.

    Can you get a similarly performing windows machine for less? Sure, if and only if by similar performance you mean you are only looking at processing power. Cuz it’ll be a cheap plastic piece of shit with a clunky os full of bloatware that you have to fiddlefuck around with to get it back to how you want it every time they push out a software update. And you’ll be lucky if it’s still running 5 years from now. Buy a MacBook, take it out of the box, and you’re done. That’s worth a lot to a lot of people.
