Well also the admiralty was paranoid about it being sunk so it basically never left the Japanese home islands. Personally I think the Bismarck is a better comparison, especially since it was more or less taken out by a swordfish an aging plane design with way too many names taken.

Lost of splinters and cells scattered around the Muslim world as I understand it, but the amount of ranges between major insurgent army to dumbfuck backwoods militia.

Who the fuck let Sigmund Freud into the Christmas party?

Y’know it’s shit like this that will ultimately destroy the power of the feds. As they become less and less relevant to folks daily lives and unreliable on top of that eventually people just aren’t gonna listen.

They were used for artillery along coastal regions, while not exactly the designated purpose of such ships it was highly effective. But yeah it was basically the last hoora of an aging design that had already started to become obsolete.

They were actually still worthwhile up into Korea but the Korean war is the weird middle child between WW2 and Vietnam that everyone forgets about.

Shut up, then eat shit and die.

Aye that’s the spirit.

Probably better to keep California, Washington and Oregon independent and to instead try to setup something like the schengen zone for California, Washington, Oregon, Mexico, Canada, and whatever East Coast regions join up. Mind you I am highly biased as a Californian nationalist and much like the nationalists of the 1800s who wished to bring down the old empires I really don’t want to be ruled by some dickhead on the other side of the continent.

We could always just purge the fascist filth or at least reduce them to the fucking cavemen. Collateral is my favorite type of damage!

She’s only two years older than me? The fuck, I thought she was a very rough 30 something.

The Norks have quite literally done data breaches and major hacks via this exact method in the past. They basically have nothing to lose on the international level so they do this and then trade it to countries like China or Russia for whatever it is they want. If they didn’t have a documented history of doing shit like that nobody would assume espionage.

If they didn’t have a known tendency towards weird espionage shit going back to the 50 and 60s nobody would care, but they do have a known tendency towards doing weird espionage shit.

It kinda is, its practically a requirement for a lot of corporate espionage and a lot of spies have entire lives alongside their spy duties. Also fun joke I’ve heard about Vladivostok during the Cold war, “There were surprisingly only a handful of people in that city, American spies, Soviet counter intelligence, smugglers, cargo movers, and baristas who ignored the whole mess” heard that from an ex-CIA guy who was doing a talk at a spy exhibit back when I was a kid.

Eh Chomsky has always been a bastard IMO. Fun fact I first came across his name when doing research on the Cambodian genocide in middle school (I was that kid who chose the worst things to write about in open ended essays) wherein he sided with the fucking Khmer Rouge. Seriously the one fucking time siding with the Soviet Union is the correct choice and you align yourself with the fucking Khmer Rouge.

In the defense of Heinlein all his books are weird regardless of the politics within, looking at you Stranger from a strange land. Seriously that whole book goes from Heinleins vaguely horny thought experiment to psychic sex cult real fucken quick, also why do I get the feeling Heinlein and Roddenberry shared a surprising number of friends.

Technically the US has been in a near constant state of war since it’s founding if you include the various Indian wars, and I’m not talking about just the big ones like with Little Bighorn I’m including the small guerilla wars that basically devolved into banditry. I think there were a handful of small gaps but usually those only lasted a year or two.

Because a solid percentage of the country quite literally wants women barefoot and pregnant, with another solid percentage following along with them because something something taxes something something jerbs.

Need? No. Want? Yes.

Pour one out for John C Woods, don’t know if he was shitty in general but making Nazis suffer is always acceptable. Will probably listen to the behind the bastards video later I guess.

Personally I’d rather see her choke to death via being hanged. Would be a rather fitting end for one of these wannabe klansmen, also it’s how the Nazis were executed though they were given the mercy of having their necks snapped. I do not believe in mercy for pissants like these.
