copypasta

You suck. You're an idiot. You are lost in your ignorance like a pig wandering in a mud wallow. Your mind is like a bramble patch, full of thorns and briars to impede any thought that might enter. Your ears are like a hollow log, unable to comprehend the words and sound from without. Your soul is like a broken bone, unable to feel the pain of enlightenment or to walk a path of righteousness. Like a fly buzzing around a dead carcass, you flit between folly and foolishness, lacking the knowledge and discernment to move forward. Fuck you genocider.

Because you fantasize, about me streaming with you playing Street Fighter, while I'm playing Urien, while I have respectful matches with you, while I go down to get my streaming gear. While I put you in my room, where you can get that positive energy out, you're not forced to keep it in, you're not forced to hold back your motivating feelings. Then I hit the "Start Streaming" button, all for the stream to go live on Twitch, and to the point where you're just caught in an eternity- you're just caught in an eternity of happy emotions and feel good vibes erupting out of your soul.

The left has misunderstood what my intention was in posting this meme. I am taking about the road warrior collapse that has already begun because of the policy’s of The Great Reset. I am taking about Cannibalism as defined as the consumption of another human's flesh. 10 days without food and over 80% of people start eating each other. You guys want to bring down civilization so I just wanted to warn you. Good luck…

I teach a class at Stanford Business School titled “Financial Crises in the U.S. and Europe.” During one class session while explaining the events of September 2008, I kept referring to the efforts of the threesome of Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, and Tim Geithner, who were joined at the hip in dealing with firm-specific problems as they arose.

One of my students asked “How involved was President Bush with what was going on?” I smiled and responded, “What you really mean is, ‘Was President Bush smart enough to understand what was going on,’ right?”

The class went dead silent. Everyone knew that this was the true meaning of the question. Kudos to that student for asking the hard question and for framing it so politely. I had stripped away that decorum and exposed the raw nerve.

I looked hard at the 60 MBA students and said “President Bush is smarter than almost every one of you.”

More silence. I could tell they were waiting for me to break the tension, laugh, and admit I was joking. I did not. A few shifted in their seats, then I launched into a longer answer. While it was a while ago, here is an amalgam of that answer and others I have given in similar contexts.

I am not kidding. You are quite an intelligent group. Don’t take it personally, but President Bush is smarter than almost every one of you. Were he a student here today, he would consistently get “HP” (High Pass) grades without having to work hard, and he’d get an “H” (High, the top grade) in any class where he wanted to put in the effort.

For more than six years it was my job to help educate President Bush about complex economic policy issues and to get decisions from him on impossibly hard policy choices. In meetings and in the briefing materials we gave him in advance we covered issues in far more depth than I have been discussing with you this quarter because we needed to do so for him to make decisions.

President Bush is extremely smart by any traditional standard. He’s highly analytical and was incredibly quick to be able to discern the core question he needed to answer. It was occasionally a little embarrassing when he would jump ahead of one of his Cabinet secretaries in a policy discussion and the advisor would struggle to catch up. He would sometimes force us to accelerate through policy presentations because he so quickly grasped what we were presenting.

I use words like briefing and presentation to describe our policy meetings with him, but those are inaccurate. Every meeting was a dialogue, and you had to be ready at all times to be grilled by him and to defend both your analysis and your recommendation. That was scary.

We treat Presidential speeches as if they are written by speechwriters, then handed to the President for delivery. If I could show you one experience from my time working for President Bush, it would be an editing session in the Oval with him and his speechwriters. You think that me cold-calling you is nerve-wracking? Try defending a sentence you inserted into a draft speech, with President Bush pouncing on the slightest weakness in your argument or your word choice.

In addition to his analytical speed, what most impressed me were his memory and his substantive breadth. We would sometimes have to brief him on an issue that we had last discussed with him weeks or even months before. He would remember small facts and arguments from the prior briefing and get impatient with us when we were rehashing things we had told him long ago.

And while my job involved juggling a lot of balls, I only had to worry about economic issues. In addition to all of those, at any given point in time he was making enormous decisions on Iraq and Afghanistan, on hunting al Qaeda and keeping America safe. He was making choices not just on taxes and spending and trade and energy and climate and health care and agriculture and Social Security and Medicare, but also on education and immigration, on crime and justice issues, on environmental policy and social policy and politics. Being able to handle such substantive breadth and depth, on such huge decisions, in parallel, requires not just enormous strength of character but tremendous intellectual power. President Bush has both.

On one particularly thorny policy issue on which his advisors had strong and deep disagreements, over the course of two weeks we (his senior advisors) held a series of three 90-minute meetings with the President. Shortly after the third meeting we asked for his OK to do a fourth. He said, “How about rather than doing another meeting on this, I instead tell you now what each person will say.” He then ran through half a dozen of his advisors by name and precisely detailed each one’s arguments and pointed out their flaws. (Needless to say there was no fourth meeting.)

Every prominent politician has a public caricature, one drawn initially by late-night comedy joke writers and shaped heavily by the press and one’s political opponents. The caricature of President Bush is that of a good ol’ boy from Texas who is principled and tough, but just not that bright.

That caricature was reinforced by several factors:

The press and his opponents highlighted President Bush’s occasional stumbles when giving a speech. President Obama’s similar verbal miscues are ignored. Ask yourself: if every public statement you made were recorded and all your verbal fumbles were tweeted, how smart would you sound? Do you ever use the wrong word or phrase, or just botch a sentence for no good reason? I know I do. President Bush intentionally aimed his public image at average Americans rather than at Cambridge or Upper East Side elites. Mitt Romney’s campaign was predicated on “I am smart enough to fix a broken economy,” while George W. Bush’s campaigns stressed his values, character, and principles rather than boasting about his intellect. He never talked about graduating from Yale and Harvard Business School, and he liked to lower expectations by pretending he was just an average guy. Example: “My National Security Advisor Condi Rice is a Stanford professor, while I’m a C student. And look who’s President. ” There is a bias in much of the mainstream press and commentariat that people from outside of NY-BOS-WAS-CHI-SEA-SF-LA are less intelligent, or at least well educated. Many public commenters harbor an anti-Texas (and anti-Southern, and anti-Midwestern) intellectual bias. They mistakenly treat John Kerry as smarter than George Bush because John Kerry talks like an Ivy League professor while George Bush talks like a Texan. President Bush enjoys interacting with the men and women of our armed forces and with elite athletes. He loves to clear brush on his ranch. He loved interacting with the U.S. Olympic Team. He doesn’t windsurf off Nantucket, he rides a 100K mountain bike ride outside of Waco with wounded warriors. He is an intense, competitive athlete and a “guy’s guy.” His hobbies and habits reinforce a caricature of a [dumb] jock, in contrast to cultural sophisticates who enjoy antiquing and opera. This reinforces the other biases against him. I assume that some who read this will react automatically with disbelief and sarcasm. They think they know that President Bush is unintelligent because, after all, everyone knows that. They will assume that I am wrong, or blinded by loyalty, or lying. They are certain that they are smarter than George Bush.

I ask you simply to consider the possibility that I’m right, that he is smarter than you. If you can, find someone who has interacted directly with him outside the public spotlight. Ask that person about President Bush’s intellect. I am confident you will hear what I heard dozens of times from CEOs after they met with him: “Gosh, I had no idea he was that smart.”

At a minimum I hope you will test your own assumptions and thinking about our former President. I offer a few questions to help that process.

Upon what do you base your view of President Bush’s intellect? How much is it shaped by the conventional wisdom about him? How much by verbal miscues highlighted by the press? Do you discount your estimate of his intellect because he’s from Texas or because of his accent? Because he’s an athlete and a ranch owner? Because he never advertises that he went to Yale and Harvard? This is a hard one, for liberals only. Do you assume that he is unintelligent because he made policy choices with which you disagree? If so, your logic may be backwards. “I disagree with choice X that President Bush made. No intelligent person could conclude X, therefore President Bush is unintelligent.” Might it be possible that an intelligent, thoughtful conservative with different values and priorities than your own might have reached a different conclusion than you? Do you really think your policy views derive only from your intellect? And finally, if you base your view of President Bush’s intellect on a public image and caricature shaped by late night comedians, op-ed writers, TV pundits, and Twitter, is that a smart thing for you to do?

"Hey man, can I get a hand with this real quick?"

Everything traditionally regarded as typical about James' posture, followed by his gait, followed by his usual diction and within reason his voice, would become deliberately unaltered within roughly the same duration occupied by the question in asking.

He somehow rose to an even taller stature than Mohammad could recall having observed anytime prior, before instantly walking with an efficiency that appeared swift visually—albeit at a measurably slow rate of travel, in fact comically so, and having predetermined both the slow walk and the illusion of speed consciously. He began to close upon his general vicinity, or something approaching that. It was equally as obvious, as every individual detail respecting the inordinately abrasive and functionally instantaneous total abandon of his known self had just become, that he was not approaching Mohammad directly because he didn't want to. It became immediately self evident that the dominant, commanding authority, the unmodified presence of whom proved sufficient for the consumption of all attention made available to him, was James. The "James," with whom anyone then familiar to both Mohammad and James was familiar as well, was born from an exhaustive alternate persona of James' own design and the performance of its intended function. "James" did not actually exist.

All the while directing his gaze, continually, to the effect that his colleague remained barely outside the fringe of his vision, or barely within the periphery, or call it whatever you will, he… eventually… stood somewhat close. Within a single digit matter of seconds, James had effectively conveyed his true demeanor by demonstration. His overall physical presence, behavior, or what have you, had for all practical purposes been revealed as they were meant to be, at long last; his real character having been exposed, of his own volition, in the form of coherent analogy to some character embodied by some bad guy in some cartoon; his paces meeting the floor as menacingly as he knew how, and to that end, commiting adequate bodyweight to each step as slowly as he knew how to walk without standing still, simply because that's how the real James actually walked; the sundry of other minute details that wouldn't necessarily mean anything without supporting the rest of the act that's not an act… The assumption of the role of himself properly, regarded as a whole, served to facilitate the animation of the real cartoon villain James in all three directions through space. It was almost as if he were building a nearly self-aware level of suspense, just for maximum irony, only for the hyperbole of tension amassed to have set up no payoff at all climactic; just so he could finally deliver some theoretically eye-roll inducing monologue outside all existing context, just to describe his own relevance to the plot almost literally through exposition ostensibly unwarranted. No matter how much it may have appeared that way, however, I'm quite afraid that the twist is that there is no twist because, uh, yeah: that is exactly what happened.

"Before either of us say anything else, I'm going to lay down a very specific set of ground rules that shall, beginning this instant and withstanding incessantly for as long as time should persist, usurp all accountability and oversight but their own—not only on principle, but more importantly because they have to if only as a technical matter. The conditions I hold imperative are as follows: that we, including you and also including me, are to actively avoid the violation of anyone's privacy to the extent that's realistically feasible—again, not only on principle, but more importantly because we have to if only as a technical matter. Moreover, it should further stand to reason that neither of us, to the exclusion of both you and me, are ever at liberty to affect anyone and/or anything, in any way illegal under normal circumstances, unless and until said person and/or the owner of said property shall have explicitly requested execution according to such procedure, and particularly described the intended result thereof with a level of precision that is objectively reasonable given the nature of said request, and likewise the exact methodologies requested for the production of said outcome, and so on and so forth, and whatnot. Are all of the aforementioned conditions heard, and understood, and acknowledged, and mutually agreed upon without room for exception …Mr. Wang?"

Mohammad paused for just long enough, while simultaneously not pausing for too long by any means, in order for the total length of his pause to subsequently deliver his response behind the closest thing humanly attainable to perfection in terms of comedic timing. He then said—at an amplitude subjectively perceived by the listener as roughly half-way between that of screaming most highly corrosive against basic sanity, and that of whispering barely intelligible—and with no tone whatsoever, and without so much as an inflection that would've meant something in a conventional sense…

"Bruh."

You are a Swiftie. Bitch, you live in Nevada. You are a poster. You need to give your fucking landlord the rent. Your fucking streaming services, you have 15 streaming services. You've never logged off. You literally just saw Drake’s penis. You've never worn a high-quality mask. Motherfucker, you have Long COVID. You are dying. You've had 40 Stanleys, 3 of them are lead-free. 2 of them got sold to a post-hipster thrift store.

Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the old age of 36. You fucking can't disengage. You don't know what self-care is. If you were transported into 1320, you would be the worst farmer of all time. You don't know shit. You literally probably don't even know what the direction 'left' is. I'm sure some contemporary guy is gonna get mad at me for this- Bitch, I’ve BEEN outside. I've watched the Super Bowl, which someone on my niche leftist forum probably calls the 'Pooper Bowel', which I think is a bad joke but a funny thing to call it.

Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get past that. You gotta be unemotional (and I know I’m not being a great display of that myself). You can't sink into your co-living rental. You live in an ugly cheap plastic apartment. Your job is to crawl up the ladder, motherfucker. You live in the POD. You're in the POD. You are a RAT. And the rat, when they’re in the pod gets FUCKED. People only doordash trash to the pod.

You know what you need to eat? You need to eat the rich! And you need to carry the virus. And you need to carry a virus around this whole world, that will change this whole fucking world. And all your enemies will vomit black bile and will choke on blood and will grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other RATS. And you come up with some kind of super virus, to fucking end your enemies and END. THIS. NIGHTMARE.

In contrast to Germany, the U.S.A. had a constitution which was democratic from the start. And its ruling class managed, particularly during the imperialist era, to have the democratic forms so effectively preserved that by democratically legal means, it achieved a dictatorship of monopoly capitalism at least as firm as that which Hitler set up with tyrannic procedures. This smoothly functioning democracy, so-called, was created by the Presidential prerogative, the Supreme Court’s authority in constitutional questions, the finance monopoly over the Press, radio, etc., electioneering costs, which successfully prevented really democratic parties from springing up beside the two parties of monopoly capitalism, and lastly the use of terroristic devices (the lynching system). And this democracy could, in substance, realize everything sought by Hitler without needing to break with democracy formally. In addition, there was the incomparably broader and more solid economic basis of monopoly capitalism.

Truths are complicated and challenging. We don't have to take sides or teams; although I know it's difficult given then times we live in, where we feel the pressure to take sides given how fast we are bombarded with information. Join me and others in the effort to be comfortable with cognitive dissonance, and remember that regardless of any political leaning or nationality, we are all connected by our common humanity. Let's not antagonize each other. Good luck in your search for answers.

oh you think it was FUNNY that the nation's largest and most adult sons all tried to enter the door of the capitol building at the same time shoulder to shoulder like the 3 stooges and got stuck, preventing the senators from leaving? you think it's funny that someone pooped in nancy pelosi's secret candy drawer? well why don't you tell that to OUR BRAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT, many of whom died of tazed balls in that senseless attack on democracy.

Fascinating how all you are capable of saying in response to that whole comment is to think I am doing a bit when I mention I have two degrees.

No, its not a bit.

I seriously doubt anyone here in a chapo reddit could actually make a meaningful economic or political argument at this point.

oh sorry did I say reddit? I couldn't tell I wasn't on it what with the utter lack of meaningful or interesting discussion, and preponderance of memey edgy troll posters.

As usual, the cosplaying tankies in a 'leftist' community are amazingly hostile and disrespectful to anyone who says they are an anarchist.

I had been able to post for a week or so on another chapo reddit /until/ it became unable to avoid the astounding hypocrisy and wilful blindness that online MLs have regarding the horrible things done by authoritarian societies in the name of communism.

Good riddance to you idiot trolls.

Its baffling to me that chapo communities are nearly entirely ML edgelords. The chapo crew never suck off and worship Chinese Style 'Communism', but for some reason seemingly all online chapo communities are based around this principle.

No link cuz they just sent me the image but this is

"YOLO," said Millennials, and "yeet," the Zoomers cried

"Rizzler gyatt fanum tax," the Alphas then replied

And lo, there came a shaking as an ebon spire rose

Upon it writ the tongues of men, their generations' prose

And from the sky a thund'rous voice called out unto the stone,

As golden letters glowed upon its surface, newly shown:

"RIZZLER GYATT FANUM TAX, SIGMA OHIO SKIBIDI"

And all beheld the words embossed theron in great timidity

With shaking and with wavering voice, the grim refrain began

As all the generations sang the verse at its command

Their weeping and their running sores did nothing to delay

The chanting of that fevered song as night succumbed to day

But rose that morn a blighted sun whose light scoured like a flood

The sky was rent asunder and the rivers turned to blood

Their flesh peeled off in sickly strips, their bones were rendered bare

And still they chanted ever on, the words they uttered there

Until bone and flesh and earth and death were all forgotten things

And still unbidden, undesired, the blackened spire sings

Around it wind the whispers of the souls in its captivity:

"rizzler gyatt fanum tax... sigma ohio skibidi".

I hit 'Discover' and every single post Bluesky shows me is gloating over the death of a Jewish centenarian. Not sure this is a much better place than X.

Hey so I think you're pretty rad person who's obviously investing a lot of effort in setting up cool communities and making tools to keep them safe.

I also think you got unfairly dogpiled in a pretty frustrating way.

But further, it seemed to me you were not trying to de-escalate there. I know the hexbear dogpile can be a bit ridiculous (honestly that place confuses me, I see both the absolute sanest and most unhinged posts coming out of hexbear users) but at this point you are definitely feeding the trolls.

I get that this might be fun for you, but it does use up a lot of bandwidth in the community and I worry it harms the quality of conversations we might be able to have in the future.

Once again I want to be clear that this remark comes from a place of respect, you obviously care about fostering online community and hence this last couple of days is confusing to me.

"That would be the almond extract," I responded as I pulled the pin from the grenade and slid it across the floor.

So my (43M) son (13M) were grappling a bit and he thought his bjj classes were doing something. We rolled around for a bit and I eventually let him armbar me and I didn’t power my way out. I tapped after what seemed like a hyperextension. I am just flexible like that though. I did this so he would be more confident and want to go to more classes and moreso because I fuck his mom while hes in class. I think he believed the act.

They BAKED A GERMAN BOY ALIVE in an oven.

They murdered his mother.

They forced his sister into tending the fire, and laughed all along.

While they baked the boy alive in the oven.

The hysteric left supports witches.

They LOVE witches.

NO WOMEN. NO CANDY HOUSES. NO MERCY.

There’s no way to determine who is or isn’t Hamas, Palestinian civilians who are sympathetic to Hamas, or Palestinians who are being coerced or threatened to act for Hamas.

If Humanitarian aid had gone to the civilians, Hamas couldn’t have utilized it in the first place and this wouldn’t be happening.

Hamas has essentially weaponized humanitarian aid against the people in Palestine, Israel, and Israel’s allies.

It makes people outside of this conflict feel better when they demand humanitarian aid be delivered and see the trucks roll In because they think they’re saving lives.

The reality is that they’re just giving Hamas more means to exercise control over the civilian population, prolonging the war, and there will be more casualties.

This is an old strategy, and on a micro level akin to the strategy that street gangs use when they utilize prostitution and sex trafficking to fund their organizations.

The designated pimps woo and convinces powerless women into preforming sexual services for money by making them feel appreciated, loved, safe, and as if he has her best interest. The pimps then takes and redistributes the the vast majority of the resources the women obtain into the organization and themselves.

Eventually, whatever she earns or is given, he takes, and she’s so oppressed and accustomed to this, that he doesn’t have to ask, coerce or force. She gives it over freely and immediately. She is told over and over that what her pimp and this organization offers her in exchange for the sex work, is better than what anyone else can until she believes it. The pimp allows her to take beatings or purposely puts her in harms way to experience what it feels like to be “saved”. Non-profits and advocates try and assist these women and provide them with resources, get them plugged into social services, and jobs so that these women will leave the organizations and their pimps, but that hardly every really works, at least not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th attempt.

Once the women are plugged into those resources and social services, the organizations, through the pimps, take that, too, and squeeze even more resources out of the women.

So non-profits, advocates, and social services just become another source of wealth the organizations utilize to grow and hold larger territories longer.

The pimps and the organization also use these women to distribute and move drugs, weapons, and other illegal shit so their hands stay “clean” and are outside the gaze of law enforcement.

These women will absolutely go willingly to jail or fight for their pimps, too. Either out of love or fear because the men who hold the power over them will use threats and their kids or family members as leverage.

Often the only way to free the women is to bust and remove the entire organization. Otherwise the cycle continues and more women become victims and for longer.

It’s an unfortunate paradox. But it’s nearly identical to what Hamas has done on a large scale to the Palestinians with Humanitarian aid, minus the sex work part.

The Palestinians were already in a bad position in terrible circumstances. Hamas comes in and convinces the population through empathy, religious solidarity, expressions of empowerment, manipulation, coercion, promises of freedom, justice, and definitely by force that Hamas has the best interest of Palestinians at heart and knows better.

Which is why the Palestinian population didn’t rise up or speak up about the diversion of humanitarian aid for well over a year as the promise of freedom was made.

The Palestinians were already living without much needed resources before 10/7. When Israel cut of the deliveries and water after 10/7, Hamas was able to demonstrate to the civilian population and the rest of the anti-Israel and anti-western world that:

A. On 10/7 Hamas has won a huge victory for Palestinians by catching Israel and The West by surprise and delivered “justice” to Israel by the slaughter of 1500 Israelis, and capturing 200+ civilians proving that “Hamas knows better”.

B. When Israel cut off power, water, and humanitarian aid, this was yet another demonstration that Israel is in fact the real baddies, and the pro-Palestinian PR happening effectively is turning global sentiment as evidenced by all these massive pro-Palestinian rallies in the west.

C. Pro-Palestinian sentiment from western populations placing intense pressure and criticism on Western governments, as that’s very effective in, ya know, democracies. Western governments in turn are putting pressure on Israel, essentially restraining Israel from taking action, because the optics are so so SO bad, thus pushing MORE humanitarian aid into Gaza, that Hamas will likely use again as a means of leverage, oppression, coercion, manipulation, reward, and control on the Gazaians to:

Stay in place and not move to the south out of the impending war zone, therefore utilizing them as human shields.

Not turn on Hamas, as Hamas leaders and operatives are a small minority in comparison to the much larger civilians population.

D. Hamas has so much power over Israel and The West, that Hamas had to give up pretty much nothing to get the water back on and humanitarian aid into Gaza. They just created and published a blue print for every terrorist organization who hates Israel and it’s allies.

E. These wins and the blueprints for success has energized and given other anti-Israel/West/non-Muslim terrorist organizations and likely nations, the proof that they should assist Hamas, and that success is very possible.

Y’all, congrats, we’ve played ourselves.

A quick guide to Israeli PR:

1. We haven't heard reports of deaths; will check into it
2. The people were killed, but by a faulty Palestinian rocket/bomb
3. OK we killed them, but they were terrorists
4. OK they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields
5. OK there were no fighters in the area, so it was our mistake. But we kill civilians by accident, they do it on purpose
6. OK we kill far more civilians than they do, but look at how terrible other countries are!
7. Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of anti-semite?

I tell you what. That attack has profoundly changed how I view Palestine/Israel. I was under the assumption that Israel was primarily responsible for the apartheid in Gaza and the West Bank. But after that attack, I did a smidgen of research and came away with the complete opposite conclusion. Egypt, Jordan, Iran and the PA are primarily responsible. There's still volumes left to learn but I'm now in Change My View mode.

尊敬的蔣中正先生，

你可能不知道我是誰，但你應當了解，我是中共中央委員會的主席，毛澤東。你或許覺得你能在公開場合侮辱共產黨而逍遙法外，這一點非常可笑。

我已經在游擊戰中從事戰鬥多年，指揮過無數次成功的行動。我的力量遍佈全中國，我的手下有上千名忠實的戰士。我是一名經過嚴格訓練的戰鬥高手，對我來說，你不過是一個目標而已。

你以為你能在公開場合說這些話而不付出代價嗎？我保證，我將用我手下的力量徹底消滅你和你的國民黨。你曾經看過風暴的力量嗎？這只是一個開始。我有著廣泛的人脈和資源，你將無法躲避我的報復。

因此，我建議你三思而後行，重新考慮你的選擇。否則，你將面臨前所未有的毀滅。

I don’t know much Chinese at all but luckily my telegram buddy is Chinese and was able to provide a translation

Dear Mr. Chiang Kai-shek,

You may not know who I am, but you should understand that I am the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Mao Zedong. You may think you can openly insult the Communist Party and get away with it; this is laughable.

I have been engaged in guerrilla warfare for many years, commanding countless successful operations. My influence spans all of China, and I have thousands of loyal soldiers under my command. I am a rigorously trained combat expert; to me, you are merely a target.

Do you think you can say such things in public forums and not pay a price? I guarantee that I will use the might of my forces to utterly destroy you and your Kuomintang. Have you ever witnessed the power of a storm? This is but a beginning. I possess an extensive network and resources; you will not be able to evade my retaliation.

Therefore, I advise you to think carefully and reconsider your choices. Otherwise, you will face unprecedented destruction.

Mao Zedong

My boyfriend, who I’ve long suspected might be attracted to men, got into a big fight at the club yesterday. I don’t know what to do.

For context, I am a female and have been with this boy for several years. He’s always reassured me that I am the perfect girl in his eyes. Only problem is, I’m not entirely sure if a girl is what he even wants.

For the past 6 months, my boyfriend has been attending BJJ classes once a week after finishing up his shift at Wendy’s. The first red flag in this story is that I suspect he has a different reason for going to these classes than learning how to fight. I pick him up after class every week, and on several occasions I have noticed that he has a huge erection coming out of class. At first I thought he might be getting turned on from wrestling with girls in this class, and I got really jealous. However, I quickly found out that the only people who attend this class are men, so my worries were put to rest. Until last night.

We were at the club to celebrate his recent accomplishment at work, where he was given the “employee of the month” award for the first time in his 6 year long career at Wendy’s. He was very proud of this and hence he decided to take me clubbing to celebrate. When we got there, he kept pushing me into a dark corner of the club, insisting that I deserve personal space as a woman and that he wants me to be safe. The problem is, on several occasions, I caught him brushing up against other men at the club - it looked like he was doing this hoping I wouldn’t notice from the awkward angle he kept pushing me towards. Eventually I got jealous and my previous suspicions regarding his “BJJ classes” resurfaced. Maybe he really is getting turned on by pressing his body against other men.

Things took a turn for the worse when he eventually got really drunk and started grinding on another man at the club. At this point he wasn’t even trying to hide this from me, presumably because of how drunk he was, as this grinding quickly turned into full blown twerking. The man, who was almost double my boyfriends size, was visibly upset by this, but to my surprise he was very polite in asking him to stop. In response, my boyfriend lashed out and pushed the guy to the ground, using the strength of his whole body. At this point I thought my boyfriend was gonna get killed as I saw the big guy standing up looking pretty pissed off, but what I didn’t even realise is that my boyfriends training partners from BJJ were at the club too. They came up and stopped the fight, before then taking my boyfriend away for a “chat”. I then didn’t see my boyfriend until the next morning, and he’s still refusing to talk to me.

Just wondering if this is a common occurance in the BJJ community?

Okay, long story short: I know how hard-left this sub is, and I'm pretty much to the left myself. I can't stand crooked law enforcement. I fiercely support Black Lives, and I think we need reform badly. But I happen to enjoy some movies/shows/games that have police characters. And I'm getting beyond fed up seeing a certain movie (Zootopia) that impacted me so much get attacked from the let in this manner. Basically, I don't agree with how some in the hard left keep holding it up as "cop propaganda" or "fascist", which it isn't, and people accusing it of "getting racial allegories wrong" when in reality, the movie is an allegory for prejudice as a whole. Like, I don't find crap like this funny. I find it infuriating. Because it's not true. https://i.redd.it/0qy9v4on7gs31.jpg Some hard leftists accuse the film of missing the mark because the "predators" evolved from eating prey mammals to eating fish and bugs. That's not meant to symbolize anything in real life, it's just something that happened with those animals in a kids' movie. It doesn't clash with the movie's messaging at all. It's not "police apologism" because the police department is depicted as inept in many ways, and the story contains a moral against unfair profiling. Now for some reason, the "NP" link option isn't working, but I discussed this before in BreadTube and CompleteAnarchy. I'm asking you how you feel about this because I once encountered a thread in this sub mocking Judy Hopps, doing the whole "ACAB" thing, and I was legit upset by it. If you think I'm some kind of idiot, weirdo or loser for getting so emotional about a movie aimed at kids that's part of a big corporation that's your right. But people have been sharing "Judy's a pig, smash the state" memes in the Zootopia sub. And as someone who can't watch certain scenes in the movie without crying my eyes out, they really bothered me and I didn't think they were fair at all.
