the guy playing Dump looks like one of my mates lol

2018-10-17 10:00:05 UTC

@jigantie I'm going to have to find this video!

2018-10-17 11:40:46 UTC

What do you guys think of Trump's stance on the Saudi Arabian journalist case?

Dunno what is Trumps stance?

2018-10-17 11:48:03 UTC

Well, he's been rather ambiguous, trying not to offend Saudi Arabia

2018-10-17 11:48:59 UTC

There is quite compelling evidence that Saudi secret agents could have murdered Khashoggi in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, which Saudi Arabia rejects

2018-10-17 11:49:24 UTC

The US could have intervened and protected Khashoggi, since he was US resident for several years

2018-10-17 11:49:43 UTC

However, Trump does not want to appear hostile or incriminate his Saudi allies

2018-10-17 11:49:53 UTC

not that I like Saudi Arabia, but this is a situation where you need to step carefully

2018-10-17 11:50:33 UTC

Saudi Arabia has had enough time to fix their shit, and Trump siding with them and making blind eyes to their crimes hasn't helped

2018-10-17 11:51:18 UTC

Their involvement in the Yemeni civil war, blatant human rights abuses, and lack of rights for women in their country shows that they're not improving

2018-10-17 11:51:58 UTC

How is the west allied to these people, of course oil is the answer

2018-10-17 11:52:07 UTC

just comes to show our hypocrisy

2018-10-17 11:52:53 UTC

yea, they are a shit counrty that if was gone tomorrow has been a net improvement of the world at lage. and Oil is usually the answer in a lot of politics

```Petroleum was discovered on 3 March 1938 and followed up by several other finds in the Eastern Province.[20] Saudi Arabia has since become the world's largest oil producer and exporter, controlling the world's second largest oil reserves and the sixth largest gas reserves.[21] The kingdom is categorized as a World Bank high-income economy with a high Human Development Index[22] and is the only Arab country to be part of the G-20 major economies.[23] The state has attracted criticism for its treatment of women and use of capital punishment.[24] Saudi Arabia is a monarchical autocracy,[25][26] has the fourth highest military expenditure in the world[27][28] and SIPRI found that Saudi Arabia was the world's second largest arms importer in 2010โ€“2014.[29] Saudi Arabia is considered a regional and middle power.[30] In addition to the GCC, it is an active member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and OPEC.[31] ```

```In 1916, with the encouragement and support of Britain (which was fighting the Ottomans in World War I), the Sharif of Mecca, Hussein bin Ali, led a pan-Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire to create a united Arab state.[88] Although the Arab Revolt of 1916 to 1918 failed in its objective, the Allied victory in World War I resulted in the end of Ottoman suzerainty and control in Arabia.[89]```

2018-10-17 12:01:08 UTC

what is now Saudi Arabia was left for the Arabian tribes to fight over, where eventually the house of Saad took over and conquered the tribes forming Saudi Arabia

2018-10-17 12:01:44 UTC

The British and the French only took over through mandates what is now, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon and Israel

<:oof:494878589406150657>

2018-10-17 13:07:26 UTC

Saudi chose the correct side in the Yemeni War. The Houthi are terrible why would you not oppose them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthi_movement

2018-10-17 13:07:37 UTC
2018-10-17 13:08:56 UTC

I'm not supporting their enemies, since they're sided with Iran. But Saudi Arabia's indiscriminate bombing of civilians and other assorted war crimes isn't something to be looked over

2018-10-17 13:09:29 UTC

Yemen has become a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia to see who is the dominant Muslim power from each sect

2018-10-17 13:12:57 UTC

and?

2018-10-17 13:13:46 UTC

The Houthi are basically the original ISIS, and war is war

2018-10-17 13:13:57 UTC

Both are shitty

2018-10-17 13:14:15 UTC

But atleast in Iran, thereโ€™s a good amount of resistance against the regime

2018-10-17 13:14:19 UTC

War is not some clean game where you dont get dirty.

2018-10-17 13:14:28 UTC

Civilians die

2018-10-17 13:14:34 UTC

Children die

2018-10-17 13:14:51 UTC

Bombs are not smart, they are indiscriminate.

2018-10-17 13:15:30 UTC

Also "war crimes" is a fucking joke of a term and i dont respect it

2018-10-17 13:16:15 UTC

War is when all rules go out the window

2018-10-17 13:16:27 UTC

Itโ€™s why the geneva convention is the most useless thing ever

2018-10-17 13:17:31 UTC

War is a struggle between two irreconcilable wills. You must break the enemyยดs will as quickly as possible if you do not want more suffering.

2018-10-17 13:18:25 UTC

Bombing civilians has proven to do the opposite

2018-10-17 13:18:29 UTC

I think itโ€™s also important not to repeat the constant failure of leaving your enemy as your enemy

2018-10-17 13:18:48 UTC

You should always try to reconcile so future war could be avoided

2018-10-17 13:19:28 UTC

Which is one of the main reasons for the EU's existence

2018-10-17 13:22:12 UTC

I would like "evidence" of the intent to bomb civilians for the sake of bombing civilians

2018-10-17 13:22:54 UTC

Accidental civilian death in course of a legitimate bombing is not a war crime

2018-10-17 14:33:15 UTC

Also, the idea of a 'crime' is that you are being held accountable to a court of law above yourself.

Saudi Arabia has no such thing.

2018-10-17 15:14:31 UTC

Ok I have to agree with Paul here tho to go to war is to declare that you intend to eliminate a threat only after world war 1 did anyone even care about civvies, up until that point most countries did โ€œwar crimesโ€

2018-10-17 15:24:58 UTC

War crimes and 'civilians' are a modern invention and byproduct of professional armies relieving the responsibility of national defense from the citizenry

2018-10-17 15:25:22 UTC

(You may reuse that quote.)

2018-10-17 15:36:15 UTC

I mean in a lot of these countries thereโ€™s a larger population that doesnโ€™t fight but Iโ€™d imagine if the us was attacked everyone would be frothing for a fight

2018-10-17 15:36:17 UTC

Well technically they are accountable to the human rights tribunal

2018-10-17 15:40:33 UTC

*They ARE the human rights tribunal!*

2018-10-17 15:45:58 UTC

I always found ironic

2018-10-17 15:46:12 UTC

That they have a seat

2018-10-17 15:46:34 UTC

yea it shows that it just a joke

2018-10-17 15:54:17 UTC

The un as a whole is a joke

2018-10-17 16:34:15 UTC

Tony โ€œDemocracy doesnโ€™t workโ€ Blair

2018-10-17 16:34:25 UTC

Yeah that seems like a fucking great idea

2018-10-17 16:34:59 UTC

Why the fuck are these people so retarded

2018-10-17 16:35:20 UTC

Cameron himself said that the result of the first referendum would be non-negotiable

2018-10-17 16:43:01 UTC

yea if they go back on it. Democracy is dead for all time in the UK and by proxy a lot of the westen world

2018-10-17 16:47:35 UTC

If they call a 2nd referendum I call 3rd

2018-10-17 16:47:41 UTC

Regardless of the 2nd outcome

2018-10-17 16:52:00 UTC

yea, and a 4 5 6. but you see if the remoners get what they want in a referendum they are going to refuse to hold anymore referendums

2018-10-17 16:56:05 UTC

Well until Brexit actually happens people still have free movement

2018-10-17 16:56:13 UTC

So why not go live in Europe as remoaner

2018-10-17 16:56:30 UTC

I mean itโ€™s pretty clear they think their country is crap

2018-10-17 16:57:16 UTC

yea that is something that always bothering me, if it so bad why dont you leave to where you claim it so much better.

2018-10-17 17:02:46 UTC

Cause they lose their patriotization and in so their benefits of uk citizenship

2018-10-17 18:58:10 UTC

Fuck, didn't leave Oregon too soon at all

2018-10-17 19:35:14 UTC

2018-10-17 19:35:42 UTC

well yeah and I did a joke answer

2018-10-17 19:36:02 UTC

Bringing universal ethics to a mosque near you!

2018-10-17 19:45:15 UTC

Converting through force is retarded

2018-10-17 19:45:32 UTC

can't really make someone believe in something by forcing them too

2018-10-17 19:45:34 UTC

Yeah, Rome's biggest export was citizenship.

2018-10-17 19:46:50 UTC

The Apostle Paul was a paid citizen. He made good use of those benefits ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2018-10-17 20:52:46 UTC

MSM knows about the npc meme now

2018-10-17 20:54:03 UTC

Since when is Tim Pool MSM?

2018-10-17 20:55:10 UTC

He's talking about how msm knows about it and is trying to explain it

2018-10-17 20:55:17 UTC

Ah, pardon me.

2018-10-17 20:55:36 UTC

do you guys think governments have young guys that explain memes to them? I kinda feel like they have to at this point

2018-10-17 20:55:50 UTC

Lol

2018-10-17 20:56:09 UTC

Fucks sake. A millenial advisory council.

2018-10-17 20:56:11 UTC

I actually wonder if some intern or temp tries to explain that to them

2018-10-17 20:56:16 UTC

But if the left hires leftists. Do they actually understand?

2018-10-17 20:56:16 UTC

it will be like explaing the music kids like to your grandad

2018-10-17 20:56:45 UTC

and that will be a problem as well as the left have banned humor

2018-10-17 20:57:08 UTC

>vox

2018-10-17 20:57:25 UTC

it was a google image search

2018-10-17 20:58:21 UTC

fucks sake, how do servers get so big when they don't let people embed.

2018-10-17 20:58:42 UTC

its only the big ones that do it, too

2018-10-17 20:58:46 UTC

You work for that green name boyo

2018-10-17 20:59:13 UTC

it is a reason for it. to stop people brigading the server with stuff that can get it banned

2018-10-17 20:59:35 UTC

suppose that would be an issue

2018-10-17 21:00:36 UTC

Yeah plus it shows that you actually intend to participate

2018-10-17 21:02:32 UTC

But on that meme explaining I assume that they do have either a social media person or a researcher cover it. I imagine it goes about as well as when I tried to explain memes to my parents

2018-10-17 21:03:22 UTC

My Dad's a software Engineer going on 60, so he's actually kept well in the loop

2018-10-17 21:03:26 UTC

that's fun.

2018-10-17 21:04:38 UTC

I never would have imagined that one day memes would be an integral part of politics
but i guess we've always had political cartoons so it makes sense

2018-10-17 21:05:17 UTC

Memes are kind of the unofficial language of the internet

2018-10-17 21:05:30 UTC

meme are nothing new if you think about it. it just that it much more easy to make and distribute it

2018-10-17 21:06:11 UTC

true

2018-10-17 21:07:44 UTC

I mean you technically could say political cartoons are a form of meme

2018-10-17 21:07:51 UTC

And have been around for a long time

2018-10-17 21:10:03 UTC

True. I think because of the internet people now have the ability to put their own spin on it which now gives them a joke a greater lifespan

2018-10-17 21:10:51 UTC

Suddenly the chicken crosses the road for more than getting to the other side

2018-10-17 21:12:12 UTC

And they can make them more complex. Since political cartoons were made to be understandable by the masses

2018-10-17 21:12:41 UTC

I think we stumbled onto the true definition of what a meme is

2018-10-17 22:55:48 UTC

^Show of hands: Who the fuck isn't even fucking surprised?

2018-10-17 22:57:32 UTC

On memes, Its just the most recent evolution of word of mouth. Colloquialisms, slang, in-jokes. Popular culture is now embracing the *culture* part, and its simultaneously fascinating and intimidating.

2018-10-17 23:00:47 UTC

Hopefully more coherent memes can be circulated, before we suddenly are put on the spot and have to explain shit like *E* or *ะ”pyะณ*

2018-10-18 02:34:41 UTC

I like that shirt

2018-10-18 04:13:47 UTC

2018-10-18 04:54:07 UTC

What if trump did a DNA test and found that he was +1% Native American and could officially call himself the first Native American president? People would lose their god damn minds.

2018-10-18 05:03:09 UTC

Would rather see it come back some percentage of jewish/hebrew/iraelite or whatever the fuck they call it and watch the fire from the alt-right

2018-10-18 05:04:34 UTC

It'd be like watching the reaction of children when optimus prime dies in the older transformers cartoons.

2018-10-18 05:34:39 UTC

Or 1% eastern Europe

2018-10-18 05:35:06 UTC

i'm not convinced there are any good feminists

2018-10-18 12:10:04 UTC

imho, the only good feminist is an ex-feminist

IUt's just 3rd wave man hating feminists

and the fact they have already gained equality

Can't even have Mazsize tissues. That's what they have been reduced to
