This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Class vs cheep ass
"Daddy always said, you can't by class, but you can watch people try"
I guess you meant to say 'buy'
This seems to be a Daddy issue, clearly quoted verbatim 😏
Facts.
Typo and you meant cheap?
Oops!
No, that's fake news. He didn't make a typo, that's just alternative spelling.
I mean fuck trump but you dont have to hand it to the pair genocidaire
Pretty sure the commenter was talking about the interior design
I read it as comparing bidens way of decorating vs trumps way, calling Biden classy. Most of the comments seem to dunk on Trump.
I doubt Biden had anything to do with the decorations, the fireplace and decoration were probably like that before he took office.
It does look like something was stolen from the fireplace in the biden picture, which is explained by trump's loss
That's a fair reading
They don't care about genocide or anything that's outside their navelstaring country.
Yesterday the libs complained about an anti-genocide post here bcs they used X.
The blue MAGA battle against red MAGA is way more important to them.
All they want is to go back to their bubble of 'democracy' where they keep the fascism for their foreign policy.
Lets make sure to note that the europeans aren't any better. Plenty fedditors here with a superiority complex.
Europe isn't a country. You're going to have to be more specific.
navelstaring subcontinent then.
That's not being more specific.
There's 47 countries in Europe. Each with its own foreign policy.
Saying "the europeans aren't any better" makes no sense.
That's like saying "the South Americans aren't any better", "the Africans aren't any better" or "the Asians aren't any better".
Who are you talking about?
Wow, you really destroyed their point with semantics 🙄
It's not semantics if views on what's happening in Gaza are wildly different depending on which European country you're talking about.
A blanket term doesn't work.
Europe is not of the size of South America, Africa or Asia. Neither in land mass nor in amount of people. Talking about euro "culture" is as specific as talking about seppo "culture", if not more so. I'm sure you'd have no problem talking about Indian culture, and they are even bigger than europe, with more diverse cultures.
We're not talking about culture, we're talking about foreign policy.
There's 740 million people in Europe (more than South America) spread across 47 independent countries.
And Europe includes countries that are Allies of the US, Enemies of the US, as well as Neutral countries.
So again, you'll have to be more specific.
Thats the comment I was responding to. Very clearly talking about the people living there and not the goverments foreign policy.
Ok maybe Serbia and Russia get a pass for resisting US control, but this was after they let US culture in and their people got decimated for it, so not really.
I'm from Ireland. A country in Europe where both the people and government are outspoken against whats happening in Gaza and are both actively taking steps to work toward stopping it despite US influence trying to stop us.
You wont go a single day in this country without seeing Palestinian flags being flown.
You think the Europeans in Ireland don't care about genocide?
Maybe Ireland is the sole exception to the rest of the subcontinent then. What have they tried to do, slipped completely passed me.
Thanks for your whataboutism.
If by 'Europeans' you mean our sell out US vasal governments and EU leaders then sure, they aren't any better.
But that's not the people.
Unlike the supporters of the fascist-lite wing of their uniparty perfectly willing to ignore this inconvenient genocide as long as they win.
So besides those 2 huge factions that form the bulk of your population there's not much left is there?
So we aren't as scummy as you all out of pure self-interest.
You can mislabel that as a superiority complex if that helps you sleep.
Oh please, I am eur*pean and live in eur*pe. The people here are exactly like this. Our sell out US vassal goverments get cheered on loudly for throwing more and more public money into the US MIC to arm nazis in Ukraine, for cracking down on "antisemitism" (by silencing "antisemitic" jews e.g.). Thanks for being such a nice example of what I'm talking about.
We are owned by the US true, but it's not like there is resistance against it. And we will have to answer for our crimes when our time comes.
I dont know which part of Europe you're in but there isn't really any noticeable resistance to our support of the Occupation Regime Of West PAlestine here in germ*ny. Freedom protests get like a dozen people and thats it. Granted Genocidesmany is the most whipped dog right after TERF island but I've not heard any better news from any other so-called country. Some resistance in Greece to orowpean tourists, Lefty Italian football fans doing cool chants but thats pretty much it. The Freedom protests in Seppoland were way bigger with sit-ins at unis and everything.
It could be a lot better with more people showing up that's for sure.
But even I, who follow stuff about it sometimes see mass events online that I didn't know of simply bcs the complicit regime news doesn't report on it.
And in Germany the pigs are especially bad, seen the images of them arresting a granny and peoting up people many times.
Same in Holland, and they also come to protesters home to intimidate them.
All this scares people from going, which is their aim.
I'm going to one tonight, it's the minimum peole with a soul can do.
This really is the American liberal in a nut shell: "at least our monstrous war criminal had class!"
Did... You not see the same picture we did?
Of course I did, I just don't care. The problem with Trump isn't that he's garish, and Biden wasn't not a monster just because he was not garish
They why say anything? Don't support child rapists.
I said something because I'm sick of liberals acting like being crass is worse than being child raping war criminal
Lol
