General Insane Woke Twitter Bullshit.
- Thread starter John Lee Pettimore
- Start date
True to an extent, except that the extremist element on the right is absolutely politically mainstream, whereas on the left, it isn't. Every woke candidate in the Dem primaries - bar none - was trounced and dropped out early.
78 year old Joe "1994 Crime Bill" Biden was the woke mob's single least favoured candidate, and he annihilated all of them. The Dems are dominated by the Bidens, the Pelosis, the Kamalas - the AOCs and Omars are sidelined. "Defund the Police" was an electoral disaster for those few who ran on it.
The GOP, by contrast, is the party of Trump, MTG, Cotton and Hawley. "Stop the Steal" is now a requirement for gaining traction in the Republican Party. For the right, it is the Romneys and the Ryans who are on the outside looking in. This is a huge and important difference.
But, having said that - this is not a political discussion thread, it is a humour thread. I have no interest in a discussion and will not deign to acknowledge any counterpoint that you or anyone else makes. I have ruled that this conversation is over. ?

That's just objectively true. Well, all except the worse than the Nazi's part. We didn't have extermination camps, so I think they pip us on that one. It's a close run thing, though.@Zeph !!!

He definitely hated brown people, Jews, blacks and I’m pretty sure south East Asians. And ruled an empire.
good wartime PM doe
Was he though? Or did he just make a couple of iconic speeches? Every offensive he lobbied for failed. So much for Europe's soft underbelly through Greece. Gallipoli in the first world war was his folly too. He also wanted to immediately go to war with the Red Army after the surrender of Germany.

Well, there was those residential schools in Canada.
I only know this because of the most recent Hardcore History, but he got crushed in an election before the war was over.
p.s. There's new Hardcore History
I'm not too knowledgeable about Canadian history tbh. Can you fill me in?
Finding lots of dead native children buried at them, It's incredibly sad and horrific.
The Canadian government decided to "tame the savages". This involved taking their kids away from them and sending them to church run schools. These schools forbid anything indian from going on. A bunch of the kids were sexually assaulted and murdered.
So ethnic cleansing, but not outright extermination. Similar to what China are doing to the Uyghars.
A little different because the standards of the time were obviously very different.
But if we're doing the revisionist history thing with the British empire, it definitely plays.
