And he shamelessly admits that the end goal is state managed slave labour...

Ben Shapiro, the fascist everybody. At least they aren't kidding it anymore.

Civil world war!!!! People with souls vs everyone else.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ever read anything by Terry Brooks? He had a series of modern fantasy books where the world is basically ending, demons walk amongst us, that kinda thing. Anyway, servants of the void who "sold their soul" were known as Once-Men. As in they were human once, but not anymore. I always found that rather fitting...

Running With the Demon

[–] stray@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds like The Stand. Are they any good?

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

He's one of my favorite authors; I'll always recommend reading anything by Terry Brooks!

Have you heard of the Shanarra series? There was a TV series some years back based on the books that aired on MTV. Plus just a whole bunch of books he wrote. Anyway, Shanarra is a fantasy setting in the general style of Tolkien, but with lots of cool unique twists. Anyway, in the books he hints that the world used to be a lot like ours, but then apocalyptic wars reawoke magic while science and technology of course were lost. Eventually he did write I think two trilogies that start in a near modern alternate Earth and describes the series of events that transform that start into the fantasy setting he'd established previously.

Oh, and recently he apparently blew up the world of Shanarra for good! Like, on a cosmic scale the bad guys win I guess, so game over? I dunno I haven't had a chance to read the last trilogy yet so no spoilers!

If you're new to the series, he recommends starting with Sword of Shanarra. But if you want to read in the order of chronological events, then you should start with Running with the Demon.

Ben want to own a slave so bad he's commited to whatever plan Trump is doing

When the American civil war starts. I wonder who will have Ben’s trophy on their wall after the conflict.

[–] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

America is currently waiting and sleeping through the time when a civil war or attacking the terrorists is possible. Germany would never have escaped the clutches of the Nazis without outside help. The stupid thing about a world power, however, is that once it has reached this status, nothing helps. Technology is now so advanced that it is no longer a problem.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Counterpoint:

The nazis collapsed not because of foreign intervention but because their ideology held that they were all super special boys and everyone else on the planet was subhumans to be subjugated - same as this administration.

These guys are duck-ups and what they want to do is either pointless or harmful to themselves.

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

These fuck ups have palantir drones and flock cameras and we’ve already seen technology like sonic crowd disruption weapons and microwave attacks intercontintenally.

Nazis didn’t have any of that shit and hitler himself didn’t have access to 4000 satellites

Bullshit.

The downfall of the Nazis was because they attacked Russia but were in no way prepared for the Russian winter. Where many soldiers simply froze to death (one must not forget meth or Panzerschokolade). This means that soldiers who are overtired do not realize that when they are tired, the body no longer works at 100%, making it more susceptible to cold and producing less heat). This mass death from the cold gave the USSR the opportunity not to be overrun and to push back the Nazis. Had it not been for the winter, the USSR would have fallen. America would have had an enemy over a much larger area (this was all before the Americans were able to seize all the knowledge of the Germans), the Germans were already close to completing the atomic bomb... as well as stealth airplanes etc. Believe me, if so many had not frozen to death in the East (fortunately) it would all have ended very differently.

So you're saying that they believed themselves to be special boys and that the Russians were subhumans to be easily subjugated?

Thanks for opening my eyes!

I wonder what the US will do with their Russian shills after this trump nonsense is over. I mean, at some point you gotta recognize traitors that are trying to destroy your country by lying to everyone, or in the case of this turd, yell over everyone with their lies

She wants to take your health care, and turn it into profit share, and split it up with P-Pierre, and that ain’t fuckin right. She’s turned into a MAGA hag, she’s turned against our Maple Flag, vote against this traitor slag.

I don't know how to not say this offensively but he's a jew and would be one of the first to be expelled under fascism lol

Breaking News: Clarance Thomas has just ruled that Justice Thomas is ineligible to serve as a Supreme Court Justice since he is a non-Citizen, due to his status as an enslaved person.

He's wild for that. Never thought I'd see Ben Shapiro go that far. What a nut.

The amount of treason that is openly committed by these people is astounding.

To "work the canal"? Does this idiot think they row the boats through it or something?

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 10 points 6 days ago

He thinks they are digging the canal or something. Can't blame him, the american education system is a failure

[–] BlackSheep@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

PP was all in with Trump and fElon, also… Until shit started going down in the US. He’s a traitor.

[–] PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

Yea and the whole Trump "He's not my kind of guy" thing screams like a lie to get Canadians to think Skippy isn't affiliated with Trump. But Skippy meeting with the family that owns the largest chain of for-profit hospitals is what scares me the most. If he wins, he'll push either an American system, or more likely a 2 tier system. Either way we get fucked.

[–] NoxAstrum@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Just make sure you're out in front pal, I want to make sure I get a clear picture.

Canada, when you take over, please go after our conservatives first and then at least give the rest of us a chance to prove ourselves.

If it took you 10 seconds it could've taken OP 10 seconds to include it in the body.

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.

I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍

[–] Jhogenbaum@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

I cannot search x and don't want to, but I searched this whole thread to find if someone verified the source. I appreciate him asking and you posting it both.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Clarify what you're asking for so I know if you're a dumbass or not.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

What other than a link to the tweet do you think this could be asking for?
