MacArthur wanted to nuke China and to irradiate the DPRK-China border to prevent crossing it.

Of all the campaigns of my life, 20 major ones to be exact, [Korea was] the one I felt most sure of was the one I was deprived of waging. I could have won the war in Korea in a maximum of 10 days.... I would have dropped between 30 and 50 atomic bombs on his air bases and other depots strung across the neck of Manchuria.... It was my plan as our amphibious forces moved south to spread behind us—from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea—a belt of radioactive cobalt. It could have been spread from wagons, carts, trucks and planes.... For at least 60 years there could have been no land invasion of Korea from the north. The enemy could not have marched across that radiated belt.

Never go on steam forums, it's the worst conglomeration of racists because valve doesn't believe in moderation.

It seems like Trump is trying to use the brother to influence the Pope.

But like... influencing the pope to do what? Beatifying Trump?

  1. Yes
  2. Ask yourself: does it sound like a good idea? If no, does it sound like it could be funny?
  3. Yes

Part of the reason his foreign policy takes are all dogshit is (IIRC) because his wife is a republican and was a US army medic at a torture camp.

It was better than the studio's next (and last) game, Smash+Grab, an F2P game that had its open beta cancelled the day of its launch because the company went bankrupt.

I have a coworker who's into SC, though he only bought the base "get the game if it releases and can play early access now" pack, and I'm not that surprised. There are a decent number of people who just think the game is neat and aren't bothered by the overall future game being P2W because, so long as the game doesn't exist now, there's no actual proof that it'll be pay to win in the future.

Having thought on it a bit, I think both types exist, with the notable difference that the less artificial ones are onboarding younger people accidentally, while the more artificial ones are deliberately trying to onboard older people. Like, how many 30 year olds (who aren't already massive chuds) are going to become fans of Andrew Tate or Asmongold, and conversely, how many 17 year olds are going to start watching Ben Shapiro? How much the different demographics matter is up for debate, but dems are definitely lacking in the group that targets younger people, and probably also need to invest in media that appeals to people who have checked out of the political process because the dems don't fucking do anything even when they win.

"He searched for an explosion GIF using generic keywords to express how his team "blew up" during their loss, and in choosing one that matched the intensity of his emotions, he failed to realize how the imagery connected to a painful moment in Japan's history. We believe that there was no malicious intent, only a very serious lapse in judgment and awareness."

Yeah dude he was looking for a generic explosion and picked one of a super-shaky grainy video probably in black and white, sure. Maybe try a different lie lmao.

It's worth noting, I think, that most of the big right-wing influencers are absolutely artificial and propped up by far-right billionaires. Imo this is partly because a majority of conventional TV media was (at least perceived as) liberal-aligned, so they felt they needed to invest in alternate methods. Dem-aligned billionaires already have billions invested in traditional media, so they won't invest in alternative media. Not to mention that, as billionaires, they're doing fine under Trump, even if they find him distasteful. That leaves people who built their audience organically, who are, as far as I can tell, at least socdem and therefore not acceptable to the dems. There's no way out for the dems except for the party to die.
