@failure1991 JM vanishing for three years only to decide that year five of the Russian offensive, with zero (0) territorial goals accomplished and at minimum 180,000 KIA, is the right time to start talking about how great the Russian military is is really very funny.
@n0otherwaythere@LucidLuck01@Fischwick My trying to correct my own mistakes in Sim City 2000 using on-ramps and overpasses led to some of the most awe-inspiring public works of all time. Too bad I could never figure out how to get drivers onto them.
I can't look away. Hanania's suit is simultaneously too long, too short, too loose, too slim, too wide, too narrow, too formal, and too informal. I could not make it worse. The dumpy shoes, white socks, and cheap looking narrow tie are just the cherry on top. I cannot comprehend.
@witte_sergei The only positive is Trump realized he couldn’t effect regime change from the air and didn’t commit American soldiers to die in a ground invasion. That’s a genuine plus, but it’s an embarrassing strategic defeat, even if it shows our tech is as good as they say.
@cloneristic@0xfeitan_ This, though, is the basis of the BLM “structural racism” argument - that “white privilege” is downstream of (white) community priorities over time. You’re likely right in this instance, but it’s worth reflecting that a lot of antijewish rhetoric is BLM rhetoric repackaged.
@0xfeitan_@cloneristic Not much other than it’s an example of benign overrepresentation. Groypers in general see Jewish overrepresentation and think it’s somehow nefarious - but chess is a good example of how nepotism or whatever other cope they offer doesn’t apply because it’s a game of pure skill.
@BusterClintonn@cloneristic@s Unfortunately, @cloneristic , as much as I like and respect you, your bedfellows are people like this who know literally nothing about their own culture (though groypers tend to be brown, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt), or language (whistless is not a word).
@cloneristic@s Some of the loudest (and most prominent!) anti-zio voices are Jewish, for instance. The irony isn’t lost on me that because lib Jews love an underdog so much, Israel as a success is the undoing of a lot of young Jewish identity as you identified in another post.
@cloneristic@s I really don’t think that’s it. It’s IQ plus being opinionated and being persuasive.
As for chess, c’mon, practically every opening you can think of has a Jewish theoretician behind it. How about music? Heifetz, Bernstein, Rubinstein, Horowitz, Piatigorsky…
@avidseries@dontshoothedata It’s why every four months when one of them posts something in praise of “white culture” it’s fucking Andre Rieu and not Bernstein conducting Mahler.
