Will no one think of the karma totals?!??

I remember being disappointed they charge for a full price audiobook for novellas, and my library not having the full series

Turns out it was 14 days old, not months.

Or you clapped too long at Stalin's speech

I wanted to be a microbiologist, but then I extrapolated their average salary.

"Haha it was funny because they took the part of Nazi on the Internet, which is never really a thing! It was even funnier when they referenced 88rising! I'm a smart person!"

Not as fast as you think.

It just hit the tankies too close to home.

throws a grenade at the Nazi

Hurry durrrr I did a funney

Didn't even have to pretend to be a Nazi to do it

Ok bro that empathizes with Nazis

This species is getting spoiled

To the children, right?

Eh, that's the thing with nationalism. You can have allies of convenience but conflict is inevitable.

They don't just turn terms into slurs to rally the morons, they do it to attack the ideological base of their opponents.

"Globalist" became a dogwhistle for Jewish people because fascists pretended to think socialism, which inherently rejects nationalism or loses all meaning, was a Jewish conspiracy. By turning it into a meaningless slur they're not just turning their base against the idea, they're making their opponents react to its use as slur.

As it happens, neoliberalism ended up having a different kind of globalist goal, so they got a free 2 for 1 slur against their ideological enemies even though the end goals are wildly different. And, obviously, fascists don't see the need to explain how the "Jewish conspiracy" is behind both socialism and neoliberalism.

It also just turns people against the concept without understanding what it actually is.

Thus me just last week having to argue with a "socialist" social democrat about how "globalism" isn't a dogwhistle on an ideological level.

How is that different from nacho cheese?!??!

It's nice to see someone who achieved their fitness goals

It's not actually necessary if you use a lot of it, but yes, a lot of people do in America. It got caught up in some health scare or another and people said "it's dairy, right?"

Or she used a squirrel as a flail, holding the tail, causing the teeth to "stab" him

Most people don't eagerly place themselves in the part of the Nazis.

Stop trying to social engineer my password, DEA!
