Hitler in 1941, closing a file on his desk, and stretching back in his chair: "Well, not a bad day's work, finally finished my plan for sending all the Jews to their traditional homeland of Palestine. Just gotta run it by the Mufti of Jerusalem for his approval..."
"Tired of looking at bad genocidal ethnonationalism [insert picture of Austrian Moustache Man], can't wait to go abroad and look at good genocidal ethnonationalism [insert picture of our favorite US-backed Israeli leader]"
So watching videos of Israeli politicians and even some Israeli private citizens always gives me a weird vibe. These people are American -- their mannerisms are American, their way of dress is American, even their opinions are American. Netanyahu himself looks like somebody you might encounter on a street in Chicago, or at a dinner event somewhere in the Midwest, and he speaks English with an American accent. Obviously this is all anecdotal, but even the most America-obssessed Europeans I've met don't come across as anywhere near this level of red-white-and-blue.
(I'm told that Zionists have noticed this, and that idiot American evangelicals -- faux Christians -- refer to it as manifesting a "blood line," which is quite an interesting choice of words).
GDP is the economist's version of fantasy football. As in, it's all fun and games until you start thinking that your imaginary numbers qualify you to go against the real thing, be it an economy or actual professional athletes.
"Joe Biden seeks compromise and middle-ground solutions. While the extremists on one side say that we should get into a war with just one country, and the extremists on the other say we should get into a war with the entire galaxy, Joe compromises and says we should seek out World War III."

Chinese chatbots have struggled to compete with ChatGPT [citation needed]
From most estimates I've seen, China is actually ahead of the US in terms of automation. Maybe the US has better random nonsense generators -- excuse me, chatbots and AI art programs -- than China does; after all, the Americans have plenty of politicians whose brains they can use as models. But these are just silly toys for civilians. For real industrial applications of automation and computer science, the Chinese are still world leaders.
The Battle at Lake Changjin was better than any American movie ever made, including that unwatchable piece of crap Citizen Kane, and I will die on this hill

Liberals who supported these institutions all through the 90s and 2000s: "Yeah, well, we couldn't have known any of that bad stuff would happen, it's not like somebody wrote a book on it or anything."
Their web design is the first thing that tipped me off.
