“In your opinion, if anyone around the world wants to take their revenge on the assassination of Soleimani and intends to do it proportionately in the way they suggest — that we take one of theirs now that they’ve got one of ours — who should we consider to take out in the context of America? Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spider-Man and SpongeBob? They don’t have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large landmass, but it doesn’t have any heroes. All of their heroes are cartoon characters — they’re all fictional.”
I always interpreted this as a criticism of American culture. I never thought of this as a defense strategy – with no living or real heroes, you can’t kill or defile their lives
I think there’s a strange kind of exception that proves the rule in the form of Charlie Kirk.
Luigi didn’t take out a hero but it had the same cultural impact as taking one out.
You wanna attack america from outside it? Attack targets that the american population will adore you for attacking, it will cause a significant problem for the american leadership.
Robin hood and his band are the medieval equivalent of a maoist guerrilla resistance troupe fighting a protracted people’s war.
That’s the model!
Ooodelally
Just as Mao wrote.
clearly they should have gone after podcasters, the true Heroes. RIP Charlie.
That’s the biggest irony with liberals glazing Zelensky, prior to the war he was widely and correctly regarded as a Trump-like figure. An entertainer who rode into office in a wave of anti-establishment sentiment and then proceed to undrmine democratic governance.
What if Colbert ended up being our Churchill?
In 1937, while speaking to the Palestine Royal Commission in favour of allowing Jews to settle in Palestine, Churchill stated that:
I do not admit … for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.
Stephen Colbert defending a genocide? I’d like to think that’s too far even for Colbert’s conservative character but I unfortunately think that might be too optimistic in regards to Israel-Palestine…
If the talk show host in front of you drops their microphone, pick it up and keep charging.
Putting Nelson Mandela alongside Margaret Thatcher demonstrates some advanced ignorance considering the tories were making “Hang Mandela” their unofficial slogan during that whole period
Anyway I suspect this is a bit
The quoted post is probably not a bit, but the response is making fun of it.
what if pee pee becomes our poo poo?
eat more fiber
This would be a good tagline
Zelensky
Thatcher
Eric Adams
What if Nick Mullen ended up our Lenin?
nick mullen is clearly our
, a guy that stavvy and adam invented to make fun ofstavvy and adam invented to make fun of
Well that backfired stupendously.
“Wouldn’t it be wild if kimmel became our man with a Nazi problem?” Is what I’m hearing
So by the power of transitive properties he too is a Nazi. something something eleven people at a table something.
plumbing the shitmines known as bluesky
What if Jimmy Fallon became our Brezhnev?
…I think he could pull it off if he smeared some hair growth shit on his eyebrows
Becoming our Zelensky, you mean having a political campaign funded by a billionaire Zionist who is also funding neo Nazis ? This sounds very plausible now that you mention it
