Crazy

Thought we were done with that after how much iraq pissed off half of America

conquest being popular is a bit outdated unfortunately

It's so we have a strategic outpost for the invasion of Canada

yeah we have to surround canada to make sure pika can't escape becoming american

true, if you take greenland, you will have a border with canada to stage the attack

it makes sense

The actual reason is for Arctic control, and sort of reversing course of the last 50 years where we don't own our overseas military bases Greenland does have lots of mineral wealth too, but that's more an argument for why they may want to join the US rather than why we want them.

I want Greenland, but it's because I think consolidating and protecting our (cultural) brethren matters, this extends beyond Greenland and I'd probably draw a larger circle than most people, but we'd have to make good on the integration/investment and statehood side of things, which we're historically bad at

And it's a nice side benefit that on a balance sheet, it would be a net positive for both sides

While I'd like us to just annex them, if I were to place odds, we'll probably see a sweetheart deal similar to the Compact of Friendship we have with a bunch of Pacific islands Where Greenland will become a pseudo protectorate and get a ton of perks but retain "independence"

Yeah, so conquest for the sake of narcisism

Nunavut never saw it coming

Can we take Canada next?

You should just keep taking countries

why not

one nation

It's so funny how mad you get over Trump pika I'm ngl

I am not mad at trump

Oh yeah totally

I'm so accustomed to idiotic outrage online that Pika's responses feel very moderate to me

I am sorry I am not aloud to talk about politics because I am not le american

PIKA

I will go back to not talking about politics to satiate rusp

DONT CRASH OUT

Just because the president gets to fuck kids and you don't doesn't mean you should be jealous man

I don't know why you expect me to not respond like this when you accuse me of shit

It's called rage baiting

My forefathers have been doing it for a millennia

maybe we should talk about how much australia's government sucks instead

Who the fuck cares about Australia

I mean, this was a good Australian political story: https://www.news.com.au/national/liberal-senator-bill-heffernan-smuggles-pipe-bomb-into-federal-parliament/news-story/84869c2332c36807cd8d3d57a9dcdf3e

Complains that security is too relaxed, brings in a pipe bomb to demonstrate

Australia is fucked. Some people I know from there are considering going completely dark with the new laws being passed

That's what happened to pirate after they passed the anti rape law

legislation enables the criminal and punishes the honest man...

how's a rapist supposed to make a living like this?

That's what I'm saying!

I saw that the NSN got disbanded due to the laws. Makes me wonder what all the members will do now, I cant imagine they'll just lie down and surrender

Dane can you tell me what the NSN is

National Socialist Network

Is that like a social media platform

yeah man its like the australian twitter

Awesome.

They have to rebrand or them and all their families are going to be arrested

what even are the new laws anyways

Why don't they just leave Australia

I'm not in the know

The laws are completely draconian. Basically, anyone can be arbitrarily considered as a member of a “hate group”, and when that happens you lose any legal rights

I'm sorry Dialga, I was wrong

People do care about Australia apparently

I own up to that mistake

oh lovely

it's interesting to watch how terrible it is

that sounds like such a great time

I'm sure jordies will be found dead soon enough

Jordies?

Australia saw what the UK was doing and wanted to show they could go even further

If the Australians don’t start a revolution of some kind right now they will pretty much have no chance left

Unfortunately there aren't enough Asian wives to go around over there to inspire the revolution

freelance journalist guy in australia who is notorious for giving zero shits about telling the truth and having his house firebombed in an assassination attempt

Oh yeah I remember that guy

He's like Glen Greenwald but even gayer

I can no longer tell if it's meant to be anti-left or anti-right when it says it's combatting antisemitism

The NSN was the majority of the reason why the bill was made at all

The right hated them before it was cool

You know who hated them before it was cool?

Posting a single edgy meme or liking a tweet is cause for arrest now

Actually, I think most people found it cool back then...

Australia and the UK sure are making choices

basically the entire anglo-sphere is making choices to oppress their own people

I think every single english-speaking country is doing some form of a crackdown on something or other

or at least pushing for ID laws or some shit

its what the global elite want so it is the future

They are one civilian getting shot by a fed on the streets away from mass riots

Wisely, the UK predicted this and disarmed all their police years ago

I like whenever there are meetings with Trump on anything
