Thumb-Key, hands down!

(By the way, in case anybody doesn’t get my reference, it’s “My N@zi Roommate” by Atun-Shei Films)

During his inauguration speech, [Trump] referred to the U.S. as a growing nation expanding its territory.

“Yo, Klaus, what is this?”

“It is the natural Order. My Beer requires enough Territory to support its Population.”

“Dude, make some room in there, I just got some Soft Parade for my friend in Michigan and I want it to be cold by tonight.”

“That’s not going to happen.”

“Excuse me??”

“German Beer is superior both in Taste and Culture. It must be allowed enough Territory to survive and to thrive, lest less civilized Beers, which are more energetic, take their Place. A Day will come when the Fridge is dominated by the Laws of Nature, and Nature favors those Beers which are of a more brutal Vim. It is only right that the strong and the pure should dominate, and not every Beer has a Right to exist.”

“Are we… still talking about beer?”

“Of course we are. What else would we be talking about? — Besides, your Pisswater has its Place, in the Back, where it belongs.”

“OK man, well um… I gotta go do some work.”

“Auf Wiedersehen.”

“What if you stepped on dog poop out on the street, and you went home without realizing it? What if the American father and mother and eldest son and eldest daughter all stepped on poop and went home without realizing it?”

If what you’re trying to get at is that whereas it is very important to unlearn the lies and exaggerations one was told about a country, that people also need to avoid replacing these lies with an overly simplistic and uncritical understanding of that same country, and that the current social media landscape makes it very difficult for many people to have the necessary nuance to avoid this pitfall… Then I would agree with you, but I’d also tell you that mentioning the eugenicists’ favorite way of measuring “intelligence” is a very bad way of phrasing this idea, and that your standards of what counts as “circle-jerking” about a country are probably not nearly as inviting of nuance as you’d think.

We wouldn’t need a translation feature if cxiuj lernis Esperanton, just sayin’

(I mean, we would, but)

HELL yeah

Hasn’t China also sold drones to Indonesia for use in West Papua? I think that might’ve stopped, though, but I’m not sure.

I am waowin’
