Try it Ben lol you’d be number one on American propaganda hit list. Like what Ukrainians did to Russian propagandists

Crazy how Ben will threaten a nations leader, but if someone does it back, he will probably cry about it. Nothing applies to these dumb Yanks and Yankaboos

He's a grifter. Literally jews for Hitler. I hope his side wins 100 percent. That's the only way him and his family would pay for thier crimes.

They won’t do anything to Ben lol He’s their pet. I love how he perceives himself though.

Ben can’t even argue or debate like people think he can. He picks his targets. He should just go back to what he knows best. Creeping on AOCs feet. He wants that democrat feet.

There are genuinely intellectual conservatives but the oligarchic media intentionally prop up pseudointellectuals to further dumb down the population. And I guess it is working.

Let us all remember that when the Soviet Union fell, they did not end the Cold War, they just changed tactics.

It's well known that their most effective tactic for destabilizing a nation is to pour resources into boosting both sides of every debate or social issue, this poisons the well so nobody knows what's real and just defaults to whatever the controlling party says is real. It's an astoundingly effective tactic for killing the spread of news and information that people could use to organize, and sowing infighting and distrust between potential oppositional groups.

They are doing a very similar tactic right now, by boosting absurdism like the whole narrative of an "armed takeover of Canada" as if that's even possibly a thing. Casual browsers know somewhere in the back of their mind that it's absurdism, but they hang on every word because it's sensational.

This is WWE theater. Like the whole administration since the beginning, it's designed to spin stories to keep dumb fucks engaged and wondering what's going to happen next, simultaneously believing in the stories but also knowing logically it's not true. Literally the same cognitive dissonance that made us have to argue with our friends back in the 90's that no, the World Wrestling Federation is NOT employing actual necromancers, that no, it's not a real sport, no the performers would not be allowed to bring swords and weapons into the ring if it was real.

USA has no actual intention of taking over countries like Canada and Panama, they just want to make some huge distraction and sensational story, so that when they change interest rates or deregulate some banking laws, nobody will notice. We'll all be here arguing with each other if it's even possible for the USA to "take over" a neighboring nation, with the same earnestness that we used to explain that using a steel chair in a sporting event could be considered disqualifying in normal circumstances.

This isn't to say the rhetoric isn't dangerous, but what they're doing financially is going to be far more damaging to our actual future in America.

And when libtards rise up, you and your dry-wife will be raised up, too.

And when libtards rise up

checking the history of Italy from 1919 to 1940

I cannot find anything in here about liberals rising up. Did you mean... socialists?

PP was all in with Trump and fElon, also… Until shit started going down in the US. He’s a traitor.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yea and the whole Trump "He's not my kind of guy" thing screams like a lie to get Canadians to think Skippy isn't affiliated with Trump. But Skippy meeting with the family that owns the largest chain of for-profit hospitals is what scares me the most. If he wins, he'll push either an American system, or more likely a 2 tier system. Either way we get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Really goes to show you what intellectual level trump is at, if he thinks some school yard reverse psychology is gonna work on another nations government and people hahaha

To "work the canal"? Does this idiot think they row the boats through it or something?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He thinks they are digging the canal or something. Can't blame him, the american education system is a failure

Ben Shapiro is supposed to be one of the bow-tie wearing, Ivy League educated, violin playing, chess mastering "Smart" conservatives.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Maybe he imagines that like in the Thames river people open wooden doors by manually turning a crank

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's actually a pretty chill job and, depending on the lock, you might get a nice and free house to live in.
