    No, because all this shit can be traced back directly to Regan, and probably Nixon. Nixon cut the break line and Regan shoved it off the cliff.

      The murder of Lincoln and not fixing the country after the civil war is probably the root especially for the southern strategy that Nixon would go on to use.

      The murder of both Kennedy brothers is the next point, because it opened the door for Nixon who got the economy ready to inflate and fuck over Carter, which got us Reagan and the rest of the “conservatives “ who are actually fascist racists greedy asswipes.

        Thomas Paine was right. It goes back to the founding of the country (at least) and the refusal to form a truly egalitarian society, embracing human slavery instead. This made the US Civil War inevitable.

        Well I guess absorbing enormous amounts of Nazi scientists, agents and soldiers into it’s service did not help much either.

          Weirdly enough that was largely the most negligible effect, most of the ones that were absorbed were revanchists not ideological Nazis. While we can debate the morals of dead men they weren’t the worst of the worst, those were left in Germany or fled to South America and Apartheid Africa. Most of the ones absorbed just really wanted to fuck over the Soviets, which at the time was also the goal of NATO and Yugoslavia.

            The ability of Nazis to cosplay as “normal” conservatives never ceases to amaze me. The utter lack of empathy. The pure joy in making “the others” suffer. Nothing seems to alert conservatives. Even when they position themselves as “just revanchists” they are believed. Breathtaking.

    It was a Field Marten, not a weasel. The Pompiers still share around the image of its incredibly crispy corpse that was retrieved from the service tunnels at CMS Point 5.

      To quote Douglas Adams about a similar concept in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:

      "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

      There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened"
