    Why is every drawing Ben does somehow weirdly horny? Pete has a pretty flat ass so I'm not sure why he drew him with that dump truck. Unless it's a play on his last name or something.

    Buttigieg isn't a diversity hire, he's a CIA adjacent agent of the finance imperialism:

    Pete Buttigieg has a "a huge resource-and-mineral map of Afghanistan" on the wall of his living room— anyways I'm sure his work on "economic stabilization in war zones" while at McKinsey and (and in naval intelligence before that) was all totally above board and 100% ethical https://nitter.net/halaljew/status/1196952837898539009

    Queerness really is like airplane flares to these freaks, huh? You can take the most obvious case of a hollow sociopath who's ambitions are defined purely by service at the altar of capital, a history with some of the most evil organizations on Earth, scandal after scandal about facilitating the immiseration of the masses on behalf of bloodless companies... And it doesn't matter, right wingers secretly love all that shit so they can't perceive it as bad, or even as an aberration. So instead their criticsm just cuts a 90-degree right turn like a SAM missile locking on to chaff, and the only thing they can think of is frothingfash "GAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!1!"

      the signature chud move is getting mad about actual problems, saying correct criticisms for sometimes up to 50% of a sentence, and then falling off a cliff into blaming whatever minority their media is currently demonizing

      military dork missing the joke mode: to use chaff effectively, combine it with flares and fire in large bursts, and then maneuver such that the flare/chaff cloud is between you and the missile. if you don't couple the chaff with flares and with the appropriate maneuvers (placing the cloud between you and the missile), the missile will ignore them and focus on the biggest heat source - your engine (jet exhausts specifically i think)

      sometimes i think you can also use the sun to confuse missile lockon but that seems like something they would have fixed by now. the thing about missiles is that they have less fuel and less wing surface than a jet, so the jet can raise altitude easier and for less fuel, and can maneuver more easily. the missile is faster for a short time, but if you increase altitude (it costs more fuel for the missile to go up) and keep it to your 3 or 9 clock position (it costs more fuel and reduces speed to turn) you can outmaneuver it and waste its fuel. if the hostile missile is moving straight and not turning you are doing it wrong.

        Chaff is to put clutter on a radar, flares are to distract heat-seeking missiles. Coupling it doesn't do anything unless there's somehow a missile that has both an IR and radar guidance(don't think this exists).

          AFAIK plenty of modern 'fire and forget' missiles use both

            I mean there's some missiles that can be equipped with either type, such as the French mica and the Russian r27 but it's a swap not a both simultaneously, so unless there's some surface to air missile that does it than idk. Modern radar missiles can use the internal radar and the airplane radar for tracking, but I don't think that's what you meant.

              so my source for the both types of missile tracking thing turned out to be a Quora ChatGPT answer lol, but i think they still train people to use both flares and chaff because you might be targeted by multiple hostiles (like several SAM batteries or multiple jets or a single jet launching multiple missiles) and most planes carry enough of both anyway

      Chuds think any attempt to facilitate queer people is too far and requires a gargantuan effort, even the paltry fake inclusion stuff that neoliberals do. What was that one essay where ecoterrorists capture all the world's nuclear reactors? And they get away with it because the US military spent too much money on pronoun training instead of shooting guns training

        I've got a lot of stuff still internalized about weakness, strength, and identity, so I will say when you are trying to suppress something and someone encourages you to release it it can be maddening. Because you think it makes you weak or a failure, and they're encouraging it. It's like offering alcohol to someone recovering from addiction. The main difference is that what they are holding back is not bad. It took me a long time to get the voice saying adhd was an excuse out of my head, and understand people saying I might have it were not insulting me or telling me I was weak or trying to weaken me, but showing me what they thought was true. I am pretty good at making space for other people and silencing judgement against them internally, but I still hold myself to a lot of things I know I shouldn't. I have the knowledge and will to change, if I didn't it would just be pain and anger.

      Government has been failing thousands of times, not once. It can’t even build a fucking train between two of their biggest cities anymore, they are incapable of functioning.

      This is because it’s a capitalist rightwing government filled with corrupt public-private partnerships, one that has been hollowed out and gutted for decades. It fails at certain tasks because capital wants it to fail, it certainly doesn’t fail at brutal police violence when needed, but somehow when a natural disaster happens or when it comes time to deal with homelessness it’s totally incompetent again
