Buddy posts a lot in some christian sub, some depression sub and about 3D printing. It kind of reminds me of some scene in the chapo book where some out of the way older accountant kept a lot of war shit on and in his desk, as if it was some totem that let him feel like his life wasn't complete drek, who they only found out he was pro war after he died and someone was cleaning out a dead man's desk.

"We can escalate to deescalate" has that nice perfect ring to it that completely sums up the blood thirsty lib foreign policy wonky mind.

    lol, I got that impression of the sub. It basically sounded like r/credibledefense but for dumb guys.

      I also shouldn't throw too much shade since I use to post on r/geopolitics regularly 7 or 8 years ago, when it just had 15k members and you could have somewhat coherent discussions about foreign policy. Specifically it was the only place to post about North Korea without getting bombarded by the same three reddit jokes. After it got more than 30k members the whole sub just devolved into "who would win" posts.

      I even remember the post that put me off forever, it was something like "Could the US emerge victorious if the Muslim world declared war on them".

        yeah, i used to be a MUN person but /r/geopolitics is just unbearably us-centric and lib brained. they always put their shitty fan fiction/conspiracy theories into whatever country the US is currently antagonizing, turning them into cartoon level villains.
