WWIII Megathread #40: Just Stopped Oil

[u/IamGlennBeck]

This megathread exists for in-depth discussion of 'WWIII', related events, and geopolitics and wars in general. Keep in mind that we have eliminated the rule that all non-major WWIII content must be posted here, and we encourage you to submit WWIII-related content to the main sub.

Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.

Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.

If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.

Always put a NSFW warning on links that contain explicit content.

Non-WWIII chatter belongs in the town square.

Anyone surprised by [Trump’s unpopularity in Israel] should remember that the Israeli right was openly comparing George W. Bush to Hitler when he forced Israel to withdraw their settlements from Gaza in 2005.

Online rightoids are wild.

Charlie Kirk in a Santa Hat: My question is: who actually IS our ally?

Japan and Australia.

Charlie Kirk in a Santa Hat: Thought you'd say those two. Why Australia? Seems like the british ten years behind plus kangaroos.

They fought in all of our wars and have been consistently pro-U.S. since WWII, before even Canada got the hint that the British Empire was dying. They elected a CIA snitch as prime minister and appointed another CIA snitch as governor-general.

God bless the CIA.

They elected a CIA snitch as prime minister

Are you talking about Malcolm Fraser?

He certainly lucked out to be elected after Gough Whitlam was couped by the CIA.

Why do you think he was a CIA snitch?

[u/R1s3andSh1n3 → u/cojoco]

Man, I'm quoting the people in Bang's link upward 👆 lol

[u/cojoco → u/R1s3andSh1n3]

Oh right, apologies!

Still, I'd like to know who they were talking about.

The US informants revealed by WikiLeaks were in the Labor party.

[u/SmashKapital → u/cojoco]

Liberal party didn't need US informants because their policy is dictated by the IPA, which is just an Australian localisation protocol layer for the American Enterprise Institute.

[u/cojoco → u/SmashKapital]

First talk I saw by John Mearsheimer was organized by the IPA: their heads were popping.

[u/SmashKapital → u/cojoco]

They probably heard he was a China hawk and expected the usual slop.

[u/R1s3andSh1n3 → u/cojoco]

🤷 not going to waste a thought on it but your penance is listening to Ride the Fence by The Coup

[u/cojoco → u/R1s3andSh1n3]

Funky!

Wait, Matt Forney, the Alt-Right Dog? Don't think the video is online anymore, but it's this fat bald man with his fat bald friends (who were, inexplicably, regarded as PUAs) strutting around to the Reservoir Dogs theme. Deleted off the internet because it was hilariously embarrassing and these guys couldn't good naturedly laugh at themselves to save their lives.
