The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"And the reason it happened was because in 2020, the MSM and the Left and the Democommies made it very very clear that political violence in service of a cause thought to be "just" was not only O.K., it was obligatory.

Yes the people who rioted on January 6 were stupid.

Not because they listened to Trump, who told them to protest peacefully. (Unfortunately, they did NOT listen to Trump.)

But because they listened to YOU. YOU told them it was not just O.K., but morally and ethically obligatory, to engage in political violence and riots if you subjectively believe the cause to be just.

Cue 2020 George Floyd riots."
- Marco the Russian Clown

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

Like everything in life, Marco the Russian Clown gets it exactly backwards. His incompetence is going to cause him to be sent to the front lines in Ukraine and die in a ditch to a drone.

I am not even going to argue with you about January 6th other than ask how many police officers died during BLM protests (which were much bigger and widespread)? I don't teach pigs to sing. So instead let's ask him about life in Russia...

Marco, are all Russians as incompetent as you? Obviously, the Russian military has rotted from within. In Ukraine, it couldn't destroy a military a fraction of its size. Despite have some of the largest mineral resources on earth, the Russian economy is a very small compared to its population. Russians haven't produced anything meaningfully culturally (movies, poetry, books, etc.) in at least 60 years.

Military sucks, economy sucks, culture sucks. What exactly are Russians good at other than conning dumb ass right wing nutters?
