Columbo my love

ACAB should always come with a single exception: Columbo.

A man of the people, who only puts rich assholes behind bars.

Look, from the little I know about the Iran government I do not like them much.

But this is really funny.

I said something similar here about an election fraud detection system with 99.999% accuracy.

Use spoiler tags my boy. Most people who come through here will have seen it, but still.

Well, I’d summarise the X-Files as (no spoilers):

• Mulder has his sister (purportedly) kidnapped by aliens as a child.
• As a result, Mulder is an occult nut who wants to spend all his time investigating supernatural stuff.
• For some reason the FBI lets him spend all his time doing that. (Kind of nepotism maybe?)
• They send Scully to go watch him, but she does a terrible job of that.
• Every episode there’s a different monster or paranormal thing. Mulder says something like “It’s Bigfoot”, Scully says “That’s silly, Bigfoot isn’t real”, then they see it is Bigfoot but Scully tries to rationalise it away.
• At some point Mulder gets tangled up in government conspiracies.
• He makes it his side job to try and crack those conspiracies, but continues his monster-of-the-week formula of normal paranormal investigations for the most part.
• As time goes on, there’s more and more conspiracy unwinding stuff, but they never fire him or kill him because one of the secret cabal members has a soft spot for him.

More stuff happens in the later seasons, but I’ll leave it out for spoilers.

TLDR; Mulder is not anti-government / FBI, he’s anti-secrecy and anti-conspiracy. He’s an occult nut who just wants to engage in his hobbies on the government dime.

When a country does war crimes, the entirety of its populace is not to blame, the systems, power structures and people in charge are.

Most people in a country are not for wars or other attacking other countries. This is true for America and Russia alike, to the best of my knowledge (which granted, is anecdotal).

More people should be engaged in activism and should push back against the inhumane actions of their state, and people should be less gullible to the promises of their leaders.

Both America and Russia are overdue for major reform. Their systems are broken and many of their people brainwashed. Wishing harm on them does not help and imo is not a constructive approach. If anything, hate just begets more hate, making things worse.

If you are going to have hate, it should be more focused on the people in power.

Splitting hairs. If you think a group of people are intrinsically worse than others, you are effectively racist.

We can come up with new names, but ultimately it’s all the same. If you think racism means black vs white then your understanding is kindergarten level.

If you prefer, we can use the term bigoted. That term also covers other intrinsic groups like trans, gay and disabled people among others.

But WHERE’S THE PROFIT INCENTIVE.

• Capitalists, when their wives ask them to have sex with them.

More like $300 on.

My friends keep telling me to get Instagram so they can send me memes.

No, thanks.

Can I have the, uh, 2010 sketching timelapse video with a Nightcore anime song playing in the background.

Fake. ChatGPT always answers in 20 lines of text for no reason.

So… apart from everything?

I wish I was bored, rather than worrying about the next atrocity.

Note: Uma means horse in Japanese.

Who is this supposed to be? Charlie Kirk’s wife? If so that’s hilarious in a this-timeline-is-a-disgusting-joke kind of way.

The UK recently hosted the Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who has also committed many war crimes, so they’re doing worse here.

Have you been under a rock? It’s been months and someone (usually me) comments about it in almost every post.

From the comments, I’m guessing there’s a bear in this imgur blocked picture?
