Hope I don't go to hell for this one.

Definitely not.

Could anybody maybe tell me the name of the group here? I would really like to see anything else they have done. Beautiful.

Boys On Wheels - New Wheels on The Block

Supposedly, any 6 words said in the English language is only said once in all of time. You'll only hear it said twice if it's a quote.

I found it by pulling the lyrics, dumping it in quotes, and going through several search engines. I found a bunch of posts of the video, but eventually, somebody mentioned who they were.

The 6 word trick is very useful. Do it with any "news" article you read. Just pull out 10 words from an article on whatever paper you're reading, put it in quotes, and see who else printed the same thing. I realize how much propaganda we have, and this is like the golden demonstration of it but nobody does it, and nobody seems surprised by it. Almost everything we read in "news" comes from a central source, and "journalists" are just doing slight re-writes and rewording and some editing. You'd think people would care about this, but they don't. It blew my mind when I discovered it, nobody around me seems to care.

Although you can PROVE that any 6 words strung together, is only said once in all of history. You have entire articles attributed to entirely different authors, in different news rooms, saying the same fucking thing. We don't have news media.

Apologies to HunterTits:

Now there's a tit that will make you cry.

It also influences career choices. They think if they go into plumbing, fixing somebody's kitchen sink means a horny housewife will be standing over them flashing her hungry beaver.

Aogashima Island




People actually live in the caldera of a volcano, even though it erupted in the 1600's and killed half the people on the island.

How short sighted and irresponsible. Global warming rising seas will flood that place in no time.

WTF?

There's a reason that I love Asian cinema. They fuse in some Looney toons slapstick liveaction gags.

The inscrutable Japanese. Highly Cultured, Ancient Civilization. Batshit crazy.

Kyiv was the capital of the Russian empire starting in 882 and lasted until around the 13th century.

Isn't it odd nobody seems to be aware of this?

(facepalm) There were no Russian Empire in 882*. That's what happens when somebody substitutes political speeches by FSB fucks in place of learning history.

At the time depicted there was a bunch of independent principalities, Kyiv one of them, but there were Chernihiv, Vladimir, Novgorod, Ryazan, and so on.... Fun fact: Moscow was established by a rogue Kyiv prince, kicked out of there by his cousin. So for Moscow to claim rights to Kyiv would rougly be like Washington claiming rights to London based on "same language, shared history and being basically the same people" and insisting that "UK is not really a country" because of that. Except in this case even the language is not the same.

Kyiv and Moscow were never even a part of the same "country" until 1654 when after uprising against Polish crown Ukrainian hetman (an elected position, btw, not some royalty) has signed a treaty with Moscow Tzardom. Before that it was part of Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

*) Russian Empire as such came to be only in 1720 or so.

As for more modern times: Ukraine has declared its independence from Russian Empire in 1917, was then conquered by Commie hordes a.k.a Red Army in 1921, remained a part of USSR until 1991, restored its independence as a result of a referendum in that year and was accepted as independent state by every single nation, including Russia with which it additionally signed a bilateral treaty affirming mutual recognition of independence, borders and territorial integrity. So there is no and never was any ambiguity wrt is it "really a country" despite whatever is happening in Putin's bald cabeza.

Really? Who gives a shit?

Russia doesn't want any more NATO countries on its border. That's all it's fucking asking for. That seems reasonable, and it's the US that overthrew Ukraine. It's stupid and insanely hypocritical to be screaming about "Russian aggression" and I'm tired of the constant fucking hypocrisy and endless stupid, childish propaganda.

Like the the Skripal's that were supposedly poisoned at their home, and two homosexual Russians on vacation are being blamed for it. It's just so fucking stupid but what blows my mind is people believe this bullshit. I'm just tired of this stupid childish constant hysteria and I'm downright insulted that our propaganda are so fucking stupid and think I'm as fucking stupid as they are.

Just for once, for ONE TIME, in my life, I would like my country to NOT waste a few trillion dollars on another stupid fucking war, and just do something for internal infrastructure instead of egging on yet ANOTHER fucking war. All these wars do is fuck up the nation, screw up the people, cost the US taxpayers money, and impoverish the country in general and therefore weakens it further.

But if you want to push for another fucking war, well, it's a quasi free country for people who do. That's what the fucking criminals in charge want you to do after all. Be their bitch.

Well, that's not all they do.

They also make certain rich people much richer.

And those people decide these matters, not us:

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial
independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no
independent influence.

richwicks says

It was called "Kiev Rus". The Russia that you know appropriated a version of the name.

richwicks says

Really? Who gives a shit?

You apparently give a shit. You are the one who made this moronic claim, followed by a somewhat condescending remark.
It literally seems that you are using the proverbial FSB booklets - those designed to be manipulative, not accurate - for sources, and then spread around their wisdom. With predictable results.

richwicks says

You seem to be confused between NATO and EU. NATO had these last 8 years to get Ukraine if it wanted to. It apparently doesn't want to. If I had to guess, because it's already close enough (Latvia, Estonia), getting closer gives little if any strategic advantage.

However, if Russia consumes Ukraine, it then WILL get another NATO country at it's border. Four countries, in fact: Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia.

richwicks says

That's all it's fucking asking for.

Oh, how cute. "They are not bloodthirsty, they are just misunderstood."

Just post the fucking link. Don't make everybody jump through hoops each time. Just post the fucking link.

https://nitter.pussthecat.org/womensmarch/status/1495820119473336321

You know why our "news" doesn't post links to "sources" of documents they cite? Because they're lying. This is why you NEVER saw a link or even a quote from the Mueller Report when it has "proof" of Russian collusion.

It's CORRECT to assume that unless a link is posted, it's bullshit because 99% of the time, it is - especially when it's so trivial to post the goddamned link.

Oh, and I'll do one better:

Allow people to verify facts. It's so annoying people post without references.

I was quite obsessive about fact checking the media at one point, until I realized they lie about literally almost everything. I guarantee that people that already decided that wasn't possibly true WOULDN'T verify it was true. I absolutely guarantee it.

I know it's a joke thread, I don't care. The purpose of communication is primarily to allow people to think and change minds in my opinion.
