Cripple. History Major. Vaguely left-wing.

Who DOESN'T want to visit a bloodthirsty theocratic warlord-state?

As bad as the US can be, it's not even close.

Explanation: Caesar (yes, THE Caesar) is said to have wept at a statue of Alexander the Great, because, at 33 (the same age Alexander had died at), Caesar had no great accomplishments to his name, and felt that he was pathetic by comparison.

Caesar would later become one of the most influential individuals in world history.

Always remember - it's not too late. You aren't a failure.

That's Neocon. Neoliberals are essentially the mainstream consensus in the West since Reagan (🤮). Both Clinton and Obama would be considered neoliberals; both very pro-free trade.

Neoliberals would never raise the minimum wage or expand Medicare/medicaid.

That's more Austrian School stuff; Neoliberals tend to adhere more to the Chicago School of Economics.

US military ships are working to build a pier for Gaza aid. It's going to cost at least $320 million (apnews.com)

A U.S. Navy ship and several Army vessels involved in an American-led effort to bring more aid into the besieged Gaza Strip are offshore of the enclave and building out a floating platform for the operation that the Pentagon has said will cost at least $320 million....

[US builds the 320 mil platform]

Israel, ten seconds later: "Sorry, we've decided that US ships are a security risk and can't enter."

I didn't read it like that personally, though I could be wrong. I read it more as poking fun at GeeDub's tendency to constantly change the lore. Very Tzeentchian!

I'm inclined to believe that the artist, who seems to post mostly light-hearted things like this, isn't trying to make a chud statement.

That being said, I'm definitely aware and agree that there is a sizable portion of the Warhammer fanbase that shits out attitudes like that towards scawwy wamenz in THEIR good holsum grimdark space-fantasy game; and they're a bunch of dumb fucking twats.

Romans were always fond of using their enemies' tools against them!

I remember an incident in which the Roman Emperor Claudius apologized to the Senate for using a 'barbarian' Greek word in front of them, because the word had no Latin equivalent.

Americans get a civilization +5 bonus to clubs when targeting small spherical objects though, so it's still competitive.
