This article is from December 10th 2025. This is already old hat five times over.

Since this article was put out, we’ve had:

• The EU agree to a €90 billion loan package, not taken from frozen Russian funds but instead funded by borrowing from the EU capital market.
• The USA illegaly invade Venezuela and kidnap Maduro.
• Two innocent American citizens being shot dead by ICE agents, triggering large scale protests in Minneapolis.
• The USA threatening to annex Greenland again, throwing the EU into a brief panic before it was all quickly forgotten like last year.
• The USA and Israel starting an illegal war against Iran, throwing the world economy into turmoil, which is currently ongoing.

And it’s only been 3 months! Safe to say that absolutely nobody cares about Belgium anymore.

Just a tiny, insignificant problematic aspect like widespread support for fascism. No biggie. Btw, why are all our governments turning towards fascism? Where could this be coming from?

Moreover, present day Russia is a creation by the West itself. It was your governments that wanted the USSR to collapse, your goverments that elevated individuals like Putin post-collapse. Now you get a brutal, capitalist, Anti-LGBT hellpit, that the people of the West somehow pretend just materialized out of nothing, and wasn’t a result of their own negligence, their own unwillingness to prevent mass suffering in Eastern Europe and Asia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

You are constantly in conflict with your own self-made monsters.

Jul 2024: “Genocide is okay if Israel is doing it. Vote Democrat btw.”

Sep 2025: “Israel is allowed to torture Western activists. Israel is our greatest ally.”

Jan 2026: “Jews were the only victims of the Holocaust, everyone else doesn’t matter.”

The cyanide comic is shit, but that isn’t the point. What makes the “I love science” crowd annoying is that they aren’t trying to engage with the topic at all. You can’t gatekeep when nobody is attempting to pass the gate.

It’s like people who claim they love books, when all they do is stack them in their shelves to appear intelligent.

But I’ve had libs assure me that the EU would deploy this incredibly intimidating tool! How come they are backing off now?!?

Well they were taught a harsh lesson that their epic sanctions packages don’t actually work. It would be foolish to try it again on an even more powerful enemy.

If Trump is working with Putin, then what’s the angle behind seizing a ship painted with the Russian flag?

Only this time you won’t have a Soviet Union to stop him.

Key difference is a factor of 4.

I thought this was a Republican initially – but nope, introduced by a Democrat.

Welp, wave goodbye to the free internet.

Hegseth is copying a German meme from earlier this year where people did a similar thing with a childrens comic book character called “Conni”:

There were tons of these shitposts, to the point where the publisher tried to sue over it:

That was around the same time a German pig gunned down a catfish at a festival.

The EU true believers I know are incapable of comprehending this. They are steadfast in their conviction that this is all just temporary.

cool & good

I’ve only ever heard it as part of the phrase: “The Nazis lost the war but won the peace”

Which is very funny in this context.

On a similar note, the UFO sightings from yesteryear are the drone sightings of today.

It was Aliens Putin

Except there is no such asteroid and techbros have driven themselves into a frenzy over a phantom.

The real threat to humanity is runaway climate change, which techbros conveniently don’t give a single fuck about, since they use gigawatts of power to train bigger and bigger models with further and further diminishing returns.

No, it makes you a doormat to fascists.

The response is: “Please, and thank you!”

Block-chain!
