“We didn’t see them and were just shooting the wreckage”/“We were worried they’d keep fighting” were the exact excuses offered in the Peleus case, as it happens.

There’s an established penalty for ordering the killing of shipwrecked sailors (even during a war, which we are manifestly not in) and we should apply that penalty. I would say it’s vitally important to apply that penalty, in fact.

this is the point of my pinned skeet: fascists are miserable little men who want to force the world to be as little and miserable as they are, and any fictional representation has to lean all the way in to that pathetic sorriness to resist appropriation

remember, fascists are small men who want to feel big, dorks who want to look cool, simpletons who cant handle complexity
theyre losers who embrace a low effort ideology that lets them win, playing on easy mode to feel like theyve conquered something

Going all in on the machismo is the mistake. You need to show the machismo break down completely into an animalistic, self-indulgent yawp with no sense of glory or sexual luster or mystery or anything except the attempt of an empty soul to fill itself with kitsch.

You *can* but it is genuinely hard to pull off and requires capturing the wretchedness and smallness of it.
Chaplin did that. You got to see these allegedly world-striding despots acting like the overgrown schoolyard bullies they actually were.

Frankly I think this is more about the fact that you cannot satirize fascism while using the aesthetics of fascism because the story just becomes fascist. Dredd stopped being satire within a few years of first publication - the America arc was a failed rearguard action on this.

So like, I’m to believe the boat that had just been hit with a missile, all but two people on it killed, was a) still seaworthy, and b) once flipped back over would still be loaded with viable loads of drugs? Gimme a fuckin break.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

So are we still gonna argue that the drones spotted near European airports and military bases over the last few months were a media contagion driven hoax?
Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Again the dumbest (and yet somehow tolerated) political analysis you come across in 2025 is someone saying Trump is “easy to beat” after we’ve seen him survive saying things weekly in a campaign that would end any other politician’s career. It’s insane cope to think “weak opposition” explains that

The unfortunate reality is that Trump trounced Jeb!, Cruz, Rubio, DeSantis, and Haley despite all of them being on paper very strong candidates with successful careers until they faced him
Hey since you're not gonna answer this question, lemme help out:
Donald Trump is and was an incredibly strong candidate for reasons that are utterly repulsive but nonetheless true, and you idiots acting like he wasn't or isn't is why no one listens to you.

It is *very* divisive to suggest that Tom Cotton wanted civil unrest to devolve into something much more terrifying in 2020.
You should definitely not accuse Tom Cotton of fantasizing about civil war. That would be offensive.
