Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is terrible. But the cartoonishness of the scenario is kind of hilarious. I imagine party organizers responded by bonking him on the head with a giant red hammer, after which both parties disappeared into a cloud of limbs and punctuation marks.

He even looks like a cartoon. His moustache looks like it's made of sausages

He's definitely said, "Why YEEEES, MUhahaha" at least once in his life. Maybe daily.

It's not terrible, and it is hilarious.

It's not terrible because, at least in certain contexts, it's better for this type of behavior to be put on full display. It can further marginalize it, and expose other dimwits who think it's their call to arms.

This is not universal, because context matters, but I think in this instance, it's A+. Will further marginalize and expose his ilk, especially in the wake of Poland's recent electoral results, and it was cartoonishly villainous to the point of dark comedy gold.

Seriously, this reads like something you would see in a cartoon, not in real life.

I knew I should have watched the livestream!

Also, it's Grigoriy Braunovitch, the resident Russian schizo, for him that's Tuesday.

Also, also, Tusk is Prime Minister now, after the vote of confidence for the third Morawiecki cabinet failed 190-266, and Parliament picked it's own candidate. All 248 democratic opposition candidates (i.e. not the previous government or the party of that clown in the article) signed the motion to pick him as Prime Minister.

For real?

Law and Justice - people who unironically believe that life was better under Communism, believers of the Toruń Catholic Church of Saintest Saint John Paul "singlehandedly destroyed Communism" II, demented seniors, basically anyone epitomising the term "Land of the Blooming Onion"

Confederation (Braun and co.) - Fascists, ancaps, techbros, Russian spies, conspiracy theorists, sexists, nationalists who believe Eligiusz Niewiadomski (google him) was the greatest hero of this country, and finally (and unfortunately) young men, who believe no other party has anything to offer them in a world where their prospects is being a wage salve to some corpo, or homeless.

Cool he sprayed the lady in the face with the extinguisher. That's assault.

Attempted murder in some places, that shit is toxic and if you have asthma it can lock you up solid.

Imagine if they were trick candles and re-lit a second later.

Why wouldn't you be using those in your menorah?

Why didn't he straight put the flames out with gas to make clear what kind of mind he has? He could have broken off the gold-ornaments before too to show his true colors.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe he was just criticising Israel. /s
