There may or may not be a method to this madness.

luimnigh:

I keep saying that the reason why I, as an Irish person, keep reblogging American political content is because your internal politics affects not just America, but the entire world.

And I want to give you an example of that.

Over in the UK, Boris Johnson has announced his intention to renege on key points of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement that his government signed with the EU.

Part of this Withdrawal Agreement is ensuring that a “hard border”, that is a walled and manned border with checkpoints, isn’t erected between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The lack of a hard border is a key part of the 1997 Good Friday Agreement, a peace treaty that ended several decades of civil war in Northern Ireland.

The reason why Johnson is breaking this agreement with the EU is because he wants a trade deal with the US, a trade deal that Trump has stated he will not give to Johnson unless he removes some product safety laws.

These product safety laws are also enshrined in the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, because the EU doesn’t want sub-standard products entering the EU marketplace, and the only way to avoid checks on goods for these safety standards at the Ireland/Northern Ireland border is to have the UK to continue to uphold these standards.

But Johnson so badly wants this deal with the US, in order to “prove” the UK isn’t dependent on EU Trade, that he’s willing to break two legally-binding international treaties.

To compound this, both Democrats and Republicans have repeatedly stated that if Johnson breaches the Good Friday Agreement, he will not get a trade deal with the US.

Because Irish Americans make up 10% of the US population, and that is a group both sides want to appeal to. And Irish Americans generally like the idea of peace on the island of Ireland.

But Johnson knows that Donald Trump is willing to go against his party, and that the Republicans will fall in line with Trump’s wishes. He knows the Republicans’ threat of “no trade deal if you violate the Good Friday Agreement” is a shockingly empty one.

He knows that so long as Trump is in power, he can get what he wants, even if he breaks international law in doing so.

And this is just one of many examples of how US internal politics heavily affects the internal and international politics of other nations. Like it or not, the effects of your vote go well beyond your borders.

Donald Trump is not just bad for your country, he is bad for the entire human race.

Please. Get him out.

pon farr becoming common knowledge sucks for vulcans because every time something goes wrong with a vulcan everyones like “omg is it pon farr? are you ok?”

imagine being vulcan and your human friend coming up to you like “bro. i know it’s almost that time. and i just want you to know, that i’m here for you bro. and if your wife can’t make it…. i’m not gonna let you die bro.” and you know they’re trying to be supportive but things just got really awkward

You know there’s humans that are a little too eager. As soon as any Vulcan crewmember seem under the weather they’re like “I volunteer!” and already have their shirt off before the Vulcan can say “It is a cold”. 

Spock: we do not discuss it-

Kirk: because you’re repressed?

Spock: Because we know what humans are like.

I wonder what Christian meme groups are like. I mean some Christians have the biggest victim complexes in the world and if you couple that with first person perspective memes, you’d probably get memes like:

Oh thank fuck it is my time to shine

These are all from a Christian meme group that I joined for some reason but fell in love with

I’ve been consuming Christian memes since I was about fourteen and they’re all like this. Also:

May I add:

ok i spent hours looking through christian discord servers for these

Some personal favorites I’ve encountered

I’m not sure if any of these count as blasphemy exactly but happy sunday yall.

PSA

do not buy copper from Ea-Nasir; they are of inferior quality and he will treat your messenger rudely

I am SCREAMING

…about the poor quality of copper you received from Ea-Nasir, and his lack of response to the sternly worded tablet you sent him, I assume.
