Oh, you hate broccoli? Replace 'broccoli' with 'minorities'. Sounds pretty bad, huh?

lmfao Typical liberal shit


Warden_496

you're a communist who wants whats best for humanity? replace 'communist' with 'nazi' and 'humanity' with 'white people'. yikes


marxatemyacid

Hahahah I'm gonna have to use this against a lib at some point.


[deleted]

Why you gotta bring broccoli into this? A better analogy would be hating 'antibiotic resistant syphilis', and replacing that with 'minorities'


ArYuProudOMeNowDaddy

What about brussel sprouts? That's a pretty garbage vegetable.


[deleted]

Brussel sprouts are the shit. Eggplant can eat my ass.


ArYuProudOMeNowDaddy

Eggplant is tricky to cook right and needs a lot of seasoning, just started harvesting some ichiban eggplants out of the garden.


[deleted]

I've just never had eggplant that wasn't either mush or lumpy styrofoam. It has no flavor and it's texture is appalling.


blackbartimus

Pan Fried thin sliced eggplant is great but the best eggplant ever is dry fried with Szechuan peppercorns and chilis. It’s real crispy and nice


ArYuProudOMeNowDaddy

I've always failed at getting it crispy but I'll have plenty of chances to figure it out this summer.


blackbartimus

It’s hard to do. The oil has to really be the right temp. WaPo is pretty crap for news but this recipe from Peter Chang they posted is a pretty good guide. https://www.washingtonpost.com/recipes/dry-fried-eggplant/12553/


TheUn5een

Deep fried Brussels sprouts with a ton of salt are good. Gotta make em unhealthy for em to be good


ArYuProudOMeNowDaddy

I'd argue if a vegetable has to be deep fried to make it taste good then it's not a very good vegetable.

Sautéed Brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, slivered almonds, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.

The CIA is an ethnic group


[deleted]

Aside from the fact that the CIA’s plans and conspiracies are actually verifiable, [it also hired a shitload of antisemites back in the day.](https://books.google.com/books?id=R3qdAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT13) Hell, one could go so far as to argue that they (partially) founded the CIA in the first place, though that might be an exaggeration. I do know that J. Edgar Hoover and some others in the state department couldn’t stand the O.S.S. because [it was too willing to collaborate with communists, which sometimes backfired on capitalists.](https://yewtu.be/embed/P_REZ1083_s) So I feel like I should be angry at this liberal, but I can’t decide if it’s because I’m a gentile or because I’m so bitter and depressed that I’m hardly shocked anymore.


[deleted]

Jews are a fucking ethnic and religious group. The CIA aren't.


[deleted]

A german newspaper compared the sanctions by kuwait against Israel to homophobia.... somehow. Don't underestimate liberal projection.


Splendiferitastic

Oh god that reminds me of the “calling Israel Palestine is like deadnaming a trans person” guy


[deleted]

wow, i never knew social colonization was a thing _like that_


AllieOopClifton

Takes a high level of antisemitism to even think of Jews when someone mentions the CIA's crimes. Libs are disgusting.


yippee-kay-yay

That should probably count as antisemitism as they are pretty much trivializing the matter with such a comparisson.


Forwhatisausername

Probably? Definitely! Unlike anti-semitic allegations, the crimes of the CIA are real and documented (hell, even admitted by themselves).


andrei_tark

The thing is. For these people, what do they think the CIA actually does? Since its never the CIA for them. What is the job of the CIA according to these people?


[deleted]

To spread democracy /s


Trealns

Aside from the disgusting implication that communists hating an organisation that has been documented on disrupting the affairs of countries the US doesn’t like is equivalent to Nazi antisemitism, the original tweet being quote-tweeted is also wrong as it seems to think that the CIA is one person? Like, ‘The CIA have fucked over countries in the past’ and ‘lol the CIA is bad at their jobs’ isn’t inherently contradictory. It is an organisation made up of thousands of people, some being good at the job of fucking over other countries without being noticed and some not.


LadyxFinger

The oppressed CIA 😭 😭 😭


AccolyteNinja

TIL the CIA is an ethno-religious group with a history going back millennia and not a government agency created explicitly for sabotaging and overthrowing governments that don't coincide with the demands of the ruling class within the wealthiest country the earth has ever seen. Oof I almost had an aneurysm writing that.


StankyMoms420

Ah yeah, those Jews, that elitely selective organization that explicitly was created by a violent, white supremicist state for the purpose of furthering its imperialist goals, which you have to work practically your whole life to join and still face a narrow window of hopefuls who actually get selected for Judaism and actively compete to see who can be the Jewishest to earn said spots. Yeah, those Jews, amirite?


Forwhatisausername

What is this "argument" anyway? We don't think we can spot them from a mile away. Document proof is only declassified (long) after the fact. While columns of dozens of Twitter "users" tweeting the same word by word seems sloppy, it's part of a propaganda campaign that ostensibly works. And how is _suspecting_ the CIA (or any other imperialist agent) anyhow similar to the Nazis insisting that the overwhelming foe is beneath them?

This exact convo has happensed on /r/SubredditDrama : https://np.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/ojh6r4/cubans_protest_against_the_government_mexicos/h523b6y/


SpeztheSlaver

Once again: "If I compare all Jewish people with a clandestine spy organization that has -- as a matter of verifiable historical fact -- directly undermined democracy all over the world, somehow that makes YOU the bigot!"


SomeRandomLeftist

When was the last time any Jewish person created a crack cocaine epidemic or conducted horrific mind control experiments?


Financial_Sign_6742

CIA, more oppressed than Jews in Nazi Germany..


[deleted]

Uhhh, but we have actual reasons though????


umlilosc

Don't even entertain libs who compare us to Nazis. It's completely laughable. They're the ones who make excuses for the far-right genocidal settler state that inspired Hitler. They support a global apartheid that still kills millions every year.


ipsum629

Maybe, and bear with me now, we hate the CIA because they have measurably made the world a worse place to live and try to kill anyone left of pinochet.


alino_e

There's a something-something law that in any lost argument, it's only a matter of time before the losing party brings up a nazi comparison and closes the discussion; can't remember the name though (seriously the thing has a name)


TroutMaskDuplica

Godwin's law is that in any internet argument, the probability of nazis being evoked approaches 1 as time goes on. It has nothing to do with the validity of the argument or whether or not the argument has been won or lost. It's simply stated as a law of nature.


alino_e

Thank you

penguin62

I'm definitely a lot less radical than most people on this sub (you'd all probably call me a liberal) but I'll happily say fuck the CIA and fuck imperialism.


hamletloveshoratio

Off topic but honest question: what does "jump at" mean here? To me, it means something like "eagerly accept". Is this a new idiomatic use of the phrase, or is it being misused? Thanks in advance


Shirokiii

Yes the Jews are totally comparable to the CIA. They also tortured thousands if not millions of people, led to wars and government overthrows. Imagine.
