There are several tweets following which depict deported people as Pokemon cards.

This is possibly a reference to Asmongold saying that he wanted to go on an ICE raid dressed as Ash Ketchum earlier this year.

            And Japan is still occupied by the US so its a double whammy of protecting other ruling class ghouls and US occupation but still sicko-wistful

              Eh. Here’s hoping socialism can regrow in Japan without the U.S. around to violently crush it anymore. Same goes with reunification of Korea. Btw I don’t expect the U.S. to last another like… two years?

      I’d bet any Nintendo offices in the US would be swarmed by ICE if they filed a lawsuit.

      These are the same people who shout “you can’t fight hate with hate!”

      But apparently you can fight fighting hate with hate with hate.

      Light Yagami was an egomanic loser who wanted to be caught and was barely any different then the average school shooter. You would end the US empire in 5 days if you got a deathnote and it wouldn’t even be the hardest thing you did that week.

    One of the biggest successes of fascist propaganda was making people forget just how fucking soy they actually are

    I hope Nintendo levels the United States government with copyright law like they do private citizens when they make a fan project, but I know this will go unaddressed.

    Bit idea: start selling merchandise that blatantly rips off Pokemon, only instead of being inspired by Pokemon, it’s based off of this shit instead
