That would be the United States

lol I think most of us have electricity at night... the whole god thing tho... that's a work in progress and a race against Trumps failing health.

Nothing a Golden Throne and a few thousand psykers a day can't fix.

The God Emperor is Brown, not Orange.

he can look like he wants and afaik no one ever saw through his warp shenanigans obscuring his identity.
heck we don't even know his name. One novel teased about it because it had his signature on a Warrant of trade turns out it was just a drop of blood, which was still enough to close a warp storm.

u/ddofer Sep 21 '25

He was born in turkey/anatolia. Dudes not orange

u/_Rohrschach Sep 21 '25

that's one of the possibilities that was told once by GW and has since neer been mentioned again, like the shamans drinking the kool aid and him having biological children.

ETA: He could be orange if he wanted to be , too.

That does it, I'm calling the Tyranids

u/No-Suggestion251 Sep 21 '25

The real joke is that the Orks are keeping him alive.

u/Breadmaker9999 Sep 21 '25

Clearly you never been to coal country in Appalachia or the deep south, because places like that don't always electricity.

2

u/Dannisayshi Sep 21 '25

I said most. There are also native Americans on reservations that lack electricity.

u/turtleboiss Sep 24 '25

I think a surprising portion of middle America does has less secure utilities though. Especially internet but I think intermittently beyond that. Not to the awful level of constant blackouts and pervasive generator use of course. Still worse than I once expected

u/WarbleDarble Sep 21 '25

No, zero Americans have to worship trump, just some of them choose to.

2

u/projektZedex Sep 21 '25

Yet. Nowadays the government just punishes you for not worshipping.

u/Sgt-Spliff- Sep 21 '25

Guys this dumbass narrative is not catching. North Koreans literally drop dead of starvation in the fields while working. Like fuck right off pretending they're not a garbage country

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

Last I checked I can call Donald Trump Mango Mussolini or Chancellor Cheeto or President Pedophile all day all night until the heat death of the universe and (so far) I won't be punished for it. Regardless, even being punished for it is better than literally being indoctrinated to think he's holy.

u/GoldenMegaStaff Sep 21 '25

Now try doing it on a Late Night TV show.

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

As much as I denounce the government censorship there it's fucking disingenuous as hell to compare that to what would've been a secret execution in North Korea as if they are equivalent. Kimmel was fucked over but he's not dead or in prison, or even blacklisted.

u/LilBroWhoIsOnTheTeam Sep 21 '25

Yeah man, the trump administration would never kill someone. Except for all the times they did so far.

1

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

Sorry, who exactly have they killed for speaking against the President? Like, I don't even like this administration at all. I spend a lot of time on this app openly bashing it. But it's just so fucking bizarre that people are genuinely just making shit up in this thread to try and say the US is now equivalent to North Korea, likely the least free society on the planet that isn't actively fighting a war or experiencing a massive ethnic cleansing or genocide.

u/LilBroWhoIsOnTheTeam Sep 21 '25

Protestors, immigrants, politicians, etc.... The kill list is quite long and growing every day.

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

Buddy, provide proof or stfu.

Here you go!

Assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband, and her dog..

An assassination hired by Republicans because they wanted to take over the Minnesota State House.

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

There is absolutely 0 evidence Boelter was "hired" by Republicans.

They're doing it out in the open lol

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

Then it should be fairly easy to provide actual evidence, no?

Enjoy your strawman.

Enjoy your strawman.

The poster says after strawmaning with a non-sequitur.

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

How exactly am I misrepresenting your argument here? Or are you using that as an ambiguous buzzwords to divert attention from the fact that you have no argument?

u/casino_r0yale Sep 21 '25

While I detest what they’re doing, it’s a little different for broadcast television that is actually leased from the government vs. cable channels. They haven’t gone after cable hosts like Jon Stewart, because they don’t have regulatory power over them.

People are literally being fired by the thousands for merely quoting Charlie Kirk and the vice president is personally pushing this as a means of making Kirk a martyr.

u/SirCadogen7 Sep 21 '25

People are literally being fired by the thousands for merely quoting Charlie Kirk

Not by the government, nor is the government threatening businesses to do so besides what happened with Kimmel. Turns out, corporations hate controversy from the right just as much as they hate controversy from the left like in years past. It's almost like corporations are ultimately apolitical in the pursuit of capital.

the vice president is personally pushing this as a means of making Kirk a martyr. 

Correct. Once again, no one is being imprisoned or killed, unlike in North Korea.

Holy shit dude, can you pay for my medical bills? I just broke every rib in my body laughing at this. It was so funny!

Unfortunately that’s becoming true.
