Setteler Colonialism always creates the absolute worst, most violent possible culture and people. Boers, Americans, Rhodesians, etc.
England, the original colonial NIMBYs
Tommy Burgers!
"perverts per capita" may be the greatest metric nate's ever come up with
Goatsack lambarack is a great couple words
"Snap into that tree in Florida" must be the wrestling equivalent of "Watch out for that tree, Ian!"
The names are getting the same reaction that Cyclone was getting from Nick
One thing you missed in all the discussion of Kruger’s Horse ASMR: the name of Paardekraal, where the Boers assembled, means “horse corral”…
Kruger: psychopathically racist (Khorne), remedies that infect himself (Nurgle), makes up his own sect of religion (Tzeentch)... All this guy needs is a sex party and we have the fuckin Boerus Heresy
Boerus Heresy sounds like if you just read the Black Library while mocking English
Tom's great, but I'm hoping he either skipped this one or kept that ridiculous Dutch accent to a minimum.
Watschever doe yeu meen? Heesh native
Over religious folks who use religion to justify there indifferences and racism with no valid base of evidence is one of the most infuriating things. Soon in a debate when they are in the ropes, they can throw the “well it’s my personal religious belief” or “That’s not what God says” then proceeds to spew the most hateful crao you ever heard. Reminds me of my neighbors. Am I a bad person for laughing knowing his wife habitually cheats on him because of him being an alcoholic ultra-conservative.
If anyone has only read the Bible and refuses to read anything else, I think it's pretty safe to say you just kill that guy, because shit's going to get AWFUL if you don't.
With all this horse punching talk, I'm obligated to bring up the probably apocryphal story of Roberto Duran getting super drunk and knocking out a horse. Even the equine should fear Manos de Piedra.
I’d pay good money to see any man or woman do a Roman Gladiatorial match but instead of a Lion, make it a Horse from Skyrim.
I thought it was a war with pigs. Lightweight disappointed.
Pigs are no emu damn it
FLCL Reference!
someone got it!
Krueger did the wood beast challenge https://youtu.be/80sCD2p0W1Q?si=JjQNrFLspwZLnJQX
wait a minute I know a Kruger from South Africa oh fuck oh shit
*Starts aggressively remembering everything
Natives giving the boers slaves gave me the same vibe of the eastern empire bribing the Huns to hopefully leave them alone. Just trying to pay off the ravenous hoard. Honestly that might be too cruel a comparison to be compared to the boers
Boers 🤝 Nazis Being so insanely evil even the British are the good guys in comparison
Dr. Doofenschmirtz ass line
DJ Danarchy shoutout!!!
yeah did he make the new llbd theme?
To put it in terms of the podcast extended universe of which LLBD is a part of: a lot of people are boering to die.
Boered to Death
I can't believe you all went for Hogan and Macho Man and nobody said "The Ultimate Boerior"
Die Ulteime Kryger
The Ultimate Warrior canonically Boer.
Trek Boers is my least favourite William Shatner novel
The status effect icon for Britain is a green, rotten ham being rained on
hulk hogan has a beer called “real american beer” and it’s somehow even more watery than coors light
The brewers understood the assignment.
As a resident of Jacksonville, FL I heartly approve of the guys shitting on Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Hope this series isn’t too boering
Joe and the boys dancing on the grave of imperialism only for it to reach up and snatch one of them by the ankle.
Every time they think they're out, it pulls them back in.
before it was big enough to be called capetown they had to call it scarftown
dad, no
Babe wake up, Joe trying to pronounce Dutch names just dropped
Yawns* I’m here babe. How bad cou…O jee
Warhammer BoerDK
The planet will break before colonialism does lol
Gonna listen to 40k audiobooks because I’m sure it’ll be less grimdark
