That can’t be real.

It is, but now the future of Kangz2: The Avengening has been put into
trouble because the lead Kang Kang’d out at his girlfriend by beating the
shit out of her.

US military endorsements? I thought I knew this guy from somewhere.

Turns out he was the face of the US Militaries unanimously panned “pls die
for us again Whitey” ad campaign, which got Hollywood tier ratio’ing, and
even mentioned a “Kang variant.”

I thought that the US Army account handler was having a moment of
subversion, where he was allowed to let his true feelings shine through.
Now I think that it was probably just some dumb fag who was unironically
trying to capitalize on the Avengers popularity, and Jonathan Majors’
upcoming role as Chief Kang.

Speaking of, how’s their recruitment doing?

Stripes:

They’re not doing so well, something I’ve covered before.

Time and time again people have predicted that ZOG will let their foot off
the gas, so as to keep the American Military in half-decent form. Now it
looks like they’ll just keep the nuclear weapons working, and let
everything else rot. Or maybe there are middle managers who are going buck
wild. Who knows?
