Where will “I’ll attack them coz they attacked me coz I attacked them coz they attacked me…” finally lead to?

The end of Israel as an apartheid genocidal settler-colonial state. You can look to South Africa for an example.

The point is that Nagasaki and Hiroshima weren’t exceptional, but rather typical of US bombing strategies against civilian populations that the US has continued to use into the modern day.

IIRC the damage inflicted by the atomic bombings weren’t especially noteworthy compared to the rest of the bombing campaign, and it was more a way to test out their new toys. If the nukes hadn’t been used but conventional bombing had continued, it would likely have had a similar result. This video by Shaun lays out a pretty compelling case that the Japanese surrender was due to the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria.

This is all ignoring of course that despite the insistence of unconditional surrender, the Americans accepted surrender with conditions and allowed the emperor to continue to hold his titles anyway. There’s definitely something to be said about taking maximalist positions just to make a point even when they don’t actually care about several of the goals that make up those positions.

This is apparently not the original version, but in the context in which it’s used on hexbear, this is the full image:

President Xi, the people of Occupied Cascadia yearn for freedom, please send Chengdu J-20 stealth fighters.

I guess “The US will very likely end the world in nuclear hellfire” doesn’t roll of the tongue as well.

You forgot Women’s Beach Volleyball.

There is no threat from an electoral left third party in the US, and the Democrats would rather lose to the Republicans than stop the genocide, so no, there is nothing to be learned.

He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.

Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

Partly (the article does refer to it being the language of NATO), but it looks to be more about joining the EU.

I did this at my work and got a little dongle that displays a string of numbers I have to enter when prompted.

They want the ability to shoot down other countries’ satellites when they go to war with them. Things like disabling communication satellites and GPS (or Russia’s equivalent, GLONASS).

Kessler Syndrome? Never heard of it.

Blowback, The Dollop, and occasionally Citations Needed but I’ve let that one accrue a huge backlog I may never get through.

“Patriotic Socialist”, which should set off alarm bells for being awfully close to “National Socialist”. They’re doing the exact same thing the nazis did, attempting to use some bits of left-wing rhetoric to appeal to the working class while simultaneously espousing extreme right wing and anti-socialist political beliefs, in this case usually Trump’s. Some of them seem to be suspiciously well-funded for what you’d expect from tiny fringe political organizations.

For the record it’s 5 white people, 1 Palestinian, 1 Indian-australian. And he still doesn’t care, but the optics of being seen not to care would be bad. Seems like he’s now aware that he’s going to eat shit in the election this fall and is trying to appear as though he opposes the genocide while doing nothing to stop it.

If they’re not executing nazis in the streets they’re not stopping them from assuming power.

to news weirdos.

That would require the dems to oppose those things when in reality conservatism and being pro-Israel are core democratic party values. They’re far more likely to push out anyone who opposes this genocide.

Only cool people are capable of doing it as a bit
