Where are they leaving to? Are they gonna sell their homes and move to Jo-Berg next door to you? Honestly sick of this dollar store Ben Shapiro bit you are running.

What are we supposed to do? We’ve set everything up for short term growth we have nothing in bank for when we can no longer exploit nature and labour. Everything is set up for the consumption of now, the growth of now. Even countries that have long term plans like China are still in a state of exploiting the demand for exponential growth, their mixed economies are designed to pivot from capital to communism but is that even possible without becoming isolationist? Probably not, the fight for resources will doom us all.

lmao half of the USA used to be Mexico, full of Mexicans, and you have second generation Americans telling Mexicans ‘to go back’. It’s like this bumper sticker I saw the other day ‘Iowa native’, the sheer audacity to have that on your car, it’s BOLD

The international community wants conflict to generate a war economy, saving capital from collapsing in on itself without its ‘infinite growth’. Can’t collapse if you keep manufacturing massively expensive and resource demanding goods. Also can’t kill too quickly and efficiently because then you can’t keep selling manufacturing weapons.

Not that you are guilty of it, but IMHO ‘both sides are bad’ argument has become a bad stance. While it is true for the most part, I feel like it’s become a stance to dismiss 1. What is happening in Palestine, 2. a hand wave to justify Israel. Only one side has the means to actualise their goals, backed by most of the west. It becomes a situation where the analysis becomes redundant if ‘both bad’. It’s also a safe statement and relatively non-offensive, especially in this near world wide spanning clash of culture and religion. This is definitely a unique situation where the media establishment (pro-Israel) is completely at odds with the grassroots (pro-palestine), this is an unprecedented division, that I’ve honestly never experienced before. Something has to be said about the dissemination of information through atypical means (tik tok, snapchat, yourube), because twenty years ago surely this would mirror the support for the ‘War on Terror’. I wouldn’t necessarily call this alternative dissemination a weaponisation of information but it is definitely information without context that a lot of people struggle to process materially, culturally, emotionally, and with the nuance of all the factors considered, we see this juxtaposition of cultivated message media v alternative gonzo information daily in this thread, and what we experience is an inability to see the forest for the trees in any capacity and becomes ouroboros of black and white morality arguing. They can’t even conceptualise they are dehumanising the other, which is ironic seeing as this is a struggle that is constantly trying to justify itself in such a method. There are so many issues that aren’t even addressed in this thread, what is even the point in addressing them? It’s such a tangled geopolitical thread of what-ifs, factions, end goals, the only thing I’m comfortable saying is that this is a conflict between a western-backed colonial state against an occupied land represented by a non-existent-state apparatus of teenaged Sunni nationalists; with the only resolution seemingly being the complete eradication of the Palestinian people, making any sort of thoughtful criticism and analysis of Hamas pointless in the long run. I truly believe the line in the sand has been fully crossed and their can be no resolution that isn’t a genocide, the intention is clear to me and Israel can’t continue exist without seeing this through. I don’t even bother to ask what Palestine will do if they have independence and sovereignty, because that ain’t happening even if Israel disappears. It’s a terrible thing to think but I think we are witnessing a truly horrific watershed moment of history that will have far reaching consequences beyond the immediate geographic area. This is the event that will actualise and normalise a the complete shift to right wing politics, this opens the door to things like project 2025 and the acceptance of these violent acts against people like immigrants, LGBTQ, religious minorities, and other at risk groups.

Absolutely delusional comments. The Nazis accomplished the murder of over six million people ranging from Roma, Jews, LGBTQ, and political dissenters; nearly in it's entirety in less than the calendar year of 1942. If we are loose with numbers round the victims down to 5,000,000 and lengthen the time span to 365 days, the Nazi murdered 13,698 people a day, which would eclipse the entire deaths on both sides of this war in less than a week, and still eclipsing the death totals since 1948 in two weeks. The downplaying of the Holocaust is truly shocking, and even the comparing of two events is 1. and injustice towards the victims of the Holocaust, 2. is reductive and an injustice towards the people of Palestine; why does the suffering of Palestine have to be benchmarked against the Holocaust and not speak for itself?

He was also physically and mentally handicapped to have a wretched existence.

I wonder why they want to die? Maybe because they are being tortured.

Wife’s uncle was born without one.

That's why it's funny though, just that sentence keeps me laughing

You can be socialist and still get that bag. The real hypocrisy is if the money is generated through exploitation What we can all agree on however is how funny this is.

I feel like the timing is a cynical move to take attention away from the PWHL. This is the dinosaur league that is the NHL.

Needs a noose

Blackburn Rovers is older than most countries for fucks sake

Spoilt child mindset, doesn’t even realise the rich nearly 200 year history of British football. Closest club to me was further than London to Edinburgh and was founded in 2005.

It’s simple. You’re overthinking it. The Vietcong live in Vietnam. The Taliban live in Afghanistan, regardless of the USA being near or far doesn’t change that.

Yeah, I don’t really get that ‘westerners aren’t ready’. Is anyone ever really ready for war, and when will war be on a ‘western front? The proxy wars keeps the westerners safe from harm, save those that get scooped up into the military War is an act that happens in faraway lands, to uncivilised people that don’t have democracy, which is the most pure, incorruptible, morally transcendent ideal, that could never be abused, manipulated, or exploited.

The bar keeps getting lower but our resident limbo champion keeps getting under.

Iran kills a Palestinian- ‘oh no my heart breaks, thoughts and prayers’ Israel kill Palestinians en masse - ‘there is no genocide against these terrorists’ unreal to read these sentiments
