“Piracy is the most effective form of artistic distribution these days. So be it.”

-Werner Herzog on NPR just now 🔥

it feels like my country is an assembly line for producing crimes against humanity which no one will ever punish, or even bother to pretend caring about, and it's making me crazy

Sarumon at the cuck orb

The Times’ complete unwillingness to cover election subversion accurately when they’ve been given this criticism over and over again must be intentional.

Hezbollah descends on the Litani region, and Israel will have to divert resources from Iran The fact that the IDF invests most of its intelligence and air resources in Iran is the main reason why the terrorist organization is increasingly successful in harming soldiers and communities in the north: The ID's entry into Lebanon has brought the soldiers closer to the range of anti-tank missiles, and the Radwan force deployed in the field detects their movements from the ground and air - and carries out attacks. Eradicating the firing squads near the Litani will require diverting intelligence efforts and withdrawing aircraft from fighting in Iran. 14:12 | Published: Ron Ben Yishai

A lot of people denied it for the sake of political expediency before January 20th 2025 but the evidence is pretty much insurmountable: the Israelis as they currently exist actually can not sustain the kind of pan-aggressive posture they have towards the entire region without guaranteed US support.

nah

God I hate this idea. People are not one more image of a dead baby away from radicalisation. We don't lack will, we lack any real means to act on our will because the left has ceased to be a political project and become a few thousand people trying to Post their way out of Posting.

yeah after the bolsheviks had already seized power lol

— Babe? You're flashing green, the universal color of poison damage. What's wrong??

— Y-you fool . . . Poison is . . . (cough) . . . purple . . . I'm dying of . . . an acid elemental status condition . . *

in other words, actually working with other factions of the left that aren’t committed to revolutionary action rather than screeching about “social fascism” and alienating everyone who doesn’t already agree with you

modern day socialists need to be as perceptive and strategically agile as lenin was rather than looking back with rose colored glasses

different words mean different things

everybody is so stupid

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.

This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

twitter is increasingly convinced significant US casualties are being hidden and while I doubt it's 560 i'm seeing breathlessly quoted...does it really seem likely six reservists were killed and that's it?

all this lecturing about not caring about dead koreans and indonesians and whatnot comes off a bit hollow if you know anything about what happened to those countries in the following decades

the soviets were helping the kmt while america was still openly trading with japan lol

this is just diluting the concept of fascism into meaninglessness

why doesn't the american working class simply replicate the exact structures and conditions of 1917 russia

A multipolar would would be chaos in the short-term, and wouldn't be pleasant at the start.

But is shackling to world to the plow in order to serve the interests of a country that would do *this* really our best outcome? No other trees can grow because we can't remove the one built to do *this*?

Cupich is a real one and is absolutely spitting fire here. this is a more courageous statement than 90% of what we’ve heard from Democrats

This dumb prick won the popular vote, this should end the debate about whether Americans are idiots

But hey eggs cost 50 cents more in late 2024 so what are you gonna do

America is the great satan

I really do not want the consequences of Trump's actions but in a way my brain *needs* them to happen because it simply can't be healthy the way we keep living in this state of "nothing really matters ever"

From Tehran: "It’s catastrophic. The smoke has entered our homes, the flames are still rising and it feels like the sun is shining… The flames are so bright the highways look like it’s day time. So bright but doesn’t feel right... Help please!”

I think my most damning critique of capitalism is that it rewards and incentivizes people doing Trump shit and punishes people doing this stuff.

Caring for elderly animals should be paid six figures, doing "real estate" deals should be at minimum a civil offence.

Mind destroyingly stupid NYT headline: Trump echoes fdr and grant in calling for “unconditional surrender”

In a year of stupid headlines, what to even say, this has to be among the stupidest and frankly most offensive yet

I think it's only fair to hand Iran our current President and everyone in his cabinet and let them do what they will.
