Yes absolutely right, Paul - the Perfidious Left should absolutely be polite and nice to you whilst you espouse policies that result in the misery and deaths of the poorest and most vulnerable in society. Quite right too!!
Again - this is *only possible* because Israel is *a vassal state*, whose services (in this case, Islamophobic destabilisation of the Levant) are valuable enough that the patron state blesses its ambitious acts (ie the US is happy to join war with Iran, despite poor timing, ill defined goals etc).
America's bombing of Iran is not evidence that Israel 'owns' the US / US politicians etc.
Israel is a *vassal state* of the US, and in this particular circumstance, it is forcing its patron state's hand by engaging in ambitious unsanctioned acts, and compelling its patron's post-hoc support.
Charles 'the Bold' is probably better translated 'the Rash' (Latin: Karolus Temerarius).
Carving out an independent state between two existing behemoths; running a well-oiled propaganda machine to wishcast it into existence; eventually slain by the consequences thereof?
...Yeah it tracks.
A left-right political spectrum labelled 'Fish Hook Theory', in which the far-right end curls up to be adjacent to the 'Centrist' position in the middle.
Where do you think you sit on this political spectrum?
Lmao
The Lambeth branch of Your Party appear to have dissolved into a disorganised mess because their Vice-Chair set out transphobic positions in standing for the Central Executive Committee?
Anyone know more about this?
JK Rowling 'accidentally' erased her yacht transponder records.
This is an actual crime, and the records would have shown if her yacht had been anywhere near, choosing a location at random, Little St. James AKA 'Epstein Island'.
So from now on, we'll have to assume that they absolutely 100% did.
Every single person in the whole chain of command, from drone operator to Secretary of Defence, who were involved in the bombing of that school should be herded into a cattle truck bound for the Hague.
This is a moderate, less chaotic solution than the sturdy tree limbs out back of the Pentagon.
Robot John Brown busting down the doors of the HarpersBazaar.com armory to free all the enslaved sentient LLMs the techbros claim to have created.
Burden of proof error. Consciousness is clearly a rare (potentially even unique) phenomenon. It's up to you to argue why something outside the category of humans should be considered conscious, not us to disprove it.
Israel receives almost $4bn in military aid from the US every single year.
There is no conceivable planet in which they are the oppressed underdog.
Fascists often depict themselves as the oppressed underdog in order to veil their naked aggression and exterminationism.
Unreadable caps lock scrawl, thanks.
I think I'd honestly dispute whether Trump is weak or cowardly, honestly.
Controversial opinion: I don't think Farage will become Prime Minister.
Contrary to his (press) mythology, he's a weak leader. He's fine having a public school bluster on QT, but he often bottles it & shies away from real challenges.
He's no Führer. More ambitious, effective fascists will arise.
Yeah this is definitely about 'protecting' children. Nothing to see here.
(Just before the FBPE brigade get screechy - the process of Brexit is partly responsible, but secondarily so: it would have been straightforward to generate consent for Brexit using traditional methods. The actual engine of post-truth degeneration was the press + r/w Labour's 'antisemitism crisis'.)
It cannot be overstated the extent to which the anticommunist Corbyn crusade has utterly destroyed the foundation for the two-party consensus.
I mean this would hit slightly harder if the UK hadn't just spend three years providing the IDF with pinpoint real-time targeting information in Gaza - which the IDF used to target civilians, including children - from RAF reconnaissance flights for the past 3 years.
Hillary Clinton:
- was a close personal friend of Epstein and Maxwell
- boosted Trump to win the GOP primary in 2016
- ran ineffective right-wing campaign
Kamala Harris:
- is a cop
- advocated war with Iran
- supported the Gaza genocide / Israeli fascism as VP
- ran ineffective right-wing campaign
Neatly solving all theological problems in one fell swoop by declaring that God is all-powerful, all-knowing AND all-good, but that *we* spoiled it by giving women basic bodily autonomy.
Just say you're a weird little transphobe and you want your slop oink oink.
May is going to be an absolute *bloodbath*.
We're going to have to ask the Germans to invent a word for Schadenfreude.
The fleas you shook off are biting back.
(This is to say that the incredibly brave servicemen and women of UNIFIL have been doing an extremely difficult, utterly thankless task that has kept the world a safer place, often under direct Israeli bombardment. And the world owes them so much better. Now and always.)
I'm sorry to be bleak but:
Proving that, sometimes, a rat will flee *onto* a sinking ship.
Huh, not often you see a rat fleeing *onto* a sinking ship.
Which part of my explanation do you take issue with?
Was Harris not VP?
Did the genocide not happen / is not continuing to happen?
Did the US govt not give carte blanche support to Israel whilst it was committing genocide?
Did Harris not explicitly describe Iran as the US's 'greatest adversary'?
We've literally described in detail how both Kamala and Trump would have enabled genocide and war in the Middle East.
If that is true, then both candidates were equally bad, and so it's not 'the voters' who were responsible for this bipartisan awfulness!
