If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they're lying.

Evidence or GTFO.

  • Yeah, but they lost in the sense that the cost-benefit of conflict on the other side of the world was no longer worth it, not an existential loss. And they were fighting people whose backs were up against the wall in a big way. A Vietnamese farmer didn't have the option to sit around in air conditioning watching TV.

    The thing people don't realize about guerrilla warfare is that being a guerrilla really fucking sucks. Nothing is safe, you're constantly on the run and crawling through the dirt, no security from bombs falling, no secure supply lines, etc. You need a reliably supportive population to make it work.

    If you compare a Vietnamese rice farmer to an average modern day American, you'd be hard-pressed to find two people more different from each other.

    I'm all for armed resistance, but it's important to look at the specific material conditions and not just assume the same tactics will be viable.

  • Man you’re really out of touch with the Arab community here.

    That was one organization, and does not in any way reflect the way the community actually voted. I know you're chomping at the bit to find a reason to laugh at them and celebrate their deaths because of your sickness, but that doesn't mean you get to hunt down one fringe group and hold them as representative of the whole Arab population.

    Arab Americans are not immune to the same idiotic brainworms that infect you and most other Americans, which say if one side is evil then the other side must be good. It is only natural that some people would turn to Trump while witnessing the unequivocal evil committed by the Biden administration. Most of them were smart enough to realize that both are unequivocally evil, much smarter than most Americans are about it. Of course, this is difficult to accept due to propaganda and due to the desperate conclusions you arrive at by acknowledging reality. It is only natural that some turned to the side that wasn't actively in the process of committing genocide, regardless of how irrational it was.

    20% voted for the blue leopard and 20% voted for the red leopard, but the majority voted for the wise, rational, and correct option and voted third party. Sorry if if that makes it harder for you to get off.

  • They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.

    ???

    Which guy did they campaign for?

  • My apologies, I must have misunderstood.

    In that case, the best way to ensure a politician who supports a certain cause comes along is to conditionally support politicians only when they support said cause.

  • Not as stupid as treating the moral line against genocide as more flexible than the bounds of political acceptability our rulers have attempted to impose.

    You people are dooming us more surely than anything else. Even if a democrat won every election, it would change nothing and we would still be right on track to fascism. It was your genius strategy of, "Accept literally anything, make no demands under any circumstances" that brought us into this situation in the first place. If you had shown any indication that you were capable of acting based on values or principles, the democrats would've known better than to think they could get away with this. Even now, you're trying to prevent them from receiving the message that they would need to hear in order to win next time.

  • What a nice little rationalization you have for not regarding them as human.

    Has there ever been a people more arrogant than your kind? When you look through the past, you see all these cases of genocide, not one of them justified, and you think, "Ah, but they were all stupid. I'm so smart that when I support it, it's the only rational, objectively correct decision." It doesn't even give you a moment of pause. You don't even have the decency to speak about it with the gravity it deserves. You gleefully watch people die because it gives you the satisfaction of believing in your own rightness and superiority over the fools who actually give a damn. Meanwhile, you are so shortsighted and unimaginative that you think the laws imposed by our mortal rulers are as rigid and unchangable as natural law.

    Honestly, the more I talk to people like you, the more I understand religious people. Much as I dislike religion, if it provides immunization against your way of thinking, perhaps it's worth it! Is there any way of thinking that's worse than yours?

  • The area was levelled under Biden. There would be zero restraint either way. The limiting factors are the groups actually fighting against the genocidal American Empire and its pet rabid dog.

  • The best way to ensure a politician who supports a cause comes along is to support politicians unconditionally whether they support it or not.

    And the people who think that genuinely think it's the rest of us who are stupid lmao

  • CIA offers buyouts to entire workforce to align with Trump priorities, WSJ reports

  • Kennedy fired the architect of the CIA and planned to significantly cut their budget. What has Trump done that antagonizes them at anything close to that level?

    Y'all just think because you personally don't like Trump, the CIA must not like him either. But the CIA does not share your interests or values, in fact, they're pretty much completely opposite.

  • NFL will remove ‘End Racism’ from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl

  • Yes, it is. You're upset about being shown an anti-racist message, and the alternative to that, whether you acknowledge it or not, is that you will be shown an advertisement in the same space. So it's 100% accurate to say that you dislike seeing an anti-racist message so much that you'd rather be shown an ad.

  • Oh, I see. Your problem is that you're concerned it's taking up space... a space that would otherwise be filled with an advertisement trying to sell you something. Interesting.

  • Reducing CIA headcount

    So the reason they wouldn't take buyouts is because they were offered?

    But also, fracturing US alliances, stopping USAID, removing the US from international agreements that it could use as diplomatic soft power leverage, and just being a general jackass.

    "General jackassery" is not going to cause the CIA to assassinate a president. The CIA are generally jackasses lol. Fracturing alliances, I'm not sure that the CIA cares and I'm not sure how much of an effect his shenanigans will actually have in the long term. Some members of the CIA might prefer if he didn't withdraw from international agreements, but in the grand scheme of things, I imagine it's pretty small potatoes to them. The CIA certainly has the power to slap a president that gets out of line, but it's not as if they micromanage every decision. Is any of that really enough to make it "shocking" that they're cooperating?

    If Trump's really kneecapping the CIA that badly, I guess it's the one good thing he's done. More realistically, I assume he's greenlighting them on all sorts of horrible shit behind closed doors and couldn't be happier with him.
