You must be young. The Iranians and other parts of the middle east have referred to us since at least the 80s, and probably before.

When we brought a bunch of Nazis in after WWII and installed them in positions of importance (like heading NASA by Wernher von Braun) I think we gave them a pretty reasonable argument.

Enlightenment all of the features, gorgeous, and lightweight.

$800 million worth is giving a lot of value to something they can barely give away. Maybe $800K worth of material after the cost of dismantling.

Common move from the isrealis where they take Palestinian posts to sell, but we want extra outrage when the Russians do it and we assume poisoning.

Be nice if we at least pretended to have some moral baseline between the two countries.

Isreal like that game of pretend. They believe anti zionist Jews are traitors.

Don’t forget the genius DNC folk, including HRC thought a pied piper strategy of boosting the circus peanut was a good idea.

If the Russians and Chinese did anything it was just capitalizing on an unforced error by the hubris of the centrist. One again, bernie would have won, but that was more distasteful to the ruling class than fascism.

And let them know it hurts for a few days, so get it on a Friday.

Young democrats don’t exist. Young independents didn’t vote for dems because the dems offer them nothing. When people said bernie was the compromise it was the truth. He’s not far enough left to make the left happy, but was far enough to get votes.

Bullshit sentence. Ukraine isn’t national security.

Thank you for your service. Unfortunately it is worth it and a lot more of us need to be doing our part so we can avoid getting caught by the state.

Politics is not the antithesis of violence. It’s literally ceding the right to violence only to the state because it’s less personally risky. When the state maintains a modicum of restraint is generally a tolerable arraignment. When the state becomes fascist is time to reclaim the right to violence away from the state.

You expect cops to arrest their friends? You have a very charitable view of the kind of people that become cops.

We fought a whole war about it. The ones left alive got moved into high government positions with project paperclip, leading to the right wing course we’ve been on ever since. At a minimum they need to be made afraid to broadcast their bigotry.

Don’t fall for it. The majority are apolitical. If the dems had given anything to regular people the extra non voters that came out against trump in 2020 would have come out again. The failure of democrats to bring out voters doesn’t imply the non voters are Nazis. It implies the dems aren’t really that worried or they would have made concessions to the regular citizens instead of making sure “nothing will fundamentally change”.
