The stock market is on fire. Productivity is strong, and start-ups are booming. The United States’ GDP growth rate is double that of the European Union. The Biden administration helped create that economy.
Is this an admission about Nordstream?
is basically the whole liberal Dem mindset.
we are better stewards of Pax Americana than the other options (disregard all the violence and death we are doing)
tankies' tank struggles are tanking themselves
we just need a bit more give and tank
I found out about chapo.chat somehow a little while after the ban happened. I wasn't on r/cth much at all, but the idea of a new lefty lemmy instance sounded pretty cool. It just felt like my kinda place, and I've learned a lot here. I enjoy the full spectrum of shit posts to effort posts on offer. Comrades being comrades online, what's not to love?
Proudly herald the endorsement of Republicans could be added as well.
Got any links for this? Seems like very useful analysis.
it is for anyone that wants to argue with liberals based on data and reality, I think there's a few of those here
No intent to 'downplay' civilian deaths is contained here. Both conflicts are listed as equally as possible based on the data available. This is only intended to highlight the contradictions of liberal rhetoric with reality regarding these two conflicts.
I've noticed this on mobile already. Maybe it's just that my carrier. I have to use wifi to view many of the smaller media outlets that are sympathetic to Palestine. When not using wifi, most of them just timeout.

Could not find a chart with the breakdown "of them children" for Palestine on Statista.
Experts believe the real death toll in Gaza is at least ~4.4x what this shows, so IOF is more accurately ~40 times worse.
> Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext
Using this estimate, the civilian deaths per day average is 497.33 in Gaza.
>The UN agency said it verified the details of 8,119 people killed in Gaza from November 2023 to April 2024.
>Its analysis found around 44% of verified victims were children and 26% women. The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.
>About 80% of victims were killed in residential buildings or similar housing, the agency added.

the mask-on candidate losing to the mask-off candidate
I don't understand, Hillary, I did everything you recommended, and I still lost.
It's not your fault, Kamala.
And Hillary was so happy inside that her plan had worked perfectly.
If all these 'leftists' could just shutup about the ongoing genocide, then Harris might have won. Dick Cheney is better than these jokers.
Do you understand how anti-democratic this whole process is? Do you know how the electoral college works? Most votes have no significance due to this.
If you don't happen to live in the right counties in the highlighted states, your vote is essentially worthless. The 3rd party candidates received much less than Trump's margin of victory, so your vote shaming is just for your own benefit and entirely illogical.
And Republicans in the cabinet too
Why they all so upset? Very weird.
>We want them to be liberals. We don’t want them to be anti-Zionist. And I’ll say it positively: We want them to be liberals. And liberalism implies for American Jews support of Israel and Zionists.

!kamala-coconut-tree !biden-rember > but Trump will be worse for the Middle East
Just out of morbid curiosity, if you take the US military aid to Israel since oct 7th 2023 (17.9 billion USD as of oct 7th 2024), and divide it by the civilian casualties from Al-Aqsa Flood operation (~800 of which a significant portion were hannibalized by the IDF), it comes to ~22 million USD per dead civilian.

Republicans who have refused to bend to Trump insist the GOP can be rebuilt – but if he wins, all bets are off
Only 6 states really matter this election. The Dems are loudly admitting this here, but liberals will shame anyone that doesn't support blue genocide.
I'll dig up the link later.

>Is anti-Zionism a sin? We asked the rabbi whose viral Yom Kippur sermon begged the question
>A Q&A with Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue
>Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch has made advancing the Zionist cause a focal point of his work for more than 30 years at the forefront of Reform Judaism. A former IDF tank commander, Hirsch helped lead the push for the Reform movement’s official support of Israel in 1997. At Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, where he has served as senior rabbi since 2004, support for Israel is in the mission statement.
>But lately, Rabbi Hirsch has been wondering where it all went wrong with young American Jews. Since the Oct. 7 attack, he has used his pulpit to reflect on the trend of Jewish anti-Zionism, and the “uncomfortable reality” that many anti-Zionists are products of Reform institutions. He returned to that territory with a Yom Kippur sermon that charged anti-Zionist Jews with “turning your backs on our people.”
So what does Kamala wanting a Republican in her Cabinet mean? All the Cabinet members sit at the same table, right?

>“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”
Is there a 'transitive property of fascism' defined yet?
mild effort post about the Disney propaganda film and a link to the trailer: https://hexbear.net/post/3607696
one of the cultural artifacts of American Imperialism that is still highly relevant today
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Through_Air_Power_(film)
>Victory Through Air Power is an American animated documentary propaganda film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists on July 17, 1943. It is based on the 1942 book Victory Through Air Power by Alexander P. de Seversky.
>On December 8, 1941, Disney studios were essentially converted into a propaganda machine for the United States government. While most World War II films were created for training purposes, films such as Victory Through Air Power were created to catch the attention of government officials and to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers. Among the notables who decided after seeing the film that Seversky and Disney knew what they were talking about were Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
>The phrase "terror bombing" entered the English lexicon towards the end of World War II and many strategic bombing campaigns and individual raids have been described as terror bombing by commentators and historians. Because the term has pejorative connotations, some, including the Allies of World War II, have preferred to use euphemisms such as "will to resist" and "morale bombings".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing
This Disney propaganda film inspired the bombing campaigns of civilians and urban centers by the US and UK during WW2.
Also a bit of context on the author of the book:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_de_Seversky
>Of noble Russian parentage, Seversky was born in Tiflis, Russian Empire (now Tbilisi, Georgia). He entered a military school at age 10. Seversky's father was one of the first Russian aviators to own an aircraft and by the age of 14 his father had already taught him how to fly.
>During the 1917 Revolution, Seversky was stationed in St. Petersburg and remained in uniform at the request of the commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet. In March 1918, he was selected as an assistant naval attaché in the Russian Naval Aviation Mission to the United States. Seversky departed via Siberia and while in the U.S., decided to remain there rather than return to a Russia torn apart by the Revolution. Settling in Manhattan, he briefly operated a restaurant.
>As World War II approached, Seversky became engrossed in formulating his theories of air warfare. Shortly after the Attack on Pearl Harbor, he wrote Victory Through Air Power, published in April 1942, advocating the strategic use of air bombardment. [4] The best-selling book (No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, appearing first in mid-August 1942 and remaining in first place for four weeks) with five million copies sold. The book's popularity and hard-hitting message led to Walt Disney adapting the book into an animated motion picture (1943) of the same name where Seversky (who also served as the film's technical consultant) provided live-action commentary.
