Yeah right? Those cutting patterns are so cool!
I’m skeptical that the US could stop Israel from using nukes if a faction of ultra-fascists, with control over them, decide to go down with the ship.
Potential sabotage, or end stage military-industrial grift?
I think it was just a hypersonic ballistic missile.
yeah, there's plenty of ways they could retaliate that would be meaningful, but are less flashy in the WWIII.
...like arming Ansarallah.
I pray to the pragmatist wing of the deep state, please I beg of you, let Ukraine go already! The proxy war is exhausted! There's no need to escalate this further!
I'm sure the worst possible outcome will happen though. Actions with Israel have made it clear they're going to go down with the ship, in the stupidest and most violent path possible.
I'm more wondering about the first bit. It's very possible it's made up. But I could also see the kind of guy who organizes a coup doing something like that.
What are we feeling on this. Real or bullshit?
A lot of liberals can see issues in society, problems. People being oppressed, people unable to afford to live, increasing isolation etc.
But they resist “feel-good” solutions to these problems, that people less educated than them might come up with. Housing too expensive? The answer is clearly not to provide free or subsidized housing. That sounds good, but it would cause untold economic pain, making things worse. Instead we need a 5 year committee exploration into tax breaks for first time home buyers with a small business. This is just rational behavior. Intelligent behavior.
This type of logic can be applied in every situation, where they add “depth” and “complexity” to every situation, so that they can rationalize their slavish adherence to the status quo, and so that they can feel superior to the unenlightened populists.
He has said he respects PSL for doing on the ground organizing and stuff, independent of the electoral voting side which he does think is kind of pointless ultimately.
It's so revealing when shitheads make complaints like that. For all their talk of "biological facts" in regards to stuff like conditioning, they can't help but reveal the base misogyny at the core.
Like how the hell do you ever justify that women can't shoot a gun. Some of the most famous sharpshooters of all time have been women. Does estrogen make bullets go bad?
I don't know. If this was the prelude to a serious invasion, wouldn't they start the offensive right after the communications attacks? I mean I'm not saying they won't. Israel has certainly developed enough terminal fascist brainworms to attack at bad times tactically, but it seems like if this was planned to be in conjunction with an invasion, they'd have started already.
Though I suppose it's possible that this attack will be enough to shift their attention northward, separate of a true plan, the feelings of triumph making them stumble their way into an actual invasion. I could see factions in the government being stupidly confident in this moment.
Wait this has to be a joke right? They plotted their way to walk through Death Valley. No one is that stupid right?
Yeah, the idea of walking through Nevada, when you’re not extremely experienced, is insane to me.
Yeah, all you really need to control a narrative is seed comments, enough bots to give the comments momentum, so that randoms uncritically believe it, and a mod team that's either passive or sympathetic. If you have that, the momentum will build itself.
Yeah. I don’t disagree that the transition would be rough, that there would be a reactionary tide against it. I just also think that there’s a very real underclass in a precarious position, regardless of the larger income compared to worldwide averages, simply because the base costs of living are also inflated.
I think even with a massive re-evaluation of the dollar, that living standards could still increase for a lot of Americans. A large part of the domestic economy is based around the financialization of critical needs, like healthcare and housing, with prices grossly inflated.
Even if things generally get more expensive, so much would be improved for so many people with just guaranteed housing and the ability to go to a doctor. I don’t think the impact of that can be overstated.
This lady led a secret coup to depose the bourgeois government of the United States, installing a council republic with minimal bloodshed. Now, the next phase comes, to secure revolutionary power, and quell the counter revolution.
Girls rock.
Republican senators were alarmed and relieved when they learned that their colleague Sen Joni Ernst had chocked during a party lunch on Thursday and was rescued by Sen. Rand Paul who gave her the Heimlich maneuver.
>Republican senators were alarmed and relieved when they learned that their colleague Sen. Joni Ernst had choked during a party lunch on Thursday and was rescued by Sen. Rand Paul, who gave her the Heimlich maneuver.
>Ernst appeared to be making jokes about the experience on social media, tweeting, “Can’t help but choke on the woke policies Dems are forcing down our throats. Thanks @randpaul!”
>“I didn’t actually see it,” said Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican of Texas. “We’ve had that happen one other time to one of our members. It’s kind of scary.”
Thank God. We almost had a tragedy. Imagine losing two American heroes in one day.
Thank you for your service, Mr. Paul. !07
>In a move that critics are calling “one of the most tasteless events I’ve ever heard of,” Berkeley landlords are celebrating the end of eviction protections in the East Bay city with a cocktail party. The Berkeley Property Owners Association, a trade group for rental property owners in Berkeley, apparently believes regaining the right to throw people out of their homes is cause for celebration — or at least a networking event. The “Fall Social Mixer: Celebrating the End of the Eviction Moratorium” is set for the evening of Sept. 12; the event was first spotted by Berkeleyside.
>About an hour passed before protesters entered the bar, at which point multiple fights broke out, Berkeleyside reported. According to one witness, a male BPOA member who attended the event slapped a female protester in the face and pushed her. Videos of the event show other violent altercations, including a protester knocking a party attendee’s eyeglasses off and a party attendee swinging their fist toward a protester.
Statement by the Landlord association: >“We condemn the actions of hostile dissidents who disrupted a private gathering at a local restaurant to intimidate, harass, and physically assault our members who are law-abiding small business owners,” read part of a statement, which was shared with SFGATE.
"Hostile dissidents" is some interesting phrasing for local residents chanting outside of a bar.
There are many ways to do it
>In the queue of about 130 people, only 20 are male. Men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine unless they qualify for an exemption. Four of those waiting are young lads who look close to turning 18. To avoid the risk of mobilisation, they must leave before then. Of course, some men find ways to get out anyway, legally or illegally. On August 11th President Volodymyr Zelensky announced he was sacking the heads of the country’s regional military recruitment centres, where officials were alleged to be selling travel permits for up to $10,000. “Bribery during war is treason,” Mr Zelensky railed.
>In the initial period after the invasion most men trying to get across were driven by fear, says Colonel Trachuk. Now she reckons half are looking for work. But those trying to escape military service must live at risk of being apprehended by recruitment officers and press-ganged. At the beginning of the invasion Ivan, a 42-year-old musician in Uzhhorod, contemplated enlisting, but changed his mind when he saw coffins arriving. Now, he says, he is in constant fear of being called up: “I feel like I am hanging in the air.”

Yehiel Indore, the man in question, was released to house arrest two days ago.

The most recent Chapo episode covered and dunked on the New York Times and their transphobia regarding "debates" over trans healthcare. A bunch of people "just wanting to debate" rolled in, giving all kinds of wonderful takes that you can imagine.
For some reason, the mod team has been leaving their comments, and deleting some people dunking on them. Looking a little deeper, the new head mod installed after Mary was exiled is a stupidpol poster.
All in all, not great.
