I am currently engaging in a “debate” with a genuine psychopath on Twitter. So we’re talking about the idea of a draft, he says his own brother said he wouldn’t do it, so he would drag him to the authorities and force him to go. So we get to talking, me trolling mostly, he says his raised the guy and is a vet and if a draft comes, we should all “do our part”. At this point, I started pressing him more, then he says he loves the US more than his brother. THEN he says he never admitted to loving the kid at all.
So these are the kinds of people that want boots on the ground over in isr@el, unfeeling sociopaths with a single minded loyalty to the state and nothing else.
Does the guy even own land? Because if not, the guy is objectively a bootlicker.
I think he was some kind of fisherman.

GDP is the economist’s version of fantasy football. As in, it’s all fun and games until you start thinking that your imaginary numbers qualify you to go against the real thing, be it an economy or actual professional athletes.
I guess that’s why China’s shifted to reporting household disposable income lol
My guess is that someone mentioned it at some point, but I really haven’t seen anyone talking aobut how that bullshit about palestinians beheading babies invented by israelis is just the blood libel but against palestinians.
it’s been wild watching my local news station invent reality the last few years. First with running non-stop pro-Ukraine coverage and now doing the same with pro-Israel coverage, with absolutely zero pushback against any of the claims no matter how ridiculous they are. I watched coverage of the recent released hostages and they kept talking about how horrible the hostages were treated despite all the video and statements from the hostages saying they were treated well. Also they now just refer to any and all Palestinian resistance fighters as “terrorists.” At this point it feels like I’m living in a parody.
You know what’s really fucked up? The Pro-Israel coverage has been so omnipresent and over the top that I’ve started to think the pro-Ukraine stuff couldn’t have been as bad.
That’s no accident. I’m convinced that the pro-israel media blitz is partly to deflect attention from the ongoing US defeat in Ukraine.
Local news is owned by conglomerates and is told what to say from the top down. when it comes to stuff like this.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
oh I don’t doubt it, I just specified local since it’s the only one I’ve been hate-watching recently
700 Palestinian Martyrs last night alone.
I will never forgive Herr Bibi. He is a hyper racist fascist, in the cloth of Hitler himself.
I will never forgive Isn’t Real. How they use the Holocaust to try to deflect any accountability is so fucking disgusting. Like the Holocaust card needs to be categorically revoked from Zionists when they are doing all the Nazi shit.

Love no one hitting you up all weekend and as soon as monday rolls around your phone is blowing up cause people need shit from you. What a life
Went to a march for Palestine yesterday. I’m in a pretty progressive city, but it was still surprising just how many people showed up and how many bystanders showed their support. There are thousands of people marching every day for Palestine all over the country and the media is just ignoring it.
There must’ve been millions out on the street throughout the world this weekend alone. Support is overwhelming. If only it could bring us further that we are today.
We marched on Saturday and I had never seen so many riot 🐷, when the march reached the highway ramp they pulled out AR-15s, harass and beat up front marchers. So instead everyone turned down to Lakeshore. Unmarked 🐖 van with mounted cam was monitoring everyone. Though still, thousand of people came out to show solidarity. Possibly the largest Palestinian rally since 2021 that was 10,000 turnouts.
I made the mistake of listening to NPR this morning. Apparently “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free” is hate speech.
Aime cesaire was correct about liberals: there is no difference between a liberal in the colonies and a Nazi in Europe.
hatred of fascism and genocide 😇
Nice Polite Republicans
There’s this misinfo going around that because Hamas uses it like every single other Palestinian liberation group, that it’s a “Hamas term.”
Even though it was in use decades before Hamas even existed. But what the fuck is objective reality to liberals?
Hamas uses the word “they” so clearly pronouns are Hamas terms.
In Germany it is, legally speaking.
Love to everyone 💜💙💚🧡

A couple links to help [redacted] the zionist in your heart:
-
Israel collaborates with neo-nazis… [https://www.thenationalnews.com/a-paradox-of-hate-extremist-israelis-ally-with-neo-nazis-1.428879](yes, nazis.) This is why westoids can both hate Jews and support Israel, they see Israelis as temporarily useful vermin.
-
Not to mention Israeli is kapo central and therefore has neo-nazi gangs in it.

One of our senior party figures will soon release a book called Mutiny about the Global South getting freed from the Western hegemony and how that’s a GOOD thing. We had a discussion about it today at my local action group and one of my comrades got sort of mad about it, asking how we could support orgs like BRICS when India for example is a right wing capitalist state. Luckily other comrades and myself were able to tell her how critical support works but I don’t think she fully agrees.
The book will be translated in 10 different languages so I will see if I can share it here as well.
Where is this?
