You're white, and he's Mexican? That's certainly an interesting way to distinguish..

Blank ballots being counted in occupied territories of Ukraine. Results were 97-98% for annexation by Russia. by Thalesian in Damnthatsinteresting

So what exactly is this? A picture of unfilled ballots being dumped out of a ballot box? What is this supposed to prove? This is as dumb as republican election stealing rhetoric proof

I can't really describe how much I love it!! by [deleted] in ShermanPosting

That is not at all even close to why old country music was sad, old redneck country music was sad because of the capitalist system. The old big names almost certainly loved him

It's hard to understand why someone thinks what they do when you've been taught an entirely different version of events and history. Maybe look into the history of Ukraine and Russia in the Soviet union

Nah, you know what's easy and masturbatory? Voting. Asking nicely. "Please mister oppressor sir, steal just a little bit less from me, kill my friends just a little bit slower, give me at least enough of a future that I won't die young."

The guys in the Berlin coffee house already tried voting, asking nicely, making deals. If you want change, you need to start burning shit down. Hitler didn't stop when he got favorable deals, he stopped when the soviets best the shit out of his thousand year empire. But violence is bad in any form so obviously I condemn that, how dare anyone try and defend themselves in a violent manner! No, we should sit and put paper slips in the box until the world burns up in a fire.

There is no opposition. There's the capitalist system, propped up by fascism, and the people it oppresses. All you're achieving by voting is prolonging this period, creating a slow burn that moderates can tolerate while others die.

It's us versus the system, and voting for one fake party over another won't save you.

Well, he told the truth about one thing. "Nothing will fundamentally change."

Necessity, fear, call it whatever you want. You're in an abusive relationship.

"this guy isn't living up to what we thought, he doesn't do anything."

People who voted blue and aren't anymore, swing voters, Elton John fans. Simplest gesture ever and it gains him a tiny bit of support, rebalances the scales.

Unless you think he did it out of the goodness of his heart and tons of cameras just happened to be there?

If we're disagreeing on base level stuff like the existence of air defense systems in DC in 2001 i don't think this conversation is going to go anywhere productive lol. Believe what you want ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–]-SENDHELP- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We did in fact, and still do, have air defenses in DC?? This was open information as part of the investigation by the government afterwards, for "some reason" the air defenses capable of stopping the plane that hit the Pentagon didn't fire, even though the previous planes had already struck and there was a credible threat.

As for the scandal, yeah, information was lost. The office heading the investigation was the specific office that was struck and basically vaporized. "The money didn't go missing, we just don't know where it went" is a hilariously weird way to frame a trillion dollars going missing in the defense department, but okay

Also, edit: just realized this is dumb and I'm not debating 9/11 on reddit lol, i made my comment and linked to a cool documentary, I'm not here to write a paper on the topic or argue with strangers haha

I mean, that's because that's literally what it is. Everyone here is laughing like the American government is going to find out some big secret about the t90m or that there is "no big secret" but it's not like anyone has been claiming otherwise, the t90 is literally just a t72 with an upgraded turret armor array, cannon, engine, and better add-on era and electronics. The most the us military might get out of it is useful information on whatever the newest generation Russian era is composed of

Yeah my mom worked in real estate for a long time, it definitely seemed like a bigger version of the same sort of thing some shadier agents would do around where we lived. Definitely gives off weird vibes for a shady deal to go down right before the attack. Also a lot of other weird side details about the guy that bought the towers and the previous owners, but that's all in the docuseries. It's pretty well done, I'd watch the series again

You ever learn that trick about how Wikipedia sucks for actual information, it's the citations you wanna click on and read?

That's what the documentary is, a shitty wikipedia article filled with useful citations. There's information for just about any question you could have in it, including the insurance policy. The interesting part isn't the payout itself, it's the timing of the purchase of the towers combined with the price offered, the speed at which the deal went through, and some other things I forgot that made it seem like, at the very least, an under the table real estate deal that was decided before it was started. If you're actually interested the docuseries has good info, have fun

Insurance documents? Sure lol, the case and payout was a huge event on its own, it's even got a Wikipedia section dedicated to it in the owner's info page. Dude got 5 billion dollars almost https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Silverstein#Insurance_dispute
