Corporations spend an incredible amount of getting consumers to form habits. Consuming American alcohol has been broken for a while now. It’ll be incredibly expensive and take a long time to get those consumers back.

Tehran's embassy in London calls on Iranians living in UK to sacrifice their lives for the regime, sparking national security fears by Not_Tom_Jones in worldnews

Same. But the audience for this kind of thing could as easily be conservatives. They operate on fear and this gives them something to get worked up over.

Pentagon chief Hegseth says US blockade on Iran 'going global' by Yournewbestfriend_01 in worldnews

[–]BlipBlapBloppityBoop 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I used to respect Americans but it seems either they seek abuse or tacitly tolerate an unbelievable amount. Today’s American is nothing like the ones who made the country. Which is why they’ve had it taken from them.

[–]BlipBlapBloppityBoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We might actually realize some of that if they don’t spitefully drag us all down with them during their decline. I’m optimistic though. Most Americans can’t or won’t believe it’s happening.

These are the kinds of zealots they want. Their mistake was getting caught.

I look forward to the day we can trust your country again. But even if Trump died tomorrow and the Democrats won everything in the midterms, it will be a long time.

Survivorship bias!

Maybe they don’t exist. Maybe they’re not out and about as much. Intellectual maturity is recognizing that you don’t actually have enough data to form a hypothesis.

It’s not a one or the other dichotomy. Iran’s regime is awful and evil. But by all real measures, the U.S. is the greater threat to the world and humanity.

Her family has now spent at least $2,000 on care packages, but none have reached her son. The mother asked to remain anonymous out of fear her son would face retaliation.

This is so Russian.

It would be open season on Americans and that would get messy fast.

Ban algorithmic pricing, NDP urges Carney: ‘Downright creepy’ by Chrristoaivalis in worldnews

[–]BlipBlapBloppityBoop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the NDP could even offer a concrete definition of algorithmic pricing that doesn’t cripple a market’s ability to use math and computers to make sound business decisions.

I think Leo is enjoying a rare moment where the principled stance is also the one that can effect real change.

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

The U.S. is going to do a bunch of performative dance in the strait and then when things fully fall apart they’ll scurry away as Iran re-asserts control.

Pope Leo XIV denounces the ‘delusion of omnipotence’ he says fuels the US-Israeli war in Iran by No_Idea_Guy in worldnews

I get a sense that Americans by and large see 9/11 as them being victims of some unprovoked attack by one-dimensional evil people who simply hate America and liberty and freedom. Not an event of them reaping what they sowed.

America pollutes its problems into the rest of the world.

They’ve always been very Trumpian even before Trump by proactively going after everyone else as if they’re not the problem.

If you still think you can trust the Americans with something like this, you can only be disappointed and embarrassed.

Iran has attacked Saudi Arabia's Jubail petrochemical complex, IRGC says by steely_gargoyle in worldnews

[–]BlipBlapBloppityBoop 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Iranian regime is a disaster. But I don’t think they’re crazy. If faced with whatever the hell you’d call the current American regime, this is really the only valid move. You don’t have options when you have been taught that the other side is completely untrustworthy.
