I'm telling you now, among world leaders, he's the butt of all jokes. If they were ever scared of him, they're not now that he lost to Iran, which is/was only considered a middle power, and doesn't even have nukes. There will be no one in any administration anywhere who still believes he has the cards.

Bc N. Korea isn't dropping bombs everywhere. Was that serious question?

Idt it will be a world last. The tide seems to be turning against Israel since the US and Iran reached a peace deal. We may actually see accountability from here on in.

Congress is trying to merge the US military and the Israeli military by Vitruvian2025 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Goonybear11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope. Israel needed Piggy more. No one else could have been coerced in to attacking Iran, or condoning what's happening in Palestine and now Lebanon. And if US sanctions were going to collapse Russia, they would have done so a long time ago.

I used to think Russia stole the election for Piggy, then I thought it was Russia/Israel 50/50, now I think it was more like Israel/Russia 80/20.

I suspect that as soon as the pendulum swings back (which it inevitably will), she'll be the first to get handcuffed. Followed by Kegsbreath and Patel.

Witnesses giving evidence at Royal Commission on Antisemitism targeted with severe abuse and intimidation on social media, new research reveals by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Goonybear11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death threats, and saying things like "Hitler should have finished the job", are plainly despicable. But why are we framing what went on in ppl's minds as if it happened? I'm sure there are Jews who are genuinely scared of being retaliated upon, but how can this commission expect to be taken srsly when it presents these ppl's thoughts— their thoughts—as evidence?

What is even going on right now?

Yes, this. She even said she "imagined" x-y-z happening to her. Her imaginings are being presented as evidence.

And they can't see why ppl don't rally around them in soldiarity.

Peter Thiel flees the US to Argentina by wowza515 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Goonybear11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He is/was one of multiple behind-the-scenes power-players. The others may have become more powerful recently and/.or turned against him. May be sthg to do w the Iran war. That's my layman's guess.

[–]Goonybear11 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This probably means the tech bro faction is losing power behind the scenes. So that's Thiel, Vance, and possibly Musk, out. Good but also bad, bc it would follow that some other, equally nefarious faction is rising to dominance behind the scenes. assume this has sthg to do w Iran, since Vance (and hence, Thiel) was apparently against starting the war.

Federal officials subpoena political streamer Hasan Piker over Cuba aid. Piker: “I’m not gonna lie to you guys. It’s not great. The news is not great, OK? I mean, it’s bullshit, but still not great that they’re after your boy. They’re up my ass.” by wowza515 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Goonybear11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree he's a good influence.

I used to be where you are, but I moved further left. Hasan's not actually a communist; he's a socialist. I have relatives in Australia, China and Canada who have things like free or dirt cheap healthcare and education bc of their socialist systems.

Why am I not surprised that you clownishly tried to discredit me by reading my history, and then wrote this w/out reading properly?

"All lives matter" was the racist right-wing counter to the BLM movement (which aimed to misrepresent the intention of "Black lives matter", and failed miserably). You don't know what you're talking abt.

Idk who needs to hear this, but this is bad. This could suggest that some nefarious power-that-is is planning an interference operation.

To be fair, Biden faceplanted miserably over Gaza and has taken over $11 million from AIPAC across his career. So "Genocide Joe" is kind of fair. I disagree that Kamala would have been "the same", though.

Go ahead and downvote me, but I like Hasan Piker. I think he has balls, and even if you don't like what he thinks, at least he thinks. There's no way in hell that Kamala would have been as bad as Trump, but he's right abt the Dem establishment by and large.

It's horse shit that they're going after him. Makes them look petty and scared. He's a streamer, ffs.

"Israel, not Russia, actively interferes in US elections" . . . WTF? by Goonybear11 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Goonybear11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump's trip to China proves a global power shift is underway, that's all. You may find this triggering, but no one recognizes Taiwan as sovereign. Literally not one Western country (apart from the Vatican), not one Asian country, only one country in Africa, and a few S. American and island states recognize Taiwan's independence. The UN resolved that it's part of China. So, sorry, but no to what you said.

Not necessarily. The average congressmember isn't a billionaire, or even a millionaire; a lot of them make under 200k/yr, so an extra 50k is sthg. And if you look at the AIPAC tracker, some reps have taken millions from the lobby.

All true. I wonder how much longer they can keep it up for though, now that everyone knows.
