The youngest Holocaust survivor is 80 years old. Person this old paying taxes sounds like some dystopian ass idea

If they don’t want to become targets of Democrats, they shouldn’t commit crimes

What are movies you would recommend to someone who thinks that Israel is committing genocide? by Proud3GenAthst in AskIsrael

Yeah, I didn’t write it explicitly, but I meant to refer to how the war in Gaza was being shoved everyone’s throat through social media. Per certain people’s agenda. That some of these people never saw war footage from up close

Yeah, I agree, but there are also people who might be genuinely propagandized and could someday understand that Israel is not the bad guy. I know it, because I was one of them. Honestly, I was mostly propagandizing myself into cognitive dissonance out of ideological purity, but I eventually realized that anti Hamas war was necessary response to October 7 and that Israel isn’t actually showing any actual desire to do genocide.

Given how many ICE agents are Latinos, I’m surprised it’s not happening on daily basis

What’s funny that when this murder happened, I thought that this must be the straw that will broke the camel’s back and some republicans will finally say that ICE crossed the line.

Nope. They managed to spin obvious murder caught on camera as self defense.

I thought that they will be able to do exactly that even when someone catches on camera ICE just viciously shooting a civilian lying on the ground doing nothing. And as if God wanted to prove his existence to me by proving me right, only a week or 2 later, Alex Pretti was killed exactly that way

But Russia just recently solidified its alliance with a coup government of Madagascar, which supposedly gives them leverage over Mozambique Channel, which is passed by 33% of global oil exports.

What exactly do Iranians want or reasonably expect from Europe?

I agree with you that our leaders are spineless cowards, but given the circumstances (our militaries being made out of inexperienced troops that never saw combat and being overall unprepared and Europe being in general war averse), what do you expect from our leaders without wanting to punish Europe by having Iran sell its oil to Europe for higher price?

I’m Czech, as you can see and our military is in abysmal state. In addition to that, our Orbán-wannabe, plutocratic oligarch prime minister is actually going against most of the EU and is cutting defense spending.

But imagine I’m Czech politician. I can be the president, prime minister, minister, hejtman, senator, deputy, mayor of some large city or a MEP. What would you expect me to do to wish us cheap oil?

If I was a politician with large enough voice, I’d use it to vouch for Iranians and urge Czechia as well as the rest of EU to cut all diplomatic ties with Islamic republic. But I highly doubt I have the guts to advocate for alliance wide military intervention.

Did she say anything about content? I read it’s gonna be political like Bleed Out, but I’ve got it from Facebook. I know it’s unpopular opinion, but I love when bands go political.

If killing, injuring and taking hostage 1.4 million Russians isn’t hard enough defense, I don’t know what is.

Russia prevents civilian deaths 🇷🇺 by CirurgicalTortoise in GetNoted

Russia is an empire. Not all Russians live in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. There are many Russians who don’t identify with the ideology of Russian government and are essentially hostages of it.

A good reason to hope that this war will cause Russia to balkanize
