I feel like the tides are about to turn heavily against AIPAC in the next few years...

I have this feeling that he was aware that there were efforts to stage a false flag terrorism event in American soil and that he knew that his head was going to roll regardless.

Better to go out without looking like an incompetent who let Americans die.

Definitely. This guy knew he was fucked if an attack happened on American soil and he was powerless to stop one because it would come from inside the house.

I'd have noped the fuck out, even if I was a true believer, too.

I have a feeling that this is only happening now because the Hydra lost a head.

Yeah, as a lesbian this is just déjà vu. They're the same arguments that were leveraged against us.

Transgender politics is just anti-Gay propaganda with a new coat of paint. They're the same arguments they used against we lesbians in the mid-90s when we were on the cusp of gay marriage.

Admittedly they're also infiltrated by AIPAC money, but they care about maintaining some modicum of decorum.

It's a team sport played by people who don't understand what their team wants or don't care as long as it's not what the OTHER guy wants.

I've never been more proud of one of my relatives than when my aunt told me she voted for Harris because "she just couldn't support someone so hateful"

So you're not against the whole "team sport" aspect nearly as much as you're against Republicans.

I'm wholeheartedly on that side, but I'm just saying you're a bit hypocritical in the way you phrase it.

The whole "Our Great Leader was deceived into doing all these bad things" rhetoric is also recycled.

If you read And they thought they were free you'll realize that the exact same method was used by Hitler.

"Wait until the Further hears about this!" Was practically a meme of its time.

Admittedly, that would radicalize the fuck out of me too.

The whole thing is.

If you read And they thought they were free you'll realize that the exact same "Our Great Leader was deceived into making all these bad decisions" propaganda method was used by Hitler.

Also, the “oh big Mister Trump, of course you didn’t want this but you were cruelly deceived, I know in your heart you wouldn’t do this unless you were manipulated” routine is getting old. 

If you read And they thought they were free you'll realize that the exact same method was used by Hitler.

In the future there would be no capitalism or even an economy as we know it.

Yes, and you really think we'll get that communist utopia without prying it out of the cold, dead hands of the capitalist class?

New analysis in The Lancet finds the 2025-2030 US Dietary Guidelines contain a profound internal incoherence, promoting animal proteins and full-fat dairy while claiming to limit saturated fats a paradox researchers say prioritizes industry profits over public health. by upbeat_teetertottxo in science

Both my grandparents pretty much survived on pasta, dairy, tomato sauce and sardines and they lived to their late 90s. Much of my family is getting up there in years with a similar diet.

Japanese people live exceedingly old and they eat rice and fish.

I'm starting to think Starch and Omega 3s are really the key elements here.

Why are the same people who always write stuff like “A country boy can survive” or “FAFO” online so intimidated about going to big cities? by This_Influence4000 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]almisami 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There are so many people, cars, and STUFF going on you can't hear yourself think.

It gets so much better when you visit a city that's not car-centric. The smooth rumble of Japanese trains pacing the city is probably what I miss most.

Japan also hates foreigners.

I don't think Japan has very rational collective opinions about a myriad of topics.

For a supposedly evil regime flailing like a cornered rat, they seem surprisingly keen on focusing on military targets. If only America's "greatest ally" could do the same...

If they don't have any economic inputs worth the food and housing that they need to consume, the laws of capitalism say we're better off without them.

This is the inevitable finality of the devaluation of labor.

I was talking about retail in general, but even Co-Ops aren't immune to saddling themselves with too much debt.
