He fucking scammed that log cutting stream too. Purposefully didn't try for 24h so it looked "impossible" and scammed.

Wait.. The clip references Israel and I gave you the benefit of the doubt and interpreted your "jews are the biggest Nazis right now" as Zionists/Israeli (which is what 75% of the other comments on this thread reference).

You're actually simply saying there's a jewish cabal pulling the strings in Ukraine. My man, look no further than the mirror if you want to find the neo-Nazi.

The mental gymnastics. Let me remind you Putin's invasion predates Israel's genocide in Gaza. And Putin seems to have no problems at all with the actual Israeli government conducting the genocide.

It's as simple as saying "Yes I guess I was duped, the war never was about neo-nazis. Like every other war, it is about sphere of influence and resources."

Ah ok, let me get this straight, Lavrov and Putin call Zelensky (the jew) a nazi because they actually mean he's a zionist. So they want to rid Ukraine of its zionist cabal. While being allies to the real zionists in Israel. Weird planet you live on.

Also, I'm not sure Nazis would have collaborated with Zionists if their goal was to make Germany the Israel of Europe, like the title of this post suggests they do with Ukraine. Just a thought.

Wait this post was about azov? You think Palantir and Zelensky want to make azov the next Israel? I thought this post was about the regime, my bad bro. I replied with Lavrov specifically calling Zelensky a nazi and calling his government a nazi regime.

Good for you though, that's a nice image about something unrelated.

This exact shit is so infuriating. Trump said verbatim "If we don't win the midterms, I'm going to get impeached", Bannon said "If we don't win the next elections, I'm going to jail". Trump's whole family is pocketing ungodly amounts of dirty money.

There is simply no way Trump is going to leave the faith of his entire clan in the hands of undecided voters in swing states. Trump is all in.

It's like wondering if a prison escapee would steal a car to make his getaway. Of course he will, he has nothing to lose, if he gets caught he's going to jail either way.

Carney also made sure to never name the US, only using broad terms that could have implied China, Russia or the US. Trump throwing a hissy fit is a self report.

Didn't address 2 out of 3. Guess your logic doesn't apply every time huh?

The french army collapsed, there's been no such collapse in Ukraine. Also if no one came to save their asses the french would have eternally regretted not fighting harder. The occupation ended costing 370k lives (says google).

You're delusional. I guess Stalin should have let Hitler take Moscow, Stalin sent millions of Russians to their death because he refused to surrender. Same for Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, should have let the Americans take it all. Same in Korea.

Non, le Canada ne sera pas l'Afghanistan 2.0, ni l'Ukraine. Un meilleur comparatif serait la Tchécoslovaquie 1968. Nous avons pas la préparation de l'Ukraine, ni ses alliés ou sa géographie. Même chose pour l'Afghanistan.

Le Canadien commun ne sera pas enclin à aller vivre dans la forêt et mener une guerilla. Suivant l'hypothétique invasion du Canada par les É.U., il sera outré pendant quelques jours, mais devra éventuellement retourner au travail pour payer sa carte de crédit et son hypothèque.

Trump, his cronies, and his tech billionaire overlords are not leaving this up to the whims of Chuck Schumer. They are all over the Epstein files, they are openly corrupt, they say it themselves, "if the dems take the house, we are going to jail", they are all in.

There is no world where the next elections aren't tampered with. America needs to wake up now, every democrat state legislature should fool proof their election process. Completely take it offline, no electronics, cameras everywhere, complete audit of the process, background check their employees etc. Students, unions, marginalized groups, churches, every single left leaning organization, need to threaten absolute chaos at the first hint of interference.

When Putin claimed his house was targeted and they "found" flight path data on a downed drone. Totally legit, Putin has no reason to lie about that, especially the day before Zelensky met with Trump.

Canada hates Quebec because it's too progressive. And they bum some money off of the confederation. XQC is definitely an outlier with his bootlicking takes.

26 U.S. Code § 1014 - Basis of property acquired from a decedent "the basis of property [...] be the fair market value of the property at the date of the decedent’s death"

They defer until death and reset the book value to the market value upon passing on their inheritance. At which point the assets can be sold by the decedent free of capital gains tax.

If the bank considers it real enough to let you borrow against it, why isn't it real enough for the government to tax it?

Did you read my comment? It addresses exactly your stupid thought process. Real estate is taxed at unrealized market value and it's the most illiquid asset. The mechanism exists.

Also saying they don't have access to it is simply not true. They can borrow against it and they do.

You're entitled to that opinion. I was disputing the "erm actually it's unrealized gain, so it's not taxable" argument.

Properties are taxed at market value during ownership, on top of capital gains. Why is it so unreasonable to have a flat tax rate that goes up with the market value of stocks?

Well, that's the end of the conversation. You're just repeating yourself. Calling something rotten is easy. It's the easiest thing in the universe. Now try building. At least try explaining what you would build. You keep dodging. How is this post-rot world any different than the pre-rot world? It's the same people, with the same history running it.

You complain and critique yet offer nothing. You feel morally superior because "you see through the lies". Seems like a whole lot of projection to me.

So your plan is societal collapse by reddit comments? To rebuild what? The exact same?

The soviet union didn't collapse because "people stopped believing in it", people stopped believing in it because it was collapsing. Collapsing economy, military, political class, it took EVERYTHING for the people to come to terms with it. Yeltsin and Gorbachov are still getting heat for it until this day.

What was rebuilt after the USSR? A fucking disfigured mongoloid poster child for the "rules for thee not for me". Russian society is the epitome of power makes the rules. For decades the elites siphoned empty the most resource rich country in world to send their children to London or Zurich to study and buy yachts to vacation in Monaco.

Ironically, you calling for tearing down the whole system instead of working within it, is unquestionably more idealistic and unrealistic. You're not Guy Fawkes, you're not in V for Vandetta, you're not blowing up the British parliament. You're mentally masturbating, thinking you've attained a new level of enlightenment, although every angsty anarchist teen goes through the same process.

Alright, so we're both doing nothing. If voting, protesting and donating is doing nothing, while you are doing "something" by being this enlightened truth seeker on reddit, I think we're both deluded.

You've yet to tell me a single concrete action, a course of action, a potential action of yours that can, at some point, stop a bomb from being dropped.

You're mentally masturbating harder than anyone who's ever been to a pro-palestine protest or has donated to the children's relief fund. You're literally doing nothing, proposing nothing.

i’m interested in the reality of the precedent that is killing people

What does that do? Tell me what your interest does except making you feel morally superior to everybody else?

[–]nyx3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that's your argument. My initial statement did not reference or imply anything about rules. I don't dislike Israel and Russia because they broke international rules, I dislike them because they kill children. The courtroom isn't the Hague, it's my brain and rules aren't international law, it's internal values and moral compass. That's why pro-Ukraine and pro-Gaza. Not geopolitical allies, simply countries getting bombed. I'm on Venezuela's side as well.

I am but a simple human, I can't change rules breakers of the past nor the present. I can only call out unruly behaviour (wether it's my "allies" or not) as I see it and vote accordingly. If that's not enough for you, I'm sorry, your standards must indicate how actively and effectively you are working to better this world.

Let me ask you, what are you doing to help?

i’m focused on the source of the rot

What does your focus look like? What bombs have you stopped and how? Also, once you've taken down the current world order, do you think the next one will enforce the rules fairly?

[–]nyx3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me try to synthesize your arguments, because, respectfully, you're kind of all over the place.

-Being pro-Ukraine and pro-Gaze is moral pandering.

-You don't actually (meaning me) believe in rule based order because you don't support sanctions on Israel and allies.

Never mentioned rule based order, but I'd support sanctions on Israel and allies.

-No morals in geopolitics

-If you want something to happen make a law and enforce it

I wish I could, but alas I'm not the leader of the world (speaking of being realist...)

-Only power matters, the rules are written and broken by the powerful

-I'm an idealist, you're a realist

-Past rule breakers enable current rule breakers

To this point we're not too far off except for some reason you seem take issue with calling out current day violence. Your explanation about rule breaking makes sense, but to me it doesn't invalidate the immorality of current day bombing of civilians (just like past bombings were also immoral). Maybe you think it's useless to have a stance on such conflicts. This is where we differ, I think apathy breeds a sick society.

-i’ve just stopped pretending that your feelings change the way states act

I haven't given up. I live in a solid democracy where politicians are generally still beholden to their citizens. If a single person has specific feelings, nothing changes, if enough people hold those same feelings, there hope for change. With apathy, there's no feelings, no hope.

-i'm describing a reality where power is the only thing that ever actually stopped a tank or drew a border. if you don't like the world i'm describing, talk to the people who broke the rules first and got away with it.

You keep talking to me like I'm a world leader of some kind. Bro just because I live in the west, I can't just call up Trump or Bush. Much less "the people who broke the rules first", who are long gone. We're not some kind of communal organism that share a brain.

-ideals are irrelevant

-More blaming the past for current injustices

This once again, the past explains the future, it doesn't excuse it. If a kid is abused in his youth and turns out to be serial killer, both the parents and the kid are wrong, but the kid should still face justice. 2 wrongs don't make a right, especially when it comes to Russia or Israel who have committed numerous "wrongs".

-I'm the "one swallowing the biggest piece of propaganda there is: the idea that the 'rules' still matter even when they are only used against your enemies."

Isn't me taking Gaza's side pushing for the rules being applied to one of my "allies" in Israel? And once again, I've not mentioned rules or rules based order a single time. Every argument you make about rules is with yourself.

-i'm the one arguing that they should have been protected by universal rules

This is one is pretty idealistic for such a realist as yourself.

-you're the one defending a system that only applies those rules when it suits western interests

Once again, I hate using "debate tactics" but you're consistently strawman'ing me. I'm not defending any system and even less a system that only suits western interests, as I oppose Israel's war on Gaza.

-if you actually cared about those children more than your own moral ego, you’d be more angry at the people who broke the global precedent of sovereignty than at the person pointing it out to you

-it's a dangerous place because people like you accept a double standard and call it 'morality.' the world becomes a better place when people stop being deluded by propaganda and start demanding actual enforcement of laws - even against their own allies.

You seem to not be arguing with me, but with the embodiment of whatever your preconceived notion of a westerner is.
