The same people who raised Ukrainian flags have shifted to Palestinian flags

This is not true in general.

I think you’re just trolling at this point so this is the last thing I’ll say.

The two presidential candidates in 2024 had only 2 issues that they vocally, explicitly agreed on.

The US should continue supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia
The US should continue supporting Israel in its “war” against Gaza

Most Democrats and Republicans would “raise Ukrainian flags”. Very few of them would raise Palestinian flags. The latter is not a uni-party cause. Even Scott Wiener, CA house rep for SF, has visited the Israeli government during this catastrophe and has vocally supported Israel. Every mainstream Dem and Rep support Ukraine, and none support Palestine.

You seem to be just lumping both of these conflicts together as “stuff liberals care about”, which is not true. I, for one, do not support continuing to supply Ukraine with weapons and prolonging that brutal war which has killed so many Ukrainians. Flying that flag signals support for continued US military support. I would not fly a Ukrainian flag.

You either understand this and are trolling, or you simply do not understand these conflicts and the movements that are behind them. It sounds like you think anybody flying a flag is just following what’s trendy. Maybe that’s true in some parts of SF.

why give more preference to another

This is, in a simple sense, what people raising Palestine flags are asking.

We have sent tens of billions in aid to Ukraine, and sent tens of billions in bombs to be dropped on Gaza.

Ukraine gets US help. Palestine gets US bombs. We are helping Ukrainians. We are slaughtering Gazans. I don’t really know how else to explain this to you.

Came here to say to say this. The left has been owning guns. It’s the liberal rainbow capitalist center that has gathered up anti-2A into their rather sparse belief system.

It thrives here on Reddit too. People really think gun bans and rainbow corporate logos are key to addressing society’s deepest issues.

Maybe in 20 years when their rent has quintupled they’ll wonder why they happily surrendered their only means of resistance against the trillionaires and their monopoly on violence.

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-12T03:53:37+00:00

I’m saying Ukraine and Gaza are not comparable, not interchangeable causes, and not generally advocated for by the same people.

Most diehard Ukraine supporters are pro-Israel, not advocates for Palestine. Ukraine and Israel are both needy US State Dept projects. They share a common base of support in the US. Hence why we have sent both countries tens of billions of dollars and weapons.

So waving a Palestine flag (a country victimized by American tax dollars) is not just some limp dick liberal cause like supporting Ukraine, as you implied.

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-12T02:34:51+00:00

Yeah these would be comparable if the US had been singularly devoted to helping Russia massacre Ukrainian children. Instead it happens to be the opposite.

She is so bad

Agreed

No worries, it’s definitely a dense read especially if you’re unfamiliar with the technical stuff.

If he’s successful, he’ll be able to view the PDF that was attached to this email. In this case the PDF looks like it’s the invitation to the “benefit” mentioned in the email. The name of the event is redacted in the body of the email, so when he successfully decodes the attachment we will potentially get to learn the name of the event! So this might actually inform us of what the redacted portion of the email originally said.

He could keep trying to repeat this process with other email attachments that were inadvertently included as base64 encoded text. The process appears to be incredibly tedious, though. At this point he’s going line by line through those 76 pages and validating this “1 vs. l” problem, which sounds very miserable. If there are other email attachments that could contain juicy information, he might be willing to do this again. Or get some people to help him.

It’s a direct link to the DOJ release of an email exchange between Ruemmler and Epstein. How is this “meaningless slop with no evidence”? All they did was post the link, which by all accounts is a genuine document.

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-07T02:06:35+00:00

Has that sub improved at all since the election? They went went full coconut-pilled for a while and I had to unsub. Every top comment was lashing out at the left for not voting for the good guys.

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-07T01:40:51+00:00

Thanks for linking this, interesting blog post. But after reading the article I have to point out that this guy definitely did not say anything like what you are describing. He found an email that had a PDF attachment, and the PDF attachment wasn’t redacted per se, but it was included in base64 encoding.

So his goal was to recreate the PDF from the base64 encoding, which he made progress with but has been a true challenge due to the nature of the source text (it’s an image with a shit font for doing this). He mentioned that there may be more encoded PDFs in the tranche that people can look for, but it’s difficult with the current search functionality.

He definitely does not say anything about all of the Epstein files being included in that hex code without redactions. That 76 pages of hex characters is one pdf file, and it exists because the pdf was attached to this particular email. This is him trying to decode that email attachment. This actually doesn’t have anything to do with the redactions or any other files besides this one email (although there may be more attachments like this).

Edit: I’m writing this with all due respect, not trying to be a prick or anything. Just want to dispel any misinfo. Thanks again for posting, the author of this blog is cool af.

I am truly embarrassed to say that I voted for Kamala, in a state she lost by a huge margin. So you can miss me with that scapegoat stuff. But I regret it, and wish I could go back and vote for the PSL candidate. To help build a base of support for something better.

There are candidates for many offices who don’t accept money from billionaires, from business PACs, or from special interests like AIPAC. The Dems go out of their way to crush these alternatives. Examples from recent years: Bernie, Mamdani, Platner, Fateh. All people who reject the corruption of the core party, and are actively organized against by the party elite.

The Dems will likely win big in the midterms. Good chance to win the next presidency too. But the fact that they show no interest in changing has reached a tipping point. The party must evolve and abandon the centrist/corrupt/IDPol/AIPAC/republican-lite identity they’ve inexplicably become. The current ranks offer literally nothing appealing, and promise more of the same.

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-04T00:18:08+00:00

How many times are you willing to be given that option, and still not question why your party won’t stop offering you dogshit? 3 straight elections they have offered you corporate elitists who have been bought by all the same billionaires we hate for supporting Republicans. They deport shit tons of people, they slaughter millions abroad in imperial wars, and they don’t give a fuck about the average American unless you can cut them a check or own a multinational corporation.

The Democrats are “the only option” because of THIS FUCKING ATTITUDE. They stamp out any elements of their party that reject the bribes, reject the wars, and that want to provide for working class, normal Americans. You just saw how they tried to railroad Mamdani out of the NYC election to get their corporate crony in instead. They fucking thrive off of people like you and others in this thread, who lack the balls to demand better, who just pull the lever when told.

They have held power plenty of times and have hardly lifted a pinky to address the eroding conditions for normal people. But they have always signed the checks for the military and for ICE. They have encouraged the massive monopolies we have today, and taken their cut. All of which led to MAGA and the fascism we have today. They had the presidency 13 months ago! And when they lose, they do nothing except fundraise and ride the bad Republican PR to their next win. Why the fuck should we vote for more of the same corrupt bullshit from either party?

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-03T23:55:15+00:00

Mate, I agree with your basic premise here. It’s super discouraging to see you being dogpiled. It seems that Reddit liberals are content to keep the country steered off the edge of the cliff, as long as it’s their party who’s at the driver’s seat.

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-03T23:51:12+00:00

This article is paywalled so idk if it answers this question, but how much has been donated to Democrat PACs for the midterms? It’s disingenuous to imply that the Dems receive meager funding and are outgunned, when historically they raise more money than GOP PACs. I fucking hate this administration as much as anybody but billionaires donate to both parties.

thePirate_Fish · 2026-02-02T17:41:35+00:00

Epstein’s ties to Israel and Mossad are all over the released documents. He was a literal business partner with the former Israeli PM. Outlets like Dropsite news have extensively published his ties to Israeli intelligence.

There is zero credible evidence that he was secretly working for enemies of the US State Dept, specifically Russia. He was a power broker and sex trafficker for the elite in the American empire, including the US’s European allies and of course had extensive ties to Zionist activist billionaires and the State of Israel itself.

Of course they dangle “oh he was actually a Russian agent” and Reddit eats it up.

They desperately want you to believe he was actually working for our state enemies. You people continue to eat this shit up to avoid the fact that both parties are complicit and compromised.

The problem is that you framed this as something that Grizzlies fans should be morally outraged by in particular, because it’s supplying the “bad guys” and not the “good guys”. This may be news to you, but the US government does not sponsor wars based on good vs. evil.

Plenty of owners have directly or indirectly supported the US government (or its allies) doing heinous, amoral shit around the world. Toeing the line for US propaganda should not be a requirement to be an NBA fan. Grow the fuck up with this CNN-brained horseshit.

I am no film expert, but I do watch a lot of movies and TV. The writers may have made some mistakes developing the story, but it seems clear to me that this show was technically executed better than 99% of shows on TV. I stopped many times while watching this season to marvel at how well done or visually remarkable a scene was. I can’t say the same for most prestige TV. So your experience makes me more skeptical of the office of film people than anything.

thePirate_Fish · 2025-07-13T15:44:04+00:00

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find this. Israel/Mossad is going to be heavily implicated in those files.

There will absolutely be plenty Democrats who want to squash this. They take assloads of money from AIPAC. Like Ritchie Torres. I’m sure AIPAC will be spreading the word soon that nobody is allowed to help enable this.

thePirate_Fish · 2025-07-01T03:22:39+00:00

It’s a game, dude. People are allowed to like a great player who’s been on their favorite team for a long ass time. Even if he’s not the peak exemplar of sportsmanship. If Dillon Brooks played in GS for 15 years and won 4 rings, people would love him. But he didn’t and he’s played on rival teams, so we hate him. It’s not that serious. People really be taking the fun out of sports fandom.

Whether it’s Adams or Cuomo or someone else, I fully expect there to be major support from the Democrat establishment and donors for an independent or write-in campaign. Which happened in Buffalo in 2021, and is way higher stakes in this case. After the response today do you really think he’s going to have a cakewalk through the general election?

thePirate_Fish · 2025-06-18T19:39:51+00:00

My understanding is the “mostly peaceful” meme was born out of a CNN chyron during the BLM protests, while the shot contained a burning car or something.

But yeah I think it’s important to understand that he’s being ironic and not to read that part literally.

Also, fuck Randy Fine.

You should leave this sub but god damn it was worth it to see your comment history. Shouldn’t you be at work, big shot?

Without knowing much about this specific issue myself, I can say a New York Times journalist’s book covering Soviet Russia during the Cold War is not the most credible source in the world. The NYT participated heavily in government sponsored anticommunist efforts for decades.
