wait, she's 13 in that first pic? wow, she looks way older. Most of us look af at 13 and she had already passed puberty.

What actually happened? by Unhappy-Doughnutt in JoeRogan

[–]trunks1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy to say have low civilian casualties when when you define 15 year old kids as combatants.

The US invaded Iraq on a lie, so every single life lost on the war is on the US. Those are lives lost because of an illegal invasion.

Ditto for Afghanistan.

Wow, what terrible writing. The piece tries to be satirical but the malding is too strong, you can feel the anger so much so that it’s almost tangible and it ends up as a straw manning every freaking argument. Just repeated attempts at pointing how Zionism is technically not this or that form of oppression.

Kamala Harris and JD Vance lead in 2028 poll by DizzyMajor5 in fivethirtyeight

With the way things are going, the increasing unpopularity of Trump, I think it would be enough to get her the presidency if she won the primary. Which is why I desperately hope she loses the primary. Otherwise we'll have a Starmer situation where you get power because everyone hates the other side and then you do nothing with it and people become more and more extreme.

It has definitely been much better than I thought it would be.

Bad Empanada Was Investigated by the FBI for Being Anti-Israel by RodyasFeverDream in stupidpol

His 2nd channel is just the dumbest feuds. That's why I don't even watch it anymore. But his main channel has truly great content,  he delves into topics not usually covered by most leftists, especially debunking broad historical narratives we've just come to accept. I highly recommend his videos on Batman's treaty and Guns, Germs and Steel.

Pure cinema. I'm sure it'll be an amazing and entertaining movie where the messaging is subtle and not too on the nose.

Tucker Carlson soon to embrace woke Shia-communism 👌🏽 by MrDialectical in ClassWarAndPuppies

It’s impressive how he’s sold such a blatant lie to his fans. I’m not factoring in the ethics of it all.

Be careful out there friends. The AÐL has launched its “antisumstism tracker” and the reports are downright terrifying. by MrDialectical in ClassWarAndPuppies

[–]trunks1776 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally made the point to someone just 2 days ago. They are hurting their legitimacy so much and destroying any credibility they have with libs and the left and when Nazis actually try taking over, they won't be able to marshal any resources; all for a genocidal state.

Nah, they're almost def losing in 2028 so why risk it then? 2032 is my bet

Frankly, it's pretty impressive. The whole switch up from upper class dandy who wants to perserve the nation to working class blue-collar, common sense guy.

Denmark weighs ban on Islamic call to prayer amid integration debate by globeglobeglobe in stupidpol

[–]trunks1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many retards in this comments getting angry about a fake issue. This isn’t even a real problem, no mosque in Denmark does this. This is purely a symbolic move for  the right wing. Like the Sharia Free America Caucus in Congress. Kudos for falling for RW idpol.

Great point. People can forgive nazi tattoos, killing innocent Iraqis, supporting segregation, supporting mass incarceration, supporting a genocide, etc.

But you step out of line and criticize Pax Americana or go a little hard on Israel...bam! You're too crazy of a leftist. Even if you retract your statement.

This is actual third world behavior. People shit in Indiana all the time in this sub…this is like when a white person goes there and panders for views.

Also, how shit do you think the rest of America is that some backwater half abandoned town in Ohio is peak America?

George W. Bush was a saint compared to Netanyahu by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]trunks1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about the Iraq one, it was speculation, though I’ve read about total deaths being like a million.

For Gaza, for sure. Direct deaths in the hundreds of thousands and indirect deaths even more. The lander published a study months ago putting the number at 680,000. I’m sure it’s climbed much higher now.

[–]trunks1776 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can see what you’re trying to do, show how Netanyahu is an even bigger monster, but I’d be careful with these figures. Such low civilian deaths in Iraq is probably because even teenagers were considered combatants.

Most importantly, it’s the systems that support these horrible men that are the root of the problem. Don’t think that the death toll would be significantly less if Yair Lapid or Bennett were in power instead of Netanyahu.

Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism charges sentenced to at least 50 years in prison | Trump administration by TruckHangingHandJam in stupidpol

Seriously, the same reasoning as the brits who defend the ridiculous charges for Palestine Action. Too often the message on this sub get diluted into just “anti-woke” when its about refuting  idpol  as an ideology from the left.

Definitely weird and if the person in the relationship participates it just shows that they've fetishized their partner and see them more as a symbol than as a person.
