Do we think Vance is stupid enough to not understand that NATO primarily benefits the US? If “Europe” is cut off from the US, they’re going to make deals with China and (to a lesser extent) Russia. Trump obviously doesn’t understand shit, but Vance is the puppet of Peter Thiel, who you’d think would know better.

Where will “I’ll attack them coz they attacked me coz I attacked them coz they attacked me…” finally lead to?

The end of Israel as an apartheid genocidal settler-colonial state. You can look to South Africa for an example.

The point is that Nagasaki and Hiroshima weren’t exceptional, but rather typical of US bombing strategies against civilian populations that the US has continued to use into the modern day.

IIRC the damage inflicted by the atomic bombings weren’t especially noteworthy compared to the rest of the bombing campaign, and it was more a way to test out their new toys. If the nukes hadn’t been used but conventional bombing had continued, it would likely have had a similar result. This video by Shaun lays out a pretty compelling case that the Japanese surrender was due to the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria.

This is all ignoring of course that despite the insistence of unconditional surrender, the Americans accepted surrender with conditions and allowed the emperor to continue to hold his titles anyway. There’s definitely something to be said about taking maximalist positions just to make a point even when they don’t actually care about several of the goals that make up those positions.

This is apparently not the original version, but in the context in which it’s used on hexbear, this is the full image:

President Xi, the people of Occupied Cascadia yearn for freedom, please send Chengdu J-20 stealth fighters.

I guess “The US will very likely end the world in nuclear hellfire” doesn’t roll of the tongue as well.

You forgot Women’s Beach Volleyball.

There is no threat from an electoral left third party in the US, and the Democrats would rather lose to the Republicans than stop the genocide, so no, there is nothing to be learned.

That would require the dems to oppose those things when in reality conservatism and being pro-Israel are core democratic party values. They’re far more likely to push out anyone who opposes this genocide.

Perhaps he could pay $1m to one hitman instead.

Some of us never stopped

It was a thing last… summer? Where reddit announced they were going to start charging for every call a third party program made using the API. This was done with the intent of shutting down 3rd party reddit apps and to get users on the official one so reddit could make more money. However, it also destroyed a bunch of 3rd party tools that mods more or less needed, and which reddit had been promising to implement themselves for years with no progress. There was a brief protest where mods of many subs shut them down (mostly for less than a week, though some are still down IIRC). A bunch of users and moderators left reddit and went to other sites.

I use UBO and have definitely noticed videos stuttering in the last week or two.

I desire the end of America and indeed all capitalist states, ideally before they slide even further into fascism in the near future. Death to the Israeli state, and death to any states that support it.

Not until Biden starts saying it (not that I’d rule this out lol, the man’s a segregationist).

70% of US adults believe in angels, but that doesn’t make it true. No countries with any actual amount of power on the global stage recognize the ROC (see the US’ One China Policy), which means that regardless of whatever views people claim to have when surveyed, Taiwan is de facto part of the PRC.

I mean yeah. All they need to do is say “woke” a bunch of times and they’ll be within spitting distance of the presidency.
