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.

I think they have one solar system “done” (not really) out of 100.

He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.

Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

Partly (the article does refer to it being the language of NATO), but it looks to be more about joining the EU.

It needs your bones more than you do

This is one of the reasons I don’t use apps. I’d just have to not match with any of those 90-95%, at which point you’re basically not using it at all.

Yeah, not to defend the apps or anything but filtering out the people who put in no effort and approve 96%+ makes sense.

I did this at my work and got a little dongle that displays a string of numbers I have to enter when prompted.

They want the ability to shoot down other countries’ satellites when they go to war with them. Things like disabling communication satellites and GPS (or Russia’s equivalent, GLONASS).

Kessler Syndrome? Never heard of it.

I don’t know, this painting of him looks pretty white (please ignore that it was made in the 1920s by an American who had probably never been to Greece)

Blowback, The Dollop, and occasionally Citations Needed but I’ve let that one accrue a huge backlog I may never get through.
