They probably just scrum pokered really well

Reality proves big tent liberalism wrong at every turn, but still people advocate for it. Can’t beat stupid, I guess.

But still, even when you go to more politically aware places (like lemmy), you’ll get mocked for suggesting America is rules by a uniparty when it comes to American inperialism. It’s unbelievably fucking stupid.

Reaching obvious conclusions based on observations in reality is tankie shit, please refrain from doing so.

The user experience of GrapheneOS is basically the same as vanilla Android, except that you have more control (you can uninstall google apps, for example), but at the cost of a small minority of apps (banking ones, for example) not working (out of the box, sometimes at all). My banking app works, and a quick google search will tell you if yours does too. If your old pixel is not too old (4 is no longer supported, 8 definitely is, not sure abt in between), you should give it a go. I think you’ll see it’s not as big of a step as you maybe currently imagine.

• progressives good
• religion bad
• billionaires bad
• bombing the middle east good

You’re enigmatic.

Fits right in with Obama, lord of drones.

For anyone saying that the democrats are bad for the homeless, please look at this.

Both? 17.8 billion dollars to murder children with seems pretty pointlessly cruel to me. All jokes aside, are you not seeing these in the blue states? They don’t have these in New York? Or are you saying conservatives are sneaking in and building these when the democrats aren’t watching?

What makes you think that? Do these not exist in blue states?

What makes you think the IC is in Putin’s pocket? Is it because they’ve assessed that Iran hasn’t been building nuclear weapons for the past 22 years? Does that mean the IAEA is also in Putin’s pocket?

Ukraine gave up their nukes, look what happened to them. Libya gave their nuclear weapons program up, and look at them today. North Korea didn’t, and they’re still standing, for better or for worse. Iraq was accused of having nukes, but didn’t have them, and got destroyed. Seems that if you want any semblance of sovereignty outside of NATO, you better have some nukes.

So for any nations reading along I’ll summarize the basic conclusions:

1. Get nukes
2. If you have nukes, do not give them up
3. If you’re accused of having nukes, drop everything and get nukes asap

Do you think Israel would be bombing Iran if they had nukes?

Great man theory nonsense. Was Netanyahu in power during the Sabra and Shatila massacre? During the Nakba? During the June 1967 war? Was Trump president when the US invaded Iraq? Was he president when the US sent billions of dollars in military aid to Israel to commit their genocide with? It’s the countries, not the leaders. They’re just the personification of a system. You could shoot each of these men in the head today, and nothing would change.

Not every jew is a zionist. Don’t conflate the two. Israel does not have a right to exist, and jews do.

Man Iran is such a destabilizing force in the region.

Exactly! So it doesn’t make sense to have this whole detailed prediction which resembles nothing that’s ever happened before. That’s all I’m saying.

So I don’t really see how you go from seeing Israel kill 10 passengers to your 6 point prediction. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but considering we’re dealing with the modern day equivalent of nazis who seem to enjoy support from most western governments, I find more grim scenarios equally likely.

I’m not sure what you’re basing your predictions on. Have you studied what they’ve done to similar vessels in the past? I know of only two, the raid in 2010, where they killed 9 people, and the the one earlier this year, where they shot at the ship with two drones. That’s fairly limited, but quite a far cry from your predictions.

I love how, for everyone, media literacy seemingly goes straight out the window the moment North Korea is mentioned. I remember a few years back every mainstream media outlet reporting that sarcasm was banned in NK, and that everyone had to get the same haircut as Kim Jong Un. Journalism at its finest.
