Why on earth would they not want death to the west? It’s not like we haven’t deserved it. Israel is way more extreme than either Hamas or Hezbollah. That’s what happens when you create an ethnostate, arm them to the teeth, and back them unconditionally for generations.

No country lasts generations in a static form. That’s not a thing.

I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic, but democracy and capitalism are fundamentally incompatible. “Equal capitalism” is an oxymoron.

I did. You found a pigeon hole and stuck me in it. Then you realized I didn’t fit, but you sooo badly wanted to say that shit that you slapped a disclaimer on the end that makes the whole thing pointless.
There is not a damn thing wrong with trying to look sexy on YouTube. I made that perfectly clear, several times in fact because I knew there would be people looking for this stupid fight.
- Comment on Anon is a youtuber 1 week ago:
Thinking she’s trying to look sexy for the videos is making assumptions that she shouldn’t be wearing that on camera
If your not gonna bother reading a comment, why reply?
- Comment on Anon is a youtuber 1 week ago:
Yeah, I figured someone would make this bad assumption. There are more thumbnails than just the one in this thread and wouldn’t you know, every shirt she owns shows her belly.
I said I wasn’t slut shaming and I meant it, but she is obviously trying to look sexy, and that’s absolutely fine. There are plenty of guys with great builds wearing tank tops in YouTube thumbnails as well. I don’t blame any of them, and I’d do the same.
Also,there is a difference between making “sexualized assumptions” about someone, and noticing that they are dressed in a sexy way. I’ve personally spent a lot of time on nudist beaches and I don’t even think complete nudity is “inherently sexual”, nevermind a midriff. That doesn’t change that she is obviously accentuating her sexual appeal for these videos. That’s not inherently a bad thing, but it’s there.

That style of shirt is pretty much designed to draw attention there. No slut shaming or anything at all, but she knows what she is doing.
- Comment on How Every Senator Voted on the Iran War Powers Resolution 5 weeks ago:
The usual Democratic Bullshit. Faced with the choice of trying to pressure vulnerable Republicans or help delay the vote, they helped delay the vote. This blood is as much on Democratic leadership’s hands as the Republicans.

They probably should have told them to leave before making it nearly impossible to do so.
- Comment on Supporting ‘illegal aggression’ against Iran ‘the worst thing’ Australia could do, international law experts say 5 weeks ago:
To my ear the word “elite” in this context always has a built in ironic connotation, but I certainly do agree that there is nothing elite about them.

You left out the global elites.

Secondary sanctions from a dino convention. Based.
- Comment on Annon punches a Nazi 1 month ago:
I have a theory that a lot of things are going to get more violent after the election. A Democratic Congress will greatly restrain the President, greatly reducing the disincentive to dispense street justice on ICE. On the off chance that Republicans manage to hold Congress by stealing the election, waiting on democracy will no longer be tenable, which means it’s game on.
- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 1 month ago:
Who is holding against an individual? I think it’s obvious that when someone blames Israelis they don’t literally mean every single Israeli. That’s why I used the word “pedantic”. Sure, in absolute terms what he said is correct but, at the same time, expecting that level of guarded language practically makes conversation impossible.

Ben Carson comes to mind. Right wing anti-vax freak who was formerly the director of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins.
- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 2 months ago:
The vast majority of Israelis support the genocide - far more than support their government. It’s a fair generalization of Israeli society. The “not all Israelis” point is both obvious and pedantic.

It’s because of greedy capitalist fucks who are squeezing you
A healthcare system that makes everyone dependent on employers really makes it easy for them.
Medicare For All is about a lot more than just healthcare.
- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 3 months ago:
But there are an estimated 100-400 billion stars in the Milky Way, some of which are hundreds of solar masses, not to mention the Accretion disks of black holes all kicking out radiation. That’s gotta add up to something, even with the inverse-square law fall off. The galactic core has unfathomable levels of radiation and puts out its own galactic wind, and some stars have observable bow shocks with it.

Every planet is a star which wasn’t big enough. Some are just more challenged than others.
- Comment on Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again? 4 months ago:
I completely agree that LLMs aren’t intelligent. On the other hand, I’m not sure most of what we call intelligence in human behavior is any more intelligent than what LLMs do.
We are certainly capable of a class of intelligence that LLMs can’t even approach, but most of us aren’t using it most of the time. Even much (not all) of our boundary pushing science is just iterating algorithms that made the last discoveries.

So, getting groped by a Republican is meth and getting groped by a Democrat is weed is this analogy? Please.

The issue is coordination
Not exactly the left’s strong point.
- Comment on TRUMP 5 months ago:
Absolutely true. However, it hardly looks any better for Democrats. Bill Clinton is barely any better than Trump, and yet he is still revered in party circles.
Also, Democratic party elites have yet to back Mamdani in NY which is defacto support for Cuomo who has the same kind of track record.
This isn’t a Republican problem, it’s a wealthy elites problem.
- Comment on Chicago fighting ICE 5 months ago:
Bad idea strategically, though I agree it’s what they deserve. The whole reason Trump sent them to Chicago is to get violence to justify further intervention to get more violence to justify more intervention to have armed MAGAts oversee the 2026 election.
- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 6 months ago:
Let’s not forget that prior to Jesus any punishments were over when you died. Permanent Hell was a new testament thing.
- Comment on Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash 6 months ago:
Mr. Homan’s encounter with the undercover agents, recorded on audiotape, led him to be investigated for potential bribery and other crimes, after he apparently took the money and agreed to help the agents — who were posing as businessmen — secure future government contracts related to border security,
I hope that House Democrats are going to subpoena that tape. It sure would be a shame if it leaked to the press though.
