The police responding to an active school shooter by bombing the school and then the hospital and orphanage next to it too for good measure

Reject national identities, return to soft border cultural cliques

BDS is an existential threat because it threatens to popularize the truth that Israel is an apartheid state. Proponents of the occupation will cite the end of apartheid South Africa as a worst case scenario. Hamas is less so for the inverse reason that the violent opposition (as long as it’s manageable violence) provides reason for the occupation to continue

You can’t explain starfield’s narrative weakness without citing operation paperclip. Not correctly, anyway

The good things never are but oddly the bad things always are

God the democrats suck so fucking much

Honestly this plus “Skyrim-in-space” make me feel pretty confident that this game is going to have staying power just because we know how good the modding community is for bethesda games. Skyrim was panned up front as genre generic fantasy with a pinch of viking magic but has been played continuously for a decade plus because it made for such a good blank slate to add onto. Also I guarantee every current UI issue already has modders working on it. Starfield script extender just dropped and the game hasn’t even officially been released

Suck off me

To corroborate your point you can just look at life expectancy in rural communities to see that it rose steadily throughout the Maoist period and then froze during the Dengist reforms

Fair point

Deng literally introduced market reforms to do so. This is not the own you think it is

Moms for Liberty has heavily promoted trainings for conservative activists on how to take over school boards, which ought to make clear how we should understand stories like this one, which just sound like a racist tantrum in a Texas suburb. These aren’t random or isolated events — they’re part of a large, well-organized and well-financed attack on public education across the country.

I feel like it’s important to keep the eye on the ball here. The right has been incredibly successful at organizing at the local level and has flipped a lot of seats because of it, and not just in the rural south either.

The US funding and arming far right militias as a means of attacking a geopolitical rival has historically always been a good idea and resulted in very few consequences

This is exactly how this conversation would go except he’d be telling the apocalypse children about the wonders of the before times like supercars and hookers, the things he got for all that shareholder value. Kids these days don’t even know what they’re missing out galavanting around with their super mutant buddies

Supporting my anti-imperialist comrades in ISIS as they undermine American hegemony

I mean that’s siding with anti-imperialism for realpolitik reasons but it’s still for the sake of cracking up US hegemony to allow Russian ascendancy. The invasion of Ukraine has made it more than apparent that Putin sees Russia as having a sphere of influence where it can dictate terms for the nations around it and will enforce that understanding violently. That’s textbook imperialism akin to the early US dictating terms in Latin America.

And yea that’s all because Russia was rejected from the kool kids (k)table at nato but the response has not been to adopt a left wing anti-imperialist stance

It’s not an anti imperialist stance if you’re just trying to contest imperial hegemony on behalf of your own imperial ambitions. That’s still just imperialism
