Imagine your kid dies in an Israeli bomb and some goober on the Internet says “nothing happened, though”

This is literally things happening dude

We got Asia, East Asia, Latin Asia, Europe, Kangaroo Europe, US, and Ice Europe, the seven continents

Is Mali…in East Asia?

We could be living like this but instead we’re demonizing the DPRK

A Greek man walks into a tailor shop and hands the tailor a pair of pants.

The tailor asks: “Euripides?”

The man replies, “yes, Eumenides?”

Eufrosyne

Same amount of syllables as pepperoni. Just sayin’

Rafael (Ted’s dad) claims that he was a part of the Cuban revolution, and that was why Batista tortured him. The idea being that he suffered and fought for the revolution, so he is an authority when it comes to criticizing Fidel for betraying the revolutionaries and becoming a new dictator.

There is no evidence he was a revolutionary, though, his account has glaring mistakes about the time and place of major events he was supposedly at, and people who knew him back in Cuba said he just did some anti-Batista graffiti as the extent of his involvement.

If it’s so easy to choose to be part of war then get off your ass and do something, soldier. The Internet trenches aren’t going to defeat imperialism, they need the world’s best strategist in the war room, get to it.

The average Iranian wasn’t interested in going to war because, surprise surprise, they now get to see their sons and daughter fucking bombed. How terrible it must be to blame them for hoping that it wouldn’t come to this, because the monumental decision to pull the trigger on a war and all the countless deaths that will follow was not a simple calculus to the people who are actually involved.

Woe to them for the judgments of a safe and righteous keyboard warrior.

This is truly such cynical and bloodthirsty rhetoric. You’re literally victim-blaming on a national scale because Iran tried to avert war.

Because the people of the US are materially interested in attacking others. You talk about yourself as some great material analyst, but come on. Actually look at the demographics you’re talking about, actually learn how people are in the US and China, the lives they lead, the things they think, their material conditions and their class interests. It’s pretty obvious why the US can convince people to go to war, and why China would struggle to get popular support for foreign intervention. The US is propped up by violence, it feeds them. China is propped up by peaceful trade. You can’t just “analyze” your way out of how people relate to the world around them and how people would feel about being asked to get involved in a war.

They are made up of people. And I can guarantee you that the people of China aren’t interested in being at war with Israel, so what is the nation-state supposed to do? It’s all well and good to call yourself materialist, but the material conditions of the average Chinese citizen doesn’t lend towards them wanting to die in Iran. So what, should China try to impose militarism on its populace? It’s easy to demand violent intervention, war, and foreign imposition when that’s how capitalist nations operate, but when it’s you and your family being asked to give up your currently peaceful life to die for people you’ve never met…well most of the people here baying for blood certainly wouldn’t do it, most people here would hardly deprive themself of a comfort, a convenience, or a treat unless forced to.

Edit: and while we’re at it, you definitely didn’t do “everything within your power” if you’re asking other people to put their lives on the line but you’re safely here typing on Hexbear

“I’ve sat by and watched”

Well there’s your problem, stop sitting by and do something, if you’re so eager for everyone else to be at war why are you on hexbear instead of at war?

After this, Lenin and Trotsky went to Tsar and said, “The Lord, the God of Proletariat, says this: ‘Let My people go, that they may have a special supper to honor Me in the taiga.’” 2 But Tsar said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey Him and let Proletariat go? I do not know the Lord. And I will not let Proletariat go.” 3 Then they said, “The God of the Proletarians has met with us. We ask of you, let us travel into the taiga three days, to give a gift on an altar in worship to the Lord our God. Or He may send death to us by disease or by the sword.” 4 But the king of Russia said to them, “Lenin and Trotsky, why do you take the people away from their work? Return to your work!” 5 Then Tsar said, “See, the people of the land are now many. And you would have them stop working!”

Why can’t a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks that his booty is fly?

“That is why God placed Ukraine and Russia next to each other”

Missed the part of the Bible where God drew modern geopolitical borders, which book is that?

This is fascinating.

Victoria’s Secret still exists, they stopped calling their models Angels but they still do fashion shows including with models that were previously Angels. People are “spike protein factories” in that we allowed SARS-CoV-2 to run rampant and reproduce in people, but I doubt that’s what he means. His dove is dead, but that doesn’t seem related to liberal insanity. All games are remakes now, but even ones that aren’t still have beautiful women? All women are beautiful. The acceptance of violence and gore and the demonisation of women’s bodies is a real problem, but again, not the way this guy means. Music definitely still exists lol, and I guarantee there are still people making whatever boring white guy rock he considers “real music.” No more pretty actresses? And yet he considers Sydney Sweeney pretty (and there are definitely plenty of similar actresses), but they are not pretty after all because they’re in woke movies? I know for a fact that there are plenty of “anti-woke” boring ass conservative movies with women he would be horny for getting made.

He is absolutely correct that kids are getting indoctrinated about gender before they even know what it is. That’s what trans liberation is fighting against, the insidious indoctrination of cisnormativity and rigid binary gender roles.

He’s right about AI. Uhhh, it is hard to make friends but the problem is alienation and individualism and gruelling exploitation, not that they think “you want to do them.” That seems like he’s giving off some iffy as hell signals (to men and women?) Dunno about anime censorship, but in real life women’s bodies are being shrunk on purpose, that’s fatphobia. Healthy sexuality is suppressed in media, ignore this guy’s weird assertion that queer sexuality is gross and somehow less suppressed.

People like this are so fascinating. They can sense something is wrong about society, and often can even point to real problems, but then their conclusions are that the Nazis were good actually and woke is ruining their lives.

Shooting at the No Kings protest in Salt Lake City being reported

Sheesh, well, an overwhelming number of people at the protests this afternoon seem to think that you can invoke the law like a magic charm to stop the cops and are waving american flags, so the bar on today is pretty low.

Not into Twitch and never saw Hasan before this, but y’know, he’s been putting other people’s safety first, keeping a cool head, and helping the confused and panicked libs, so I gotta say, pretty solid first impression of this guy.
