A day or two ago, some lib on .ee was calling Hexbear, .ML, and Lemmygrad the "triad of extremism." Hilarious, really.

Not to mention, Luigi has some really iffy stuff on his social media before his arrest. When this got pointed out, crackers went ballistic at how PoC maybe weren't comfortable jumping to his defense the same way we don't jump to the defense of Pelosi/Trump's would-be assassins.
I think it was you (?) who in another thread pointed out the left is so unorganized and deeply unserious that it can't capitalize on justifiable adventurism and redirect it into material, systemic change. Conditions in Palestine and the Philippines are both worse, yet they managed to have leftists organizing armed resistance while Americans just kind of sit on our thumbs calling AES tankies/crazy/etc.
does not mean that Russia will then be compelled to so the same as tit-for-tat.
I didn't mean that they were necessarily going to commit retaliatory crimes. What I mean is they become "justified" if they do. Yes, Russia has shown tremendous restraint, especially compared to what NATO has been doing the last 50 years.
I'm pointing out that if Ukraine were to do something incredibly stupid like use biological weapons on Russians (such as anthrax), Russia would have a good reason to use WMDs of their own in order to accelerate the end of the war before Ukraine did it again.
This is the reason the Axis Powers didn't use chemical weapons against the British or Americans. They knew if they did, the Allies could retaliate with a much larger stockpile of more sophisticated weaponry. It's not like nazis were against chemical weapons (it's how they killed most of their victims in concentration camps).
So with Ukraine doing stuff like using civilians to carry out attacks, Russia has enough reason to escalate if they think it's strategically viable. There would be no consequences for Russia, only their own guilt and internal turmoil.
Yeah unfortunately caught in the crossfire. I forget where, but some car podcast or radio show or whatever got banned from social media out of nowhere one day when they were accidentally caught by the auto mod lol
CONINTELPRO never stopped. It just became open-source and official policy.
justifies seeing them as targets
Yeah people forget, there's no higher power enforcing laws around wars. Only the victor will get to decide what gets punished. The purpose of war crimes is for nations at war with each other have an agreement not to do certain things or use certain weapons.
Once you start committing war crimes, there won't be police knocking on your door to arrest you or a fine sent to you in the mail. The response will come from the other side who have justification to do the exact same shit you just did. You start using civilians as cover? They're going to blow them up. You start blowing up civilians? Their civilians are just going to start attacking your troops. You carpet bomb cities? They will carpet bomb cities. You use chemical weapons? They will use chemical weapons. Etc. Etc.
There is no benefit for the Ukrainians to do this. They are in a losing position already. What's going to happen is Russia will respond with crimes of their own and then they will prosecute Ukrainians for the crimes they committed once Russia has won. There won't be any consequences for Russia itself. The UN won't have a case to build if the Ukrainians did something first. Even if they did, Russia can ignore it the way the US does.
Oooooooh.....I have been having stomach problems with these symptoms since before covid and doctors can't figure out what it is. It would be nice if they finally found a cause. I'm going into like year 6 of eating hurts.
It's often the T-slur that's used. It's replaced the gay F-word for a lot of conservatives since it's socially acceptable while the other gets them fired.
"If you ignore the definition of a word and change the definition to something else entirely, then it's not the meaning of the word."
I hate these fucking "Ummm ackshully....." debatelord libertarians. Him and the thousand people who liked his post need to be lined up against a wall and shot. I mean that literally, FBI agent reading this. Fuck these snakes.
Jones isn't not racist, though. When he's talking about aliens and turning the frogs gay, he's dog whistling antisemitic conspiracy theories. By "global elites," Jones means Jews. If you venture to the bottom of these conspiracy theories, they are always a roundabout way of blaming the world's problems on Jews.
Fox is more explicit with their bigotry, but Jones is saying the same shit with more theatrics.
It is ironic how chuds are against Postmodernism when that's the foundation of their ideology. Marxism is a modernist philosophy: it has concrete definitions and focuses on the scientific method. Postmodernism rejects not only Modernism, it rejects the concept of rules and definitions altogether.
So when a Marxist uses a word, they mean a specific definition with a history of understanding behind its meaning. Postmodernists, on the other hand, make up random ass shit word salad like "high agency males," where the listener is free to infer whatever they want.
This was one of the final plots of the show "Dollhouse." People with cybernetic implants could store memories on external drives and swap them out as needed or make copies. So if you wanted to learn Mandarin, you could load up a native speaker's memories and copy them over to your brain, then replace it with something else if you wanted to free up space in your head.
And of course, there's The Matrix.
