Power and prestige. In the US the billionaire class is revered as the shining beacon. Everyone wants to be them and history tells them they can be. You just have to get lucky. Like winning the lottery.

Maybe a warning for future generations about what is apparently acceptable discourse now.

If you got skills, pick a country and go to their immigration website. They will happily walk you through the process.

20 million people did not stay home over Palestine. People aware of that issue are also acutely aware of the fact Trump would be worse.

Apparently a lot of apathy among dem voters, or they also think a strongman for a while would be OK.

Top brass seem to swing the other way though. These are generations that tangled with Russia and china for decades now. They see much more behind the curtain than others do.

Fascism is very good for businesses. They squash dissent like unions and the publics voice. Then only the billionaire class will have a voice.

Y’all queda

If the Dems win and they don’t put a boot on the neck of this fascist movement it will take over eventually.

He’s the first. The prosecutors now have a story and timeline that works

Others involved are in hot water.

At least you are not worried about all the extra people in the world that will get hurt by your reactionary stance leading to a trump presidency. If you can’t have your way, let the world burn… Gotcha.

In this case you either vote against actual fascism or risk it taking over.

So voting for a hand puppet with no serious program, credentials, infrastructure to govern is better? Stein has no ambitions to make american do anything better, else she would be front and center actually doing something between election cycles… but she does not. If anything you have more risks, cause in the case she would magically win, who would become het cabinet? You have no clue who and what they stand for… And that should worry you … A lot.

Vance literally said this. “I will make up whatever story is needed to draw attention to a subject that is important to my voters donors”

Unfounded accusations are not the same as proven Loes by Trump either. And the Trump team constantly fabricate lies Kamala told. Not saying she has not, or the truth is more nuances than a soundbite.

You’re wrong on this one buddy. Using irony as a shield from consequences is a classic strategy for assholes and fascists alike. Just like the “it’s just a joke, bro”.

Have a nice evening.

Well then, if I would tell you I" hope you don’t get a cut on your tongue from all the boots you lick" how would you interpret that? As its the same type of gist.

No, he said exactly what he meant.

The logic Zionists employ: Palestinian = terrorist. Because Hasan said “I’m pro Palestinian” the other dude called him a terrorist and said harm should come to him using the phrasing “I hope your pager does not explode”. Because of the Hamas pagers recently being blown up by Mossad and Mehdi is pro Palestinian so a terrorist and would have a pager of a terrorist organisation.

CNN and everyone at the table rightfully reacted the way they did.

That’s fair!

I think International law does not disagree, it might be something that can be litigated. The pagers where specifically for hezbollah members, not civilians. I’ll expect “boobytraps and civilians” to be a losing argument, time will tell.

And, a terrorist organisation that takes over a region, intertwines itself with civil society to get legitimacy while at the same time sabotaging the countries government with threats of terror… is still a terrorist organisation. And anyone working for them a terrorist. I.e. Someone doing the bookkeeping for a terrorist group is still a terrorist.

Hezbollah started in direct resistance to Israeli occupation of Lebanon, I wonder what would have happened if they had not continued Post occupation or at least not shot at Israel and allowed for the Lebanese government to try and work with Israël on a peaceful border and other things that stood between the countries and their peoples.

The settler colonial project of Israel is filled with rabid fascists, I agree whole heartedly. The current government of Israel is peak of that performance.

But trying to paint this as a boobytrap, and targeting civilians. I don’t think anyone buys that for a minute.

And this was hardly indiscriminate. It was pagers that where handed directly to Hezbollah and distributed by Hezbollah through their network. It’s not as if these where sold by shops in Lebanon to normal Lebanese.

And collateral sucks, but this still had less than the bomb that was dropped on the appartment complex with the command bunker under it filled with Hezbollah staff.

A supply chain of a terrorist organisations was infiltrated and they where sold devices fitted with explosives and then distributed it within their organisation.

Everyone with a pager (and later also other devices) fell within the Hezbollah hierachy. The fact Hezbollah has infiltrated every level of society and has Docters and many others in their ranks does not make them invalid targets.

Besides, judging from the videos, we saw people standing next to whoever had the pager where mostly fine. The children dieing is horrible.

So calling it indiscriminate is more than a stretch. And the collateral damage is wayyyyy lower than with the rest of how Israël behaves.

Right? In the correct setting and with a lot of jokes on the environment in the set leading up to it… he might have gotten away with it. But at a fascist rally in MSG he was just vocalizing the sentiment in the room, like court jesters would do.

Now the trump team can climb on their podium and cry how everyone is a snowflake and point at this outrage to invigorate their base.

I guess they underestimated the backlash.
