They have one of the most sophisticated militaries in the world. This happens on purpose. They're choosing to do this. Their military isn't so incompetent that they just accidentally kill Gazand daily.

Israel is committing genocide.

People who defend Israel are supportive of genocide.

This is the first time I've ever been able to do one in my entire life. I've tried for years. It's like I just unlocked an achievement. I now have to go dig up all my magic eye books. I will say though, I'm floored by how 3d it all looks. The depth is surprising.

Also surprised by just how easy it is to get knocked out of the illusion by just barely tilting the screen.

Oh....my god. This was the first

Perfection is the enemy of progress.

How about we stop deporting people don't like, whether they are white, brown, purple, or Jake Paul?

Thanks Dropout!

Who could have ever forseen this?

Trump: "I declare that we're having peace talks!"

Advisor: "Mr. President, that's not how it works. You can't just declare that two parties, that you're not a part of and evidently shown you have zero control over, are now having peace talks."

Trump: "...but I declared it."

So much for "innocent until proven guilty".

Fuck off right now. I just got to this stage in life. Ugh. They are so comfortable though....

Approximately 500,000 years ago, when someone made a tiny spear. They just didn't know it was an arrow at the time.

I mean what is an arrow, but a much smaller spear?

Woosh.

Yeah...

That's a good one. I actually like that one.

Nah bruv, that's that citrus fruit that grows from trees in Cali (or Italy if your in the EU).

I tried playing it while unemployed. Did not click with me. At all. I just don't get it.

I mean, according to the history of how conservative news has worked, you constantly need an 'enemy' to be afraid. It's the reason we're attacking their rights, not yours, it's the reason that we're enacting laws to target this specific ethnicityn not yours, etc.

Modern conservativism only works if your supporters are fearful of the 'other'. It used to be "orientals" and the Red Scare back in the mid-1900's. Then the blacks, the 'marihuana', and communism in the 60's and 70's. In the 80's, it was the welfare queens, the moral panic, and AIDS. In the 90's, it was child predators, gays, and the start of many identity politics. Then it was Middle Easterners and Islam in the 2000's. Now it's the Great White Replacement and the immigrant populations. See? The pattern is that you always have to have some target for fear. They don't stick around long before people realize that what they were fearful of isn't as bad as people said they were or that it was never a risk on the first place. It's all just a massive distraction to keep people from targeting the real problem. The ruling class, and they're ability to manipulate our laws, elections, and lives all for their benefit.

In the 1980s, conservatism leaned heavily on fear of the communist threat, the 'welfare queen', and a moral panic over crime, AIDS, and the erosion of traditional family values. By the 1990s, the new 'others' were undocumented immigrants, queer Americans, and the imagined tyranny of political correctness and globalist elites. The conservative movement has often relied on stoking existential dread—whether it’s the red menace, the crack epidemic, or creeping secularism—to unify its base through fear rather than hope.

100% this. There's been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there's been major protests all over the US about it. Like... we're for sure doing it.

Ah yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I'm assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot...

That would be a beautiful thing.... Wouldn't it?
