Thanks for the long and considered response. I did misread the post header the first time.

I think you make good points but isn't this thread about lemmy.ml and the OP on lemmy.world?

I've been here since the app exodus and see way more posts complaining about tankies than actual tankie unpleasantness in the popular and top posts. I think most people just looking at the popular posts would not come across any more unpleasantness than they'd see on reddit

Takes forever to find the flight feathers on the little guys and it's very intricate work.

"Hey guys from Latrobe. I used to know a guy from here. He had a huge dick. Be proud guys."

Fellow travelers is a phrase used to denote someone who pushes or encourages an ideology or opinion without officially being part of the organization pushing it. It was originally applied to communist sympathizers but is used for other things commonly. A race science believer might be a fellow traveler with nazis but doesn't have to be a member of the nationalist socialist workers party.

Sugar is a great example. The American sugar (and select other ag industries) are deemed to be essential so the government is okay with allotments and price supports. This doubles our price domestically. Tariffs do not make anything cheaper absolutely only relatively.

Article says "'They're going crazy,' Trump said, pointing off camera." Which I think further strengthens your argument.

I understand the frustration but Goodwill sells all that stuff to support it's job training and skills program. Here's the mission statement . Most people see it's value as a place to donate old stuff or to buy used clothes cheaply but the organization sees it's purpose differently.

/b/ in shambles

That's what I'm saying. An increasingly autocratic regime is taking out resistance in other countries. It's a big step. Doing it without permission is even bigger.

It's like hitting I'm feeling lucky every time.

Yes, Hamas that was elected as a minority party, and took over in a coup before about half of the pre genocide population was even born. The people living in a permanent refugee camp should rise up and destroy the Iranian backed terrorist group. They will accomplish this with all of the supplies that are allowed to come in. I'm sure I just took the bait but I hear actual people make that same argument.

I agree netanyahu's delegation has walked away multiple times but hamas has too. Sinwar was not the negotiator, he was the military commander on the ground so even when the hamas delegation would make progress all decisions on what goes on in Gaza went through him. He wanted a war and was (at least outwardly, judging by his writing) happy to be martyred.

I am not saying Israel is a good or consistent negotiator in this but Sinwar was a terrorist who was keeping hostages as insurance. He decided to do the attack on 10/7. This was a decision he could not get backing for from his benefactors (as far as has been reported.)

Netanyahu knows that the US will not cut off support for them. It's not even seriously discussed in the MSM. Bibi will continue to massacre the Palestinians until they are all displaced or dead. This is the only way he is staying in power. His alliance depends on settlers and other orthodox. That being said, maybe more western countries start pressuring him, cutting aid, air dropping food or something now that Hamas' leadership is being degraded.

"Everyone is quick to decry the scores of thousands of civilians we've killed. Where's the credit when we get one right?"

Sounds like the guys that sell limited edition newly minted coins on Fox News commercials.

Canada expelled some Indian diplomats and now USA is going after their agents. Next up Mohdi sends Indian troops to Russia's front line to help prosecute China's proxy war.

The secret is to look 40 when you're 25

The seller. 150k now is worth more than 150k in 5 years in the normal course of things.

Not they could. They do. You can buy squab in restaurants. Maybe stores but none I've seen.
