  • Uhhh, because these were bombs - bombs that were remotely and indiscriminately detonated. Some of the people were driving, some standing next to children or on busses full of people. There are reports of children who died because they were standing next to a target at head-level with the pager.There's no guarantee they were even being carried by "Hezbollah's guys".

    I don't even know why anyone would assume otherwise. This was a loosely targeted terror attack

  • Likely because the bulk of those wounded by this attack were not Hezbollah

    I don't even know how you'd reasonably expect to only injure your targets in an attack as widespread and remote as this one. Seems blatantly indiscriminate at best.

  • Jesus christ, that's just not what socialism is.

    There's a reason why social-democrats are castigated in communist circles. Social-democratic policy is always inevitably eroded because social safety nets don't solve the fundamental contradiction of capitalism. It isn't a matter of 'getting out the vote'

  • Almost as if the point of socialism is to strip away the the means of production from the capitalists in order to install a dictatorship of the proletariat, and not simply apply social safety-net band-aids so that capitalism can continue to function.

    American liberals are so exhausting in their selective application of definitions.
