The problem with claiming the opposite, are things like Patton's pretty much spot on prediction of the attack, the fact that intelligence at the time was routed through Washington, with capability to break the Japanese codes, or the still not declassified documents relating some pre-attack intercepts.

It all suggests that Roosevelt, and/or his staff, had all the pieces to figure out what was going to happen. Whether they didn't, or did and decided to do nothing, and the lack of proof either way... is what makes the conspiracy theory keep being a possible conspiracy theory. 🤷

Indeed, that's why I chose that comparison. Both diamonds and real estate are expensive because of marketing and corruption.

Plenty of those, they're called wage slaves servers, you may need to tip though.

We're allowed to straight up lie to a judge in order to defend ourselves... while "everything you say can be used against you", so much for free speech.

They said it earlier on the news.

First there were requests for Egypt to open their borders in order to let humanitarian aid into Gaza... to which Egypt said "the fuck no, we don't want Palestinians coming into Egypt".

So next was a request for Egypt to open just a humanitarian corridor into Gaza... to which Hamas said "the fuck no, we don't want Palestinians leaving Gaza". 🤦

Last news I've heard, is that some planes are getting packed with humanitarian aid at an Egyptian airfield, to fly into Gaza and only deliver the aid... because neither Egypt nor Hamas want any of the people in there to leave (hopefully some might jump onto the planes anyway).

Hamas is supposedly also stopping anyone from heeding Israel's 24h ultimatum to leave northern Gaza, however laughable that is to evacuate over a million people on such a short notice.

Israel would likely let everyone out... as long as they went "out out", as in to some other country, not to Israel.

This is untrue

Which part?

Did the people stationed there get warned? Did merchant Marines have access to top brass intelligence reports? Did Roosevelt have a different motivation? Did Pearl Harbor not happen...?

when you stop to look at the powder keg they created

Wait until you expand it by a few more years:

No /s, no sarcasm.

Stopped counting after the tenth guy /s

Fun fact: milk without extra vitamin D, actually reduces the calcium content in your bones.

You can milk anything with nipples.

What was first, the eggplant or the chickenplant?... 😛

I don't think the CCP is good, would you donate to my fork?

LW has some communities which are quite non-freespeech, with rules like "we can remove and ban anything against the rules or not" (see !world), and some which use their rules arbitrarily as excuses for removing content that doesn't match their ideology (see !politicalmemes).

Wonder how they feel about Hamas preventing the evacuation of civilians from Gaza... but I bet that question would be banned as soon as it was posted.

Or 4 bends. You're not the first one to realize.

This is an admin thing, some mods are still all over the place on this instance.

ultra capitalist systems in the US or EU

Given the number of social programs in the EU, bunching it with the US just denotes ignorance.

There are some commonly used emails by most domain owners, like: info, webmaster, security, reports, sales, etc. Some people also set their email with a catch-all address, so if someone sends an email to "cat.in.tights", they'll get it too.

Sounds like the same way we still consider the US a democracy.

Europeans believe in being civil first.
