He's acting like Trump bumbled into making a mistake, but Trump 100% supports the global race to the bottom on corporate taxes. By shattering the goal of a minimum tax he accomplished his goal. He won. You lost to a pigeon.

Mostly connections and luck based on the trash I hear that's somehow popular.

China is most definitely in a position to stop this

I know? I literally said "China could stop this."

That doesn't tell us why they haven't, though. The only thing that makes sense is their usual abundance (or excess) of caution. Any actions taken against Israel will be seen as an attack by the West, even something like a drone blacklist, and they're keen to avoid direct confrontation with the West as long as possible.

This isn't a justification, just an explanation.

This is a consequence of not cutting off trade with Israel. These are commercial drones from independent sellers that Israel is converting to military use (so it's not like China is selling them weapons) but China could stop this.

China has been reducing trade with Israel since this phase of the genocide began, but it has been a slow process. I suspect that China is worried about Western retaliation, which doesn't really excuse trading with Israel but does help to explain it.

Yeah I'm just a stupid animal and can't grasp the genius thoughts of your giant brain.

I guess you could say: through constantly shifting rhetorical focus the enemy is both weak and strong.

I'm wondering how Russiagate conspiracy theorists square this. Just the other week they were telling me Russia orchestrated the war on Iran (a key military ally and a billion+ dollar trading partner) because they wanted oil prices to increase, so they're definitely creative enough to find a way!

Your misanthropy is showing. Medieval peasants would launch uprisings over Church corruption, and they couldn't even read.

You... hate the way he rips the mask off of things that were already happening and forces them into the public's awareness?

Or I could just use the dash - way easier.

And it doesn't make me look like a robot.

I don't get it. Why do you think this is heavily downvoted?

Sure, but unless they explicitly condemn PA a court might find it "reasonable" to assume they are supporters. Then they have to fight it out in court and it comes down to whether the courts are going to rule in favor of the government or not. At the very least it gives law enforcement the power to search their computers and phones for PA support, so they need to have squeaky clean data hygene.

There's a real chilling effect on all Palestinian solidarity, even if technically this should only apply to PA specifically.

I don't know if that's true. It's illegal for an individual to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are a member or supporter of a proscribed organisation, which might include phrases or slogans associated with the group like "end the genocide" or "free Palestine". I think you have to explicitly condemn PA to avoid that law.

What the hell am I looking at? What the fuck is going on with those diagonal arrows??

They aren't necessarily trying to make us support Israel, they just don't want us to support Palestinian resistance. They like the status quo of people condemning Hamas.

My keyboard does not have an em dash and I have never seen one that does.

Still sus. 🤔

The recent Medicaid cut to make a few hundred billionaire friends happier/richer was terrible propaganda. Doesn't that contradict your point?

Humans just use dashes - they get the point across and don't require esoteric button presses.

Zionists collaborated with Nazis to help them deport Jews to Palestine.

From the source I posted, white women still only favored Trump by a 4-point margin. Is that enough to write them all off?
