Unfortunately I think most of us would probably survive at least the a couple of those years, as much as we might wish we died.

Voting won't save you.

Voting also isn't the only option.

Recall that there are four boxes of liberty.

If they let us vote again then we might as well do it, but at the rate things are going they might just rig the election if they don't cancel it.

Be suspicious of anyone who tells you that voting is going to solve this problem. They aren't going to let you vote them out of power.

By all means, vote if you can! But if the only thing you do is vote, you will lose.

True, I'm pretty sure they hate them for being Arabs. They love killing Palestinian Christians too. It's racial.

The existence of Israel is part of what causes that intolerance within majority Muslim countries. Israel, through its own racist apartheid and colonialism, has inflamed resentments in the region against non-Muslim peoples.

But Israel doesn't deserve all the blame! The other cause is the US actively propping up other repressive regimes in the region, as well as murdering so many people's families that they see no choice but to take up arms against the Great Satan.

The only way to believe that Islam is some kind of uniquely backwards and primitive religion is through racism. This situation is a product of recent history.

I'm not going to forgive your racism, actually.

Decolonization can be done peacefully.

I don't think that will happen, but it could!

I also support Palestinian resistance, and that's very different from Israeli violence inflicted onto Palestinians. Indigenous resistance to colonization is always justified.

Sure, Israel should be abolished peacefully.

I'm just saying, this isn't how we got here.

No, we ended up in this situation because colonizers came and stole Palestinian land. It's an Israeli myth that Palestinians first stole the land from the Jews and expelled them.

The truth is, Palestinians are just descendents of ancient Israelis. They're not invaders. They're indigenous to the land.

You are making it sound as it the Biden Administration did not outright lie on a ton of things.

The hell are you talking about? I'm very aware Biden lied constantly about "tirelessly working towards a ceasefire" and is the reason this war is happening in the first place. I have no loyalty to that senile butcher or anyone loyal to him (Copmala etc).

I will go with available facts

What available facts? All we have to go off of are claims made by the US, and claims are not facts. Surely this was recorded, but we won't get to see it - the facts are hidden by the chain of command and military secrecy. It's not like the US is going to publish the actual details or footage or anything.

You don't have facts and you shouldn't act like it. We're all just speculating. Your gut says the military can be trusted, mine says it can't.

Put some sweet pea pods and chopped green onions into your ramen. Doesn't add much time or effort but adds tons of flavor.

EDIT Behold!

And yet they never catch up. Why do you think that is?

The goal is to keep them weak and dependent, not help them stand as equals with France and Germany.

it is unfortunate that the right co-opted centrism

"Always has been."

Sure, but you seem to be under the impression the only bots are the people that disagree with you.

There's nothing stopping bots from grooming you by agreeing with everything you say.

It's not the smoking gun like the title claims, but it is another piece of evidence in the pile.

Yeah, and this time masks will be illegal.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, probably from Russia. You are very smart.

Do you still think you're going to be allowed to vote for the next president?

Like why would you think it to be not possible, I wonder?

It's technically possible, but it's also possible that the jet was hit and they're covering it up.

At a certain point under this new administration you're going to have to realize that waiting for solid facts will mean waiting fifty years for documents to get declassified (assuming the US lasts that long). This only serves the interests of the regime, it can just lie and you're forced to accept it because you don't have enough evidence to disprove its lies.

When the truth is unknowable we are reduced to speculation. If the administration is hiding casualties, it certainly would also hide something like this. Why shouldn't I just go with my gut on this one?

If you trust the word of the US military you're just going with your gut too.

Y'all don't really think that fighter jet just fell off the aircraft carrier, do you? Am I supposed to believe the jet fell off the side of a ship that big because it was turning too fast because it was dodging missiles?
