Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.
When asked about the aid levels, Miller acknowledged Israel has “failed” to meet US requests so far but said there was still time until the 30-day deadline and that the US wouldn’t give a “grade” to Israel just yet. “It’s not the end of the semester. You don’t give out – you don’t hand out grades in the middle,” he said while laughing.
Calling that a joke seems… generous.
When WC1 first launched the one selling point that everyone mentioned was that if you click on units enough times they get annoyed and say “stop poking me!”
Warcraft was always heavy on the whacky, that’s its whole thing.
I love being reminded that even things we don’t think of as cultural practices, like kissing or holding hands, are still culturally mediated.
Oh yeah, I see that. No idea what I thought it said.
Y’all … You guys … you’re
Let’s ignore the question of what you think moralizing is if you saw it in the eight words you replied to. What I’m curious about is, do you think you’re talking to Hezbollah? On Lemmy?
part of God’s plan
Netanhayu’s not god, he’s just a brutal lying tyrant with no respect for human life - so I can see how you’d get confused.
I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Both parties support the US empire, of which Israel is a keystone piece in a vital region.
But israel’s genocide and a wider war in the middle east don’t benefit our imperial interests, only netanyahu’s career. Without the leverage of an election year, we’d have more political room to reign in our wayward vassal a little.
We’re just gonna let netanyahu start a regional war to avoid the consequences of his own failures because if we try to stop him AIPAC will do even more to help the neo-nazi riddled republican party win in november.
The 21st century is going great.
Sticking together is what good pastas do.
I don’t think you can presume to know what he expected when he hasn’t said what he expected, or to know the effect it’s had within a handful of days.
Trying to take your own life out of depression and being willing to give your life to a cause differ in intent, goals, context and likely methods.
What benefits do you see from classifying them as the same thing? They seem very different to me.
Starting ones self on fire is a suicide attempt, regardless of political motive.
Is being a soldier assigned to conduct an assault operation also a suicide attempt?
Knowingly doing something that might kill you is not the sole criteria for a suicide attempt. If they weren’t suicidal it wasn’t a suicide attempt.
They were suicidal
I’ve not heard any reporting say this. I’ve seen internet commenters presume this, but just because someone engaged in an action that could result in their death, doesn’t mean they’re suicidal.
I don’t think it’s realistic to assume you understand the mental state of someone who’s already proved they are capable of setting themselves on fire to make a point.
Why would you think that people who have the courage to act on their principles would regret it?
The amount of self determination it must take to smell the gasoline and still strike the match makes me think that the people who do this are capable of living with the consequences of their actions.
Reminds me of a line from The Maxx: “The Crapon-in-a-hat and Jean Paul Satre team up to fight nausea? Sounds like a losing battle to me.”
I’ve heard so many right wingers claim that Californians aren’t real americans, and yet here they are trying to shoot their way out of the consequences of large scale systemic failures.
You’re a troll though. It’s easy to tell because every single post in your comment history is trolling.
I’m gonna block you now but best of luck with your future trolling.
I can’t believe you’re censoring Baathist voices. So much for the tolerant global military hegemon.
