If I was SK, I would be concerned about what Putin gave NK for the troops.

I’m almost 50, and this hits hard. So many things from my youth have blended together. Almost nothing from before I was 10 now.

That is one thing I do like about the phone in my pocket. I have a constant stream of photos now, of mine and my family’s life. It’s not just a random photo of a birthday here or there that survives, but an almost living journal.

Sorry, don’t mean to be down, but back to the original story…

I actually didn’t remember about the F-14 and the Sparrow missile and thought you were just thinking of the aircraft that ran into its own bullets. I wrote my reply that way and thought, maybe I should actually do some research because maybe I don’t have the best memory, lol.

So you helped me remember too.

I think you might be conflating with this story.

The F-14 was testing the missile launch system, and the engineers failed to consider all the factors of the test missile and the system, causing it to not successfully clear the aircraft on launch, damaging the aircraft. Not really shooting itself down, or a failure of the F-14 design.

But to your real point, yeah, shit happens.

They could say anything and we would not know what the real truth was, so of course they would say something that would cast a poor light on Israel…

eh, at this point I don’t give a shit. Fuck Bibi in his genocidal ass.

Nope. Would 't mind if Khamenei and Netanyahu both took a .50 cal to the forehead though.

But people like you are just like a bunch of people over here. You just want to force everyone into a pigeonhole that makes you feel better about yourself and your ideology.

People are sheep and easily manipulated. That is what Netanyahu is doing, that is what Khamenei is doing, and are you manipulating or one of the manipulated?

All of my points have been vibes?

They were specific examples.

Lol, you’re a fucking dumbass that will refuse to listen to any argument that might actually cast doubt on your fantasy.

It’s called cognitive dissonance and makes you no better than a trumplican.

Capitalism sucks for the same reason Communism sucks. For the same reason Libertarianism would REALLY fucking suck.

Because people fucking suck.

People will always abuse the power they have to keep/accrue more of it.

Look at unions. Absolutely necessary for workers to unite and fight being taken advantage of by the companies who see them as nothing more than a number on a sheet. But then they can become the problem. (Look at the police unions for a perfect example.)

Religion. It was a great tool that helped raise civilization from small tribes. It created ethical mores that cemented the value of the individual. Then the ones that became powerful went on to become institutions of manipulation and control

There needs to be a balance and Communism is not it.

The original commenter is right. This is a stupid meme.
