yeah man maybe Israel should not have taken the bait and behaved like genocidal maniacs
On Oct 7 2023, Sinwar knew exactly what he wanted when hamas attacked Israel.
What Sinwar was for desperate for was video of the IDF killing his own people. He cynically BANKED on suicide by IDF; where the videos released corresponded to a pre written narrative of Israelis as genocidal maniacs.

i have been doing a deep dive into the Rolling Stone / Eastern Oregon datacenter water story, and... as far as i can tell, no named source other than the corrupt republican county commissioner who was turned out of office because he was _responsible_ for the nitrate spraying mentioned Amazon at all.

What the doomers don’t seem to get is that nobody, including Trump, can cancel elections or implement fascism when they 15-20 points underwater in the polls.
Every time I say this I get a reply like this and ICE isn’t implementing fascism, and it bugs me. They’re terrorizing people so they can post about it, and that’s awful, but they’re nowhere near their goals. It’s why that Col. Lockjaw-looking morherfucker is always on camera. It’s propaganda.
Ice is implementing fascism.

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

Listen I hate Biden as much as the next guy, but for real reasons like appointing Merrick Garland or sending bombs to Israel. Every time someone says shit like "Biden promised he would be a one term president!" or "it's Biden's fault he had narrow legislative margins and an evil SCOTUS" I cry.

we got Trump because “the Biden we got wasn’t the Biden we voted for” and shitlibs were 100% ok with his reneging on his campaign promises of reforming ICE, reforming the police, single payer healthcare, election reform, etc.

Exactly. It's disingenuous to call it a purity test to say "You shouldn't be beholden to right-wing billionaires pushing right-wing policies and right-wing candidates."

No, Progressives Don’t Want “Purity.” They Just Want Some Courage.
When left-leaning Democrats complain about corporate influence, it’s not a “purity test.” It’s a demand for a better politics.

If you only fight censorship right up to the line where it becomes your definition of porn, refusing to have solidarity with pornographers, I can't find it in me to care about your problems. You've shown you don't care about mine and will bounce the moment you get what benefits you.

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.
