/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

    Americans are just as culpable as any Israeli CW: War, SA, Terrible Vibes, Racism

  • One example I always go back to was when pollsters asked USAmericans “Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?”

    30% of Republicans and 19% of Democrats said they'd support it.

  • Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner

  • That's still embodied energy, so the question becomes; "How much energy does it take to actually make these materials?"

    In particular, the device is packed with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which are synthetic porous materials engineered at the molecular level to have huge surface areas. A few grams of an MOF can have a surface area equivalent to a football arena, according to the source.

    That sounds pretty energy-intensive to me.

  • ww3 aka the pedophile war of aggression

  • Epstein's revenge.

  • How do you say "illegal war of aggression"?

    Jump

  • The fact that it's up for interpretation actually demonstrates my point, that's what I mean by "she can't seem to decide" and that it's mixed with "weak liberal garbage." This isn't a strong enough statement for me to be satisfied.

    Though, like I said, it's better than I feared. European liberals are coming out much more strongly in support of the war.

  • If Congress gives its approval she's going to need to sharpen her "war is wrong" critique a lot more than this, and that's one thing that would be really good about a War Powers Resolution. It'll force the anti-war voices to stop hiding behind proceduralism like this and to actually make the case against war outside of appealing to the Constitution or whatever.

  • How do you say "illegal war of aggression"?

    Jump

  • What the OP means by an "illegal war" and what she means by "This war is unlawful." seems different. The OP is talking about international law: wars of aggression are illegal. AOC seems to only be saying it's unlawful because it lacks Congressional approval.

  • It's better than I feared, but not as good as I hoped. She can't seem to decide if the war itself is wrong or if war without Congressional approval is wrong. She says some good things here, I like that she called out the blatant aggression, but it's mixed with this weak liberal garbage about Congress's authority and the Constitution that undermines her condemnation.

    What will she say if there is a vote, and the warmongers that control Congress vote for war?

  • Therefore when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies around you, in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.

    The world's first recorded use of doublethink?

    Gibberish.

    Jump

  • Violent rioters armed by Israel and the US are also oppressors. They just want to oppress different factions.

  • Iran has reportedly launched retaliatory strikes against Israel

    Jump

  • You need to understand that the civilians will suffer if Iran can not fight off Israel here.

  • Israel launches attack on Iran

    Jump

  • They don't get to decide for everyone else.

    Those police and military personnel, for instance, don't want Iran to fall. They shot the armed rioters because they wanted to defend Iran. Why don't they count?

  • Israel launches attack on Iran

    Jump

  • That's getting cause-and-effect backwards.

    Israel only gives weapons to people who they believe will be useful. Every single person Israel gives weapons to is someone who will pledge their loyalty to Israel, they'd never give weapons to someone who might turn those weapons back on Israel someday.

  • Israel launches attack on Iran

  • Yeah I'm sure the regime installed by fucking Israel and the US will be so much better! 🤡

  • Israel launches attack on Iran

    Jump

  • And do you think fucking Israel is a great liberator?

    They'd just be US/Israeli slaves, and I promise that will be much worse.

  • Israel launches attack on Iran

    Jump

  • And if the civilians are armed by a foreign country, with the goal of toppling your government? Should the government just let them win?

  • Israel launches attack on Iran

    Jump

  • You're just ignoring the weapons that the US/Israel provided them, huh?

    They sure as shit wouldn't have attacked police and military institutions without foreign backing.
