As an outside observer, it sorta feels like after the useless “no more kings” protests that achieved absolutely nothing, and months of similar movements, combined with sporadic and more effective violent resistance being seen in some areas, that a large mass of people are getting very radicalised and seeing things clearly around what’s going to need to happen to stop ICE. Every thread about it on /r/news seems to be dominated by liberals openly stating that violent resistance is necessary and good, and there’s far less of the “you’re giving them an excuse to crack down!!!” type shit flying around. This wasn’t the case even a couple of months ago. The Democratic base is getting to the point where their calls for blood are making it into national news, to the horror of their leadership. Is this an accurate assessment?

they should kill them instead of charging extra

Lebanon faces an existential threat if it does disarm Hezbollah. Fuck this. The israelis would haveremovedd and murdered their way to the Litani if not for those heroes.

thank you <3

thanks!

true

People complain because we’re not acclimatised to hot temperatures, and the infrastructure is generally not built to deal with them either. Australians feel cold in 10c weather too, which we’d have no issues with. It’s not that hard to figure out.

Remember how abolishing the police had majority/near-majority support in the wake of the murder of George Floyd? Public opinion is fickle and malleable.

Russian arms exports have been largely on a hold since they invaded Ukraine too, right? I can see why a lot of states would think twice about buying weapons that might take years to come, while China is producing more and more every year.

Yeah true. I guess the bigger question is how long the govt can continue to prop it up. At some point, so long as there aren’t major changes in the geopolitical situation, western economies can’t just keep running larger and larger deficits forever. The British state already nearly had a bond market collapse in 2022.

Probably in cases where the armed struggle could no longer feasibly continue and would only do more harm than good to the communities/organisations that were struggling against an oppressive power. It’s never really been something you do if you’ve achieved all your goals, though. Cost-benefit analysis.

these are the guys that are apparently going to roll through Poland and the Baltics at any moment lmao

Not to suggest that history will certainly repeat in the same way it did before, but in the lead-up to the crash in 1929, the markets were rising at an absurd pace, yet the gains were extremely brittle and once things broke they broke badly. I don’t think anyone knows what is going on right now but it doesn’t seem healthy that the market should nearly double its worth in 5 years.

Actions against the US, UK, Israel etc are justified as part of the hybrid war these states have been fighting against one another for decades, and most of these are based on pretty flimsy evidence/accusations. Most major states could be called “sponsors of terrorism” if this is what qualifies. Of course, that’s not to say that stuff like the Fatwa against Rushdie is good, or based, just that this pales in comparison to what other states have done to Iran for the past couple of centuries.

oh neat, free podcasts. thanks for sharing

brown and Muslim. how dare they

i like how Iran has never committed a single act of “terrorism” or supported any organisation which does and yet
