Israel isn’t a real state, it’s a neoimperialist attack dog that occasionally forgets its leash. It’s theft and murder incarnate. If you really consider historical context to be important and still hold to a two-state solution as the ideal outcome, then I’m sorry, you’re lacking a great deal of historical context and haven’t the right to invoke it here.
They shouldn’t go anywhere with it. I’d hate to see nuDoom become another franchise zombie.
Actual Nazi propaganda. You get fucked
Seriously. I recently read a paper somebody linked here which went over Russian artillery doctrine. Long and the short is that the Russians can get effective artillery fires on a target inside of three minutes under optimal conditions, particularly when using UAVs for spotting. They’ve also gotten into the habit of attaching mortars to infantry units and forming them up into mortar teams ad hoc, giving such units some quite potent local indirect fire support.
Frank, I’m late on the draw here, but I just wanna say it warms to my heart to know that I’m not the only huge armored warfare nerd around here, and for this I thank you
Much appreciated. I could do with more specificity the next time I have to make this argument lol
My BOY how is that not better than sleeping on a piece of cardboard on the sidewalk??
Anyhow, what, is every single home in China a flimsy shack? Can you dredge up one single solitary study on what percentage of homes in China are of substandard construction? Can you do any goddamned thing but regurgitate half-remembered unsubstantiated talking points from youtube from lord knows how long ago?
If you can, have it. Give us a source and we’ll have a talk about it. Otherwise, shut the FUCK up
Literally no such thing. The Holodomor is a fiction created by Nazi propagandists to paint the failures of Soviet agricultural policy in dealing with a famine as a deliberate attempt to exterminate Ukranians.
Important to note, this was merely the latest in a long series of famines which had historically plagued this part of eastern Europe. It was also the last.
You can’t be racist to white people.
Racism directed by white people against, say, Chinese people is despicable not only because white people on the whole have an inordinate amount of wealth and social and political power, and thus their own racial animus presents a real threat, but because the Chinese specifically have historically been the victims of majority white imperialist nations and the targets of the most vile racial discrimination in majority white countries.
It’s the same as cracker versus the n-word. Guy calls me a cracker, it’s little more than a simple insult. I call a black guy the n-word, it’s far more offensive, because people who looked like me used to call people like him that word while owning them as property, denying their human rights, and lynching them.
The powerful cannot be the victims of the powerless, and one categorically cannot be racist to white people.
A person can only believe otherwise if they’re wholly ignorant and deny the history of racism and racial inequality.
Shoutout to hbomberguy for exposing us youngins to the absolute gem of that gormless shill flopping about like a fish on the dock after being dared to drink weed-killer
So this is all just transparent make-believe, right?
By god you’re right. A shameful omission on my part, Hawaii is my favorite example of the practicalities of imperialist acquisition.
We may need to recreate the N-word bot now that we’re federated with these types
The US has always been a horrid settler colonial/imperialist hellhole, but I think it’s a step too far to say that the US has always been fascist, or even ever has been, only because fascism is best viewed as a reaction to a powerful revolutionary left wing movement, and we’ve arguably never really had one of those in the US. Even at the height of the US left’s power and legitimacy, I don’t think you can really say it was in a position to seriously challenge capital.
But then again, fascism has always been a concept whose terms are a bit tricky to pin down, so this disagreement could very well just be a me problem.
Republicans are liberals. Don’t get mad at us because you can’t be fucked to pick up a book and learn things.
The US doesn’t commit crimes, we pass laws to make them legal post-facto
I used to live up in those mountains, and unfortunately this didn’t come as any surprise to me. The San Bernardino Mountains are full of armed reactionary maniacs, and it truly is a wonder that this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often.
Hell, I dunno. This sort of thing got through to me eventually, maybe I’m hoping I can change minds myself.
That’s not what he meant and you know it. He’s making light of an obvious double standard regarding the standing in which we hold two sources with obvious national biases.
Alright, I mean this in the kindest way possible, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t have the time required nor the desire to rectify that, so I’ll simply say that you’ve spent a regrettable amount of time here embarrassing yourself in front of people who know substantially more about history and politics than you do. Trying to debate communists on those subjects at all is generally a bad idea, but to do so armed only with natsec PR and mystery statistics is something else.
