    Remember the images of the backpacks? That shit haunts me when I pick my own kids up from school. Americans have no self awareness.

      The backpacks, excavation of graves for the dead schoolchildren, bombing their water purifiers, catastrophic environmental destruction and countless academics and professors dead, and even then the American liberal doesn’t care. At this point, the only thing left is feeling schadenfreude for them, they will never learn and would support a thousand bombings of schools and millions of dead Iranians had it benefitted them. qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

        that’s giving them too much credit, the vast majority of Americans see their Empire as a force of good against evil. They always say that America is the policeman of the world, and your average American does not view the police as Leftists do. Killing of brown kids by the US military makes headlines for a week, at most.

    No mention of the girls’ school

    No mention of the water plants that were struck

    No mention of America starting this war

    No mention of the Iranian (ship? Sub?) that was in the middle of a parade that was sunk and its crew left to drown

    These people are absolute demons

    I wasn’t sure that this warranted its own thread but I wanted to post this similar thing I saw on Reddit:

    There’s a few things going on here that are funny, for example:

    1. the idea that Netanyahu’s reign will be ended if enough people are angry at him,
    2. that “the left”’s critique of Netanyahu is that he’s not enough of a warmonger.

      the idea that Netanyahu’s reign will be ended if enough people are angry at him,

      That’s literally the only way liberals can conceive of anything changing at all. We simply all need to be informed enough about it and reality will spontaneously rearrange itself with no effort needed.

        I have said almost exactly this about climate change when trying to explain to liberals that they actually don’t care about it at all. It is seriously like they think they can lecture the CO2 molecules enough that they will pack their bags and leave the atmosphere. Every single defense of a liberal politician’s (complete lack of) climate plan is “well, they said it was a threat!” Okay? I don’t need to be told that, but thanks.

          Liberals, like their reactionary counterparts, only focus on aesthetics, not any actual change. I keep trying to explain to a few of them how conservatives say the wrong things on purpose. It’s both to flex their muscle (“I have so much power I can lie with zero consequences”) and because they know it makes liberals upset. But then I get deer in headlights followed by:

          “OMG Trump such a lying hypocrite! How many abortions do you think he’s paid for?”

          “How can people believe there’s microchips in vaccines?”

          “My gay family member is a Trump supporter and I told him Trump hates gay people and he said it’s not true and changed the subject!”

          …and so on. I then try explaining it again about in-groups, out-groups, and never believe they are unaware of the absurdity of their claims. You have to ignore what they say and push policy past them. Your goals as liberals should be to eradicate conservatives because they sure as shit are trying to do the same.

          “But that would be authoritarian! We aren’t Russians!” they cry. And nothing continues to happen, because they think the only solution is to vote harder in the next election.

              Depends on the lib. There are a lot of libs whose sole motivation is hatred of Republicans. Not underlying belief. Just dont do what republicans want

      I assume they’re talking about domestic Israeli politics, where the so-called left wing parties absolutely are hammering Netanyahu for letting the MoU happen

    i assume “give” is a misunderstanding as well? they make it sound like the treasury is writing them a check when the money is “unfreezing” assets and starting up transit fee system for tankers or did i miss something?

    the “let” in OP is the same mindset that excuses the holding hostage of foreign property.

    I for one am not tired of all this winning yet.

    (My bet for their next step is a ground invasion of Cuba, essentially giving Cuba the one tactical situation where it can come out a winner, namely a grinding Guerilla war.)
