  • The Gulag History Museum will be replaced by a museum dedicated to the victims of the genocide of the Soviet people in hands of the Nazis

  • May have been part of internal deportations around WWII, and they're being loose with the subject matter. Or maybe they're from children who in fact committed violent crimes.

  • Climber convicted of manslaughter after leaving girlfriend on Austria’s highest peak to seek help

    Jump

  • There are plenty of murderers who aren't Sirhan Sirhan. Plenty have "rational" motives and don't want to get caught.

    All I'm saying is that if you really want to kill someone on a mountain, the simplest way is to push them off a high ledge. You don't have to be a criminal mastermind to concoct that plan.

    It's much more convoluted to pick a partner who can't finish the climb, convince them to go anyway, call SAR during your murder attempt, call them off, leave and hope your partner dies, then hope you don't get prosecuted. If that was the plan, it already had failed this guy once.

  • "Imprisoned" does not imply children were forced to do hard labor, and children have been forced to do hard labor in all sorts of contexts, so the concept isn't outlandish. It does seem very likely that there's some important context missing.

  • Many murders are premeditated. If the theory is that he's taking women up on a mountain to kill them, we're already talking about premeditation.

  • Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president

    Jump

  • The Supreme Court is currently controlled by a bunch of Federalist Society freaks. It's the culmination of a decades-long conservative project to rig the federal judiciary in their favor. As with many pre-Trump conservatives, there's a lot of overlap in goals, but also some significant points of disagreement.

    It's also an institution that takes a much longer view than Trump. There is at least some desire to maintain the legitimacy of the courts.

  • If you want to murder someone on a mountain, you just push them off somewhere high.

    Sounds more like he was very willing to leave his climbing partners to die, and/or was dangerously irresponsible about how he prepared for climbs and how he had his partners prepare.

  • What happened to the big beautiful bbw air strike on the nuclear that stopped them "dead in their tracks"?

    Jump

  • "We will massively retaliate" is one of the better deterrent postures, provided you can credibly claim that. But it might not be the best response if you're actually attacked, because of all the horrific things a full-scale war would entail.

    Iran had a front-row seat to the invasion of Iraq and a bunch of their leadership has personal memories of the Iran-Iraq war. They are probably trying to avoid a full-scale war if at all possible, and that's probably what's best for the Iranian people.

  • Jewish voice for peace doing lib shenanigans

    Jump

  • I'm not saying this is the best possible strategy. I don't think any really great strategy can be financed on only several million dollars. I'm saying if the plan is to essentially reverse AIPAC, there's at least a logic to that, even if it would need to be scaled up to have a major effect (a criticism of every existing effort).

  • Jewish voice for peace doing lib shenanigans

    Jump

  • From later in that thread:

    You cannot endorse candidates on a platform of dismantling zionism. The logic of elections in the US demands moderation, access-seeking, and compromise to zionism (see Mamdami). This is the opposite of liberation. /8

    There are certainly imperialist reasons for U.S. politicians to be Zionist, but a lot of them are Zionist due to legalized bribery campaign donations from AIPAC and related groups as well. It's a contradiction to recognize the importance of that financial cudgel, then turn around and say there's no way we can use legalized bribery campaign donations to support candidates who oppose genocide.

    If the plan is to support genuinely anti-genocide electeds, I don't think that's a bad strategy. If the plan is to throw money at anyone who occasionally "expresses concern" or something, then yeah, this sucks.

  • Donald Trump is now unpopular with the majority of white americans

    Jump

  • A big looming question is what happens when Trump is no longer in office. Republicans who want to get re-elected when he's gone care about approval ratings, especially if the negative polling includes parts of their base.

    Most of these guys were anti-Trump at some point. I don't think they all believe he'll seize indefinite power somehow and they'll all be forever insulated from elections.

  • Donald Trump is now unpopular with the majority of white americans

    Jump

  • This strikes me as asking "can it really get worse?", and the answer is yes.

  • Donald Trump is now unpopular with the majority of white americans

    Jump

  • They've turned up the dial on how much state violence is reaching white people, and the dividends of simply being white keep diminishing.

  • Mamdani will bring back homeless encampment sweeps after vowing to end practice

    Jump

  • Those calls intensified after at least 19 people died outdoors during a recent stretch of cold weather

    This could have easily been the largest factor here. Apparently this winter in the northeast has been one of the colder, longer winters in a couple of decades. I suppose we'll see if this policy changes again when the weather improves.

  • What "conspiracy theories" do you believe in?

  • I never would have guessed a pedophilic mossad agent was cultivating that attitude among those fucking creeps with philanthropic contributions and sex trafficking.

    Haven't followed this part of the Epstein story. Can you elaborate?

  • The kids at my school all walked out to protest ICE! I've never seen 1000 12y/o's so well coordinated, it was unbelievable!

  • what do yall think about this? what's clinton's game?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think he's basically playing chicken with them.

  • PSL hurts our movement

    Jump

  • It also begs the question of how seriously you're taking your own message: you're really putting "genocide denialism" in the same style you would use to remind kids that veggies are fun?
