  • Yesterday Danish television were doing unapologetic war propaganda by running with the "Iranians yearn for freedom and love being bombed" story. The Iranian "priest-regime" (the only government in human history they use that term for) is hated and evil and brutal and you get the picture. Meanwhile, ordinary Iranians hope for regime change. That last claim was illustrated by interviewing Iranian émigrés and by reporting from a pro-regime change protest in a provincial city where 30 people was holding up monarchist Iranian flags as well as a big-ass banner with portraits of the ex-Shah and his failson Reza Pahlavi.

    It is such an obvious propaganda operation. All the big media and the political elite are all telling the same story, the story that just so happens to align perfectly with the stories Washington are telling. And it works. There are no mentions of anti-war sentiment in this wretched hermit kingdom. Even people who are normally left-wing enough that they ought to know better, peoywho were horrified by what they did in Gaza, are completely on board with the war.

  • MAGA - Make America Grieve Again

  • I heard on Danish television that "major international media" (all of them western) are reporting that Khamenei is dead

  • Danish leader Mette Frederiksen is on TV calling for deescalation but also spending a lot of time calling the Iranian government "one of the world's most brutal regimes", claiming that Iranians yearn for regime change and reiterating her regime's support for regime change in Iran.

    May God punish Denmark.

  • Come on... This can't be true. The yanks must have known that Iran would strike back.

    It would be very funny and I hope that it is true. I just don't think it.

  • Nobody likes the idea of a yank takeover, the best of the Danes oppose it because they think Greenlanders decide their own future, the worst of the Danes oppose it out of hurt imperialist pride. Lots of people oppose it for a blend of the two reasons.

    Most people support the government's line of saying no to the yanks while simultaneously showing that they are good obedient little NATO vassals. Nobody who has any political relevance can even comprehend a security arrangement outside of NATO, even when the NATO overlord are threatening us, all we can think of is turning to NATO help.

    While anti-Greenlandic racism is very common, most people begrudgingly accept the idea that Greenland is probably going to become independent at some point in the future although lots of people are vehemently opposed to providing any assistance to Greenland post-independence or towards making independence a socially and economically viable option to Greenlanders.

    When you move towards the right you find a vocal minority who thinks we should simply cut Greenland off if they continue to talk about independence and being ungrateful. "Let them be independent!" they say and talk about how the yanks will invade them within a week "that'll teach them!".

  • Apparently Trump had posted video where he claims the purpose of the ongoing attacks is to destroy Iran's missile industry and navy. He also prepares the Burger Reich public that there might be American losses in the war.

  • Danish media are reporting that the US is attacking Iran

  • Wasn't that pretty much what the Bush regime tried to do?

  • A large dog language model ate my homework!

  • Parenti quote

  • Back in the day, there would be a long counter in shops with a clerk in a brown apron behind it. You had to ask him for the goods you wanted. This made shoplifting very hard. If they are pissing themselves over a stolen candy bar they would have to go back to this model.

    But there is a reason they stopped doing it that way. Self-service shops might experience more loss but the saved labour costs and increased sales makes up for that many times over.

    These wankers want to have their cake and eat it to. They want all the earnings from self-service with none of the downsides.

  • I once saw a local all-girl punk band named "Mom". If they were any good I don't remember it (they were very local) but I was drunk so who can tell.

  • Amnesty International is a (mostly) western organisation, staffed mostly by westerners. It receives funding from the British and American states as well as for American regime-aligbed foundations. It has been criticised many times for pro-western selection bias.

    I would take what they say about the DPRK with a grain of salt.

  • Say what you want about the Sino-Soviet split but it least it involved two independent and politically viable powers who were able and willing to actually split.

    This is not the situation with Europe and the US. European elites have made themselves completely different on America in everything from defense and financial infrastructure to pharmaceuticals and communication services. This is not a split, this is butthuet satraps bickering while being unable and unwilling to risk actually defying the empire.

  • I hope he's right. I hope Iran is able to defend itself and it's people and cause real damage to the burger Reich.

    I am sick and tired of the only way to defeat America involving being able to endure unfathomable hardship until the yanks give up and go home, I want the yanks to be afraid, humiliated and to suffer for a change.

  • Parenti was clearly the more honest and consistent of the two.

    Chomsky can be credited with moving a lot of people, including myself, down the leftist pipeline. But we do deserve better. We deserve more Parentis, not more Chomskys.

  • We have, unambiguously, the most pro-trans major/recently-ruling political party in the world. The Democrats are literally as good as it gets, in terms of major-party support, anywhere on earth for us. Everyone will get mad at me for saying it, but it’s a fact.

    The Communist Party of Cuba literally exists and have passed the world's most progressive family law code.

    Besides Cuba, many places around the world, from Sweden to Iran, has trans healthcare as part of their universal healthcare systems. The US democrats are vehemently opposed to even the idea of universal healthcare, let alone transgender care.

    Americans doesn't know shit about anything that happens in the rest of the world.

  • To his credit, he could also be a con man
