He has strayed far from God and unlikely to return

Probably tempting to cut off your sister and him, but I’d offer another path that will make him much more miserable. If they have or end up having kids… slowly radicalize them. You can probably start young but gotta be careful because kids will just say shit to their parents. But once they’re in high school there’s a lot of opportunity to just expose them to all sorts of shit that their dad will hate them learning. Probably the easiest thing to do though is be active in politics, belonging to organizations that do things beyond like reading clubs (which are good too), and have your future niece/nephew maybe go along, see stuff, be the cool counter to their asshole dad, and yeah.

Not much else to be done besides… well, I shouldn’t say that. Anyway. Oh, by the way!..

Scientists + people who would like a not-shit planet: “we gotta move on from oil and coal.”

USA: “uh yeah sure. We’re working on that, even though it’s fake and also… too hard. Hmm. Maybe we just won’t.”

China: “hey we’ve increased capacity to produce solar panels and they’re so good now that a lot of energy needs could easily be met…”

Oil: “woah woah woah. Fake. Fake fake. Cloudy day?”

Biden: " immediately clears throat into mic uh. Today. T-today. I told. President Xi. I told. Look, China has solar and. We need solar. But we need oil! Well, anyway. I told him, I said. The batteries on these electric cars. They use resources and China is, well, I shouldn’t say. Anyway. Tariffs, folks! By the way!.."

I guess it was slightly ambiguous, but I meant it to include all Americans as having reactionary tendencies, yes even on here. Yes including me.

Where can I find US-Americans, where this cliché from the Soviet Union about them, don’t apply so easily? Or am I dumb and don’t see them, because the annoying ones are _so_ annoying that it is easy to notice them?

You won’t. On lemmygrad/hexbear and adjacent related places, sure, but we “self-hating” Americans are effectively zero percent of the population. It’s safe enough to assume most Americans you encounter online will have some reactionary opinions, incredibly insane ones really, if you probe far enough.

Some of the stuff you listed, like the sick obsession with “discovering pedophiles” is generally the far right, essentially Nazis or equivalent and mostly projection by them. I’m not going to pretend pedophilia isn’t a problem in any society because it definitely is and has been throughout history, but as you alluded to the right wingers use it as a tool to simply smear those groups of people they don’t like. They call anyone who disagrees with their insane fascist policies a pedophile. They call LGBTQ people pedophiles. Someone just being gay is inherently pedophilic to them. A 35 year old guy marrying a 16 year old girl… well, that’s fine and actively encouraged by many of these types. But two gay 30 year old men have consensual sex… well that’s pedophilia. It’s “grooming” children to be gay like them one day. Why? How? Because these gay and trans people exist and that is somehow a “corrupting” force upon children. No one really explains the gap there how someone born straight suddenly has a desire to be gay because they saw two guys holding hands. But this is the current far right wing obsession in the US for sure. Everything is grooming, everyone is a pedo except the actual pedos, no they don’t count… because they’re right wingers and they want to support them.

A lot of the other stuff applies across the board though. The US has an insanely backwards view of crime, punishment, rehabilitation. Race is nearly comically engrained into society. It would be comical anyway if it didn’t determine life or death so often…

I will say on racism though that Europeans, east and west, sure have their own special flavors of it. I mean, the entire Balkans, lol. Call a Serb an Albanian and see how they respond. It’s ethnic division and such, so it’s different, but also much the same. Brits, French, and Germans are currently all working together to figure out the most efficient way to explode boats of refugees fleeing to the EU. They’re all extremely reactionary towards Arabs/Muslims in a way that Americans are towards Mexicans and South Americans.

I think a lot of times Western Europeans especially like to project onto Americans and act like they’re better when in reality our countries are nearly identical except they have better social services. That’s about it. The populations act similarly, not the same, but similarly. It would literally make me burst into laughter if a Brit or French person said Americans are racist implying their countries are not. I mean seriously they have parties, just like the US, built solely around how best to shoot migrants. So I really do not respect criticism like that from Western European people, although I’ve only had much experience dealing with Brits who are probably some of the most reactionary (maybe Germans are worse, hard to say).

But anyway, overall, many of your points are valid for large portions of the population and if you expect to find people who aren’t like that, you can, but it’s like digging for… I dunno, a diamond in a mountain of shit or something. Extremely rare. Basically non-existent.

This dumbass is just dragging his own “reputation” at this point. Or, his wife/family/aids desperately clinging to power are anyway. (Talking about rep amongst the genocidal freaks who love him, not people who seem him for what he is)

He’s gonna lose badly and the dems won’t even have a unified message of “those goddamn socialists did this! Over Gaza! Waaaah!” anymore. It’s pretty clear that tons of fully Zionist, racist as hell MFers, are demanding him he fuck off. Of course you’ll still see the terminally ill, online Reddit types blaming “tankies” but they are irrelevant. Amongst the actual narrative-writers and such they have daggers out for Biden and the easiest thing to do is, well, blame HIM if he somehow squeezes the nomination and then (of course) loses. I never want to underestimate the rat-like qualities of democrats though, so, it is still possible they lose and then all rotate to blaming the left again. When in doubt, blame that group who’s always correct and constantly making you feel bad- classic liberal mantra.

If the libs really wanted to “own the left” they would swap in whoever, Kamala is easiest, and then if she loses then they can to full bore ass-ripping mode blaming the left for everything bad for the next four years and more. Of course it’s actually their fault for enabling/not rolling back, etc., but it’s an easier narrative to sell at this point than Biden, the rotting corpse, losing and blaming that on anyone other than the people propping up the corpse. Also we’ve been telling these dipshit motherfuckers to ditch Biden since… well, not counting before he got elected in 2020, since last year when the primaries started there’s been a constant drum of “kick the dead guy out. He’s exceptionally racist and sucks ass even by democratic party standards!”

If cops instantly swapped from cop to communist I see a glorious picture in my mind where they burst into tears, pull out their service weapons, shoot all their nearby fellow cops and once they’re alone they shove the barrel in their own mouth

“Shadow cabinet”

Why must the UK constantly validate all the mockery it receives

Minority or non-governing or opposition, etc. all available. “Oi m8, les callit… ‘shadow.’” excited British noises

I’m just envisioning Trump coming over to Biden’s makeup/prep room, whatever they get, before the debate to say good luck in private and just let him know it’s nothing personal between them. While they’re chatting Biden is getting layers upon layers of makeup caked on and Trump is just nervously inching closer and closer to Joe’s water bottle with a tiny bottle of visine eye drops. Just enough to fuck him up and counteract the speedball.

This was a full dose of lib-virus

Glad I got my anti-lib vaccine, although I did feel a tinge of something before the burnt toast smell became overwhelming, my vision went red, and I just heard “red sun in the sky” in my head

So manning got sentenced to 35 years under Obama (pardoned after 7 served also by Obama… thanks Obama…)

Assange was effectively imprisoned all this time and his official sentence is apparently going to be 5 years counting time served already so the feds get a “W” and now he can leave London finally

I wonder how much time the people on video murdering Reuters reporters got… oh, zero. The only real response from Obama’s DoD was “🤷 looks legal, bub 🤷 what can we do? 🤷” The same shit they’ve always said. Same shit they run now to cover for Israeli war crimes. They literally justified the killing of the reporters by saying they were embedded with militants… simply because the “militants” had AKs. People in a non-US country had weapons, reporters were there for whatever reason, US kills all of them, and post-death just calls them all terrorists. Reuters took it too. They ate shit and never openly called out the DoD.

Guess it’s just important to remember with all the recent insanity from Israel and US protecting the IOF, this is really just the same shit they always do

Dogshit country where no good deed ever goes unpunished

Seems like shit!

I like what the ublock origin creators/devs have to say about ads/adblocking

It is important to note that using a blocker is NOT theft. Do not fall for this creepy idea. The ultimate logical consequence of blocking = theft is the criminalization of the inalienable right to privacy.

Ads, “unintrusive” or not, are just the visible portion of the privacy-invading means entering your browser when you visit most sites. uBO’s primary goal is to help users neutralize these privacy-invading methodsin a way that welcomes those users who do not wish to use more technical means.

People who parrot the “right to exist” line are usually either so far gone down the propaganda pipeline that you alone will not be moving them on the issue or, worse, they’re a full blown ideologically driven Zionist cynically trying to equate their fascist pet project with the existence of humans inside and outside of Israel.

And honestly before Oct last year I think a lot of westerners, especially Americans, could plausibly fall under the former. Maybe they saw pictures or heard a news story from Israel’s various criminal murder campaigns, looked into it just a tiny bit, and immediately got smacked with the “wow! Seems like you don’t think Israel has a right to defend itself or exist!” And a lot of well meaning liberals will throw their hands up and go “no no no I’m sorry! I didn’t know!” and never talk about it again due to the way Zionism has fairly successfully tied Israel to Jews as a people (which is antisemitic as fuck) and so Israel is regarded as “not your business” if you aren’t Jewish. Your acceptable choices are ignoring/avoiding it or being pro-Israel… nothing else.

But since October, where there was very little excuse before, there is NO excuse now to claim ignorance. As much as I try to attribute people’s actions to ignorance rather than bad intent, I can’t do so anymore on this issue. I simply refuse to accept anyone who can parrot the right to exist BS doesn’t know exactly what Israel has been doing for 75 years and especially the last 20 or so and especially especially the last 9 months. We all see the videos/pics, everyone who didn’t know before knows now at least a general REAL history of how Israel came to be, so if they’re falling back on right to exist it’s for a specific reason. They’re trying to do what the intent of that phrase is which is to sort of humanize the state of Israel, to make it a person basically, and that “person” represents all Jews in the world. If you wish to see that state dismantled then you’re explicitly saying you want Jews to not exist. Obviously this is all antisemitic (the biggest irony in all this) as fuck and basically just early 1900s nationalistic insanity that, yes, you’d be hearing from Nazis or perhaps the fucking KKK.

So, no matter what you say or do, you aren’t pushing those people who are fully committed to equating a nation state with a group of people. To them you might as well just be saying “Jews don’t have a right to exist.” They’re so far down in their racist dark places that many of them probably do believe this to a large extent, or they’re just totally cynical right wing pieces of shit who revel in being able to murder people AND being able to silence you with false claims of antisemitism. Either way, like I said, you won’t be moving them.

The only thing that can probably move them is making it fully untenable to be a Zionist. It needs to have the same stigma as openly calling yourself a Nazi or openly supporting Rhodesia. It used to be very popular to support Rhodesia amongst far right wing types. Ask people under 30 or maybe even 35 what Rhodesia was now days and you’ll get a lot of “huh? Never heard of it” responses. Just gotta keep pushing to cut off aid to Israel, keep pressuring private industry/unis to divest, and finally to enact sanctions and remove all political protections at the UN. Once Zionists are totally isolated from the world it’ll all crumble and you’ll never hear another dumbass say that right to exist line.

That’s where I’m at with that stupid phrase. Don’t debate them, just force them to stfu. It will take a lot more time and effort, but they’re losing, they know they’re losing, and I dunno. Fuck their dumb little racist slogans in the end.

Interesting story!

Line of “legally a different discussion” 👆

Threatening the world with nuclear annihilation because your shitty failed economic system is falling apart is threatening billions of people. No one person or government has this right.

Unrelated quote: “Shinzo Abe WAS a Japanese politician and statesman…”

Emphasis mine

Very weird to celebrate

I’m no fan of current Iranian governance, or even Hamas. I understand why they exist, but I wouldn’t choose to live under their governments. That doesn’t mean I want their leaders dying since I can see their importance to resisting US imperialism.

I would say this is like disagreeing with how China has developed since their revolution. Am I a huge fan of all of it? Of course not. That doesn’t mean I would celebrate Xi dying or China dissolving it’s communist party. Not to compare them to Iran too much, obviously very different things, but western “leftists” (they’re liberals really most of the time) see them as “bad guys” with zero nuance or perspective. Important perspective such as no matter how authoritarian Iran is or brutal to its citizens (and i have no doubt that many stories have core truths to them. The stories we read about life there) will ever compare to the brutality the US empire has unleashed on places like Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq, Iran (hmm), entirety of South America, Mexico, etc. basically the entire globe. So, are they bad in some ways? Undoubtedly. But the bigger bad, that they resist, is the US military and empire. And this can’t be forgotten. You don’t have to praise Iran’s government in order to see that it is the lesser evil compared to the US and also it only exists because of the US and now Israeli interference in the region.

Jackson Hinkledink is not on “the left.” He’s the only dipshit along with just open white nationalists, fascists, Nazis etc. like Tucker who “support” Putin

Supporting immediate ceasefire and peace, even if it means redrawing lines on a map, is not “supporting” Putin no matter how many times the warmonger neolibs at MSNBC and CNN scream about it.

If your interests align with the military industrial complex, Fox News, CNN, and the status quo politicians who are all center right wing, you should either accept what you are (the fact you seem hostile to leftists/communists is a GIANT red flag on that front. Anti-communism is just Nazism) or, I dunno, analyze your thoughts and figure out why you think endless death and destruction is necessary to prevent lines from changing. Who told you those lines were important and why do they/you believe that?

If you want to use this tired and boring trope then at least set it up properly

One track is full of millions of people and the other is full of the same.

One track is painted with happy colors and rainbows and one track is painted with skulls and imperial eagles

You’re getting the exact same death and destruction no matter what, but one track is less openly an asshole about it.

If you saw what Biden and his cronies just did to college students for opposing 7 months of ongoing US-funded genocide in the last month or so and still somehow think he’s a lesser evil… I don’t think you understand words. Or you just don’t care. If you don’t value the lives of Palestinians, Yemenis, Iranians, Russians, Ukrainians, whoever, just say it, let everyone know you’re a POS, and move on. Stop coping. Accept what you support and stop hiding behind false thought experiments and shit

Stop yelling at those seeking to better things and yell at the people who told you to hate those who seek better things.

To your last point, I don’t think Biden believes in shit

But assuming he or other Zionists, specifically ones with power right now, do I have mentally wondered about the Pope excommunicating Biden and whatever else a Pope can do to a catholic to punish them for egregious sins and whatnot. Unfortunately the, uh, history between Catholics and Jews although mostly irrelevant within the context of a possible excommunication… would nevertheless be weaponized to unlimited ends by the biggest pieces of shit ever shat on this planet. People like Greenblat or Tom “yes, I am proud KKK member, fuck you” Cotton. You’d have dipshits like Cotton up in the senate reading details about the Spanish Inquisition and how the Pope is literally ripping Bibi’s intestines out through his ass by condemning Biden. I guess they’d have to walk a comical line of not defending Biden too much, but shitting on the Woke Pope using historic antisemitism would be too juicy of a grub to pass up for these demons.

Still kinda hope it happens on the slight off chance that an old man really does fear god and being told by the guy he syas he believes speaks for god that he’s done horrific sins… I dunno. It’s not like people like Cotton aren’t already trying to pass laws to basically just make it legal for anyone to roll up to a person with a sign and shoot them in the head. He’s gonna do the most evil shit possible until he’s stopped. That should release everyone else to do everything to stop him… except people like Biden kinda agree with him, just turn the dial down a little on the literally shooting protestors part. He just wants to imprison them/make them homeless.

Biden upcoming speech:

“I’m a Zionist! I believe in a Jewish State, and I believe it must be Israel! Some Jews disagree with that. I say to them: If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t Jewish!”

If he did actually say that verbatim people like Greenblat at the apartheid defense league would applaud him.

Something which never sinks in with liberals (because it might bust their brains, I dunno) is “terrorist” just means “doesn’t align with state interests.” I would also add “and usually non-state actors” but Bibi has been calling Iran a “terror state” so I guess we’re scrapping the state actor part and just going with “they do things opposed to us dominating everything- that’s terrorism!” 2003 all over again.

I have noticed libs jumping over “unpatriotic” as was the claim in 2003ish towards anti war protesters and landing directly on calling them pro-Hamas and pro-terrorist which is just a zero-mask call for state violence on protestors (and they got their wish). I don’t think the more soft-hearted, mostly “well-meaning” liberals have let it sink in yet that if you call someone terrorist you aren’t only being hyperbolic and stupid, you are saying “this person is an enemy of the state and appropriate force must be used to eliminate them… immediately.” That’s just what it means, I’m sorry. They are quite literally saying “kill this guy!” Why? “For being an anti-genocide terrorist!”

DM me that shit
