Interesting! I bet I'd recognize some of those names. And I also would bet that saying them 'out loud' here would result in a ban for 'harassment'.

Yeah, I only use active and new; for the same reason. Idk if there's anything anyone here can do about it. There's zero transparency, or less; so most people don't even know there's a problem.

I am comparing two things which cost the same. In a discussion about pricing. If your point was that it's crazy that 11 days of rent costs the same as a mid-range laptop, I completely agree. That's where we're at though.

Yeah, that one right there. It takes a truly abnormal degree of intelligence/deviousness to manipulate global narratives. That doesn't mean you have the basic bare minimum intelligence/decency to at least try and leave th

It's not genius at all. We all know that both the US and Israel are responsible for spending trillions of taxpayer's dollars on illegal wars of aggression and genocide. We weren't fooled by W, we weren't fooled by Obam

Not really, no. More like precisely the plot of a Black Mirror Episode, and some rather plausible rumours about David Cameron. Have you not seen them?

Was arming genocide in Gaza sane? Even if you have no moral red line whatsoever, that decision was still certain to lose millions of votes in swing states... Because millions of voters do have morality, even in America. America's pro

Even some of the most "left" Dems, like Elizabeth Warren, were giving Trump an emphatic standing ovation as he talked about Iran in the SotU [0]. That was literally days after Warren posted on social media about "not sendin

Because polls before and after the election were crystal clear on this point. Over 30% of Biden 2020 voters said arming genocide was going to affect their vote. That's BIDEN VOTERS. 80% of Democrats wanted an arms embargo. Arming Israe

There's at least 14TB of unpublished files left. A little under half of the 6 million documents. And that's only the ones the FBI didn't "somehow" fail to collect.

Seriously. They can put a Burger King anywhere on the planet in 24 hours, but can't do their own pizza at the Pentagon?

Literally this week, for the first time ever, a majority of Americans polled favored Palestine over Israel. To be clear, I'm not trying to suggest that's why we're bombing Iran today. Just pointing out a data point supporting

Yes. Poor Iran. Because America and Israel.

And as an aside to this: even the people coopting the rebel iconography are supporting genocide, atrocities and war crimes. Like, Mark Hamill himself is a massive Israel + Biden supporter [0]. Guys, George Lucas didn't make the Empire

You're not entirely wrong, but maybe you could consider supporting people who move in the right direction rather than rolling your eyes at them.

And the cohort most likely to vote well when they do. The 18 year olds who vote less but vote for good parties are doing good, overall. The 60 year olds voting Tory their whole lives - not so much. It's very easy to blame the young for

Maybe Dems only don't have power because they don't want too much of it. It fucks with the plausible deniability. Like, they could easily have taken down Trump, either over Jan 6th or the Epstein files. They didn't. They
