Has been that way since the mid 80s.

The war against the fairness doctrine was started after the Nixon Watergate scandal and how there was no media apparatus that was 100% on Nixon’s side and calling the other side monkeys and bastards.

I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s when Christian conservatives said that sex Ed was increasing teen pregnancy rates when in reality they had been dropping since sex Ed was introduced. …

I mean he is also always armed. He had the Papal can(n)on on him all the time.

His health, both physical and mental, should have barred him from being able to do much. I am confident that if he wins, he will probably die in office from some illness. A Vance presidency would then happen…

And the Afghans have had music and art since forever, well after their conversion to Islam. The taliban are freaks.

Except historically the arts flourished under Islamic rule. While Islam does have an anti icon streaks it was never enforced save for the depiction of the prophet Mohammad.

What is just so nuts is how much of an outlier and how incredibly new the bullshit the Taliban is doing, yet there are people who insist that all Muslims are copies of them…

Using a nuke is the equivalent of flipping the table when you’re losing, and they’re winning.

That tells me everything I need to know about what kind of knowledge level you have about the matter.

If they got away with all this, they might also believe they can get away with a nuke. If they do they will cite the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings as justifications, saying that the Japanese didn’t surrender to massive firebombing the same way Arabs didn’t surrender to massive bombardment, and thus for both cases nukes are needed.

This is, of course, monstrous and wrong.

They have nukes. During the cold war the nuclear option was the thing that terrified everyone. Israeli right now is a full blown Rogue state that abso-fucking-lutely will go nuclear if the US pulls support. Forget about the communist-capitalist thing, it’s about some crazed colonialist who believe they should have everything or no one has anything.

The nuclear bombing of Japan didn’t need to happen. They were already willing to surrender even before that.

The irony is that the hostages are safer with hamas. The Israelis are confirmed to have killed hundreds of their own citizens as part of rhe Hannibal doctrine on Oct 7th and have killed hostages in bombing raids.

It isn’t that they haven’t learned. It’s that they don’t care. They want to kill. They are what would happen if serial killers and mass murderers become world leaders.

I can’t believe I haven’t turned off recall on my latest computer. I need to harden it already… and make my transition to linux.

I do not believe that they were behind 9/11. Despite what some people say, the CIA and FBI and other agencies were aware something was going down. The fact that 9/11 happened without a hitch from the authorities is a monumental intelligence failure that will never be forgotten by any intelligence agency ever.

Shortly after 9/11 there were claims that Muslims were singing and dancing in the streets to celebrate. But this never happened. Even people in Iran held vigils for the people who died. The footage shown of Arabs celebrating were often of people celebrating sports victories by their preferred football (soccer) or other events.

The only people confirmed to have been dancing to celebrate the 9/11 attacks were… mossad agents. But I believe their disgusting joy can be explained by the fact that the US was now going to do genocide level events on Muslims in retaliation.

I mean Churchill cranked open his favorite (and most expensive) bottle of booze after Pearl Harbor happened and after Hitler idiotically declared war on the US. He wasn’t happy that the US lost a fuckload of people in the attack. He was happy that now the US is forced to join the UK in full force.

The ancient Romans used asbestos?

Edit: damn, it has been used since forever…

I am aware of its incredible fireproofing ability. Also it is one of the few, if only, minerals that can be woven into fabric.

OK, hang the higher ups, make the grunts do the grunt work.

I guess I need to familiarize myself with the loss meme. I have been seeing it around lately.
