Shocking that young people think justice should apply for everyone and they don’t trust a government that says “just trust us we’re the good guys”. Old democrats are assholes that deserve to lose elections, they just aren’t fascists. If Biden fucks up and gets protest voters or whatever, he loses the extra support needed to get him over the line. He’d deserve it, but it’s also frightening.

I don’t think most people realize that members of congress can’t be recalled.

He is what passes for a liberal in the US. Obama, either Clinton, nearly any other democrat would do exactly the same thing he is doing (which is unfortunately the same thing Trump would be doing). Strong echoes of the Iraq war.

Regarding the final piece, the global south already knows US integrity is a joke. At least the leadership is giving younger citizens a more accurate view of what US foreign policy actually looks like, conveniently under a “liberal” president.

It’ll sound something like “Blast rocks Gaza scattering radioactive debris for miles. Biden says ‘That wasn’t good, guys’ as US deploys an additional carrier to the region. And now, sports.”

The Wix internal chat encouraging creation of propaganda summed it up very well: “show Westernity… unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans.”

They are a strong extension of western power in an area that is traditionally not all that friendly, as Joe Biden will tell anyone, “if Israel didn’t exist we would have to make an Israel.”

The US talks about moral superiority pretty often but has a long history of supporting friendly despots, we hear all about the murderers who took over Cuba and little about the US ally and mass murderer Bautista, or Pinochet, or Saddam Hussein. They would overthrow Jesus Christ and Ghandi if US interests were threatened. As long as they remain friendly to the US they can do just about anything with US carriers to protect them.

This is not new, but for the most part it is only professionally dangerous. The west are the good guys, so saying they are doing something not good breaks people’s brains. It is only in hindsight a decade later that they’ll maybe admit something was a mistake or should have been handled differently, more likely they just won’t think about it or even know. That’s how the US can maintain smug moral superiority while supporting Pinochet or Saddam Hussein, or call Hussein’s use of white phosphorus a crime and then deploy it in Fallujah (or Gaza).

They’ve done it to the extreme in this case. If you are against the actions of the state of Israel you support the deaths of Jews so you’re an antisemite. The Jews who are also against the actions of Israel are self-hating Jews that resemble capos. It’s unfortunate because they are watering down the meaning of that term, and plenty of people lack nuance to see the difference between the state of Israel and Jewish people so it will bolster actual antisemitism. The powerful need an enemy, so that isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you’re them.

The US will watch because it is the kind of things they would do, even is they don’t specifically like it when someone else does. This is far from the worst regime they’ve supported in the name of US interests. Since the US supports them, nobody else will do anything.

Yeah that’s mentioned in there too. Like a dealer who has people die will end up with more customers as they perceive that as a sign of good product.

There is a ton of info over two episodes, like they even visit one of the Chinese laboratories under the guise of being a potential customer, really worth going through the whole thing.

On the specific topic, it’s cheap and differentiates the product. Someone who buys it will get a different (better?) high than they can kind anywhere else, and they’re more likely to come back for more. It can also be added to substandard product to make it seem “better”. It’s not a long lasting effect either, so people will want more sooner.

Search Engine’s “Why are drug dealers putting fentanyl in everything?” podcast episodes go pretty far into why it’s happening despite it killing customers. It’s pretty good.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I am talking about this spineless bullshit every time Israel does anything:

President Joe Biden warned against any occupation of Gaza, saying it would be a “big mistake.”

So tired of fucking Biden quotes.
