    I couldn’t watch that press conference the hospital gave where they surrounded the podium with murdered babies, but if anyone watched it can you confirm or deny that the babies denounced Hamas?

      I watched it. [REDACTED]

      I have come to the conclusion that [REDACTED] is the only solution.

      All Zionists deserve to be tried before an international tribunal.

      All Palestinians deserve a period of 48 hours where they are allowed, under the same impunity and military cover that facilitated their genocide to be given the same privilege to their oppressors.

      “But Nakoichi!” you might say, “an eye for an eye is not the way!” And to that I say, “Why do you assume they will take your eyes? Is it because that is what you would do if afforded the same freedom?”

      seriously “western culture” is so full of propaganda that it would take some serious steps to turn people there normal. everyone is taught history began with the ancient greeks and then rennaisance explorers brought civilization to the world. everyone can learn english, the most western language, and expect to talk to people in asia or africa. every westerner almost exclusively consumes media made in the west, in english, with westerners (or fantasy versions thereof) as main characters and non-westerners are either spicy additive characters or “the others”.

      people from some bullshit country in europe (raised on history nostalgia jerking) or some state in the US (raised on US exceptionalism), can’t comprehend that they’re not the main characters in world events. most of the world resides outside “the international community” and very soon most of the world’s power and economy will as well. anglos and euros are going to become very angry and confused once they can’t even pretend they’re the center of the world.

    When Hamas or Russia or China do a bad thing, it’s the fault of every Palestinian or Russian or Chinese.

    When America or the EU do a bad thing, it’s never the fault of individual Westoids because “I didn’t vote for them, I was against it, AT LEAST WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT!!!”

      It never has been. We may joke about it, but as someone who has been called a terrorist before (protesting the second invasion of Iraq) it has never gone away.

    Why won’t the 5 years old Japanese peasant kid tell the Emperor to stop WW2? It’s their fault so we dropped two nukes on them.

    These people are both extremely hateful and very stupid. Just a devastating combination. They are the useful idiot moron fucks for the conservative ruling class and their reward for being good little piggies will be to get gutted by the same machine they prop up. If communism fails to re-establish itself that will have to be the consolation prize. I hope the fall of the USSR (generally speaking) wasn’t more or less the point at which humanity failed at passing one great filter, although day by day I am starting to think it might.
