  • These people commenting (creating false issues) aren’t even devs. I am more of a developer than any of them considering my GitHub repository actually has some files dozens of people use.

    Anyway, did we finally find a person more annoying than the “stand with Ukraine!” developers?

    I fucking hate hate hate going to a developer’s site or downloading an app, whatever I’m doing, and getting blasted with “Hello I am Miroslav, grandson of Great Miroslav, slayer of Jew. Please, we must nuke Moscow. I am in Canada now, I have few real ties to Ukraine, yet I have made it my entire identity. And so… we must nuke the Orcs of Russia. Please tip for nuke. Thank you.”

    Obviously being hyperbolic there but it’s annoying as hell.


  • Am I weirdo for thinking it’s actually easier to work sort of backward in something like this order. (If you’re trying to convince “typical uneducated, indoctrinated American” that America and its allies have done horrific things, specifically in the last ~80 years, that have caused all of the current strife)

    Start with the Iraq/Afghanistan wars. Everyone (should, rightly) hate W and Cheney, et al. It shouldn’t take much to convince them that these wars were not a response to 9/11. Not really. They were wars of opportunity and used 9/11 as a false reasoning. (Saudi Arabia would’ve been the target if vengeance was actually the goal- specifically unseating the Saud family and bin Laden family from power)

    Then go into 9/11 history. Show them that Osama actually had reasons which he listed. Hey, Palestine was on that list… You don’t (and probably shouldn’t… ) need to “defend” Osama. Just point out that he had reasons and many of them were valid. His religious fundamentalism was a direct result of US and Israeli aggression in his home region.

    If you successfully get someone on board that Osama was a person with thoughts and feelings and reasons for actions. And also that America did horrible mass murder (genocides, many would argue) in Iraq/Afghanistan not as revenge or to fight terror but to enrich PMC owners, oil corporations, etc. and with hopes of outright just selling off rights to minerals and oil to American corporations. Same reason for all imperialist wars. Then you can wrap back around and be like “just like Osama had his reasons, so did/do Hamas. You don’t need to agree with their reasons or methods, but understand that they do have reasons and those reasons are not because of some dumbass made up grudge between religions, it’s because settlers came in the early 1900s up until 1948 when Israel was formally established and did mass murders, land theft, rape, everything bad one can imagine. And it only got worse from there with mass ethnic cleansing for decades all the way up until today.”

    I guess I’m saying it’s probably effective to first delegitimization the US state. Bush makes that easy. Then show the legitimacy of some of the claims of Osama. Thus humanizing Arabs and making them not mindless animals as the media portrays them. And finally hope that they can see how moronic they were being and actually listen to the oppressed and ignore the oppressors. The hardest part is probably getting over stigma because of the holocaust. The fact that Israel weaponizing the fucking Holocaust in such a way is beyond description insane and disgusting. But, they do it constantly, and people fall into the trap (I did for a long time. Probably many people here as well). It’s probably best to just stick to “Even if all this murder is “justified” due to the Holocaust 80+ years ago, the Palestinians had absolutely nothing to do with that. Especially the ones alive today.” And then just stick to what Israel is doing now, ignoring all appeals to “but! Holocaust?”

    Btw, for many people, the sticking point is “Osama had a lot of true points.” The important ones about US imperialism, people won’t accept. They literally do not have a framework in their brains to place the US being an evil empire and Israel being basically a vassal state or whatever. So if you can get them over that hurdle, that the US does evil stuff on purpose for the purposes of being evil (to steal and murder), that’s basically the entire thing there… but good luck… seriously, people’s brains are mush on this stuff. By design of course. Can’t have citizens of the empire becoming suddenly aware that they are the baddies…




  • “Jesus fucking Nazi ass Christ! Kamala! Stooooooooppp”

    “Let me see what the other side is doing…Oh. A queeny man who loves broadway and operas is serenading his hoglets.”

    This is the least fucking consequential election perhaps ever. At least since one of those mid 1800s “we both enjoy slavery and won’t change a thing!” elections. Actually feels like we’re in one of those eras similar to those decades before the US civil war where both sides essentially agree, or won’t agree to change anything anyway, but the other side takes a further right wing stance and just accuses their opponents of being pro-abolish.

    “No, I love genocide more!”

    “Uh, wrong, actually I love genocide the most. All the Jews say so!”

    “Wow! That sounded insanely antisem- Uh, nevermind. All Jews of course support Israel! A nationstate which I love!”

    I just hope we get another cane beating in the senate before I die or this whole thing implodes, whichever comes first. Please God give me a cane beating.




  • Older than 20 years means the range 20 years to death. Which considering there are like 60M people over the age of 65 alone, and heart disease has been the biggest killer of Americans for decades, this isn’t surprising in the least.

    We’ve done nothing to fix the healthcare system or the food system(s). Which both absolutely have to be socialized at least to the degree that everyone can have access to the same care and nutrition. They even quote a doctor who basically says this without saying it. Doctors, etc. can’t say socialize or nationalize else Ted Cruz will have a heart attack on the spot and Fox News won’t shut the fuck up for 4 years straight. (They still should say it though)

    “We need to address worsening trends in heart failure, not only through medical interventions and properly implemented guideline-directed medical therapy, but by tackling the growing challenges in health care regarding access and coverage for appropriate and timely care,” Bozkurt said in a statement.

    Emphasis mine in the quoted portion.

    “I dunno Doc, sounding a bit commie there. What, do you want to just give poor people free medical care, nutritional information, and food so that they know how to avoid unhealthy foods and lifestyles and also can avoid them? Pfft. Sounds kinda commie! Next you’ll be suggesting people deserve the value they create and deserve time to rest instead of working their whole lives! Pfft! Oh wow, how convenient now you say overwork and stress also harm heart health!? Oh wow!”


  • I can only think of a solid like 3 times I’ve watched clips from TYT that weren’t just Ana focused. One was when Hasan said America deserved a specific event. And probably some other stuff.

    Cenk’s reactionary viewpoints are different from what I’ve see. Like he hates homeless people and loves cops. Complains about other shit that right wingers have dragged into “political” discussions (things that shouldn’t be up for debate.).

    I just know Ana has been on a bridge-burning expedition to the far right for years now and while Cenk definitely agrees on some stuff, he doesn’t come off as gung ho “this is my hill. I will die here.” His hill is “homeless people are homeless because they’re morally bad and should be rounded up and… not shot! No, no not that!” Even though that’s clearly something he leans towards but knows he can’t just say it or people will realize how shitty his pro-police, anti-people policy ideas are.

    Maybe he doesn’t touch trans issues (much) because Ana has it nailed down for the show or because he’s uncomfortable, but she certainly doesn’t feel any discomfort. Just keeps blabbing for years too, nonstop, over the perceived grievance of allegedly someone one time calling her a “birthing person” in a medical context. She took that shit personal… for no apparent reason other than stirring up unnecessary shit. Even got Ben Shabibo to make a video about the terminology. Ben “my mommy I mean wife is a doctor” Shapiro ranting about medical terminology… peak irony, peak idiocracy, who knows anymore


  • Honestly everyday that Cenk doesn’t fire her he’s just blasting his own future prospects. But at this point it’s pretty clear that he doesn’t disagree enough or care enough (or agrees with her…).

    TYT would better than letting your conservative dad watch Fox, CNN, etc.

    But just barely.

    That’s basically all it’s ever been. Something closer to “reality” but still definitely in the sphere of western bullshit.

    And I’m just talking about how they discuss issues broadly. Not the editorialized rants that they go on, especially Ana

    The Samson option is a “last ditch effort” thing where if the Israeli military thinks defeat is imminent and inevitable they’ll basically commit mass murder/suicide. And part of it was (allegedly) aiming nukes at Europe. If they’re willing to hit Europe, there’s no barriers left. And if Israel does launch a nuke, there’s a significantly real chance that Israel itself will be totally leveled by… who knows at that point.

    Not to mention China, Russia… the entire world… is gonna be “wtfing” to the highest degree possible. Like if there’s fucking ICBMs flying, well, this is literally the plot of a ton of end of the world books/movies for a reason. Shit happens, “accidents” happen, and it’s part of why every country on earth (minus the nukes on Japan when only the US had them, ICBMs hadn’t become a thing, and the whole Mutually Assured Destruction concept hadn’t come around yet) has been very “No nukes! Not for any purpose!” all throughout until today. Like everyone understands it’s doomsday shit. Not to do that thing people do where everything is the end of the world, but nukes launching basically in any context deserves the realistic acknowledgment.

    And of course this is all framed from a self-preservation standpoint because I want to emphasize how out of touch, insane, frankly stupid and evil the top leaders are in Israel and US (EU too- don’t hear them condemning all this shit).

    My point is Bibi won’t be needing more weapons at the point he chooses to launch nukes. It means he already lost, he’s just throwing wildly, knowing he is surely doomed and probably his entire nation and he would be trying to take us all with him. Or at least Iran.

    I believe that’s what Hersh outlined a long time ago.

    When he wrote that shit and pretty much up until about 10 months I would’ve said “Ok, bro. Calm down.”

    The last ~35 years of pure Zionist brainrot have resulted in a situation where I’m like "Yeah… I sure hope the dumbasses in NATO and USSTRATCOM already knew about or took seriously his claims and have a “reverse” Samson option ready to trigger… well, right about now to be honest.

    Of course the actual reversal would have some sort of forced denuclearization of Israel right around the time Ukraine was denuclearized. I’m kind of a believer in “If anyone has nukes, everyone should have nukes” with a caveat of “but ideally no one should have nukes.” The US, Russia, EU nations, UK, China, DPRK, etc. are obviously all never willingly self-denuclearizing, so, back to step 1.

    Anyway, if the US military has any juice left in the lemon of “intelligence” unsqueezed, it will already be preparing preliminary strikes inside Israel to fully destroy their nuclear capabilities. If there’s any country on earth that can pull that off it’s basically the US due to full collaboration between the state departments and militaries. China and some EU combined forces might be able to do so purely militarily, but I’d assume only the US has the exact locations and numbers of every single nuclear weapon in the Israeli arsenal for the purposes of crippling all of their launch capabilities.

    But with Joe RottingCorpse Biden in charge… literally none of that will be happening. This is like the one time the US military should be using all of its intelligence and might to do a shitload of simultaneous strikes all over Israel to cripple its nuclear capabilities… and it will absolutely never happen.

    Also, why wouldn’t dumbass Bibi just sling a couple warheads at like DC or NYC while he’s doing the thing? Is the USAF so confident it can take out incoming ICBMs in real time? (It almost assuredly cannot. If they had that tech they’d be gloating over towards China and Russia daily).

    This situation has been resolved before in South Africa. It’s just crazy to think how fucking insane the Israelis are and how apparently nonchalant or unmoved the US/EU is towards their blatant aggression far beyond all boundaries. These dumbass boomers and/or ideological Nazis are so fucking hellbent on having their third reich in the Middle East that they would rather die than ever get rid of the current Hitler.

    Hasan was saying the other day that Eric (or Erik) Adams loosely translates to “plum man” from Turkish to English

    So I guess the password is like “Turkish people” (I speak zero Turkish, so, just guessing)

    Anyway, it is absolutely hilarious that his name can be translated like that


  • Not really. That may be what the west/Israel cope into believing, but Hezbollah is sort of de facto the Lebanese military. Israel/US can say anything they like to justify baby murder and illegal invasions, but remember that any time the US/Israel is designating any person or group as a terrorist, officially, it simply translates to “They oppose us. We hate that. We unilaterally declare killing them very legal and good. If you question this, then, you are [group/person]”

    Basically I’m saying if you understand the truth of the situation, that Israel are the terrorists in reality, and the biggest terrorist group on earth, the USA, backs them apparently to no end, then every excuse and reason they use for actions they take is immediately suspect if not just discarded immediately. I personally try to parse their bullshit. Even liars tell truths from time to time. But if you just assume everything the US or Israel ever says, ever, is a lie or bad faith misrepresentation then you’d be correct like 99% of the time.
