I expect anti union tactics to escalate with Trump back.

this is the first I’ve heard about it.

Also Russia is totally cooking the books/cozying up to China as the lesser power in the relationship

It’s like the trenches of WWI combined with the forever wars the US fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Congratulations Russia, you’ve saddled yourself with a decades long conflict potentially and lost the geopolitical purpose of invading Ukraine within months since Sweden and Finland applied for NATO membership.

Truly the only trustworthy source

Saved for later

He denounced specific parts of the attack. The section of international law that explicitly allows violent resistance to a military occupation or blockade doesn’t exempt the resistors from the rest of international law. The IDF/Israel and Hamas have the same obligations under international law(s).

Yeah so funny to tell a child they deserved to be hurt

Israel has never needed an excuse to maim people and destroy their homes

Okay but the problem is that maiming people and destroying their homes is wrong, and that Israel has a disproportionate amount of power in order to do so on a far larger scale.

go home

To where? What about the ones who are born in Israel and grew up there? What is it that you actually expect to happen to Israeli civilians, and why do you believe that historical injustice is an excuse to inflict more harm?

And when we killed those Iraqi children, I was upset, becuase killing children is wrong.

Seems like statements like “all Palestinian violence against Israel is not only justified but good” that I’m seeing here are implying that they’re only upset about the dead Iraqis because the US is the one who killed them. Does such a statement not imply that the death of Israeli children is less of a tragedy than Iraqi children?

Is it hand-wringing to feel upset at civilians being taken hostage? Tell me why I should look an 8-year old Israeli kid in the eye and tell them they deserve what’s coming to them

Uprising? I’m sorry, but the civilians in Gaza aren’t doing any glorious uprising they’re hiding from the barrage of Israeli rockets being launched that are leveling their city.

An uprising is not a coordinated military effort, and while I am on the side of the oppressed, i am not going to use a bunch of justifications to dismiss the trauma being inflicted on civilians because they had the gall to be born to parents who decided to move to occupied Palestine.

Sometimes I really wonder how many of you actually care about human life and how many of you care about evening the score.

I’m saying that failing to realise the target was chosen for what was in the buildings and not just because they’re tall buildings is pure liberalism,

You know that that’s what every tall building is right? There’s literally a whole thing about how skyscrapers basically exist for capitalism. They chose the WTC because that tall building in particular would be particularly terrifying to watch blow up and collapse for the rest ofnthe city (which you know, is mostly working class people, like everywhere else).

any questioning of what finance capital actually does would lead people to realising the vast majority of these people weren’t innocents

Even if every single person of the 3k who died in the WTC was a CEO or high-level management in finance capital, they still wouldn’t deserve to die how they did. Even if I personally support lining them up against a wall, I don’t cease caring about 9/11 because I want them dead anyways.

Now, in the real world, for every finance capitalist, there is a team of employees, paid hourly, who are not capitalists but are selling their ability to work for a wage like most of us. They were the majority of the people who died in 9/11.

A direct and targeted attack? It terrified millions of working class NYCers what are you talking about? The majority of the people who actually made up the workforce of those firms wouldn’t be bourgeois - someone who’s job it was to copy data or answer the phone for the head honcho.

The ash cloud and debris field was damaging to a hell of a lot more than just a handful of rich people who you think deserved it (even if you support lining them up against a wall, I feel like that’s different because it would come as part of a broader revolution and not be the outcome of an isolated terrorist attack).

Most attacks on malls don’t kill upwards of 3000 people at once. Heck, some malls can’t even hold that many inside them.

How many of you are actually happy that people died? I think the memes are funny and I also agree with everything about the US and what it does to people around the world, but my outlook on the world isn’t such that I’m glad when someone “evens the score”.

Lies! I went outside and I saw a poster about CLIMATE CHANGE, and then I turned the corner and heard a family complaining about minimum wage being too low! So unfair, I just want to be ignorant of other people’s suffering.

2023 and we’re still calling things our spirit animals eh?

IDK it might be beneficial to know if it’s ANOTHER one of the 15 intelligence agencies the US operates…

Like Russia, the US prosecutes you for exposing the truth of what the US army does abroad. arguing that classified information keeps US citizens safe in their “work” abroad – not unique to the US but the US is the dominant world power still so it gets a lot of criticism from the left. It’s hard to get the right perspective when you live in an imperial core that has done a lot to insulate its civilian populace from the impacts of conflict, and governments don’t like it when whistleblowers make it easier.
