If I made a metal cage for rich people that locked and set on fire, I would go to prison for life probably. This guy does that and sells it to them

Riling up nerds is a time honored tradition among my people

I’m just here to have fun 🤷‍♀️

So how does this new, different US strategy differ from what they’ve been doing this entire time? letting the atrocities play out has been their strategy, is it because they’ve officially given up on calling for a cease fire?

Unsourced speculation is a weird way to say “reading the article and citing what it said”

The administration is saying the justifications, the stenographers of empire are the ones uncritically reporting them.

Do you really need me to spell it out?

Now, U.S. officials have dropped their calls for a ceasefire, arguing that circumstances have changed. “We do support Israel launching these incursions to degrade Hezbollah’s infrastructure so ultimately we can get a diplomatic resolution,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told a press briefing earlier this week. The course change reflects conflicting U.S. goals - containing the ever-growing Middle East conflict while also severely weakening Iran-backed Hezbollah.

The new approach is both practical and risky.

We love a practical warmonger 🤩🤩🤩

I don’t think the Pentagon is on Ukraine unless conditions on the ground have dramatically changed

yeah it is, it’s uncritically reporting what the administration is saying, justifying the war even, despite the fact that they obviously control the reins on this mad dog - they could cut off weapons at any time.

The US strategy has not changed despite the headline, it has always been to let the atrocities play out

The US is supplying the bombs that are being used to indescriminantly murder civilians though.

This is what Americans actually think the Russians are planning!

Oh you’re the one with the hyperfixation on hexbear.

As you were officer. 🫡

everyone who politically disagrees with me is either not human or a “useful idiot”

Hopefully some day we can find the root of this toxic division haunting lemmy 🙏

Sure, it was toxic in other ways, but Lemmy in 2024 is basically 2004 Slashdot - just replace Bush with Trump

Lmao I was there, can confirm

The bickering about software platforms is unchanged and people will jump down your throat for voicing an independent thought.

I remember liberals getting just as mad for naysaying Kerry as they do Biden now.

It remains unclear if there are any other replenishment ships like it immediately available in the Mideast. An AP survey of publicly released military images of similar replenishment ships run by the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command showed none in the Mideast in recent months. The command declined to comment.

🤔

The problem is that, with a lot of causes like feminism, it’s kind of mushy. It isn’t straightforward, it is loud, it is a winding path. … I just feel like just simply supporting the rights of women isn’t enough with it and that there’s something more.

This is why intersections are important, there are many interconnected struggles under capitalism which all run into common opposition along misogynistic/classist/racist lines and often with numerous overlaps.

Having an approach which does not include the systemic forces at play from more angles than just one, can lead you to blind spots which cause friction with other people.

I don’t think going out of my way to stand somewhere waving a sign for hours is what I think a good way to spend time with. I believe we should protest smarter by fighting with facts and being more focused than just allowing intrusive and irrelevant directives take hold of certain causes.

Demonstrations are only useful if they’re actually demonstrating something. If there’s nothing actually threatening why should anyone take your demonstration seriously? This doesn’t mean you need to be actually getting people in danger, but shit like stopping traffic and being disruptive makes a point where holding signs does not.

The undecided voters this year have really been deciding with a vengeance

This latest guy having a ton of Ukraine posts is probably also part of them being like “he’s a democrat”- there’s even a picture of him with blue hair

I’d set it up as a death match where they are all dropped into different parts of an island and have to survive with what they can find

Sounds like you’re the one with the cult-like devotion, but sure whatever you say officer

They clearly revel in “dunking on libs” by chain downvoting and harassing people when they say things that the hexbear hive mind disagrees with. And yet always claim innocence when their obvious brigading is called out, as you are currently doing.

They don’t even have down votes turned on, unless you’re saying that their users are going out of their way to make alt accounts specifically to downvote.

This looks like projection as you are the one who seems to think that down votes are some shield against wrong think and they don’t seem to care about them at all.
