Power’s still out, 2 days now. Originally it was expected back by tomorrow but it got pushed to Tuesday now, probably redirecting people to NC where shit is so much worse.

I really didn’t expect this hurricane to be Katrina for Asheville. It’s like 7+ hours from the ocean what the fuck.

How long until Chinese missiles flatten Tel Aviv?

Every judge, cop, or prison guard that has been in the same room as either of these men should serve life in prison.

Really wishing China, Iran, and Russia would band together and flatten said country exactly like you suggest

Exactly, which is why I say, every time I see them translated I’m taken aback. I am very aware that there’s a very different context. It still throws me off when I see it because I (rightly) do not normally think of Hezbollah and the white supremacist preacher as the same and so seeing them use the same language feels super fucking weird.

I guess this is a better way to say it: Because of my background, those words to me have a white, Christian supremacist implication to them. When I hear people talk like that (in English) it is a very reasonable assumption to make that they’re a psycho that should be avoided at all costs. And that is not the case here, which is why it’s strange.

I shouldn’t have said “religious nuts” I suppose, that was my bad. Idk, could we maybe translate to synonyms that aren’t exactly how the Christian far-right talks?

Except it’s the same “flowery language” my fire and brimstone preacher gave at my grandma’s funeral where he said in the eulogy that my immediate family would burn in hell for not believing.

Excuse me for having a bit of religious trauma that comes out sometimes

I want to be so clear that Lebanon has every right under both international law and morality to flatten every city in “Israel”

Thanks, I hate this.

The only way

Well it’s not the way I was thinking of. Although I guess cutting off military aid would be included in my method of “Bombing every structure in Tel Aviv taller than a bush”

That comment section was the dumbest thing I’ve seen in weeks. Like holy shit that was worse than Facebook comments. I don’t know how these people manage to keep themselves fed and bathed.

Exactly. No matter how many times you say, “No, I don’t support Hamas” they hear yes anyway, they don’t accept no as an answer, so condemning Hamas is just giving the fash more ammo.

I understand why they don’t do it but I really want to see people start responding to that shit with “Yes, I support Hamas in their efforts to protect Gaza from Israel. Hamas has a right to defend itself.”

Honestly, I think condemning Hamas in these situations is a mistake. It starts you on the back foot, accepting their framing of the situation. No, I do not condemn Hamas, or their actions on October 7th, for the same reason I would not condemn the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

They need to sanction the US and block our ships from the Mediterranean

You’re totally right. Kennedy is the one that said “What does yada yada yada mean?” in the tiktok hearings.

Same Senator!

I was wrong

Sorry I meant “it doesn’t matter” as in “I do not care about the origin, the actions we need to take are the same regardless”

I vaguely believe it came from Ft Detrick but also it doesn’t matter. Regardless of the source it should’ve been dealt with differently and now it’s here and we have to deal with it.

Even the regime itself has no clear idea of how many are leaving, as the people at the central bureau of statistics who were supposed to do the calculations has also left.
