That is hilarious. I can imagine it with perfect clarity lol

I haven’t seen these posts, either. But I have to ask, are you this person?

By that logic, the NY Times should be banned as a source. They’re opinion section is chocked full of basically the pro US point of view and defending Israel (including a memo advocating genocide denial). One-sided coverage, poorly sourced, nakedly biased, it all applies to them, too.

Allowing sources from all points of view, as long as the facts are true, seems better than picking and choosing due to bias. Even these “centrist” institutions have their own biases.

That’s true lol

History is exactly why I’m skeptical.

The USA is the world’s sole superpower and this is in their area of influence. It’s always about them when they get involved (as they have in 2002, 2013, 2017, and 2019, etc.).

It’s not really democracies vs dictators, it’s countries in the US’s sphere vs countries not in the US’s sphere. It becomes more obvious and easy to see then. The OAS has been a puppet of US interests since the beginning (there’s a reason they didn’t let Cuba in). It literally started by a pledge to fight communism in the western hemisphere. Basically, it’s the US empire and it’s puppets and allies vs a rising new order of old colonized and sanctioned countries, which admittedly looks scary, but hopefully will one day lead to a multipolar world where people can deal with their own local issues without worry of western interference (which has almost always been net bad for the people of those countries in the global south Asia, Africa, and South America).

Plenty of Democratic administrations have done coups and wars all over the world. It’s just a US empire policy, no matter who is President, mostly because of capitalism. Sure, conservatives are usually worse about it, but Democrats do it, too. Biden is supporting a genocide in Israel. McKinley fought the Philippines, Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish American, JFK invaded Cuba and tried to coup it, Truman led the war in Korea and established a US puppet dictatorship in n the south for, JFK and LBJ were also involved in Vietnam, etc.

Not in the same period of time for the same level of development. And when it did, they accomplished it mostly through colonies and 1800’s imperialism.

I know someone in the US who is adamant Biden cheated, too. That’s not really evidence.

I’ve never seen any. I don’t know how people keep running into this lol.

Same. I forgot to mention that I like to buy cheaper games through second hand rather than paying full price on electronic stores. Often even their big sales aren’t as cheap as secondhand.

I still buy physical whenever I can. I’d hate to have my entire collection beholden to one account, although I know people do that with the PS Store, or Game Pass, or Steam. I don’t trust corporations, I guess. I really hope they don’t make disc-less consoles the standard.

Hwa trying to start World War 3 to stay in power. And the US looks like they’re going to let him…

There are lots of journalists in Gaza from all over. Where did you get the idea they only allow aljazeera in there? Israel is the one killing reporters btw, not Hamas.

Here’s an article with reporters from 3 different networks none of which are aljazeera, and one of which freelancers for NBC and Reuters.

The problem is that Israel can bomb them at any time, and there is no infrastructure to survive as a human, not Hamas. This article also has some other reporters from various publications and networks just trying to survive.

The rest of your comment is pretty abhorrent. They are killing the young before they pick up a weapon. I like how you put “young” in quotes as if this 10 year old is a hardened terrorist soldier that deserves to die. (Warning, starving child picture, NSFL). Read the ICC case It’s very obvious it’s a genocide once you combine their actions with the words. This interview with an Israeli holocaust scholar also gives a good summary of why it’s textbook case of genocide.

Oh Yay! Admittedly, I didn’t try it recently but I remember seeing an article that was down. If it’s back up, I’m glad to hear it.

Is torrent galaxy still down? That was my go to and sounds like I have to find another. I am a little worried if they keep bringing down the big ones like that, that we’ll be left with less choices and it’ll be more difficult.

Right? It seems repetitive.

Ya thanks for the interesting POV. I’ll try to look at it from that angle when I finally make it out over there.

I’d definitely still love to see it one day. And now at least that won’t catch me off guard lol.
