Order it delivered, one bottle at a time?

Consider it backwards: Israel sees this attack happening so valuable, that they were willing to forego using the pagers for spying.

Nah, see, some people would like to return to the time when saying “terrorist” would get people foaming at the mouth and approve whatever the military wants.

Palestine is actually an interesting A/B test: you have Gaza, that is resisting, and West Bank, that is collaborating, and you can compare the results:

• Gaza is being subjected to periodical flare-ups of genocide, causing much consternation in the world media, and despite the world governments largely continuing to back Israel, the sheer mask-off nature of the violence seems to have caused the public opinion to shift.

• West Bank is being subjected to constant low level ethnic cleansing, disposession, and removal. There are occasional pogroms, but overall it’s been quiet and ignorable. Consequently, most people forget they even exist, and those that do can get away with “hoping for peace”, thoughts-and-prayers style, as the removal continues.

You be the judge.

“Iran made me do a genocide” is certainly a take. One of the most takes of all time, even.

I… get the feeling you’re not trying to have a conversation about the particular incident in the OP article. Which is fine, and good, but don’t overproject.

Simple: one of the basic requirements of being in power is wanting to have power. It’s also one of the basic reasons one shouldn’t be allowed to have power.

-Are y’all with the cult?

Simple, we wrrie down the information on how to read the discs!

Nah, blinking when done. It’s a call to action of sorts.

Oh, it’s not the concern that’s funny, if they had that selfawareness it would be admirable. Instead, you have people pat themselves on the back for how aware they are every time they encounter a validating piece of propaganda they, of course, fall for. Big “I know a messiah when I see one, I’ve followed quite a few!” energy.

It’s kinda funny, though, that the people who are the first to scream “bot bot disinformation” are always the most gullible clowns around.

I’d sooner guess “ban evader”.

Welcome to post-structuralism, enjoy the ennui. And the cognac.

I meant that the money donated isn’t that much, compared to the existing endowment. I think it was Adam Tooze’s argument, that IIRC Columbia could basically afford to lose most if not all donation streams and just fund itself from the stock market. And his interpretation as to why they reacted so violently is either fully ideological on behalf of the admin, or because Colombia is actually underperforming as asset management, a panicking reasserting of who runs the place, which is in a way also ideological.

It’s not unaware. It’s a policy that allows protest as an abstract idea, as long as nobody actually ever does it. It’s reminiscent of Zizeks visiting grandma joke.

From what I understand it’s not even that much money. The logic seems to be that the idea of democratic money management must be stomped out regardless of the cause it’s advocated for.

Nah, those were made by the Yokosuka arsenal.

Man, if only Germany didn’t gift them those subs…

I mean, there’s practically no way to avoid hearing about your elections, might as well make it slightly more bearable.
