Wait, you’re telling me other countries are justified in responding to attacks on their nation that are acts of war?! I never knew! I thought only the US was allowed to attack nations that never attacked them and then cry about fake WMDs.
These Iranians sure have some nerve just existing next to Israel.
The lies are the same. But we are in a completely different America than 20 years ago. This is the actions of a dying empire. 2003 were the actions of a empire that thought it could never lose.
The imperialism will be turned inward much much more this time. Fascism needs a war to justify it’s authority domestically.
It’s not that. They are forming a narrative for the American public’s concent. It’s not that Trump is dumb. It’s not that the news media is dumb. It’s that they think the American public is dumb (and they are).
We aren’t at the point of “we are a superior race and need to kill all these Muslims” yet. So we still attempt to justify our absolutely unjustifiable actions. At least to the dumbest people of American. That’s who this is for. No one else.
China needs to start caring about how these actions from the US are threatening it’s own stability. I don’t want war with China. But there is a point where they will be forced to take actual action to defend their allies. And that’s what the US is banking on. They want world war. This is another step towards that.
Dude on CNN talking about how “now we are looking for Iran to come to the table for diplomacy”. They are really trying to set up concent for further involvement.
I feel like I’m losing my mind watching all news media. So just a reminder for people.
Iran attacked no one until they were first attacked by Israel. They literally got attacked by Israel days before a diplomatic talk scheduled with the US. I’m losing my mind over how blatantly our media manufactures concent for war.
God damn America. We’re such fucking scumbags dude. Fuck our imperialism.
Look forward to further fascist policies domestically now. Anyone against Trump now is going to get labeled an enemy of the state during war time.
We are so fucking dumb and bloodthirsty. This is just 2003 but somehow with an even dumber president and far far less allies.
I use to love space travel as a kid and a young adult. And now, at, 34 years old, I just want my neighbor to be able to have healthcare.

Nazis. But this time we get shitty songs from them filmed on a smartphone.
Dude. I bet they have a retirement pension. I bet they get paid sick leave and time off when their child is born. Fucking elite assholes. Unions are the real parasites on the working class.
Do they not think about the rights of the Israeli working class? It’s an Israelis right to wake up every morning and know that at least 10 children in Gaza were killed while they slept. Palestinian babies are the real elites actually.
Most people in the west you mean. Most people in the world are very much against Israel and it’s genocide. I think we forget this.
If you live in the west you can feel alone in caring about the suffering. You just feel alone in the west.
We’ve hit the point where people are only trying to save their own asses from any type of future justice. Justice that will hopefully come before they are all dead.
It is a positive shift. Don’t get me wrong. But what we are seeing right now has not done anything yet to improve the material conditions of the people of Gaza or Palestine as a whole.
These western leaders and scholars are trying to form a narrative that can be looked back at as “the point” in which they stood up against the genocide. But (1) that point was 19 months ago and (2) they aren’t actually doing anything to stop the genocide.
We cannot let history see them in a good light. These leaders and scholars have known exactly what has been happening for the last 19 months. You can’t spend 19 months denying the acts of genocide and only finally come to the conclusion once Gaza is reduced to ruins and it’s entire population is starving. That not what genocide scholars are meant to tell us. They aren’t meant to tell as after the fact. They are meant to learn from history and call out these things long before it is allowed to reach this point.
And many of them did. But if you’re a “genocide scholar” and you’re only now coming to the conclusion that this is genocide. 19 months after real scholars correctly pointed to it. You are not a scholar. You are a glorified record keeper.
Yeah. Famously no other universities have been targeted. We definitely don’t have a green card holding student rotting in a cell for months at this point. With not a single charge of a crime against him.
Yeah. I’m sure this rich queen is the only victim. And Harvard has definitely been the only school targeted /s
Do you think this policy is only going to be unique to Harvard? Your comment is ironic because it’s upvoted by the same people disagreeing with me that don’t care about a royal. But can’t see the the the bigger picture of who this hurts.
The entire criticism I have is that it shouldn’t take a royal for people to care and it’s absolutely silly to write an article around it. It makes the absolutely wrong point about who is harmed by this. It’s literally pro Trump. Use to trick his base into thinking the “elite” are the ones that will be hurt. They won’t. They will at most be inconvenienced.
But you somehow miss BOTH points. Somehow not getting my point of criticism of the article AND missing the larger picture of who these xenophobic policies will hurt the most.
It’s starts here. At the easiest place for American working class to say “yep, fuck the Queen”. And solidifies xenophobic policies into law. All while idiot liberals clutch their pearls as “the poor queen”.
I can respect that
There’s a lot of libs that run off of identity politics here and are completely delusional in thinking that this somehow will connect with Trump voters since she’s white.
What lack of material analysis does to a mother fucker.
Honestly. If a couple bourgeoisie take some strays for Trump’s awful policies I’m not gonna shed a tear. Who the fuck cares about a Belgium queen? I care about the working class kid that isn’t gonna graduate. Fuck the Queen.
My neighborhood i rent in is really expensive. I’m well off but not well off enough to ever be able to afford a house here. Especially not now with a one year old kid. My rent is $3500 but the cheapest house here would be at least $10000 (all expenses considered) a month on a 30 year mortgage.
Most of the people that live in the single family homes here are old with no kids. Most families with kids here rent.
Every so often I see one of the homes get all it’s landscaping cleaned up, the house painted and sometimes an extension added onto it. Those are all the Airbnb’s. Just a house that sits there empty for 3/4 weeks.
The other ones get torn down and turned into what I’d call a “box” house. Basically that ugly style of house that takes up the entire plot of land but still is only meant for one family. These are bought by the inherited wealth families that have a couple kids and want to get out of the main city but still don’t want to live in the deep car dependent suburbs.
All of this because housing is used as an investment vehicle. From large corporations to individuals in retirement.
I really wish we could treat it for what it is. Shelter.
If you think electing an anti Zionist pope would change anything you have not been paying attention.
Yeah. That’s just a red flag for me at this point. If you’re still calling this genocide “a war” I really can’t respect anything that you say.
