If this ever happens, watch the liberal media still ask people they condemn khamas when talking about this.
When I saw the news about the impeachment vote, I had the thought “what if they don’t want to replace him just yet because they assume Iran will assassinate him and he’ll be gone?”
This just adds to that idea.
And it would be the most symbolic if it was a shit bomb under trump’s chair.
Zionists are blood thirsty monsters that should be stopped by the world. Stomp their ideology out.
Plrase let that happen!
Should have been one at the GOP convention.
does “national honour” justify starving tens of thousands of children and civilians?
Of course. That is how nationalism works.
Nationalism isn’t something evil inherently, I like to remind of the “singing revolution”, a peaceful separatists movements of the baltic states to split ties with the soviet occupying force:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_WayBut it can very quickly turn into something evil if utilized by powerhungry regimes
Nationalism as a political ideology and nationalism as advocacy for independence of people sharing national identity that isn’t broadly recognized as official nation are two different things sharing the same name. Nationalism as political ideology is inherently evil, as it puts interests of an artifical construct above interests of people, with specific attention put to ingroup and outgroup dynamics. Separatists movements aren’t inherently evil, with the desire of liberation being usually something everyone can stand behind, but if those movements co-opt the nationalist ideology, then they may be classified as evil in my book. Or evil-er. There are no perfect victims and such.
I feel like it’s a meaningful distinction to make.
Nationalism vs Patriotism
Nationalism - identification with one’s own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.
Patriotism - the quality of being patriotic; devotion to and vigorous support for one’s country.
I disagree with this argument solely for the fact that nationalism as a FUNCTION arises out of a desire to form a cohesive cultural identity that can be defined and can ostensibly provide context for people’s place in a society; something that occurs across the scale of human settlements, but which in our current age manifests primarily in association to a nation-state. I think the point you’re trying to make is that nationalism as an IDEOLOGY is weak and highly prone to exploitation, leading to its broad application by people with evil intentions.
Also, a reminder that the Confederacy was definitively a separatist movement.
Nationalism as a function, to use your terms, doesn’t have to specifically be a result of a desire for cultural identity. It might, but when speaking of it as a function it has a narrower meaning and doesn’t have to carry additional baggage like that, though it may often imply it. When speaking of nationalism as ideology, it definitely fits my definition of evil, by putting artifical values above the wellbeing of people, which nationalism does by definition. Following that logic, nationalism as function isn’t necessarily evil (though it may be if you flavor it with racism or such, like Confederation did), while nationalism as ideology necessarily is. I’m not sure what specifically you were disagreeing with, so I hope I made my point clearer.
Timmy has fairies, he doesn’t need god
Akschually, Da Rules state t
It annoys me that it actually is canon that the fairies are angels. Fundies can’t help but steal everything.
The creator is a fundie
Yes, and as in fundie tradition he stole parts of other myths and forced it to fit his own beliefs.
Right, the way it was worded kinda sounded like you thought the show had been taken over by a fundie to shoehorn in that they’re angels.
chat is this real
Did a random Twitter account say something?
You could go look, but I don’t see the point. It’s fucking twitter, it might be a far right racist, it might be a bot, it might be propaganda.
Who fucking cares what any random person says on Twitter?
It could even be a far right racist propaganda bot.
true lol
There was that Bluesky or mastodon post going around of writer I had never heard of telling people that now is the time for violence. Hundreds of upvotes in several communities.
Some random person with a pseudonym and a blog that writes like an angry 14 year old who’s never left the house.
I asked who this person was and why they were directing peaceful protests to become violent instead of doing it themselves and boy howdy did I get dog piled for it.
Sometimes I wish this would happen so that the USA would 180 and invade Israel instead, but like the USS Liberty is evidence that the opposite would happen and the government would just cover it up and send Israel another billion dollars
We’d do like that guy who dick cheney shot in the face, and apologize to the Israelis that they bombed us.

I love how Netanyahu have him a golden pager
Just a reminder for taco to stay in line.
Huh ? Last I looked Mango the Hutt was doing everything an Israeli could want ? How has he upset the genociders ?
He told Israel to stop bombing Iran >:(
He also didn’t wipe Iran off the map like Miriam Adelson and Netanyahu wanted.
Ahh. Missed that. Thanks.
Tomorrow: rains of fish
This concludes the extent of his negotiating skills.
Israel is like a cat pushing things off a table. They maintain firm eye contact while committing war crimes, just to demonstrate how little respect they have for their supposed allies. Of course Trump can’t see that is their game because he has the IQ of a watermelon.
Plants have demonstrated sentience/self awareness.
This is the kind of shit why I say that white supremacists and Nazis love the state of Israel. Both they and Israel insist that this is what Jews are really about, at the expense of actual Jewish people just trying to live their lives.
Yep, most zionists are American Christian fundamentalist psychos
remember that the creation of a Jewish ethnostate was always the original goal of the nazi party. the mass killings only started when the logistics became infeasible.
Some reading for those interested.
Figures there’d be a blue check.
<Seattle goes up in smoke because foreigners don’t understand the difference between Washington state and Washington DC>
<Trump starts selling gold-plated Space Needle statues with his head on top>
I mean, you wouldn’t be too far off. There’s an Air Force base about 20-30 minutes from my house. I imagine it would be a military target if a war was ever waged stateside.
There are several high-value sites in the state, and I-5 is an obvious target just generally. JBLM, Whidbey Island Station, Everett Naval, and major power infrastructure like Hanford or Grand Coulee.
Also Bangor (now Kitsap) for the nuclear sub fleet and such.
There’s an AFB or navy base by a lot of bigger cities. The army takes their crazy off into a corner of a state though, so they can play in the field alone.
I guarantee that a random Italian living in a tiny nowhere village knows more about the US than your average US citizen knows about Italy. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t know the difference between Washington state and Washington the city.
I have however spoken to Americans who couldn’t point to the United States on an atlas.
To be fair if we’re talking geographically, it’d be more fair to compare knowledge of the US to knowledge of the whole of Europe.
If we’re talking about history it’s a bit different.
Foreigners know the difference. It’s Americans who are dumb. I can’t tell you how many Americans think New Mexico is not a state.
I wish this wasn’t true. My teen thought this for a few minutes and I had to correct her. I thought she was gaslighting me at first.
Pff, yeah right, and New Amsterdam isn’t in Europe.
When I moved away from Alaska, the first person I spoke to in Georgia was a fast food cashier who asked about my day, and they asked “How are you liking the states?” No variation of “Alaska is a state.” would get through to him, he just kept saying “Sure, but I mean like a United States state.”
He presumably meant contiguous, but definitely didn’t know the word
He did not, I asked specifically. I even said “Alaska is the 49th of the 50 states.” and he chuckled and said I was confused. Thankfully that wasn’t the standard, but I did meet a few more similarly confounded people over the years.
Also the number of people that think Alaska is small because of how it’s shown on many maps is staggering.
There’s a tweet going around a little while ago about an American who didn’t know that Rome was in Italy. Apparently there’s a Rome in the US and she only knew about that one.
Do American schools teach their kids literally anything at all? How can you not know where Rome is.
Lol, I think I remember a trivia question where texas had more foreign states in it than the ussr. Americans get off on naming cities/areas after foreign nations.
