I’m 33. We’ll drag you back in

I saw this. I’m not sure if it’s official. If not, I how they let it stay up, but if you want to see it, watch it now.

He would rather a current fascist state join them

Those are the choices though. Either at worse the status quo or the people who want it harder faster and to potentially bring it home. I would like to change joe biden’s mind, and take away funding for Israel’s death machine, so I’ll reach out to my reps, but I won’t sit out. Sitting out implies that the magnitude of this issue is unimportant. Only the issue itself.

The argument doesn’t just include American deaths, but Japanese deaths as well. You may not agree, but the us just finished in Europe far past the point where the war was effectively over, and there was the belief that the Japanese would always take it further than the germans. Part of it was the japanese war strategy. They wanted the enemy to think they would have to cut through them to the last man woman and child, to get them to give up. There was a belief that maybe a shock would do something, but there was also doubt to that. 7 more bombs were going to be ready to soften up japanese defenses during downfall. They thought they would have to do much more damage.

Edit: I messed up my words in a way that subtlety changed the meaning of a sentence.

Not really maybe. In the article they say it, but neofacist cartoon character pic over here you are replying to probably didn’t read it. They say it’s for the Uyghurs and the support of the Taliban. They don’t like the taliban because they are their local authority.

Isis a US puppet? Fucking insane. The first two articles are from almost ten years ago. I’ll shit in Israel. Weren’t they funding Hamas back then too? I fully acknowledge that Israel wants this, but are you going to ask why won’t isis attack Israel’s puppet Palestinian? Is it because they are fellow Israeli puppet? The last link is reddit screenshots. I can see little else on the internet about it.

Edit: I did find an article which was under a pay wall where isis condemned Hamas eventually. They weren’t condemning them for attacking Israel though. They were basically condemning hamas for not being isis.

It’s like you didn’t read everything I said

All other extremists? The guy who shot up Christchurch? Was his grievance legitimate? The guys who burn synagogues? When the kkk bombed a church killing 3 children? I don’t think they were from my view. They aren’t chaotic, but their rational is not based on things outside of religion. I don’t see that as npc things. They are human, and humans do not all see things the same. I’m not the one putting my views on them. They say they feel a way, and I believe them. For some reason you can’t. It must be the cia, or America. I’ll give you one thing. The circumstances that created them were certainly the fault of the US intentional or not.

China is more unusual, but the Islamic world is not a simple, singular thing. Religion can be hostile to near faiths. If catholics are burning protestants(or vice versa) I wouldn’t thinking making friends with one, would endear you to the other. Even if you are friends with the Taliban, Isis doesn’t really care. To them the Taliban aren’t pure enough. No one but them are. Reaching out to the rest of the Islamic world may be seen as a negative to them.

If they are next to China, and china is not them, that may be enough for them to justify it to themselves. Religious extremists don’t tend to make perfect sense to people who see the world as it is.

They hate everyone dude. Have you not heard of them before? Why would they go after Russia? Ignoring historical grievances, their biggest operating grounds is in the African nations that France has been kicked out of and the formerly Wagner elements have taken the role of security guarantor. Why would they attack the primary force fighting them? Hmm. Why would they ignore Israel? Israel knows its targeted, and has a small border to patrol. It’s hard to hit someone whose always watching.

I understand that. All of the people I know in person who call themselves libertarians do not. I was explaining how they contradict themselves.

When you look at it, the moral authority for most of the libertarians I know is ayn rand. If any of them shift to biblical scripture, they should realize the Bible beaters try to take all or nothing, and its all is incompatible with rand. I despise how she looked at the world in many ways, but she described preventing abortion as the most evil thing she could think of.

Looking more into it that’s true. But we are talking about a little under 3 inches instead of 1. I may argue it’s maybe more fair to say that 1 inch is a bit small instead of 1 metre being a bit much. A factor of under 3 compared to over 10. It’s even more striking when we are talking about diameter and not area. The point is that the advanced technology to do this, is a commercial freight ship with an anchor, not godzilla. That’s the tech to do it accidentally, as it sometimes happens.

If they didn’t do it intentionally. One of the theories is that the ship they sank dragged its anchor across the cables. It can’t really be confirmed until the evidence has been collected, but it sounds plausible.

Where are you getting metre thick from? I’m seeing that modern cables tend to be around 1 inch. Maybe these are special cables, but I don’t see that. These things get cut by anchors sometimes. I could imagine what it would be like to get snagged on 4 metre thick wires. Some of them aren’t even that deep. Some divers tried cutting wires near egypt 10 years ago.

I would assume that being poorer both limits their voice when raising issues and makes their ability to leave harder. It sounds like the non white minorities are major victims and hit with a double whammy here. I suppose that happens a lot in history but I agree that it should be pointed out here as well.
