Abby Martin speaks with Thiago De Ávila, steering committee of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla Coalition, as he sails to Gaza alongside Greta Thunberg and others, discussing the mission of building a humanitarian corridor and threats of another bombing attack by Israeli drones.

Her politics is largely the same as some Western radlib, but I'll give her credit for her bravery. I don't think the Zionist entity will kill her if they're being rational, but then again, a substantial portion of the Zionist entity believe bioengineering a red heifer will bring about the Messiah, so who knows.

She's simultaneously too famous and not harmful enough for them to directly kill her with the IOF. Most likely, they'll try to find more clandestine means, starting with siccing fascist goons on her and letting them do the dirty work. I put Hasan in the same category as well. He and she really need to think about security.

White collar trick: When you want to talk to your buddy, call them with your company line to their company line. People will think you're productive and important because you're always on the phone even though you're just goofing off with your buddy. People will also be less likely to bother you because they think you're working.

For Stalin at least, the second half of the Chinese Civil War was basically the first modern proxy war with the KMT being supported by the US. Stuff like Stalin telling Greek communists to stand down needs to be viewed in this context. Stalin being less assertive in Europe mattered less when the CPC triumphed over the KMT with Soviet support. Even Stalin being unwilling to support the DPRK can be read as him assuming that the PRC would support the DPRK anyways and having both the SU and the PRC openly support the DPRK would lead to the US escalating towards nukes (and the US was already close to using nukes on the PVA). Plus, Stalin was super old at that point so it might be him not wanting to start something but not live long enough to see it end along with poor judgment on his part.

Repeating my point that Hasan needs to seriously think about security and have an escape plan to gtfo the US before it's too late.

It's always the companies you most suspect.

It's the prequels turning Anakin into a Christ-like figure. Meanwhile, the OT had a conception of the Force based on vaguely Eastern/Orientalist spirituality. Just compare Yoda's monologue about luminous beings are we vs Anakin not being conceived by his parents like the virgin birth of Jesus.

So now three VA's on that show has died: the VA's for Redcorn, Dale, plus Luanne from a while ago. That's pretty cursed for a cartoon series to lose three VA's like that. Britanny Murphy's death was also completely sketchy as well.

The crying over adventurism and optics is getting old. It's going to happen either way. People are doing adventurism because they are rightfully frustrated at the open support of their own government, their own complicity by virtue of paying taxes if nothing else, and the lack of any other options, and no, some march or demonstration doesn't count as an option.

I've seen them out there before with Israeli flags trying to piss people off.

Well, it looks like they got more than they bargained for.

This is unfortunately what you get. People doing these kinds of attacks that don't in any way disrupt the zionist machine, don't really intimidate those who matter at the top because you're just hitting the very bottom and play right into their narrative and let them justify more crackdowns and paint everyone with the same broad brush as just hating Jews, as being terrorists, as being willing to kill uninvolved civilians.

That is until it gets to the point where people start forming lynch mobs to lynch any potential Zionist and vandal any potential Zionist-owned stores. Of course, pogroms and Kristallnachts with anti-Zionist characteristics isn't something we should wish for because there's no chance in Hell an "anti-Zionist" lynch mob would actually be anti-Zionist. And I think the day when a lynch mob goes after a Zionist or worse, a suspected Zionist (ie a Jew) is a lot closer than we think.

Ozymanbeanis (hexbear.net)
submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I met a poster from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of bean
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless beans,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymanbeanis, Bean of Beans:
Sniff on my toots, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No bean beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal bean, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

A poster from a Berlin restaurant (Feinberg's). It shows "watermelons" with clearly recognizable human faces (oc representing Palestinians) and an Israeli "lion" turning them into smoothies, by (quote:) "shredding, pureeing, and hacking to pieces." That's Germany now.
