ah i was wondering when they'd figure out how to be worse
What have you done??? You’ve just challenged the Jesus to one up this
Oh no we banned Jesus years ago for hanging out with cops. We use the Lathe of Heaven to speak fresh man-made horrors in to existence on Hexbear.
Genuinely thought this was an Onion headline
it's not genocide, it's a war against hamas -> those weren't innocents, they were secretly hamas -> all palestinians are hamas -> this shit
As usual, the libs have created an impossible to escape rhetorical hole. They can't criticize this except to point out that's it's racist, which can easily be countered by leaning on the consensus that even the idea of Palestinian freedom and autonomy is antisemitic. They've already made this particular racist act completely acceptable by spending several decades acting like Jewish and Palestinian lives are mutually exclusive. The libs also can't critique racism in general because then they have to act like tankies and critique how capitalist power is maintained. They can say racism is bad, but they can't say why. Rightwingers will just say it's good, and the reason it's good is because it punishes the scapegoat.
Sorry. This is just a small brain dump. I occasionally see some new aspect of the complete irrationality of the environment I'm living in and I want to articulate it. In this case it's the constant assertion that like capitalism, there is no alternative to Israeli violence in Gaza.
In the movie SHOOTER, Mark Wahlberg plays Bob Lee Swagger, an ex-marine, who kills a sitting US Senator
I don't believe Mark Wahlberg would take a role like that, everything else he does is too 
. Unless, what, was the senator Vietnamese or something?
The Senator was corrupt and working for oil companies, and made Wahlberg's character unknowingly complicit in war crimes, which made him mad.
Note that it's not because of the war crimes, but because of the corruption, that Wahlberg's character does what he does
The Senator was corrupt and working for oil companies
Haven't watched this movie but I take it they present this as the exception rather than the rule?
Think so, been a while since I've seen it and it's probably not good enough to merit a rewatch
it's not, really. he's sort of the untouchable head of the snake in the movie conflict, but it portrays an organization with deep military, intelligence community, and private security ties engaging in mass murder and assassination to maintain profit.
after being cut loose from some military black op, Markus Mark becomes disillusioned with the US and is a weirdo living in the middle of nowhere for years until he gets pulled into a conspiracy / frame as a lone gunman. the movie is about him on the run and trying to get clear of it all.
it's not a brilliant achievement in film, but it's pretty fun action conspiracy flick about one guy with uncanny ability to survive dog shit scenarios and fire a rifle long distance in a very bleak world. it's got a buddy-cop angle to it, because he pairs up with this junior/nobody FBI guy who is torching his career by questioning the line gunman narrative.
I totally endorse it as a fun pop corn movie. has a few banger lines and some cheesy ones.

Welcome to wwiii it's already started. Fuck everything. Help people.
Its difficult to pinpoint when WWIII began. Scholars at the Lenin-Zedong Historical Institute have put forth various arguements for diffferent dates. Many tend to consider the Russian Federation's recognition of the Donbas Republics and the ensuing proxy war with the US Imperialist Order. Some counter that this conflict began with the Euromaiden coup in 2014 and perfer to use this date.
A different faction, while acknowledging the importance of the Ukrainian Proxy War (of 2022 or of 2014 as mentioned is its own seperate debate) Many Historians prefer the 2023 Gazan uprising and the subsequent horriffic reprisal carried out by the US client state of Israel, who had been carrying out a policy of apartheid against the native Palestinian population so extreme that Gaza earned the epitaph of the "Largest Open Air Prison in the World."
While scholars may disagree about the date. They, like we all, honor the sacrifice of these various peoples' against the US Imperialist Order which led to its downfall, and the eventual creation of the better world first envisioned by Marx and Engels we all enjoy today.
Yeah I don't know the exact start, which will be decided by the survivors (if there are any) I guess, but I do think it's already begun.
I agree, unfortunately
it started with the assassination of the archduke Qasem Soleimani
” This is the most anti-Hamas immigration legislation I have seen and it’s well deserved.”
Re. Ryan Zinke (R-Wannsee)
So basically admitting he didn't write the bill. Who peddled it in front of him? AIPAC?
Because?
Its a day ending in ‘Y’
Did Trump need a because when he tried the Muslim ban in 2017? Republicans don't care about the why, they just want to inflict harm on anyone that isn't a straight white male billionaire.
Hamas is the latest boogeyman.
the islamophobia that followed in the wake of 9/11 and the wars in the middle east
Because the US govt is composed of genocidal shits, that's why
What a fucking ghoul
Overt racists can go to the 
Covert racists too
They really said "hmm... the Dems have been pretty mask off lately, how can we be worse?"

It probably means more of them would come to Latin America. We already have more than US does anyway.
Hell.
The US doesn't recognize Palestine as a State so I guess they're just gonna drop off loads of Palestinians in Israel then?
Step 1: Make a law expelling all Palestinians Step 2: Attempt to expel them to Israel Step 3: Israel does not accept them (no right to return for Palestinians) Step 4: Oh no, guess we're out of options, there's only one thing left to do! Step 5: Concentration camps
Vote.
