It amuses the hell out of me every time the conservatives whine about their brazen disinformation getting censored, since whenenver and wherever they get an opportunity (including, especially ironically, Facebook), they reveal themselves to be the most cowardly censorious people on the planet.
Everywhere, without exception, where conservatives have control, anything that even hints at undermining their comforting delusions is instantly censored.
But if anybody dares to censor anything they might want to say, including overt and deliberate lies, they wail and cry like the spoiled children they are.
What's with this mealy-mouthed "extremists" stuff?
The Israeli government overtly supports the illegal settlers, and the IDF and the police actually distribute the weapons with which they then terrorize and murder Palestinians.
It's not just "extremists" - it's Israeli government policy in action.
Israel is a rogue state. It's just that simple.
I guarantee that the explanation for this would become very obvious if one were to simply, as the cliche has it, "follow the money."
So the unspoken bit about RFK Jr. is that he's a tweaker, right?
I mean, the details are all in the context of politically entitled progeny, but the underlying vibe I get from the stories about him is very reminiscent of the tweakers I've known over the years.
Israel is a rogue state.
Who said anything about striving to be different?
That's at least as cringey as striving to be the same, and generally even more so.
Strongly agreed.
I'm reminded of the scene in Groundhog Day in which they have that one day that just unfolds naturally and is so wonderful, and then the next time through, the Bill Murray character tries to duplicate it, and it's just awful and cringey.
Lemmy, given the chance, will (continue to) develop its own norms and memes and traditions, and be that much better for it. Just trying to duplicate Reddit here is not only doomed to failure, but cringey.
"Doubts grow?"
Why would they even need to "grow?" This is just June and July all over again, with the only difference being that Hamas isn't buying any of it this time around.
The Biden administration isn't trying to negotiate anything. It's just trying to strike a pose to dodge the entirely deserved condemnation it's getting for enabling a genocide while continuing to enable a genocide.
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!"
I don't think it's with her popularity that the creepy old serial sex abuser is preoccupied...
As intended. The wealthy few don't buy Supreme Court justices for no reason.
The decisions aren't just about undermining climate policies - they're more broadly about eliminating any impediments to the wealthy and empowered few raping and pillaging to their hearts' content, entirely free of any threat of consequences. But that's ncessarily largely about climate, since that's one of the most notable areas in which the wealthy few are causing significant direct and measurable harm and thus are most eager to avoid the consequences they so richly deserve.
Should they be? Yes.
Will they be? No.
It really doesn't matter what should happen, because the simple fact of the matter is that the fossil fuel companies own enough corrupt politicians to successfully avoid the wholly deserved consequences for their overtly malicious acts.
A child witnesses drug dealers murder his parents. He escapes and grows up wild in the city's slums. Years later he emerges to help the residents of the area who are being terrorized by street gangs and drug dealers.
Stylish mid-80s cheese with a screenplay by the legendary John Sayles, a score by George Clinton and a pretty solid cast.
"Their authoritarianism is bad but our authoritarianism is good."
Said every hierarchist ever.
