If you're right about what they try to do (I certainly think they are gearing up for exactly that, though like you I agree they won't succeed, and fingers crossed as to if they dare- they probably will) on the upside, the silver lining to all their atrocities they are committing and will only increase- it will go catastrophically bad for them (IMO).

Russia won't be tied up, and Europe will freeze inshallah

They can engage in piracy as they always resort to in the end, but it will cost them- hopefully everything in turn (and I don't think it's out of the question). The Asian vassal states and rogue entities (Japan, SK, Philippines, rogue Taipei) as well as Aus/NZ will similarly have a world of hell headed their way, even if it's just economic, and the entire region will be rightfully pissed and IMO by-and-large understands exactly who is not only behind it all, but fundamentally, existentially, incompatible with the peaceful development and prosperity of Asia. Even India which tries to play both sides and would love to see China trip up is going to see this as yet another slap in the face, after the regime changes in Bangladesh and the ongoing issues in Pakistan no less.

Honestly I don't even think they'll be able to properly "implode Iran." Any troops trying to enter Iran may as well be stepping into a meat grinder, and I think that the spirit and structure of the Iranian revolution (highly flawed as it may be) is well defended. If they try to implode Iran, Isntreal will go down immediately (and even then Iran will still be around- extremely pissed and with some real damage, probably with nuclear fallout whether it be from Isntreal launching the nukes, targeting nuclear sites, etc, or even the west directly acting on behalf of their puppet).

And hopefully, all of this will be the perfect storm, as the landmass of Eurasia (the decent parts anyways) finally and fully are forced to break free of the west and all of humanity starts marching to a future without it. I don't think the bankers/1% will "win" (they'll remain oligarchs in the west or wherever they flee, sure, but their fortunes will be greatly reduced), the political establishment/theater will be even more doomed and precarious than before, and- this is assuming that they don't go full on MAD- the end result will still hopefully, very possibly, destroy YanKKKeestan's viability as a settler-parasite upon the rest of the world once and for all, and with it its MIC, its (and the collective west's) world economic system, etc.

Honestly I'm gay but he's fine AF

True, can't claim I've seen those posts (haven't been on Hexbear that long either, came from the grad) but I suppose they exist. And it is a good point that people with not enough self-awareness (or who just have had enough at a moment) will take those jokes and maybe run with it- not that they can or will do anything with it unlike the reverse, but it is an issue.

I know of that Zionist you're talking about and- well, yeah, it was unjustified as such wholly indiscriminate attacks always are. In their specific case and that of anyone who'd have survived what they did I can't quite blame them for feeling or even acting that way (though they had to be stopped). Feeling the sheer amount of anger and even hate is a natural human response when seeing the west behaving like the west always has, even without experiences comparable to theirs (granted theirs were very extreme) I find myself feeling such things and often consciously reel myself back sometimes and control my words well (and try and generally succeed, minus bitterness, with my thoughts), and certainly don't let it affect how I treat or see individuals.

Fair, and sorry for assuming, then. I think you get where I'm coming from with it- yes, it's a lame joke (and I don't think I've ever even said it myself) but the people who cry about it are infinitely more annoying and (actually, unlike those making the joke) genuinely ignorant IMO

The comment you linked to calls it relatable, explains why it's not wack, and why jokes like this are inevitable, though

Also, a politics of violent revolution makes flippant humor inevitable

This comment explains why I find it not wack... no, people are not literally calling for it, yes, it is an inside joke, and also no, the west is not being "cruelly oppressed" or whatever by hearing people say it (rather the opposite, I think western reactions to it expose their own persecution complex which is a response to some level of denial/dissociation from societal guilt)

and can never happen in America as long as the dollar is king.

Thankfully, this is going quickly down the drain. And the worries of the economy will only matter so long as the American economy meaningfully exists... inshallah that said, probably the best-case scenario is a civil war sometime down the road for whatever reason, I wouldn't expect the US to (relatively) peacefully dissolve like the Soviets nor let go of their 250-year reich without some blood shed (and better internal infighting amongst state elements than it trying to take the world or rebelling populations down with it)

Full and infinite support for the balkanization of the devil settler-state IMO.

Based, this is why I love this site

Depends on who the people blame, but maybe.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Agreed, and since they're marsupials some might even be in the pouch!

Fingers crossed, it's not Drumpf's time to die yet.

Let him win, and let him get up on stage and start talking about avoiding WW3 and the need to impose 100%+ tariffs on all countries that move away from the dollar, and then let him get JFKed on live tv inshallah

Cutest little friendly gremlin-animals. Reminder as always, they can't (almost/effectively never) get rabies, they love eating ticks, and they are North America's only marsupial cat-trans

I feel others could explain it better than me, but it's basically a community resource and a matter of people collectively helping people (rather than completely individualized charity) or so I think? Hopefully others can explain on it better as I feel I'm not doing it justice.
