If the US lasts another twenty or thirty years, that's probably how our media will start portraying the Republic of Afghanistan and the occupation there.

The US has never had a shortage of people who want to memory hole any embarrassing facts and rewrite history the way they think it should have happened.

The fact that this happened because settlers keep burning Palestinian fields is amazing. I don't know how you can believe in a god and see that as anything less than divine judgement.

Whatever happened to people asking their parents to record a few messages so they can hear their voice after they've died, or maybe asking for a lock of hair. Our culture is so terrified to talk about or acknowledge death.

The margins are narrow enough that it will be a 2016 style coin flip that's decided by which way the independent voters break, and the normies are too pissed off at abortion bans and too annoyed by Trump to break for him again.

Unless Genocide Joe managed to completely alienate every Muslim voter in Michigan, and the Pennsylvania margin is narrow enough that the Supreme Court can do another judicial coup.

Society is 12 hours of internet outage away from chaos.

I think it could survive a delay. Spiderverse is the only piece of Sony superhero slop that people are interested in, and it managed to build up a massive audience on streaming during the delay between the first movie and the second one. The Post Malone / Spiderverse video from the first movie has more than two billion views on youtube.

The multiverse gimmick is getting so played out though.

they keep doing this psycho shit , bragging about brutalizing immigrants to try to get Pennsylvania, and all it's doing is pissing off their base in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.

well, whatever absolute ghoul is going to be parachuted in as her running mate, they can't be worse than genocide joe

the lathe turns

why are they trying to sell branded merchandise? He's the establishment candidate, he's not leading a fucking movement.

Ukraine was always going to get destroyed under Biden. By the time he was elected there was no possible off ramp, and the ultra nationalists just would not stop shelling the separatist republics.

Trying to sanction the entire Russian economy in 2022 , thereby undoing the Sino-Soviet split . putting Russia, China and Iran into an alliance based on shared grievances , and creating a new center of power and finance in the world for the first time since 1991? That was entirely an own goal on the part of the west.

25k NGO's for 3.7 million people is closer to 1 NGO for every 150 people.

How much of the Georgian economy is just NGO money at this point?

They spent decades trying every possible way to get a deal or some kind of accommodation that would let them live and build something, and all it ever got them was more settlers and more death. Shit, it wasn't that long ago that they tried a Ghandi style peaceful march to the ghetto walls , the Israeli's shot 8000+ of them and the world hardly noticed.

I took a long time to get to this point. Conditions have to become completely intolerable before the average person decides that a fight against jets, drone swarms and automated machine guns is preferable to life under occupation.
