WanderingVentra,

Totally worth not having health care so we can support Israel starting wars around the Middle East.
-_-

WanderingVentra,

From the people they’re colonizing. That doesn’t count as defending themselves. I can’t say self-defense when I kill you after you try to punch me because I shot you multiple times.

WanderingVentra,

Agreed. Arcane was the perfect opportunity to bring in a bunch of new players, but they should’ve supported it with new player experiences and tools.

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

WanderingVentra,

Through the pier, the US can pretend to be aid. Tbh, it sounds like something they would do.

Hezbollah vows to escalate attacks after Israel kills a top commander (www.reuters.com)

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, June 12 (Reuters) - Hezbollah fired big barrages of rockets at Israel on Wednesday and vowed to ramp up its attacks in retaliation for an Israeli strike which killed a senior Hezbollah field commander, as the conflict across the Lebanese-Israeli border escalated sharply....

WanderingVentra,

Israel’s backup conflict in case the Gaza one ends?

WanderingVentra,

That’s amazing! What a happy article. I don’t even care about botany but the way it was written made the happiness of the researchers absolutely contagious. I couldn’t help but smile =)

Honestly, I just love to see things we thought were extinct still alive.

WanderingVentra,

Same! So many great things in this video. Not sure which change I’m most excited about, but none of them made me unhappy.

WanderingVentra,

Maybe they need some freedom.

WanderingVentra,

My signal is terrible at work, so the site isn’t loading, but are there any K’Sante nerfs? He’s fun, but damn has he seemed overwhelming at MSI. It’s too much, man lol.

I’ve also had a friend tell me big changes were coming down in league. Is this the patch with those?

WanderingVentra,

As long as the US backs them up they feel invincible. I’m sure the nukes help, too. They’re like Russia.

WanderingVentra,

Strike breaking is a terrible precedent. It makes sure the workers know power comes from above and not from below, which is where it should come from, sucking the power and energy from organizing, which is necessary for when there are less friendly presidents out there.

WanderingVentra,

How about deep sea submersibles? Oh wait, that’s billionaires.

WanderingVentra, (edited )

In other countries. So they ran to Palestine and started killing the people there. You’re not allowed to kill everyone and anyone you want, including innocents ams civilians, just because you were wronged by a completely different population of people once.

WanderingVentra,

They surrendered but then kept getting killed, getting their land taken, and forced into smaller and smaller spaces. Then in those spaces, they were imprisoned, starved, and oppressed and controlled. Human beings want a quality of life Israel won’t let them have. They’ve diplomatically and strategically geographically isolated them away from having a state, had walls built around them, had their food and trade and movement restricted. They get randomly shot or arrested. In the West Bank, they get their food and trees ripped up and their houses taken. You can’t ask a people to sit there and accept that. Even if they’ve been defeated militarily, human beings desire some innate dignity and quality of life. No group of human beings on Earth would accept how Israel has treated them for 70 years. It’s why some ghettos revolted in the Holocaust, or the French resistance existed in WW2. Palestinians want peace, but Israel wants an occupied people to sit there quietly while they get oppressed and slowly lose the rest of their land and are forced to emigrate away from their homes or die.

The last two thousand years? The Ottoman Empire was a refuge for Jewish people for a long time. It wasn’t just a neverending massacre or they wouldn’t have kept settling there from other places. It gave then some restrictions, but it did the same to Christians. And comparatively, they lived pretty good lives and thrived, especially compared to the oppression and massacred they faced elsewhere in Europe. It had the largest Jewish population by the end of the 16th century. They came from Russia, Prussia, ran from Spain because of the Spanish Inquisition, or Portugal, etc. It was way better than living under Christians for a long time. They would encourage each other to move there. It wasn’t until the 19th century that antisemitism started to ramp up there. And most scholars agree the attitude was imported from Christian Arabs, so it’s not just a Muslim thing. It sucks that it started to rise again then, but nationalism does that. It made it worse on both sides, since around that time Zionism started picking up steam, too, and they were buying land and kicking off the native tenants to make a country. Not to excuse the antisemitism, because obviously that is horrible, and there’s a long history of it happening all over the world. But the point is, so many immigrated there because of things like the Holocaust in Germany or the Russian pogroms, then started fighting completely unrelated people and kicking them off their land, like was done to them somewhere else. Same reason that even though I respect the struggle of slaves, I don’t approve of the colonial way Liberia was founded and the way the colonists treated the indigenous people.

Israel is barely a democracy. There are millions of people under their control who don’t get a vote. Their leader is stoking a war and nationalistic fervor to avoid corruption trials. They jail people for criticism, require military service, and have killed more journalists than any recent conflict. They’re an apartheid, settler colonial ethnostate that only exists because of racist and antisemitic Western interests. Gaza is not a failed state, because every attempt to become a state is stymied by Israel, the country that actually controls all their infrastructure, food, travel, sea, and air. Israel as a nation state could easily disappear and be replaced by an actual state with equal rights and equality for everyone in the area, without a single person being killed in the process, if the US and the Israeli people or government wished it. And that would be a good thing for both the Palestinians who could live free, and the Israelis who don’t want to have to worry about being threatened by actual attacks from rightfully pissed people all the time.

WanderingVentra,

More, but I don’t think it gives them the right to genocide innocent people. And it can definitely still be improved, a lot. We should have a higher bar than that.

WanderingVentra,

Israel doesn’t care about Gazans either. If they did, they wouldn’t be bombing every hospital and refugee camp and preventing aid from coming in. Nor would they be preventing them from making a state and having self-rule at every opportunity. Gaza is already condemned when Israel decided to reduce it all to rubble and make public statements about reducing the population from millions to a few thousands. Hamas is just an excuse to raze and then take the land. Without Hamas, you get something like the government in the West Bank, which hasn’t done anything to prevent Israel from taking more land, imprisoning and killing more Palestinians, and failed at every opportunity to get them their own state or a good quality of life, either, because they have no power against the US and Israel. It’s the same state of affairs but slower. So no, Hamas isn’t the cause of Gaza people suffering, it’s Israel.

WanderingVentra,

You’re not wrong. That’s basically what this article amounts to. They held up one tiny shipment while continuing the sale of other weapons and expediting past sales, sending billions more than they held up. It let’s them say they did something in headlines or press conferences without really doing anything substantive.

WanderingVentra,

Holy shit that result. Woo! Go western teams! Haven’t watched them yet, but I’m excited to watch these games!

WanderingVentra,

Does China not have a group for women like Cuba does? It might be a good idea for every patriarchal communist society to have some sort of women focused mass organization, too. And probably an LGBTQ one, too.

WanderingVentra,

Here, here!

WanderingVentra,

You should probably explain how or this comment is easy to ignore.

WanderingVentra,

Israel is doing a literal genocide. It’s hard to get much worse than that.

WanderingVentra,

Depends on the instance.

WanderingVentra,

I’d believe that more if they weren’t on Tik Tok laughing and joking about the horrific acts they’re doing, like demolishing whole neighborhoods, destroying hospitals, and killing people.

WanderingVentra,

Did not expect this result. Pretty good series actually!

WanderingVentra,

It’s not looking great for C9. They might need to change out their coach or something. On paper, their team seems amazing. They’ve been doing well, granted, but not dominating like I thought at the beginning of the split. That usually indicates a coaching issue in my mind.

‘Get on a plane’: Danish minister urged to meet Greenland coil scandal women (www.theguardian.com)

The Danish health minister should “get on a plane and visit” some of the thousands of women thought to be living with the consequences of being forcibly fitted with the contraceptive coil as children, Greenland’s gender equality minister has said....

WanderingVentra,

Nah, they’re just being realistic about what it is being white in a world with systemic racism that privileges white people against other minorities.

WanderingVentra,

Black was forced into being a race by the concept of whiteness. It’s evolved tok have its own culture and everything.

WanderingVentra,

I can’t believe how many white people I see complaining about racism in a thread about Inuit people having forced infertility, ovarian cysts, bleeding, and more. This is pathetic lol. The most sensitive people in existence. Just acknowledging your privilege makes you all go into this weird state. This is why studying history and CRT is important. The Viking user is right. White is not a race, so they’re not being racist.

WanderingVentra,

I heard the Orthodox people in Israel have a ton of kids, though.

WanderingVentra,

Because that’s “communism”. America has gone after countless countries for preventing foreign ownership of goods and services.

WanderingVentra,

Every now and then I also think of some of the jokes I made as a kid, especially at the expense of certain minority groups, and I cringe. But I’m glad we can learn from those experiences and grow, unlike others who double down and say you can’t joke about anything nowadays.

WanderingVentra,

Pentakill!

WanderingVentra,

I’m ready to be disappointed in NRG again.

WanderingVentra,

I love seeing an Aurelion Sol flying around killing people

WanderingVentra,

I guess the idea is that he’d have to be convicted of an insurrection? And then Congress or the Supreme Court would have to take him off the ballot?

I actually get the idea, I just don’t like the inconsistency between this and states deciding their voters (like some not allowing felons). There’s a philosophical inconsistency to it I don’t like about what states control about their own elections. But I also get the fear, because red states would start removing Democratic candidates for no reason.

WanderingVentra,

If it’s purely because they don’t have much worth trading then why not lift the embargo and give them access to world trade, banks, and resources again? What’s the harm?

WanderingVentra,

Then why the embargo? Surely communism would ruin the country enough on its own and they could just lift it…

WanderingVentra,

There’s an embargo on literally everything else that makes it hard to get food, including they have difficulty even transferring money, or getting the parts and machines to grow their own food, or oil to run them.

WanderingVentra,

The US embargo also affects other countries. They don’t let ships dock at Cuba and then the US, for example. The reason they get oil from Venezuela is because they’re also iced out of much of the world market by US through sanctions.

Also, the US is 80 miles off the coast of Cuba and huge. Them not being available to trade with Cuba is a huge disadvantage.
