Exactly.

Yeah, agreed. The war in terror has normalised just assassinating people without any due process, we don’t even stop to think how messed up that is.

Also why they keep targeting journalists and social media influencers.

And again, the media is just accepting the logic that just because one of the people is an accused terrorist (which I doubt is the case anyway), it makes it ok to kill everyone around them.

https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2024/11/28/rain-and-protest-dampen-macys-annual-thanksgiving-day-parade-in-new-york Oh look, that was yesterday. Protests didn’t stop? The media just stopped reporting on them?

I mean, it could’ve given them Michigan or something. But the bigger thing is the constant insistence that the economy is great, and trotting out various billionaires and celebrities while snubbing union leaders.

Sure, the numbers show inflation was going down, but people still see that their grocery shop is double from what it was a few years ago, and nobody’s wages have gone up to match that. You need to say something like: “wages need to match the rising cost of living, so I’m going to hire Lina Khan again to continue her work on anti trust, I’ll raise the minimum wage to $25 for both tipped and non-tipped work and instate a moratorium on rent increases.”

You can just store metadata instead of all traffic (most of it is encrypted anyway). Or just store the packets that interest you.

And yet the New York Times refuses to use the words lie or liar.

They can actually just store the data on drives on the snooping device, and then periodically swap out the storage devices with a submarine.

Russians can easily avoid getting blown up by them just by staying in their country.

Elon’s maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

Man, how is this something you just share in an interview as if it’s just a nice piece of family history.

Ah, didn’t know this was only agreed to by Lebanon, not Hezbollah. That’s weird, Lebanon wasn’t even involved as an entity (besides getting bombed by Israel, I guess).

And yeah, your last paragraph is spot on. Someone will fire back, and that’s the only breach we’ll hear about in Western media, never mind the facts.

I knew Israel wasn’t going to abide by the ceasefire as soon as I read the terms. Hezbollah now retreated, Israel has 2 months to basically destroy and depopulate South Lebanon, and when the 60 days are up they’ll find some reason to stay. And by then Trump will be inaugurated, so there’s not even going to be any pretense of pressure from the US to stick to the ceasefire at that stage.

I don’t really get why Hezbollah agreed to this, presumably they should know better?

They’ll be driving multiple cars at the same time, while drunk.

And do you know why it happened on inauguration day and not anytime during the Carter administration? It’s because Reagan promised a better deal for Iran if they didn’t take the one Carter offered.

Nah, let Trump own it, because Israel is definitely going to break it anyway.

Nobody forced Biden to go along with it, or Harris to promise to continue the exact same policies. This is the DNC’s making. The DNC failed their voters, not the other way around. Maybe next time try promising to do popular things, and follow through on the things you promised last time.

I think it’s just a case of people needing to get used to it.

American exceptionalism is really a disease. They think they’re somehow different.

Yeah, funny Israel gets 2 months to retreat. My bet is they won’t.
