It’s a thought stopping strategy, define a negative term to exclude the things you want to defend or normalize. Similar to how they used to teach about “alcohol, tobacco, and drugs” in school like the former two aren’t drugs, almost certainly influenced by alcohol and tobacco lobbies putting pressure on school curriculums.

I’ll take what they keep accusing North Korea of for $420, Donald

Stop making ridiculous comparisons. Dogs are cute when they beg.

All attempts to discover how the universe works benefits us. Even a lot of really esoteric stuff has proven useful in fields like medicine and civil engineering.

Honestly if we can pivot our high tech innovation efforts from being mainly driven by military needs to being driven by basic research (basic in this case meaning researching the natural world directly without any particular goal other than learning), we’d be a lot better off.

Central park used to be an “”“urban blighted”“” black community that was destroyed IIRC. Really unsavory stuff.

They’re trying to bring about the end times.

47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end

He thinks exterminating them is saving them.

Campy low budget sci-fi movie villain ass piece of shit.

Why would he agree to having a movie made of him? Now everyone knows it’s a dream if you see him so it doesn’t matter. Is he stupid?

Why would I not like PCM? How else are you going to sample your audio? /s

Were they… Were they saying China should join the Iran invasion?

Someone IRL asks my opinion on some politicical issue, I pretend to not be in the know to get them to drop it, and they take it upon themselves to “educate” me on it.

Last time this happened was about recent trends in Indian immigration to Canada. You can probably guess which side they were on. Also, they’re an immigrant and so am I.

What was it? Something generic about how “they’re falling into Chayna’s trap” or “wrong side of history” or worse?

EU is truly backwards. Speak out against genocide? Sanctioned, bank account frozen, arrested. Lay waste to a country without provocation? Polite warning, it’s okay if you don’t heed us actually we’re sorry for bothering you in that case.

I’m sure all the Iranian officials are on Truth Social. Yeah, that’s the platform of choice to get through to them.

You think Iran wants this war? You think they’re welcoming their country getting laid waste to because it means they get to kill some Americans? They’re not the ones who started it and they don’t have the power to stop it. You want it stopped? Maybe focus solely on the US instead of this both sides victim blaming bullshit.

If you were a teacher you’d probably be the kind who sees a kid beating up another kid and suspends them both because the kid getting beat up tried swinging at the attacker after they already started beating them up and “all violence is wrong.”

Trains? So you’re more than one?

Living the dream.

Not an excuse. Not even in the slightest. You don’t get to kill people to feed yourself. Would you defend poor people joining gangs and cartels?

The Reddit culture of just hating on random people’s objectively harmless hobbies/interests/preferences. Think “snark” subreddits and similar. And if you call them out on it suddenly you’re the problem.

Channel that hate toward things that actually do harm if anything.

Self defense. They rained death on Iran first.

You know how you prevent those deaths? Stop ducking invading Iran. Those deaths are completely on the US’s hands.
