From an Isn'traeli settler: "China isn't communist" | CW: Haaretz nonsense
  • I think it's cool: a country that grew from nothing into a vast empire

    Huh?????

    It looked to me like America 200 years ago

    Fucking what????!!

    I wrote papers about China when I was still in primary school

    Papers?? I assume he means something like 'essays', but from the rest of the interview I can easily imagine this person being arrogant enough to call a three-paragraph writing exercise he did when he was nine a "paper".

    Either way, his understanding clearly has not advanced since then. I've never seen someone (who wasn't a paid propagandist) be so wrong, so succinctly about a country, especially one they supposedly lived in. This guy is a fucking idiot.

  • They get allocated, reallocated, and spent elsewhere

    They don't. You can't tag a particular dollar and follow it as it leaves a taxpayer's account, goes into a government account, gets allocated to a particular item of the budget, and then gets spent out again into the economy. When a dollar is taxed, it basically goes into a furnace and disappears. Separately, dollars are conjured out of thin air and sent into the economy by the government.

    The amount of dollars thrown in the furnace in a given day are tallied, sure. But that doesn't determine the amount of dollars the government can create, it only informs it. The government can create as many dollars as it likes at will.

  • The clip that starts at 1:13, with the settler filming from his balcony, seeing a missile hit a couple of kilometers away, then stumbling back into his apartment, pulling back past his telescope, past his enormous TV and into a wide shot of his very nicely furnished apartment...

    Firstly, it's fucking sickening to see the luxury that these colonizers are living in next to the destitution of Gaza, even before it had been bombed completely to rubble. And out of his window is an entire street of high-rises presumably packed with apartments just like this one, every one of them occupied (in every sense of the word) with settler colonists here to live like lords on the back of Palestinian misery.

    And secondly, this guy is going the fuck home. He's here to live an opulent, carefree life, paid for by limitless free capital forged from the sweat and blood of the colonized, or else as a PMC holocaust technician inventing new and ingenious technologies of terror and oppression for the US Empire - being able to see missile impacts from your own front window suddenly changes that equation, by a lot. And every single person in every single luxurious apartment of those tall, tall tower blocks is doing the exact same math as him, right this very second.

    Most compassionate redditors discuss Shamima Begum (CW: SA, trafficking)

    This story sets my blood absolutely boiling every time it comes up. A 15 year old girl was sex trafficked to Syrian extremists, by a people-smuggling ring run by a man later discovered to be a Canadian intelligence asset, was "married" within 10 days of arriving in Syria, had three children before she was 19 all of whom died, and the day after she was discovered alive in a refugee camp and expressed her wish to come home, she was illegally made stateless by the Home Secretary revoking her British passport in the name of """protecting national security""".

    And these savages are literally baying for her blood, gleefully pointing out "It's not illegal because she's not stateless, she can go to Bangladesh, oh but they dispute that she's a citizen and they've said if she goes there they'll hang her for terrorism! Hahaha! pLaY sTuPid GaMeS " !smuglord

    >but she still has extremist beliefs and won't condemn ISIS

    OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES, SHE'S LIVED IN A TENT IN THE DESERT SINCE SHE WAS 15. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DERADICALIZED?? Oh, some fucking "anonymous source" in the Telegraph says she was "an 'enforcer' in IS's 'morality police'"? That's fucked up, did she like do anything or kill anyone though? No? Of course not.

    These same fucking people will then turn around and shed their crocodile tears about oppression in Xinjiang. If she was Chinese she'd have been brought back, put in a deradicalization center for a few months to a year, given teaching on why her extreme beliefs were wrong along with some education and training, and now she'd be working in a garment factory or something, with a long and normal life ahead of her. Instead the compassionate, civilized West has condemned her to a legal black hole, trapped with no future in the desert camp that her children died in, for the crime of being kidnapped as a child by our own spies, to an extremist organization that, as we all know here, is a US project.

    The whole thing is a perfect encapsulation of the inherent brutal, savage cruelty and criminality of western regimes and the bootlickers in their population. I try to remind myself that there are good people here who also think this is a travesty, but when I read this thread I can only get a few comments in before I get the urge, like bile rising up my throat, to scream UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD.

    !inshallah-script the forgiveness they have shown her, will in turn one day be shown to them.

    Here's a real GoPro on the streets of Pyongyang

    Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

    >Video: the most normal city ever filmed

    >Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks... wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! !avgn-horror

    >Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel! !phoenix-objection-1!phoenix-objection-1

    Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies !kim-salute

    Top minds of Reddit discuss the Su-57

    Laugh! Laugh at the inferiority of the untermenschen-crafted weapon! !soypoint-2

    Featuring such golden comment chains as:

    > One a/c on the assembly line. Look at manufacturing sites for F-35 and F-22. Dozens of aircraft lined up. That’s the difference. >> That’s the first thing I noticed. Russian industrial capacity has literally collapsed, I never realized they were this weak. Compare that to their Chinese allies who have been able to produce an impressive number of J20s pretty fast even though the SU57 had its test flight earlier >>> Too many people stealing money and limiting their capabilities. Good lol*

    *not like our trustworthy Raytheons and Northrop-Grummans, of course !edgeworth-smug
