Meanwhile FiniteBanjo laughing at us from the good place:

Pretty sure nobody cares, but man as a third world country guy it feels weird as fuck to see these reasonable-looking numbers only to multiply by 50 and get a heart attack.

I mean yes but it's diminishing returns. The rule kind of falls apart at these numbers.

Martyr to who?

His supporters? I mean he has to have those or the regime would've collapsed long ago.

I mean I hate the shit out of Israel and the US but this ain't it. Israel has nothing at all to gain from doing something like this and turning the figurehead (who doesn't actually present a material loss for Iran) into a martyr. This does everything to weaken opposition to the Irani regime and strengthen said regime and nothing to give Israel an advantage in their conflict with them.

As an Egyptian, yes.

So nothing about the claim Biden just made?

Then where's the evidence? Biden lost his credibility the moment he said he saw pictures of the 40 dead babies.

I've never used a Mac but my experience with iPhones and iPads (not mine) has convinced me to never touch anything Apple makes. The requirement of iTunes to send files between an iPhone and a PC is, for example, just ridiculous.

So then what's that case supposed to be?

There is a reason I don’t fly an israeli flag, that’s because I know what it means to you.

Then I'm not sure what there is to talk about. I think we agree on the important point here.

They don't pay because the law is too toothless and the IRS has no money. Vermont is on the right track.

Ok, so when was the last time someone was stabbed over a Nazi flag?

I never defended stabbing people over raising the Israeli flag. The person in the article is mad someone put some paint on a small part of their home. Their safety wasn't threatened in any way. Also making it clear Zionism is not okay does contribute to ending the violence. Israel's genocide (and more general ethnic cleansing project) lives and dies by Western public goodwill.

Even if we take your point for granted (which we shouldn't) this man is raising the flag of a country currently committing genocide. That'd be like raising the Nazi flag during the 40s (or any time period really); it's just socially acceptable for some godforsaken reason.

I wonder if anyone would care if it was ripped down and burnt?

I'd be saying good riddance, personally.

all my peers and I viewed said flag the same way we view the cross

That's seems like a you problem for considering a symbol of genocide (which the Israeli flag has always been) to be a symbol of your faith. The Israeli flag is a socially acceptable Swastika.

car makers just jack up their prices so they make more off the subsidy

Exactly.

And then you remember that the pen was actually the former's and the latter stole it.

Really we should be subsidizing EVs from our own manufacturers.

You are. Still not doing much to corporate greed.

TBF they are pressing their advantage. It seems they can spare the troops.
