What the fuck kind of logic is this shit?

They have nukes. During the cold war the nuclear option was the thing that terrified everyone. Israeli right now is a full blown Rogue state that abso-fucking-lutely will go nuclear if the US pulls support. Forget about the communist-capitalist thing, it's about some crazed colonialist who believe they should have everything or no one has anything.

You know what this reminds me of? There was some cheap ass webcomic in the very early 2000s that had an Amish protagonist. I only remember a single comic where the main character is watching TV and has some pundit say that poor and homeless should be shot. Then our Amish hero sets the pundit's house on fire rendering him homeless.

The pundit declares himself poor without his house and is promptly shot by his own followers because they made good his beliefs on shooting the poor and homeless. It was actually kinda funny.

But that being said, it amazes me just how often people forget the lessons of the past. The great depression seriously changed America's views on poverty being an entirely individual failing for many, many decades. Even into the Nixon administration he had to remind everyone that he was a New Dealer and wasn't going to roll back any of that shit. They had to wait until baby boomers, who did not grow up in the depression and were the ungrateful beneficiaries of the numerous programs in its wake, were the main voting block before beginning to roll that shit back.

It's also kinda incredible just how the libertarian and conservative propaganda apparatus really nullified most criticism of this shit. While that was always case even back in the 1930s, it was never to this extent.

A holocaust denier or Nazi might claim that her death was due to natural causes. Ignoring that the reason why she got typhus is due to the horrid conditions in the camp and her lack of treatment in it.

Meanwhile your Nazi friends actually set fire to monuments and historic landmarks and people somehow still blame refugees.

Fuck you.

Greta is a shining light of inspiration for every autistic person out there. I was in my mid-30s when she rose to prominence and I want to say that when I grow up I want to be her...

Not just his ass, but his brain, too.

Hypothetically, if China did have a hurricane gun, what benefit does it give them to constantly shoot it at the US? America is one of China's biggest trade partners. It is highly counterproductive for them to do it.

They do need to defund them if they are paying for this shit.

The only way that makes any sense.

The nuclear bombing of Japan didn't need to happen. They were already willing to surrender even before that.
