Israel flattened Beirut in 1982.
No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then.
Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.
Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”.
They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons.
Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade.
Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick.
Own it.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
This is a mink. Most people never see or hear about them because millions are bred on fur farms, where they spend their lives in cages before being killed for their fur... 😔
Este é o momento p lembrar que, durante a pandemia, qualquer pessoa com QI um pouco mais alto que questionasse a porcaria q chamaram de "vacina" era imediatamente classificado como "antivacina" -- o que é equivalente a chamar de anti-comida quem critica os ingredientes do Cheetos
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
@rtnoticias_br Luxuoso. Aqui no Brasil só funciona bets e influencers. Lá fora os ricos investem em empregos, tecnologia e o resultado é riqueza para vários lados.
I told my daughter she had to pay $400 a month to live at home after college. She thought I was being hard on her. Paid it every month without complaint. Never missed once.
Two years later she moved out. I handed her an envelope. $9,600. Every dollar she ever paid me. Plus a little extra.
She cried. I told her that was her security deposit, first month, and emergency fund.
She thought I was punishing her. I was preparing her.
She’s a very happy young woman.
@margaretmelonii Muitas incorporadoras com acesso privilegiado procura saber se os imóveis estão com débito em IPTU, e assim pressionam os proprietários a vender antes que entre em exec.fiscal e por preço de banana. Aqui no RJ o valor territorial vale até 11x de um predial, just para se desfazer
