@thickestwrists and i think the taliban proved to us, like the viet cong 30 years ago, it doesn’t matter how “strong” or powerfully advanced a military is
@thickestwrists one of the dumbest things i’ve ever seen. gave the russian delegation opportunity to scrutinize our F-22s. that 10 second flyover cost us taxpayers ~$2 million. it’s not like russia doesn’t have the Sukhoi Su-57 which is arguably more powerful than the F-22.
@K6969100@jasonllevin “drove up inflation”… inflation skyrocketed in 2021 due to Covid and the previous admin’s policies (tax cuts for his rich buddies and corps). inflation went down rapidly between 2022 and 2024. as biden left office, growth and employment held up while inflation continued to cool
@MartinLukasMD@keimiasmoon@uncannypolo@NEETOCRACY the ancient egyptian empire, the empire of kush, the mali empire… just to name a few. please do some research before spewing racist nonsense online.
@MartinLukasMD@keimiasmoon@uncannypolo@NEETOCRACY some of the greatest civilizations (and arguably THE greatest) were formed in Africa, but i wouldn’t expect someone who uses the term “mud people” to be knowledgeable enough to know that
@thatsKAIZEN If you had strangled that homeless man in Santa Monica, you’d deserve to go to prison. I’m sorry, but you can’t go around killing people because you feel unsafe around them. Neely was unarmed and did not physically attack anyone.
@ARandomMike13 @MarkBatsonMusic@areallycoolspot@elonmusk you should ask yourself why most confederate statues were put up ~100 years after the war, during the civil rights mvmt… what message were the racist whites trying to send to the uppity blacks who were struggling to gain equality? those statues are symbols of terror and hate.
@ARandomMike13 @MarkBatsonMusic@areallycoolspot@elonmusk yes… your point? I said we shouldn’t erase the slave-owning/supporting traitors from our history… tear down their statues from public squares and put them in museums to teach our children about one of the darkest moments of our history.
@ARandomMike13 @FatherAgnostus@MarkBatsonMusic@areallycoolspot@elonmusk What? He was the general of an army that was formed to fight against America because America was telling them they couldn’t own people anymore. And he himself OWNED other human beings.
@rufusjonz@kande202@CourageHabit@Rachel__Nichols I didn’t know Jews were forcefully brought to the US, enslaved for centuries before having to deal with Jim Crow for decades… study US history and you’ll realize that no group in America has faced even a fraction of the hardships endured by Black and Native people.
@FatherAgnostus @ARandomMike13 @MarkBatsonMusic@areallycoolspot@elonmusk They were fighting for the right to own human beings. You can sugarcoat this any way you like. You build statues for those who deserve honor, not those who see others as subhuman, so much so that they think they have a right to own them, whip them, rape them, lynch them…
@UnveilVox@GabeHoff ah so you don’t mind immigrants who cross the border illegally, but work hard and contribute to society? i think you’ll find that a large portion of illegal immigrants fall into this category.
