@_orderofnight_ @BennettJben1990 I mean, I have very low opinion of the current government but even I don't think they are dumb enough to try and occupy southern Lebanon.
For a paramilitary group with quasi state structure, yes, this sort of thing is pretty crippling.
And also, no the US was not defeated by rice farmers in Vietnam.
not many people know this but if you kill the leadership, historically speaking, the guerilla group all give up and stop fighting if you kill the guys at the top. amazed this isn’t more widely known.
Just so everyone's clear, in this survey men age 18-29 say they are voting for Kamala Harris 53% to 36%. The "turn right" is about whether they use the term "liberal" or not and the fact that the 18-24 men show as slightly more conservative than age 25-29.
I cabt remember the exact movie, but there is a French-Russian co-production from the 1990s which features a French guy raving about Soviets not caring about consumer goods, and his hosts answer something like dude we spend all our times scheming how to get windshield vipers.
Imagine if there were only 1 brand of peanut butter, 1 brand of pasta sauce, etc. Rather than spend your time in the grocery wondering "Which brand shall I buy?", you'd have the mindspace to wonder: "What person shall I become?"
I miss when accounts called “Awesome Jew” or like “the skateboard Hebrew” were just posting cute shit like “I delete cookies on my iPhone for Passover” and now theyre all “I saw an Arab on Double Dare @ FBI”
Like I don't feel oppressed or see Christmas music everywhere starting in late October being expression of Christian nationalism. But I reserve the right to be mildly irritated by that!

The sophisticated urban liberal sees religious fascism in the most banal expressions of Christian faith, yet would never be so judgmental of a “foreign” religion. It’s a strange mirror of the conservative who views any expression of non-Christian faith as woke and satanic.
@JJ0414831582803@Miyhnea Labor Zionism was an extremely Eastern European phenomenon- it literally grew out of the revolutionary circles of revolutionary Russian empire. Ahad ha'am was sui generis, so good point on that.
@DmactotheD@Halalcoholism As for law, obviously the Obama administration was opposed to it, but the Obama years saw massive wins for conservative Christians in the courts on every issue besides gay marriage.
@NoisyTroublemkr @BaptoHammer Oh my God you absolutely triggered me with your razor sharp wit. You are air a valian general winning the war of ideas with facts and logic , and not at all a sub - moron.
@jaredpretender@agraybee Like if "able to win support from large part of other party base" is the test, Eisenhower must be deemed a charisma superstar.
@jaredpretender@agraybee JFK didn't have wide appeal from a large segment of the opposing party though. He won in an absolute squeaker of an election .
