Please really try to watch what Russia does to Ukraine.
Please read this.
Mostly just incredibly vindictive, misguided, hateful and miserable losers.
Who believe in a dead and burried failure of an ideology.
Trying to whitewash it, but the bloodstains won't come out.
So their answe is to erase people who actually live and lived in communism and are dealing with consequences of it today. We have to be demonized, dehumanized and buried, do their privileged Western asses can continue to role play as revolutionaries, doing nothing of use for their own homeland and the world in general.
Sad really 🙃
I am only newly acquainted with online streaming politics. I do recognize various "camps," but don't know them well. If so-called "Leftist" streamers engage in this type of harassment of Ukrainian women, they need to be scorned from all discourse. "You will be Russian rape meat."
.@UkrainianAna is on the ground fighting for Ukraine. Which is a fight for democracy and the Western World. We know what Russians do to Ukrainians. We know about the rapes. The tortures. And this is how the "Leftists" in the streaming world respond. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/UkrainianAna/status/20…
OK, since people continue the gaslighting, I have spent my precious time on this Earth compiling what his chat was saying.
These are not comments from the entire stream mind you lol
Just comments my friend screenshoted from the part of it he watched.
And this doesn't include just insults and negativity (cause that's not a big deal).
So... How's that for "my chat actually loved you" and was totally "just expressing disagreement" and most certainly isn't composed of deranged Ukrainian hating Zio-Jew obsessed commie freaks?
Omg. My desktop twitter has been fritzing out today so I've done at least three "vague" posts meant to be replies. Sorry/Not Sorry?
I feel like we need to develop new categories beyond "jumping the shark" because shark-jumping happened a long time ago for this guy but this is still a bit much, even compared to a "jumped the shark 6 years ago" baseline.
If you like Ayanna Pressley and her politics, you should want to protect her from the Speaker position at all costs and to advocate for her to succeed Markey or Warren as Senator. That is the pathway to push your individual brand/ideology. Not the Speakership.
DSA out-organizes online and wins primarily low turnout primaries. Regular constituents don't actually anticipate challenges to well-liked Representatives and the Representatives don't anticipate them either. The position isn't supposed to have constant turn-over/proxy-fighting.
There is something seriously wrong with these people. They're also making money off of this. It needs to stop. Cut them off.
Here is a photo of my siblings and me welcoming my mom back from a trip to the Soviet Union. The script on the banner says, "Here comes Mommy." I'm on the left. If you have questions about what exactly was going on here, so do I.
Whatever else you might think, it's absolutely true that Hamas is essentially invisible from all coverage. It's kind of insane once you start seeing it. There are a lot of people out there watching the news who just think Israel is the only agent.
LonerBox responds to Noah Samsen and SoyPill selective framing of the Israel-Palestine conflict:
"Imagine you're watching two guys having a fucking street fight, but as a spectator, you can only see one side. The other person is invisible. If one person is erased from the situation, the other person looks fucking insane, like some weirdo flailing around aimlessly."
"That's how the Israel-Palestine conflict is viewed in the West. Israel is the only side people see doing things, while Hamas, armed groups, and the political discourse on the Palestinian side are completely ignored."
"You'll hear crazy shit from both sides, but people will cherry-pick the most extreme Israeli interviews and present those as representative of the entire conflict, while completely ignoring the other half."
"If you do that, Israel starts looking like some quasi-Nazi state that's bombing houses and destroying Gaza for absolutely no reason. And if that's the only perspective you're exposed to, why would you ever have a nuanced opinion about Israel?"
Doesn't sound like a man who's had dementia for the past two years.
President Biden in the new interview: “Look, I don’t know anybody who hasn’t made a mistake in a debate. To me, it was not very consequential. First of all, I thought there’d be another debate, which there wasn’t. But notwithstanding the fact that there wasn’t another debate, it didn’t disturb me because it wasn’t consequential.”
Yeah, being able to wander around the mall with your friends was a societal good that we never really recognized.
I can't handle leadership discourse. People are suddenly VERY passionate about something they know nothing about. The mismatch is esp irritating given Leadership is where popularity goes to die. "We NEED new leaders!" So they can become unpopular too? Also we've done this before.
This is great. I'd argue that we should stop the decline of video game stores like we should have stopped the decline of malls. Anything that's physical & communal in this world should be fought for. Especially given issues of loneliness. The decline of malls was bad for society.
The shift toward digital-only gaming is restricting gamers’ affordability and access to their own games.
Imagine purchasing a video game, only to discover a few years later that you can no longer play it—even though you paid for it.
I am introducing the Power to the Players Act to defend your right to own, transfer, and play the games you purchase.
It’s time to return power where it belongs: to the players.
