They need to consult the experts in rocketry: the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Who will win? Hypersonic missiles at $200k each or the over 1 dozen THAAD interceptor missiles it takes to not even stop them at 12.5 MILLION each? Especially when you consider the slower missiles are even cheaper and far more numerous.

During the BLM protests under lockdown as we began to march in the streets we had to tell newer protestors to get in the actual street. It's a funny irony but they did and it was cool. I think there is a natural inclination of most people not to cause a scene. Not to be very disruptive. Not to be too rebellious. And that's okay. Most people want to live a fairly quite and productive life, honestly. Even when they are angry and fed up. That's the job organizers, though. To show them that this is what we are doing and you should participate, too.

Another job of good leftist organizers is to lead some kind of confrontation with the police. I'm not saying violent, necessarily. Be antagonistic, though. It's easy to get the cops to show their "us versus you" mentality. Get the libs to not just see it but to feel that. To realize the cops are against them, too. A major problem with liberals is that they think the police are their friends. It must be dispelled if anything positive will ever happen in this country.

Brother, I have seen the images from Gaza of the zionist attacks on refugees and civilians since they started this war with Iran and it is so awful. My only hope is that these blows to the zionist war machine cripple their ability to continue their brutality against the noble people of Palestine. Be safe and be well, whatever that means in these coming days. I am hopeful change is coming for you and your people.

I would just like to point out that every time the west fucks with Iran they spend years doing all kinds of clandestine economic sabotage to global trade, especially with shipping headed to Europe. Their methods are sophisticated and effective and some of their acts are things we don't even know how they pulled it off and can only suspect them of being behind it.

I chat regularly with a few Chinese netizens on XHS. A couple of things you should know:

  • The US government actually monitors what is said on there and if you say something expressing violent intent towards the USA or it's allies the FBI will visit you and this has been documented happening to a user.
  • The built in translation works pretty good but some notes: misgendering happens a lot and its not intentional (spoken Mandarin is genderless and netizens don't care to correct pronouns in written Mandarin) and Mandarin is very direct and that can sometimes come off as rude in translation.
  • The app itself is pretty unsecure so just assume all communication you do on there is open to everyone and their mother to see.
  • You will learn some Mandarin if you spend enough time on there between just comprehensible input and the occasional video that pops up of someone teaching short, basic Mandarin words and phrases.
  • There are also a few accounts of North Koreans and a few of Chinese students studying in North Korea and it's kind of cool to see beyond the veil into snippets of North Korean life here and there.
  • There is a punk/hardcore scene in Beijing and it's dope af.

So anyways I encourage everyone to do it and see what China is really like. Even though there are many things to criticize about China (they have a long way to go for LGBTQ rights, for instance) there is more to praise and most people walk away with a better view of China than before going in.
