I'm pretty sure LiveLeak used to have 40 hours of IDF sniping children uploaded to it daily
Of course, it would be just as useful if they claimed 0.4 babies or 4,000,000 - the only thing that really matters is they have a unified line the media can repeat ad nauseum for the next month.
This is okay but only if they auto play and contain guttural screaming
In my humble opinion, blaming the continued dismantling of these welfare programs on Joe Manchin or another ghoul of the day™️ isn't actually a 'well informed take' unless you think legislation is a sport Democrats keep mysteriously fumbling at
Tbh I think the vast majority of people that use these sites are just there to mindlessly scroll. I do imagine a lot of their reactions to the protests was to be pissed at the weird basement dwellers disrupting their porn/aww/etc feeds
More than anything, the fact that Reddit absolutely quadruple-downed on steering people to their garbage app at the same time probably drove a lot of that crowd away. I regard it like ~~Twitter~~ X now: just another rotting, closed-off corporate theme park - and I refuse to believe any content I hit a login wall after getting linked to is important enough to deal with their shit.
Every cold war era fear over sleeper agents has been realized with COVID-addled losers having their brainworms activated by rainbows and self-destructing their meaningless lives with nonsensical violence
I'm sorry but this is definitely shit you only say when you're very far from the action. Would you want your grandpa drafted and sent into a minefield to "dissuade the aggressor"? Grandma and the children too apparently, better dead than governed by another neighboring authoritarian shithole?
I think I'd rather just flee with my family to a country right next door that has a nuclear deterrent and NATO membership. Literally why would "they need to all fight to the death instead" be your first thought? I can't imagine it coming from a position where you think Ukrainians are as human as you are.
I have to imagine direct intervention would've happened already if it was going to. Why let the Ukrainians get shoved into a meat grinder first? If you're America: it's good business and sells more guns. If you're actually reliant on the buffer zone then it's really not a game, as you say.
If you want a picture, imagine a spicy op-ed stamping on a trotskyist newspaper forever
This is good bait but I almost totally believe it, the kind of person who spends a decade being told they're a very smart math boy at a top university is extremely susceptible to believing every whim of theirs is genuinely brilliant
That's because they've been brainwashed by a consistently rising standard of living, they don't have free press like us to tell them how they should really feel about things
This is a non-partisan space and I think we can respectfully disagree with each other, but I'd just like to say I'll be writing down anyone who disagrees with this take as a corn-poppist reactionary
Edit: oh shit I just realized I left hexbear and this is now a partisan space?? based
That's ten billion, which seems like a pittance for becoming a march...
The damage from auctioning all their state owned enterprises in the middle of a war to please these ghouls will surely total to more than that.
