there's something so odious, yet pathetic, about foreign policy fanfiction like this

It's because even in the unfettered realm of their imagination they're bootlickers and it's just so repulsive to anyone with principles

OH! and insurance claims processors were more efficient and less errors!!!

I was actually in Uganda a little over a year ago. Really great country. poo poo government though.

On my first visit to Turkey there was a big Hamas march in Taksim and some cheerful girl gave me a Hamas headband. I hope it's still at my familys place in Florida and they didn't toss it when I left. At the time I was like "look at this wacky thing some rando gave me", but now I genuinely want it on my shelf.

hmmm yes the US could help Israel bomb all the Hamas out of Gaza and would be greated as liberators by the 1 and a half remaining Gazans and then the west bank Palestinians would be happy to negotiate with the Israelis and view the US as honest brokers

i always find it weird that the media, in the west at least, always frames the people fighting against occupation forces and brutal oppression as terrorists and cowards

like during the invasion of iraq somehow the people fighting against the invaders (amerca) somehow became the bad guys, the insurgents, the "cowards". not talking about isis here fyi

whenever i saw news coverage of the invasion id would always think about if it happened here, where a vastly more powerful country invaded us, we'd be calling the people fighting back patriots and poo poo

in short our media is incredibly depraved and garbage

Captive State is one of those scifi movies which are quite obviously based on today, and a fair reflection of how overwhelming the USA or Israel is on a civilian population

I know I saw a video with him talking about lgbtq issues last year but I can't find it. Here's from his 2017 NYT op-ed on Palestinian human rights activists being silenced


quote:

More recently, the National Collegiate Athletic Association refused to hold championship events in North Carolina after state legislators there passed a law that curbed legal protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and set discriminatory rules regarding transgender bathroom use in public buildings. Numerous artists, including Bruce Springsteen, refused to perform in the state; major corporations canceled investments in North Carolina. The voice of boycott in support of civil rights was heard and the bill was repealed, albeit as part of a problematic compromise.

yeah so he's saying trans rights are civil rights

I love Roger Waters

David Gilmour seems alright but he kind of keeps out of the news which is fine.

I'm glad I can still enjoy Pink Floyd without having to like second guess what the lyrics are trying to say.
