I think this is an (sub)urban legend. the real reason was to maximize profit and alienation so americans would be good little consumers retreating to the man's castle feifdom with a picket fence while also maximizing profit returns on land.

nonsense. consumer profits thrive on density. everything about selling you poo poo you don't need becomes more profitable with centralization and increased population density

CSPAM might have posters that think i'm an idiot but I'm smart enough to never post in D&D anymore.

I figured that out back when Hillary lost that election. They were rabid. So much anger. Couldn't even hint at making a joke. Best to leave that room and never look back.

I keep hearing the IDF warns civilians before a strike. I know it’s bull shut but how are they claiming this is being done?

By what mechanism is this supposed to be done by? There is no power anymore and communication systems are down.

may have been answered already but their modus operandi is to drop a small bomb on the top of a building and then wait ~20 minutes before they flatten it.

apparently it's called "roof knocking"

The martyr Basil Al-Araj (https://t.me/PalestineResist/5124) once wrote (https://t.me/PalestineResist/13656):

"Never spread the occupation's propaganda, and do not contribute to instilling a sense of defeat. This must be focused on, for soon, we will start talking about a massive invasion in Beit Lahia and Al-Nusseirat, for example. Never spread panic; be supportive of the resistance and do not spread any news broadcast by the occupation (forget about the ethics and impartiality of journalism; just as the zionist journalist is a fighter, so are you)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_knocking

quote:

Adoption by the U.S. military
In 2016, it was published that the US military adopted the Israeli battlefield tactic in its war against Islamic State.[18] It was used in an attack against an ISIS storage facility in Mosul, Iraq. As women and children lived in the house, a Hellfire missile was initially shot at the roof as a warning.[18]

:thunk:

quote:

"We went as far as actually to put a Hellfire on top of the building and air burst it so it wouldn't destroy the building, simply knock on the roof to ensure that she and the children were out of the building," he said.

"The men that were in that building, multiple men, literally trampled over her to get out of that building. And we watched her and observed her leaving the building. And she cleared the building, and we began to process the strike."

The tactic ultimately failed in avoiding civilian casualties. The woman ran back into the building as the second bomb was being launched and was killed, Maj Gen Gersten said.

imo: WW3's already started, we just haven't started calling it that yet

Russia/Ukraine turning into a prolonged conflict was bad news for the world. It's spilling out into other places, across multiple continents, and either directly or indirectly supplied the resources to Hamas to launch this attack. If the conflict continues to escalate outside Israel you'll quickly have other factions in the middle east going to war with each other to stop an invasion of Israel. At that point either the US has boots on the ground, or Israel has already started firing nukes

I'd prefer it if all these conflicts come to peaceful terms soon before they can escalate further or spill out of their borders anymore but that feels naively optimistic at this point

that's not bloodlust tho?? post 9/11 people were doing 'glass the desert' poo poo but by eighteen months later it was mostly high-pitched saddam hussein on south park, not ethnically cleansing two million people from a city

the iraq invasion wasn't genocidal revenge, it was the bush admin's exercise of pure power to do what they wanted to finish off old grudges
