I realize that landlords are hosed up and my last one used to trespass and spy on me. However, you still shouldn’t use a forum thread to talk about your specific plans to lure the landlord into your apartment so you can murder them and make it look like self defense.

don't kill him but do find out his home address for when the revolution comes

It all depends on how hosed things get and how far this poo poo escalates. 300k-500k dead easy if this starts another civil war in Iraq.

The Iranian backed "Popular" Mobilization Units that are trained, bought, and paid for by Iran are not exactly popular in a lot of the country. I could see this poo poo devolving into another civil war, but I think the most likely scenario is one where we're forced to leave Iraq and Iran will basically make it a puppet state.

Iran is the only country that could realistically fill the power vacuum

How long will it take to capture Tehran? 2 days
Will Ali Khamenei be killed? Yes
Total Iranian civillian casualties: 500 dead
Total military casualties Iran: 3000 dead
Total military casualties U.S.: 15 dead
Will the Iranian army regulars hold the lines? No
Will the IRGC fight to the end? No
Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes
Will Ali Khamenei launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes
Will Ali Khamenei launch attacks on Israel? No
-If yes; will Isreal retaliate harshly? Yes
Will Ali Khamenei sacrifice Tehran (gas/nuke it)? No
Will the Kurds make a grab for independence? Yes
Will Turkey do anything silly like try for land? Yes
Will Ali Khamenei burn the oil fields? Yes
How long will the US be occupying Iran? ~15 years
Will the Iran war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No
In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world? Good

we have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market.

2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number!

3) A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed.

4) A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode.

5) A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit.

6) A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed.

7) A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.

Wow. This seems incredibly heavy handed and not quite deserved based on the content of this post. I really don't think VV was in any way advocating for the alt-right just because he listens to Joe Rogan.

because Joe Rogan was the loving problem

" April 2017, Harris stirred controversy by hosting the social scientist Charles Murray on his podcast, discussing topics including the heritability of IQ and race and intelligence.[56] Harris stated the invitation was out of indignation at a violent protest against Murray at Middlebury College the month before and not out of particular interest in the material at hand"

Joe Rogan is a dumb meathead who sometimes platforms Nazis, but having it be ban worthy to listen to his podcast is absolutely ridiculous. That's a straight up ban for wrongthink. Same with Ben Shapiro and whatever other people VV posted.

Also Rogan is one of the most popular and most heavily promoted podcasts in the world. I'm a certified "Joe Rogan is a secret fash" believer myself but even given that, if you think most listeners are fash themselves then you have never met his listeners.

Joe Rogan wasn't the problem you absolute poo poo for brains it was the nazis

I’m OK with currently incarcerated people not being allowed to vote as part of their punishment, but it absolutely should not be disallowed post-release. Also the census needs to count prisoners in their actual home area and not whether the prison is located for the purposes of determining representation.

Eh, I don't like the idea of murderers being able to vote but if there are enough people in jail to swing an election then your society has bigger problems

What's happening in China is the same thing that happened to the US when we switched to canning, where food industry grew a lot faster than bureaucracy and regulation can keep up. They didn't need regulation that long ago because they were likely buying local.
