Mellow Seas posted:Just to rehash from previous discussions, 3 derailments is an average day. There are about 1000 per year. As I'm pretty sure has been pointed out before when this topic came up, The trend of the increasing number of rail cars in a train means that derailments are becoming more dangerous compared to years previous

The bloodless ghouls are attempting to make taking bribes from billionaires who love Nazis a bipartisan consensus https://twitter.com/MarkPaoletta/status/1645104294775930880?t=ii77-u0O1xx0Ku0b0wyOPw&s=19 As an amusing postscript, Harlan does not keep his Nazi memorabilia in his Garden of Evil

https://twitter.com/ohshidt/status/1652753881137397760 this is a deeply, deeply sick country. I just cannot begin to imagine the mindset that would lead you to taking shots at someone fishing hundreds of feet away And bullshit " we've had things go missing " even if that was true you're going to deprive someone of their life for that? Honestly I'm not even anti-gun, but I have no idea how you deal with the insanely psychotic mindset of conservatives that every second of real life is kill or be killed

Killer robot posted:Partly true. The Nazis' desire to genocide and repopulate all Slavic lands regardless of existing system of government had as much to do with communism as the people of those lands fighting for their lives against an existential threat. In the Soviet Union's defense, the alliance with the Nazis didn't have much to do with communism either, it was just bog-standard revanchism from a bog-standard imperialist state that had no strong feelings about what the Hitler was doing in his own empire and was absolutely positive the leopards wouldn't eat its face. I'm pretty sure Stalin desperately tried to ally with anyone in Europe before doing the pact, but the liberal governments weren't interested

War profiteering has almost always been viewed as a profoundly immoral act. Lockheed Martin's wars it has profited from have almost completely been targeted at the oppressed and innocent of the global south Very few people are going to give a janitor poo poo for where they work, because it is understood that they do not have the luxury of choice. Your friend has no excuse in that regard

one of the reasons i dont post in dnd much anymore is because the moderation culture is extremely permissive about rampant rape culture as long as the targets are deemed acceptable. the disgusting things posted about tara here have shown that this place is not safe for victims of SA and honestly for women in general. i hope you all are proud of yourselves for carefully cultivating one of the most accepting places to post "this alleged rape victim is prooooooobably a liar" on this entire website (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Misunderstood posted:Just because you don’t want to believe that there would be a political cost for shutting down the war machine doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be. Israel is really popular among older people, who vote at a higher rate. 60% of Americans approve of Israeli air strikes. I do not blame Arab voters for taking this stand right now, but they are relatively few in number and lovely Americans who reflexively root for the whiter team are far, far, far more common, and they don’t all vote GOP. (Not to mention that even absent white supremacist attitudes, an ignorant person could easily be brainwashed by US propaganda to think Israel is just.) the reason that the polling is so alarming is that arab americans are a big part of michigan and georgia's voting population, and there isnt a path to 270 without those states for biden

Aztec Galactus posted:This claim seems to be made without elaboration or any evidence at all, but it does include an advertisement. I wouldn't call this credible https://twitter.com/mstratford/status/1735753940849852867 the claim appears to be credible, but also, what are they advertising? The only link I found was a link to their website with a tool to make a petition to the department of education if that's what you are referring to, I think its a bit disingenuous to call encouragement to petition a government entity "advertisement"

a helpful post from the i/p thread about the so-called history of yemeni piracy:Pentecoastal Elites posted:it's been heavily insinuated and outright stated a few times in this thread that the Houthis have consistently practiced piracy for years (?), and that their naval actions recently have not been attempts to help force international hands to stop the genocide of Palestinians, but merely a cover for the opportunistic self-serving piracy that they want to do and have been doing anyway. So, I went to look up Houthi piracy over the years and this is what I found: If this truly is the extent of their maritime aggressive actions, I think its truly disingenuous to refer to this as a pattern of opportunistic piracy when it seems to be clearly focused on anti-KSA actions, a country they were at war with

small butter posted:Help me understand this. Why shouldn't the US attack belligerents who are attacking civilian ships and putting people's lives at risk? I'm not talking about the argument of getting Congressional approval, just the merits of attacking an aggressor to hamper their ability to launch these strikes. How do you stop them otherwise? Or do you just let them continue? Didn't the US keep issuing warnings for months now? They shouldn't do it because these attacks will do nothing to dissuade Ansarallah but in fact cause an even greater reaction, as the state dept themselves noted in a press release These bombings in fact seem singularly useless for anything but to do something for the sake of doing something. The us absolutely is not going to invade Yemen, and lobbing missiles back and forth is going to do nothing to lower shipping insurance. So the US should not do these actions because they're useless to resolve the conflict

Okay I think we're getting trapped in the weeds of the hypothetical of them just wanting to be paid. Ansarallah has been shouting to the heavens for weeks that they are doing this because of the genocide on Palestinians and they are targeting only ships abetting Israel's trade, and now of course the people who have shot at them. They have been extremely clear about what their goals with these attacks are, and at this point I think it borders on farce to claim they're actually going for a secret payout.

volts5000 posted:I feel like point number two is missing the point of Trump's Muslim ban. Trump's ban didn't give a poo poo about what religion you practiced. He cared about where you came from. So it didn't matter if you, as an Arab-American, practiced Christianity or Islam. As far as he was concerned, if you came from an Arab country, you were not welcome here. Why does it seem like people are sugar-coating the horrible poo poo Trump did while he was president? Because Biden reduced it to them being Muslims and dismissing their concerns about their family being murdered. People tend to get angry at the person doing that
