    The &quot;moderate&quot; position inside the US Democratic Party (aka The Good Guys) is pro-genocide, pro-oligarchy, anti-affordable healthcare, pro-war and generally agnostic about climate change. In case you were wondering how absolutely fucked that country is.

    The European Union, as it stands today in its allegedly Liberal posture, is a right-wing, pro-war, anti-immigrant, colonialism-oriented institution and its destruction would make the world a better place. &quot;The leaders of 22 of the EU’s 27 countries have called for urgent talks over the Ceuta border breach... And in a letter to the bloc’s leaders, they highlighted a Spanish domestic [migrant amnesty] policy as a “pull factor”, demanding it be eliminated.&quot; https://novaramedia.com/2026/...

    Mastodon dot World going all in on purging my posts about Ukraine, Germany and American liberals without any explanation as to why. So, ah, any other instances worth a go?

    Whenever I am trying to halt a Far Right political insurgency, I find that it is best to behave exactly as the Far Right does in order to achieve my objectives. Spreading the contagion to stop it. Let&#39;s see how it goes. https://theintercept.com/2026/07/30/bob-vylan-germany-deport-palestine-israel/

    I oppose the genocidal empire&#39;s genocide in Palestine, but I support the genocidal empire&#39;s proxy war in Ukraine! I understand how things work!

    World peace, you say? But is it &quot;electable&quot;? Because our consultants indicate that while peace does indeed poll well, for those who are heavily invested in the military industrial complex, war and conflict are necessary evils. Their words, not mine. And ultimately the latter group is our primary constituency.

    I appreciate the gravity of the current situation regarding the Western production of AI and while I also appreciate witnessing the activism and analysis that have confronted that development, I feel like we&#39;re all kind of oddly ignoring the growing pestilence of widely distributed, readily available and almost impossible-to- regulate terror drones. https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/el-obeid-sudan-hospitals-rsf-drones

    In a truly dizzying development, the United States is now floating air strikes against yet another country. This time it is Mali, where the Trump administration is considering attacking French and Ukrainian-linked Salafists who have been actively at war with the Malian government on behalf of their Western backers. One of the goals appears to be attempting to drive a wedge between the Sahelian governments and their Russian defenders. https://news.antiwar.com/2026/07/22/sebastian-gorka-pushing-...

    &quot;The story’s first crime is not that it uses bogus data to back up its argument, but that it offers none while claiming that a “troubling trend” is now “erupting in violence.” ... When newsrooms skip this part, it’s usually because the facts aren’t there, but they refuse to let that spoil a good headline.&quot; https://www.metrotimes.com/news/detroits-teen-takeover-panic-revives-an-old-racist-media-playbook/

    If you helped pave the way for genocide, the only thing I want to hear out of your mouth, and preferably from your knees, is an apology followed by a resignation, then followed by all the dirt you have on your co-conspirators. But from a policy perspective, you failed, son. That&#39;ll be all...

    A beautiful paragraph - &quot;During the [Obama administration], the [US] began providing Saudi Arabia with critical support to &quot;sustain&quot; the Saudi Arabian–led intervention in the Yemeni Civil War... expanded during the [Trump administration]... Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill in 2019 aimed at stopping U.S. support... Joe Biden vowed to halt U.S. support for the war, though U.S. arms sales... have continued. From 2015 to 2019, Saudi Arabia was reportedly the largest importer of U.S. a...

    The fact is that Marco Rubio is a far more committed fascist than Donald Trump, being far less distracted by market considerations and country club memberships, Rubio has the bandwidth to remain laser-focused on raining terror and installing colonial outposts across the globe. And still, despite all that, he was given 100% US Senate approval during confirmation. Perhaps there&#39;s a lesson in there?

    RE: https://mastodon.world/@Shebeencounter/116930027573402982 Reminder that China&#39;s version of GPS allows missile operators in Iran (or anywhere) to outmaneuver US THAAD/Patriot systems allowing for detection and course correction mid-flight which is why US forces are in active retreat across West Asia. And this is why Israel&#39;s ass remains on the sidelines - Iran would be pummeling targets across occupied Palestine with relative systematic ease if Bibi Dog were let off leash.

    You know why Europe backed regime change in Venezuela? Any ideas as to why they are so supportive of far right regimes taking over across Latin America? Explanations as to why they are virtually silent on Cuba? It&#39;s because just like in West Asia and Africa when similar developments emerge, Europe stands to materially benefit from the new arrangements. So next time Human Rights are invoked, understand that if that is at all a factor, it is a distant one to money and resource availability.

    &quot;The kickbacks are enormous. The profits are 50 to 100 million dollars a month... On Zelensky’s side, this is simply an attempt to redirect the flow of money, to channel millions of dollars toward people in his own circle. This is simply a battle over money, a battle between complete bastards.&quot; Lol to Europe pretending that this is about bringing the most corrupt country on earth into NATO due to shared &quot;values&quot;. Unless those values are a shared desire to destroy Russia. W...

    Every time the War Boys get together, it is so staggeringly obvious how 1. Subservient Europe is to a full-on fascist military empire in the United States and 2. how oriented this group is to an anti-democratic and pro-colonialism perspective. This is a collective currently waging a catastrophic proxy war, collaborating with terrorists in Syria, Sudan and Mali and that is actively waging economic warfare upon dozens of states. But to the average midwit - these are the Good Guys.

    I&#39;m a white Jewish man from just outside Kansas City, Missouri, USA and it is my sincere, deeply held belief that I have the unique, inalienable right to purchase land, 10,000 kilometers away, that was recently stolen from a violently dispossessed brown family primarily because they are not Jewish. I&#39;m sorry, why do you think that is racist? If anything, it is you who are racist for opposing my absolutely ludicrous, indefensible position on the matter.

    Freedom of Navigation, just not for Palestinians trying to fish 50 meters from the Gaza shoreline. Freedom of navigation and commerce, just not for Palestinian textile manufacturers who are prevented from moving their goods across the border for distribution. It&amp;#39;s all so galling and the cowardice alongside the duplicity are both intolerable and unforgivable.

    I hate Barack Obama as much as I hate Joe Biden as much as I hate Donald Trump. The difference is that Trump knows he&amp;#39;s being a pig when he shoots from the hip. Obama thinks he&amp;#39;s being profound. And Joe Biden thinks he&amp;#39;s at an IHOP.

    Kind of think being anti-genocide and anti-pedophile should be a baseline requirement for running for office in any so-called Democracy, but it seems like the entirety of the Western world is finding it very challenging to stock its political shelves with anything but pedophilic, genocidal monsters. But hey, uh, yeah make sure you vote for the lesser of two evils or whatever.

    Iran is currently the only entity who can, and who is willing to, stop this pernicious recurrence from continuing unchecked. Europe, Australia, North America, East Asia will just watch as the agreements that they broker are violated on a daily basis. But Freedom of Navigation? Well, that&amp;#39;s the cardinal rule demanding enforcement. Not the baseline rules that keep people alive, sheltered and nourished. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-security/2026-04-19/ty-article/.premium/like...

    India sat by quietly and watched as the US Navy fired on an unarmed Iranian naval ship, claiming the lives of upwards of 100 sailors. Its oil can sit there for eternity as far as I&amp;#39;m concerned.

    &amp;quot;Just War Theory&amp;quot; being brought up once again to defend US aggression, and this time by such a principled and devout follower of Christ such as JD Vance, should hopefully put that dogshit notion to bed in perpetuity.
