It’s crazy. For a man supposedly so concerned with legacy, he is absolutely shattering his, in the eyes of the younger generations. His Wikipedia page is going to have a whole fucking page dedicated to his enablement of the Palestinian Genocide, and how he enabled what as I see as the start of the next major conflict in the Middle East.
It’s absolutely jaw-dropping how completely wrong-headed he is on this matter. It’s a shocking contrast to how deftly he was able to pull the geopolitical levers to get the world to like up behind Ukraine against Russia. Simultaneously, his pussy-footing on the follow-through there is deeply dismaying. And, of course, his effective grant of carte blanche military impunity to Bibi with regards to Palestine and Israel’s neighbors. It’s fucking embarrassing that our UN ambassador is halting any effective action or sanctions against Israel actively conducting this genocide.
As much as I appreciate large swaths of what he and Obama did with their administrations in a domestic sense, on balance, I think it’s fair to say that their overall global geopolitical performance has been more than a bit lacking.

No, it’s refusing to extend tolerance to people who subscribe to a fundamentally and irredeemably intolerant ideology.
Unfortunately, the structure and nature of our electoral process and state level politics these days make it essentially a given that this sort of thing is going to continue for a while.
Critical race theory communists forced to undergo gender affirming care, to be specific.
Man, Republicans have gotten so deeply weird, it’s crazy
It’s deeply weird that they’re so obsessed with litigating gender identities.
Nah, that’s the paradox of tolerance.
Remember: it’s always a good day to punch a Nazi.
After Texas passed its six-week ban in 2021, Vance heralded the legislation, saying, “We want women to have opportunities, we want women to have choices, but above all, we want women and young boys in the womb to have the right to life.”
Emphasis mine. That particular part of his comment is extremely telling.
Clearly, they never skip leg day.
No, the best way to troll someone is to tell them what you’re going to do, make it clear they can’t do anything to stop you or change your mind, and then follow through.
This is being done in an extremely intentional fashion.
It’s also underlining the value of freedom of speech, which I am also sure is quite intentional.
Wholeheartedly agree.
I also fully expect Biden to acquiesce.
Pretty obviously a fear tactic against their own soldiers to discourage surrendering, because it’s quite well known that UA troops generally try to treat POWs as reasonably as possible. Pretty insane that Russian officers are going to such insane and absurd lengths to discourage desertion and surrender, instead of, you know, doing some actual fucking leadership.
I’m honestly shocked that fragging russian officers isn’t super widespread at this point
Yeah I have to replace the suction side AC line on mine and the OE part alone is about 350-400 and absolutely impossible to find 💀
If everything is illegal, nothing is illegal.
If you’re gonna get thrown in jail if you’re caught regardless, why not go for broke?
I feel like we’re kind of entering an era where direct action and ecology-motivated terrorism are going to start becoming a thing. And I’m honestly not sure that would be a bad thing.
Hey tankie, stop being an edgelord, it’s really annoying
