They’re intentionally set up to be unable to resist Israel.

Hezbollah is designed to fight israeli aggression.

The Lebanese army will never be able to fight hezbollah, because of the two above sentences.

Am I reading this comment correctly that you think institutions used to prop up the ‘lost cause’ mythology of a bunch of cowardly traitors should receive funding from the state in the form of tax immunity through non profit status?

Technically that is basically what all trees are.

Trees are the crabs of the vegetable world.

Allen Dulles.

It’s pretty apparent you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and I’m not going to waste any more time.

Try reading stuff from sources other that what you are, it’s not serving you well.

We don’t disagree. You are factually wrong. I’m not saying that it isn’t an authoritarian state. It absolutely is.but the simple fact of the matter is that the Ayatollah isn’t involved most decisions. His power mostly came into play with selecting who could run in their elections, which absolutely are real with the opposing sides running having significant political differences.

Did he get to set the goal posts for their parties? Yes, absolutely, and that isn’t a full on true democracy. But the Iranian civilians have far far more say in their government than a civilian Russian, for example.

Moreover, you’re debating all of this shit in ignorance to move the topic away from the fact the Iran didn’t have nukes SOLELY because the leader was religiously opposed to them. The religious leader the US and Israeli’s killed. While proving that they are unreliable negotiators.

The only rational view at this point for the average Iranian is to demand nukes.

No, you’re not.

You’re arguing by title to ignore the points made like a sophist. That is explicitly rude, while trying to pretend it isn’t.

Bad faith responses deserve nothing other than the reflection of the rudeness they project.

Stop ignoring everything else I wrote you fucking propaganda poisoned jackass.

Isn’t the president the executive branch?

Jesus Christ, do you have any critical thinking skills?

Because Iran wasn’t a dictatorship.

It had factions.

You know how Iran was always months away from nukes? It was. That was the hard liner faction who believed that only nukes would ensure Iran’s safety wanting to be able to quickly have one if the fatwa was removed.

Did you not know this? If not, you should stop watching/reading the new sources that didn’t tell you this widely available information. They’re not new sources but propaganda sources.

There is no brain worm. That was made up by RFK Jr in court with no medical evidence provided to justify giving no alimony to his ex wife. He them blackballed her in their small community so she had to beg. She eventually committed suicide.

He then stole her body from here family to bury it on the Kennedy plot.

In this thread: people mistaking NRE for “true love”

Love is as much a time based thing as it is work/romance/sex/chemical.

It involves seeing the other person at their weakest and being there to help them, and vice versa. It involves seeing them mistreat you, but you know why because you know them and their triggers and forgiving them. (That last bit can be confused with forgiving abusers, which is not the same. If someone physically hurts you, it isn’t love, and contrition is a required step.)

It involves giving them freedom to make mistakes and hurting themselves and being there to help them up.

It is so much more that delineating it down to ’ I must love them cause I’m not sexually attracted to anyone else right now’ is a cheap and sad way of describing love.

I’m conflicted here.

That employee is a bad fucking person, who shouldn’t be discriminated against because they are trans, but they are working for a bad organization that does bad stuff.

I’m not sure I would care for the rights of an ICE agent?

I guess you should fight against the discrimination so it doesn’t hurt others but also they fucking work for the NSA.

You literally just redefined the word ‘tankie’ when called out for your shitty definition of it.

Also George Washington was a leftist extremist to the British monarchy.

Are you talking about the Taiwanese, or the Chinese colonialists that took over the island from the indigenous population to flee their loss of a war?

Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

So, to be clear, you do condemn Nat Turners slave uprising?

You condemn ANC’s necklacing people? You condemn the terrorism that created Israel? You condemn any violence that results in peoples liberation?

Do you condemn Nat Turner?

Do you condemn the Warsaw Uprising?

I notice you don’t answer those questions because it might make you think uncomfortable thoughts.

Come on, if you’re so moral have the courage of your convictions. Either explain how those were different or condemn them. If not, you’re just a jackass with no moral code other than “this feels icky”

I called you pro-genocide because you are trying to imply that the palestinians are morally the same as the IDF. Get it right if you’re going to try and reference what I said.

You’re literally justifying genocide. Bye.

So you condemn Nat Turner?
