I've called for fire from an AC130 before. It's pretty surreal. You just name a target and moments later it magically explodes. You never see or hear the plane. It made me wonder how the opposition has the balls to attack us. You've got rifles and RPGs. We're magically explode shit over here. What are you thinking?

Some shit definitely said by the good guy and not by an evil minion

Also AC 130 is design specialized solely for raining death on defensless people, they are never deployed when the victims have even a rudimentary anti-air capability like MANPAD.

I don't get how americans watch all the movie slop they watch and can't figure out people fighting back against imperialist aggression. It's literally the country's founding myth.

Americans got mad at the Brits for forcing them to wait another few years before putting their genocide into overdrive, so this pretty much tracks

It’s part of removing the focus on Ukraine. Russia is calling in its favors to create a new second ( Israel) and third front in the Middle East. The efforts are to embroil the US in its own quicksand then ,using more ammo and people, grind down Ukraine during the coming winter.

Is the Middle East prepared to slaughter their own people for “favors”? If yes, how many more?

Is Russia prepared to…. Oh wait.

Why is it always projection: Russia's is using the backwards Middle Easterners to distract and weaken America. Russia is willing to fight to the last Iraqi.

Complete inability to conceive of the idea that people resent us on account of the constant horrific violence we've visited on them for decades on end.

Must be the ruZZians.

they hate us for our treatums

This shit right here pisses me off to no end. Every world event is “looks like Putin called in a favor”

It’s stupid and racist at the same time

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago

It's a weird conspiratorial worldview, i'll say that.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago

Absolutely bonkers thinking. Just totally convinced that everyone who is mean to them is part of a big cartoon villain organization that only exists because it doesn't like them.

Also, notably coherent and unified political entity "the middle east" .

Wow, it looks like the US should stop making its own quicksand. It's a matter of national security. If the US intervenes in the US anymore, then Putin wins

Nah, not gonna click that link. Today I won't trash my mental health.

I have blocked reddit at my hosts file level, I wish people would stop posting links to them without an alternative source.

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

Is there a way I can do that? I thought that was what the bot was for.

[-] asg101@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

I don't know, I have seen some links to other front-ends to reddit, but they still end up blocked for me. Not sure if there is an archive somewhere. I stopped caring about reddit when they stopped caring about their users and mods.

Dear liberals how can you denounce torture when deserving redditors still exist

CW: high readings of Hitler particles.

It's a major point as to why negotiations are barely tenable in the Israel-Palestinian conflict:

Israel is made of a majority group whose core tenets are focused on the celebration life, and doing what you can to ensure that you not only live, but live well

Palestine is made of a majority group whose core tenets are focused on the celebration of death and the after-life, in that you should be focused on attaining the most "honorable" death possible to ensure a better after-life

When the views on how to approach life and death are such polar opposites to each other, it's going to be extremely difficult, if not outright impossible to find a common ground upon which to negotiate.

Edit: Since some people are immediately taking this as a comment of meriting one religion vs another religion, see one my replies here where I explain I'm speaking on a societal level, a step above the religious level.

bonus cringe

Just like Vikings. Just like Crusaders.

Dae genocide of Palestinians is just like my heckling wholesome 100 crusadarinos.

Seal anyone who's ever had a Reddit account in a drum, cover that drum in concrete, dump that in the bottom of disused mine, fill the rest of the mine with concrete, and leave a big sign so that future generations can know that this is not a place of honour.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
