Definitely. Along with all the other military shooters. I think I once read that the US military actively uses Call of Duty for recruitment (as in, seeks out g*mers directly). It is incredible the lengths this kind of propaganda can go to without raising suspicions, and how much has been built around it.

Thank you for this, comrade. If Hezbollah or other resistance groups act too soon, or when conditions do not align as best they can for their actions, it can unravel whatever plans they may have. While the settlers and imperialists have shown themselves to be vulnerable, they are still the forces that have caused so much unimaginable suffering and are capable of the most extreme violence in their desperation. We on the outside will not know the full extent of the conditions that need to be taken into consideration when deciding military moves until long after this war has ended, I feel. And even if we did, it is not our place to condemn or to criticise the people who are fighting for Palestinian liberation. Have we sent missiles into the settler territories? Hezbollah has, and will continue to do so. It is the task of all people who are not directly fighting the occupation to focus on supporting the people suffering under it however we can. And the organizations which we can influence must be where we direct our criticisms if we care to have an effect on the situation.

"A member of one group told me that if i was really concerned about the liberation of Black people, i should quit school and get a job in a factory, that if i wanted to get rid of the system i would have to work at the factory and organize the workers. When i asked him why he wasn't working in a factory and organizing the workers, he told me that he was staying in school in order to organize the students. I told him i was working to organize the students too and that i felt perfectly certain that the workers could organize themselves without any college student doing it for them.

Some of these groups would come up with abstract intellectual theories, totally devoid of practical application, and swear they had the answers to the problems of the world. They attacked the Vietnamese for participating in the Paris peace talks, claiming that by negotiating the Viet Cong were selling out to the U.S. I think they got insulted when i asked them how a group of flabby white boys who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag had the nerve to think they could tell the Viet Cong how to run their show." ~ Assata Shakur

I tend to not really worry about the US deployment of nuclear weapons at our current stage. If they use them, in a way they lose their leveraging power. Which is why they have been threatened to be used in so many of the wars the US has created, but only deployed twice, when it was only the US who had access to them. I remember one article I read recently that pointed this out in the context of the invasion of Korea. Despite both Korea and China not having nuclear weapons, and the US feeling a strong desire to use them, it never happened, and the US lost anyway. There were strong considerations for using nuclear weapons in the invasion of Vietnam as well, with the same result. It is what Mao referred to when he described the imperialists as paper tigers. When actually pushed, their cowardice is shown. Isn'treal is demonstrating this now I think, given how immensely incompetent its response to the resistance has been, and the fact that it keeps hesitating to send a ground invasion. It is not in their interest to do all the things they threaten to do, I think. At least not yet? It could change if it was undeniable, even to the most deeply unhinged supporters of the settler colony that their own defeat is inevitable. Which, while it seems to us that it may be, to the settlers. there is still this notion that they have the right to what they have stolen, that it is god's gift to them, etc. They cannot imagine a world without isn'treal just as the colonial occupiers of the various African colonies thought their reign was permanent. So their state of panic, I think, is not yet to the point of something as drastic as a nuclear attack.

Logging onto 4chan to express a love for men so strong he wishes to never see a woman again in a purely heterosexual fashion.

It was just an accidental standing ovation for the SS. It happens to everyone from time to time.

What isn't ligma these days? I think that is what we really need to be asking.
