Fandom Problem #15,798:

Its like a marble of pus and blood is on his ear

Hes been like this for a few days

Like, imagine thinking a nation the size of New Jersey controls the most powerful nation on the planet, and not that the most powerful nation uses this nation as a proxy for its interests.

This brings me to the Kentucky election, where we have the Trump pick against the Democrat pick, but because the Left, and Horseshoe right both loathe Jews, the election has been reframed as Israel Vs. Democrats.

Oh, and I say Massie is the Democrat pick, because he votes with them on everything, rallies against the GOP, battles against Republican pushes against immigration, and he has the backing of every Democrat, and all of their talking heads, he is even backed by Cenk Uyghur.

The man opposite him is Trump's pick, Ed Gallrein, was a Navy Seal, served 3 decades, was raised on a Dairy Farm, and continued to farm after his service, only to leave the farm to run in this election to support Trump, and represent his state.

Here's the US Congress giving a standing ovation to every sentence Netanyahu speaks, which has never happened with any other foreign speaker. It's more reminiscent of how Stalin's speeches were treated than that of a US puppet.

Then there's the attack on the USS Liberty, which was an attempt to false-flag the US into the war against Egypt. That is not the action of a puppet state.

Then there's Israel's violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty by developing nuclear weapons and not allowing independent inspectors access to them.

And just for fun, here's Biden kneeling to Netanyahu. Yeah, these are the actions of Israel's master.

The attack on the USS Liberty was not a false flag, it was a case of friendly fire during a war, specifically the 1967, 6 day war.

Israel apologized for the attack, claiming that a failure in communication led its naval headquarters to realize the ship was American at least three hours before the attack, but this crucial information never reached the pilots or naval forces that carried it out.

Israel subsequently paid reparations to the US, and the families of the victims.

Israel never signed, or ratified the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, international law dictates treaties only bind signatories.

Because Israel never signed or ratified the NPT, it has no legal obligations under it, and did not violate it.

That's Biden kneeling to Rivka Ravitz, not Netanyahu, Biden is kneeling to her, because she's Orthodox and can't shake hands with a man, and so this is what he chose to do since he couldn't shake her hand.

To believe the US is Israel's slave is not just asinine, it's tantamount to a mental disorder.

Israel relies heavily on billions of dollars in annual US military aid and crucial American diplomatic vetoes at the United Nations, a client state does not control its primary superpower benefactor.

American support for Israel persists because Washington views Israel as a stable, democratic proxy and intelligence-sharing partner in a volatile region.

This is a lie. The Liberty was flying an American flag, and was overflown by Israeli aircraft several times prior to the attack, low enough "to rattle deck plating". After Israeli cannon fire shot off the US flag, the crew hoisted another large flag, which the gunboats supposedly did not see before they began attacking with more cannon fire and torpedoes.

The Liberty had American markings, was flying an American flag, was reconnoitered by low-flying Israeli recon aircraft prior to the attack, and Israeli gunboats tried to finish it off at close range. That's not an accident. That's deliberate action.

>Israel relies heavily on billions of dollars in annual US military aid and crucial American diplomatic vetoes at the United Nations, a client state does not control its primary superpower benefactor.

"Jewish influence in the US government secures billions of dollars in tribute to Israel every year, while ensuring that the American veto is always used to secure Israel's interests in the UN."

>a client state does not control its primary superpower benefactor.

And now you're agreeing with me. :)

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Baltic Fleet was transiting the North Sea en route to the Far East.

Russian warships mistook a fleet of British fishing trawlers for Japanese torpedo boats, the Russians opened fire.

They sank one trawler, damaging others, and killing several fishermen, nearly provoking a war between Britain and Russia.

Shortly after the Vietnam War ended, the US-flagged container ship, the SS Mayaguez, was seized by Khmer Rouge forces in international waters.

Believing it to be a spy vessel, Cambodian forces held the crew.

During the subsequent US military rescue operation, US aircraft mistakenly bombed a Cambodian boat carrying the released American crewmen back to safety, though miraculously none of the freed crew were killed by the strike.

During the Iran-Iraq War, the US Navy guided-missile frigate was patrolling neutral waters in the Persian Gulf.

An Iraqi Mirage F1 fighter jet mistook the vessel for an Iranian commercial tanker and fired two missiles.

The attack killed 37 American sailors and severely damaged the ship, though the United States accepted Iraq's apology that it was a tragic error.

During a peacetime NATO naval exercise called Display Determination, the US aircraft carrier USS Saratoga accidentally fired two missiles at the Turkish destroyer TCG Muavenet.

The Turkish ship was completely uninvolved in any active conflict, the missiles struck the bridge, killing five Turkish officers, including the ship's commander.

These things happen due to miscommunications, the fog of war, and misidentification.

In the heat of war, it's very easy to mistake a vessel for an enemy vessel, especially when you're fighting four other nations with different flags, mistaking a US ship for an Egyptian one isn't farfetched, but you are one to attribute malice on Israel's part because you have an innate hatred of it.

AIPAC isn't Israel, it supports Israel, but the donors that are involved in it are Americans, in fact, only one donor is Israeli-American, Haim Saban, while the rest, minus him and a Ukrainian migrant, are American born.

Under federal election law, AIPAC and its political arms are funded exclusively by American citizens, as foreign nationals, corporations, and the Israeli government are legally barred from contributing.

Even then, Israel relies on billions, AIPAC donates up to $3-3.5 million annually for lobbying.

Now, you can claim it's more due to the PAC it is a part of, that donates up to $37-43 million in contributions to political campaigns.

AIPAC’s donating and lobbying activities are not evidence of Israeli control over the US, but rather reflect the standard operation of domestic political interest groups within the political system.

Incorrect, by stating a vassal state does not control its global superpower benefactor, I'm stating Israel does not control the US, as Israel is not a global superpower, it is a regional power.

I never said you were mentally ill, I stated believing that Israel controls the US is tantamount to a deficiency of the mind.

>You don't have to believe that jews control the USA... even though they are in embedded like ticks in every level of government from Trump's Cabinet, to congress, all the way down to the city level.

"Jewish people are commonly found in American government, therefore Jews control the American government to support Israel."

That's not how it works. Jewish people aren't some secret conspiracy who all take their marching orders from the grand high Zionist Rabbi.

And if you sincerely believe that, you're going to have to work on your presentation, or anyone remotely familiar with centuries of antisemitic conspiracy theories is going to go "hol' up".

>"Jewish influence in the US government secures billions of dollars in tribute to Israel every year, while ensuring that the American veto is always used to secure Israel's interests in the UN."

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

Everyone quoting this number is quoting what certain people predicted would be the number after a year without aid. I have never seen anyone cite a number that was not a projection written beforehand, based on estimates of what would happen with no aid.

Except that isn't what happened.

The "dissolution" and "aid freeze" were constantly tied up in the courts instead of being implemented. Marco Rubio was put in charge of USAID, and despite being a Republican, he is an actual human being who would show activity on an EEG and not an arc node of Trumpism. He issued waivers to keep funding the "critical" lifesaving operations of USAID going during the funding freeze, regardless of the courts' decisions. His explicit intent was to dissolve USAID as he saw it as a wasteful and counterproducrive program, but incorporate the parts of USAID that actually were useful (like these programs) into the State Department. From other pages linked on the same site, he appears to have done that. Rubio's "America First Global Health Strategy" lays out an extremely reasonable argument for what he is doing and why. He even goes into specific detail about how great PEPFAR is and why so much of its budget is being wasted on buck-wild overhead costs and inefficiencies instead of integrating local services.

The moral reason is that "refrained from rescuing" is not the same thing as "killed"; the equivalence is made up by people who will grab onto anything to Get Trump but they never apply the same standard for e.g. the Obama Presidential Library "killing" thousands of people by spending that money on something other than aid. (Except for like five Effective Altruists.)

The practical reason is that we don't have to lean on hypothetical "sophisticated modelling tools" any more now that we have data from countries that got their aid cut, and the data indicates the model was wrong, the projected deaths didn't happen.

Any NGO that had to lay off hundreds of people when the USAID check failed to come in one time is either a scam or so catastrophically mismanaged that it should not be getting that money to begin with. Not only does anyone need the ability to deal with unexpected expenses and losses, groups in impoverished African nations should expect major disruptions to their supplies and funding to happen. It's why you need to be there at all! When over 2/3rds of the money is going to administrative costs, and you respond to a disruption in funding by firing thousands of health care providers forever instead of firing administrators or furloughing administrators, you're either a scam or catastrophically mismanaged! All the news reports talking about this all said something to the effect of "these health providers are gone and fired and not able to provide health care any more ever," as though a temporary funding disruption made the NGO lose their fucking pager numbers.

If I remember correctly, the assertion ultimately comes from a USAID report - which I had some trouble finding, because, uh, all the USAID material has been taken down, but thank you Wayback Machine - which explains that only something like 12% of USAID money went directly to local service providers. But that doesn't mean that the rest was administrative overhead! Most of it was pass-through donations to other non-local charities, which could often provide relevant services at scale much more easily than the locals could.

Actual overhead costs seem to have averaged something like 10%, which is about what you'd expect. Recipients included groups like Gavi and the Global Fund, which are easily researchable and auditable.

But remember it's just about Zionists, not Jewish folks in general.

Hey @adamtheredbeard did you notice the image suspiciously cut off before the end of the tweet? I wonder if that softlib had anything else to say...

I see a lot of tags from Communists gloating in the reblogs, very confident that they know better than this guy...

But I'd wager that basically none of them do. It isn't just a matter of historical knowledge, either. For instance, "#mediocre white men" is part of a push for a form of scientific racism (based on "correct" race ratios that are just made up), and you didn't notice.

we already know how things went in Cuba with the Castro regime, and how it's still going. Such a paradise that right up until obama decided to change the rules in retaliation for them voting for trump (that's my theory at least) we had people on homemade rafts risking their lives to get to the US. Not a thing folks do if they're living in a place worth living in.

folks may not be up to speed on Vietnam's current level of human rights repression,

South Africa is in the news currently enough that you should be able to see how they're doing without any difficulty,

And honestly I think they included Haiti as a joke, because seriously now.

Fandom Problem #8697:

I fucking hate these "Fiction doesn't affect reality 🥺😡" bitches because they'll only use that argument to excuse serious topics being handled badly and act as if people on the internet hadn't spoken about their own experiences where fiction DID affect their reality

I've seen so many people confess how they thought that problematic dynamics were actually okay as children because of these fuckers who put them in a good light, so many black & queer people feeling frustrated at a piece of media for being racist and homophobic EVEN IF IT'S FICTION, etc. There are literally fictional stories being made with bad faith views with the purpose of affecting people's mindsets and you want to tell me that we shouldn't call these issues out just because they're fiction? Oh FUCK OFF

Every time you call me a mossad/CIA agent you give me endless encouragement to continue exposing your beloved mullah regime and advocate for my country’s freedom. You may not know this but Iranians are used to being called that by regime fans every time we slightly oppose them. That’s how we know we’re on the right track ;)

So please go ahead. Show me how dumb you are

Sincerely,

Yeah the regime is bad and they need to be ousted and held responsible, but a bombing campaign with no goal isn't solving that. America has never replaced a country's leader with the intent to help the country, only to expand their own influence.

The government that the USA helped to instal in Iran was the SHAH, and he was deposed by the Islamic Revolution IN 1979!

The US didn't install the current regime! They were the forces that took over the country FROM the Regime we helped RE-Instal (because the Shah had been deposed once before and we helped put him back in power)

THIS IS HOW BAD YOU ARE AT GEOPOLITICS!

We did not help install the Islamic Revolution! We were opposed to it!

Like, the present government of Iran IS the radical religious revolt to US intervention back in the fucking 70's! The exact response you mentioned also happening in Afghanistan and Iraq!

Also, we're opposed to a lot of things but sell weapons to anyone who wants to buy them. So like, we're funding extremists everywhere, and have been since the start of the cold war, so the current regime is still our fault and because of us.

I will stop saying we installed the current regime and change it to "we supported millitants in Iran just like we support militants in every middle eastern country to support instability"

That ANYONE has to tell you, REPEATEDLY, that you have your information so out of whack that your takes are based on things from the 1970's should absolutely tell you something about how BADLY you understand the subject at hand.

That you STILL refuse to recognize that a HALF CENTURY matters when discussing geopolitics should be a fucking eye-opener that you need to stop talking and start doing actual research, instead of getting all your information on the world from twitter and tiktok.

Do the reading.

Do the research.

You are hideously bad at this whole fucking subject stop asking other people to fix your fucking problems for you.

I'm not going to discuss modern geopolitics with someone who doesn't even have the framing to understand it.
