    If they are willing to defend facism and defend a dictator…then what’s the problem?

    At some point your “I’m just doing my job” becomes, “I support an American dictatorship.”. Do you not have morals? Your “job” has now become antithetical to the American Democratic Ethos - you are now a de facto traitor to your country. Last I checked, traitors are an enemy of the state.

    …so again, what’s the problem?





  • On one hand, this is just goofy Leftist bullshit.

    On the other hand, it’s worth understanding the differences between “progressivism” and “liberalism”.

    Most “liberals” don’t really understand what “liberalism” is. Most of them are actually “progressives” and just don’t realize it.

    Then it’s worth noting the differences between “progressivism” and the absolute looneytoons ideas that “leftists” espouse. I am not okay with the hardcore socialism that they push, or for the absolute civil war that it will require to enact those ideas.









  • Speaking as an American…we are apparently a country full of uneducated, greedy people.

    Can’t have my taxes to feed people because they might not ‘deserve’ it.

    Can’t have my taxes going to another country to prevent their genocide…because what are we getting out of it?

    Fucking un-empathetic people. Sure, we have problems here, and yeah, we really need to do things to make them better. But fucking destroying our government from the inside and destroying any goodwill we had with other countries…all in the name of saving a bit on taxes is…just insane. Like, I have no words for how dumb it is. It’s appalling.


  • Your mortgage payment can often be cheaper than your rent payments. If your waiting until the rates drop, you’ll be in an insane amount of competition to get a property.

    If you buy now, you can then refinance at a later date and get literally $100k’s off your mortgage. The downside is that your gambling on interest rates dropping.



  • So…I think it’s pretty self-evident that Israel knew about the plan by Hamas to kidnap Israeli citizens, and purposely let it happen to have an excuse to attack Palestine. Seeing that they’ve pretty much gotten away with genocide without too much fuss, they’re hedging their bets that they’ll be able to just steamroll Syria without any international resistance again.

    I think they’ve majorly underestimated how much the world is going to condemn this. It was one thing to “protect it’s citizens”, it’s another thing entirely to outright invade another nation.

    I’d be shocked if Europe doesn’t sanction Israel. They no longer see America as an ally. Hell, this attack is going to shut up a lot of those “Israel has a right to defend itself” chuds in America as well.
