the silent in slay the spire 2 is so busted i just did like 900 damage to the final boss on turn 4
the IOC had a 2 years minimum hormone therapy rule since 2003, until ultra right think tanks concocted this wedge issue and beamed it into the brain of the entire centrist pundit class. it was never an issue until the GOP's political machine made it an issue
doing a lot of drugs and going to strange afterparties is neat bc 10 years later you'll be sitting on your couch and a ketamine altered memory of going to the toilet and seeing a guy laying on top of a ripped off its hinges toilet door while looking confused is beamed into your skull
what? i said the fossil fuel lobby bankrolls anti trans initiatives, just like they do for climate change denialism. you said the amounts were trivial, and i provided additional information to the contrary. what changed about my argument
the largest and most influential anti trans lobbying groups like the heritage foundation and the heartland institute get tens of millions in open donations from fossil fuel oligarchs and corporations like exxonmobil, without dark money donations. is that trivial in your eyes
what? that question is incoherent. are you asking who lobbies against trans healthcare? fossil fuel giants, as i showed you
huh, i wonder if the fossil fuel lobby has a vested interest in sowing false skepticism about other areas of scientific consensus, as part of their broader effort to discredit academic institutions
"I've been covering the anthropogenic climate change controversy for about a decade from a left-of-center perspective and I've found that anyone who questions the broad scientific consensus..."
CBP was literally on horseback whipping haitian asylum seekers under biden this is not new, whats new is now they do the same type of thing to US citizens
i got accepted with very positive feedback into the (very good :)) art school ive wanted to go to for 13 years :)))
that one x files episode but instead of shooting JFK the cigarette smoking man shoots charlie kirk
i was talking about congressional leadership, not the DNC, forgive my colloquialisms. then again, a formal DNC primary neutrality clause was only passed last august, before then it was just an informal agreement which was violated multiple times.
they do. the party appoints members to congressional committees, they can threaten primarying, they do oppo research on potential candidates, they can leverage in-party access politics, etc. they don't do any of these things because they don't care about what ICE is doing
i don't believe in the tail wagging the dog. israel is the US's unsinkable aircraft carrier, and it's attack dog in the region. zionist christians who hold the reigns of power in the US dictate it's foreign policy, not israel or israeli interest groups
im not particularly interested in arguing with a genocidal and thoroughly propagandized individual like yourself. i hope you'll be able to live with yourself when the world comes to realize the true depths of the depravity of the israeli regime and it's crimes against humanity
palestine is a historically multiethnic and pluralist region. israel is an ethnostate centered around ethnic supremacism. no ethnic group deserves an ethnostate. why have you shifted to doing hasbara
qatar has been a US ally for decades, it houses CentCom. i get the feeling you're not really engaging with what I'm saying whatsoever, you're going back on your own words to support your deeply uninformed drivel, so I'm going to leave it here.
so then you agree that israel has more sway in the US than russia right? because you said that if they did they'd be viewed more favorably
i don't know if you're aware, but the US public has a *much* more favorable view of israel than russia
do you think russia or israel has more sway in US elections
alright, so the claim that israel is buying US elections is true then, right? last time i checked russia doesn't have legal, on the books, Super PACs like israel does besides all the illicit interference ops they run
cambridge analytica, famously nothing to do with israel. on an unrelated note: www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
hmmmmm yes, liberalism. the great respecter of national sovereignty. allende's chile just kind of did that. iran? they practically couped themselves. millions killed in indonesia? never heard of it.
another major difference is that taiwan is not under threat of invasion, unlike pre 2022 ukraine. if taiwan had suffered military incursions like ukraine did in 2014 it would be more comparable
china's one china policy is definitely irredentist, but the major difference here is that de jure both taiwan and china hold a one china position, though they're de facto independent. the taiwanese constitution holds that mainland china is ROC territory.
oh yeah, i agree
can you tell me when taiwan china tensions started to escalate
ukraine has been formally independent since 1991 and was invaded without provocation by an irredentist kleptocracy, taiwan is formally a part of china with de facto independence and is currently under no threat of invasion. i don't think the 2 are comparable
