As long as they're not dropping 2000 pound bombs on American children in tents, what in the FUCK do you think people who drowned out protests against Gaza with "4 more years" get to complain about? Are you slow?

So you're saying the US still has streets? Hasn't been turned into rubble from coast to coast, like Gaza? What are you criticizing then, and from what standing?

Trump is a full on fascist puppet. Biden lied about having seen video of beheaded babies. Same fucking difference.

I kinda resent criticism of genocide being considered a "leftist" position. It's a perfectly apolitical centrist summer child position IMO. And by the same token, to stray from it is monstrosity that is also beyond left and right.

23.02.2026 12:29 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

And Biden lied about having personally seen video of "beheaded babies" and she didn't say a peep, either.

Stay the course, so proud of our work, blah di fucking blah = "sHe wArnED uS". No fucking notes.

Do you also expect an epileptic to apologize profusely when they bump into you while having a seizure?

That guy was one of the inspirations for that movie. Nobody in that room needs to have explained to them what Tourette's is. This is 100% an issue for race baiters and those who go for that.

I honestly know no place other than the US where even non-racist people still talk about human races as if they were real. You can have the most complex caste system in your own mind and it would have zero bearing on what I say or what I say. Might as well save it.

It's a very simple fact that there is only one human race, takes one afternoon to find out. That people who claim otherwise persecute people based on the "race" the count them towards doesn't make those races real. I don't say this to change anyone's outlook, but because it's true. Look it up. READ.

We hear, since emancipation, much said by our modern colored leaders in commendation of race pride, race love, race effort, race superiority, race men, and the like. One man is praised for being a race man and another is condemned for not being a race man. In all this talk of race, the motive may be good, but the method is bad. It is an effort to cast out Satan by Beelzebub. The evils which are now crushing the negro to earth have their root and sap, their force and mainspring, in this narrow spirit of race and color, and the negro has no more right to excuse and foster it than have men of any other race. I recognize and adopt no narrow basis for my thoughts, feelings, or modes of action. I would place myself, and I would place you, my young friends, upon grounds vastly higher and broader than any founded upon race or color. Neither law, learning, nor religion, is addressed to any man’s color or race. Science, education, the Word of God, and all the virtues known among men, are recommended to us, not as races, but as men. We are not recommended to love or hate any particular variety of the human family more than any other. Not as Ethiopeans; not as Caucasians; not as Mongolians; not as Afro-Americans, or Anglo-Americans, are we addressed, but as men. God and nature speak to our manhood, and to our manhood alone. Here all ideas of duty and moral obligation are predicated. We are accountable only as men.

You think Frederick Douglass said this to "make white people feel better"? Heh.

No, the goal of totalitarianism is to make all humans, as humans, superfluous. They want nothing of you or me other than a time when it will be like neither of us ever existed.

"They asked questions" - "I can answer this one" Which one? What question can you answer? What is this shit?

Trump is not in charge here, that's for sure. The idea that the military is on the move because of something he came up and gets updated on is just nonsense.

It's not like the Mullahs have any GOOD plans for anyone, their people or Israel. But if you force someone you already decided is up to no good, to 100% do all the bad things they can do, then they will do those things. That's just trivially, obviously true. So all this "confusion" is 100% theater.

Because they've seen how you and Israel treat the defenseless, dropping 2000 pound bombs on children while lying about having seen footage of beheaded babies.

If you plan to murder them either way, they might as well go down fighting. That's the only strat you leave open because you want WW3.

Mirander? I hardly know her! Not every womans drenching excitement is caused by the rod of life that is indeed fastened upon my body somewhere between Mr. Poopington (which is how address my buttocks) and a spot located somewhere in front of it. I therefore ask to discontinue the slander at once!

"Stopping fascism"? Remember when Biden was lying about having personally seen video of beheaded babies, to facilitate the whole dropping 2000 pound bombs on refugees stuff, while Netanyahu drooled about "Amalek"

It's not only fascism once it also hits you. By then it's aqrguably just karma.

Yeah well that's where you lose me again.

Gaza was a genocidal shitshow from day one, with full support of the Biden admin. Remember him lying about having seen beheaded babies?

People so monstrous and criminal, the ONLY person they can look down on and hide behind is Trump, really.

Good for you then, and my bad for assuming this was another one of those the kind of self-congratulating "blue" posts that indeed dwell on the past. Or even outright reading that into it when there wasn't any indication that was your intent.
