I wonder if the guard was like “Oh this guy is a journalist? Lets googlebaidu what he writes- Oh it’s just sinophobic nonsense. Tell him he has to come back tomorrow so we can waste more of his time”

Oh cool, anyone with foreign allegiances is going to oppose war, this is a good thing!

Oh it’s a nazi. God dammit.

I wish I could link you the AI-translated hitler speeches, but they seem to have been removed from youtube.

Apparently a bunch of libs were going “Hey wait he was right” instead of “Holy shit I literally speak of immigrants and trans people the same way hitler spoke of jews”

The random meandering into completely unrelated topics is also fitting.

Israel, and AIPAC is just an extension of the US government. The US supports Israel because it allows them to threaten the rest of the middle east and keep cheap resources and labor flowing out.

This is bad for the people who live in America (and the middle east), but it is good for the capitalist class the US represents.

Blaming the people for the predictable effects of the dem’s actions deflects away from only entity that had the power to change the outcome and the only entity that will have the power to change this in 2026.

It’s not constructive to go “Damn, I sure wish genocide didn’t decrease turnout for the dems”

Just like in 2016, the dems deluded themselves into blaming the voters (specifically black people and/or the left) and bernie sanders instead of themselves, and we are watching them do it again in real time.

I just have a fear I might mess up somehow and start a fire or something

It takes some effort to start a fire. Most oils flash points are >600 F, which you might get a pan to to sear a steak, but to heat a pan of oil for deepfrying or something to >600 F, which would be a dangerous situation, requires you to continue heating it after it started billowing smoke between ~350F and ~525.

In any case, if you manage to have an oil fire, say by spilling some on the burner, just let it burn out if it’s a small amount or turn off the heat and throw a towel over it if it’s like a cup’s worth.

Minor burns aren’t uncommon when you’re learning, but that’s just a very quick way to learn “wrap the handle of the cast iron you just took out of the oven with a towel so you don’t grab it like a moron” or “use tongs to place things on hot oil so it doesn’t splatter on your hand”

Biden sent Netanyahu every weapon he was allowed to, and had the military protecting Israel.

If the Biden admin didn’t want Netanyahu to do this, they could have just not actively supported his efforts to do so.

This was obvious to everyone from the beginning.

Even blue MAGA were doing “But you still need to vote biden, even if the dems never stop facilitating genocide” since Oct 8th, because deep down, they understood the dems wouldn’t listen, even if it was going to cost them the election.

2030 is incredibly optimistic. Musk has been promising your tesla would be able to function as an automatic taxi when you’re not using it for a decade.

I voted, but I have no power to change the outcome of the election. Only the democrats had this power, the blame lies only with them.

Genocide lowers turnout. Saying you’re going to appoint republicans to your cabinet lowers turnout. Pledging to shut down the border and build the wall lowers turnout. Means testing all of your campaign promises lowers turnout. Running tough-on-crime campaign ads raises turnout FOR THE REPUBLICANS!

We’ve been yelling that the dems will lose if they continue to go right for the last 4 years, but the dems either chose to move to the right on every issue either knowing it would lower their performance, or ignorant because blue maga like you helped shield them from the reality unfolding infront of all of us. I don’t know which is more damning.

I think they’re suggesting that, if you think what you’re seeing now is “unlimited support,” you’ll have a pretty shocking 2025.

Every weapon congress allowed, the US sent to Israel, and the US used its standing military to prevent anyone else from stopping Israel. The Biden admin has done literally nothing to limit Israel’s genocide and has used the military and diplomatic power to ensure that it continues.

We had a shitty choice to make

We didn’t choose shit, the democrats made choices at every opportunity that lowered turnout. Genocide lowers turnout. Saying you’re going to appoint republicans to your cabinet lowers turnout. Pledging to shut down the border and build the wall lowers turnout. Means testing all of your campaign promises lowers turnout. Like anyone who’s been paying attention, I spent the last 4 years telling anyone who’d listen that if the democrats do this shit, Trump will win in 2024, and now somehow it’s everyone’s fault except the democrats.

Are you suggesting that if the dems won, they would have stopped the unlimited support for Israel’s genocide?

Unless there’s a coup in the DNC, we’re going to see a repeat of this week in 2026 and 2028.

If the democrats had learned anything at all, they would stop all arms shipments and sanction Israel right now so they can credibly say to voters they want the same things.

you have been very intolerant in lots of cases. U have called for acts of violence to be enacted.

Violence to stop the harm of a marginalized group isn’t the same as violence by a hate group against a marginalized group.

Or do you think fighting a transphobe is the same as a transphobe hatecriming a trans person?

I thought we’d established, tolerating nazis is intolerance.

Remember when Biden’s admin said they’d cut off aid if Israel didn’t let aid into gaza and stop killing humanitarian workers, but set the deadline for just after the election?

This proves it was a cynical ploy and they never intended to limit their support of Israel’s genocide.

Those people are free to organise.

Nah fuck that. Letting them organize makes a space hostile to the groups they are intolerant of. By that logic, hate groups like atomwaffen is just fine, and the hate crimes their members carry out are entirely unrelated to the organization that radicalized them and gave them the information to carry it out.

as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion

Weird cults obviously fail this test.

Enabling intolerance is itself intolerance.

A society that lets racists, homophobes, and child abusers organize is less free than one which breaks up such organizations and reeducates its members.

They’ve been saying that for the last year. And bombing the west bank. Hell they bombed Bethlehem on Christmas.

The democrats can not fail, they can only be failed.

They challenge the party the same way Heaven’s Gate, the Laroushites, or other weird right-wing cults challenge the US state; by encouraging destructive behavior like denying life-saving medicine to children, running a pyramid scheme, doing a bunch of crimes, financial and otherwise.

I linked the wikipedia article of the teachings of the weird cult to show they were never a non-political group, and its suppression is a good thing, rather than the evil ccp trying to crush benign movements because they hate freedom or whatever.

But why let reality get in the way of the china bad circlejerk?
