I don’t think that you can exercise such fine motor skills while you are shooting up a school or other mass gatherings - which was the whole point of the ban in the first place.

I don’t understand the kind of sociopathy required (by the judges in question) to seek an excuse to pedantically redefine a device whose whole original purpose is killing people en-masse.

The US police force is full of sociopaths. But I like to believe that there are at least a few sincere officers in there. They are the ones who are really going to pay for such acts. The Capitol Hill insurrection is a good example.

Eh? Isn’t that the point of putting pressure in the first place?

I just wish that the corporate psychopaths who caused this in their greedy pursuit of insane wealth, were held accountable. Make them pay real money for every life lost, every ecosystem destroyed, each crop failed and each natural disaster caused by global warming. And then throw them into these disaster areas to fend for themselves and survive the harsh climate without the support of instruments they bought to ensure their own survival.

Stop appealing and ask them to f*** off. You don’t appeal to bullies.

I don’t understand who the US is trying to convince with their anti-genocide statements when all their actions indicate their full fledged and willing participation in it.

At this point, the US has a big role in so many post-wwii genocides that it’s almost as if they enjoy killing off large populations like a psychopathic serial killer.

The scary part is that there are a lot of dumbfucks to cheer on and rich sleazeballs to finance his ideas. If just 0.1% of the population agrees with it (can guarantee that those will be the richest 0.1%), you’re looking at a horrifying future.

Thanks! That helps.

It’s not the lack of intelligence. They are targeting the non-Muslim population with brainwashing. This is similar to how the Nazis used to persecute the Jews. Label any of their beliefs and customs as evil. After a while, the other people are overcome by hatred and they simply forget that it’s nonsense.

I didn’t know that. But that’s a good question.

I hate it when I agree with an autocrat.

Have you heard the good news about supply-side Jesus?

No. First time. But this is hilarious and tragic at the same time!

the fact that it also benefits labor even a little means the capitalist class will react very badly.

They aren’t trying merely to steal wages, are they? They really want the peasants to suffer, don’t they?

Muslim nations in the middle east regularly make friends with nations that indulge in human rights abuses against native Muslims. The criteria is money, not religion.

The Philippines just installed a bunch of supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles. Yeah, shit’s indeed about to get real.

Abstaining from alcohol is one of 75 different activities and behaviors identified by the Chinese government as a sign of potential religious extremism. It is listed in brochures distributed in some parts of Xinjiang to educate the public on how to identify extreme religious activities.

What next? Breathing air?

If it’s in our “nature” how is it that the vast majority of us are not doing it?

It’s not in the nature of the majority of individuals, but it’s definitely there in the nature of our species. It’s due to the odd nature of statistics. 100% of us will never be peaceful. There will always be a minority - possibly less than 1% that has bloodlust. Unfortunately, that minority is good at playing with the emotions of the rest (this is the speciality of sociopaths) and leading the entire tribe to needless bloodshed.

This looks like a saturation attack towards the Israeli air defense. The drones and possibly the ballistic missiles are cheaper and more numerous in comparison to the interceptors needed to destroy them. The aim is to exhaust the interceptors. So, the attack cannot be seen as a failure even if they didn’t land.

Another thing to note is that some missiles/drones did manage to make it to the ground. Excluding some interception failures, the others were probably neglected by the air defense system. Israeli air defense is configured to neglect the projectiles that are expected to fall in unpopulated and unimportant areas. That again shows that the effectiveness of the attack cannot be judged from the number of drones/missiles that landed.

And finally, the attack’s effectiveness depends on the loss of lives and property caused on the Israel side. However, releasing reports and footage of such destruction would be demoralizing to the Israelis. So they’re likely to downplay the attack. Meanwhile Iran is likely to exaggerate the same to look menacing and superior. So take the reports from either side with a grain of salt. The truth is likely to be somewhere in the middle.

Oh! They have been at it for at least half a century now. There are numerous documentaries about it on YouTube alone.

The world should stop unilaterally playing nice and start declaring parts of China as independent nations under occupation. Let’s see how they’ll take it.
