Yeah this is one of the points where you better not let your online brain write checks your irl self can’t cash. Something like that has a good chance of escalating into violence and the people involved HAVE to recognize that. You have to trust the people around you otherwise you’re just going to end up getting hurt while the libs around you run away because they were just saying it to be funny.

Also this is a direct call out. If you say you support OCT7 and you’re not ready to take a nightstick to the skull potentially you should probably be quite.

I feel like it’s something you’d have to see for yourself to actually get a feel for the vibe. On an ideological level the people involved in the Oct 7 raid were as brave as the red army soldiers who liberated the camps, but on an irl level I can see where OP is coming from where some random is telling you to openly admire a recognized terrorist organization possibly for the purpose of escalating a protest into violence. If a good portion aren’t as ideologically committed as you are and things get ugly you’re just going to get your shit rocked by security forces while the libs around you run. Basically if you’re going to go all in and openly support Hamas in a protest, it’s most likely better to organize one with more committed supporters.

I understand the hate, I just don’t think it’s warranted. I’ve been watching videos about fallout 3 and it made me want to play it again but with a focus on exploration instead of just trying to min/max like I always do in New Vegas and I have to say fallout 3 gives more of a survival horror vibe than New Vegas where even if you’re not trying you can dominate everything within a few hours relatively. In contrast I’m like level 8 rn in fo3 and I really had to decide if I wanted to fight this group of talon company mercs or run away because I’ve been exploring for a while and don’t have the ammo to really put up a fight.

Been playing fallout 3 lately because I’ve played new Vegas waaaaaay more. Fallout 3 is good and definitely harder than New Vegas.

Domino theory is stupid because it relies on the premise that nations turn to communism due to their proximity to other communist nations and not the multitude of other reasons they would choose to become communist. It’s basically “the communist mind virus” as a foreign policy. It’s not coherent at all and actively spits in the face of historical materialism.

Isn’t it crazy that to this day no one has a coherent reason for the Vietnam war happening? Like libs still use domino theory as a justification as if that shouldn’t make you question your sanity.

What else can you do but laugh at the people who give more of a shit about these hostages than their own nation does? Like Israel bombs them and doesn’t even care. They don’t even say anything about it from what I can see. The hostages are a complete non issue because the only way to save them is to stop bombing Gaza.

Sounds good but I think regardless of what is in the manuals we should continually discredit its validity in modern times for Minecraft purposes so as to not attract attention. Knowmsayin?

The highway of death, which was done by Russia in the call of duty.

Damn that sounds extremely fucked. Is there anything regular people can do with this info or do we just sit and expect financial devastation?

I know one Ivy League grad and he’s just a pretty normal guy.

I mean that’s very nice, but on the other hand I know exactly 0 people who have an Ivy League education, which is way more likely for the average person. Not to put your point down too much, but these schools are not just letting anyone in. People with good politics even less so.
