Racist delusion and neo-nazism is no longer fringe

Could he have been attempting suicide? His propaganda has probably told him something like a lone IDF soldier in Gaza would be bombed and sniped, even if unarmed, maybe he saw that it wasn't that way and changed his mind

The last few years are just begging for a reboot of Celebrity Deathmatch

The scale and proportions of this are all fucked, the rich take substantially more from the state than the non-rich. Is this a sarcastic meme or is this like shaming 'welfare queens'?

Someone is gonna come in here and complain like "ohh those commies are always blaming capitalism for everything!" But seriously, every point listed by OP is because we live under a system that requires endless growth for profit, this is the logical conclusion.

They aren't "committing genocide to attack Hamas", they have propped up Hamas for years specifically so they can bomb average people more and enact genocidal policies, in their ultimate goal of the destruction of Palestine. Right-wing Israeli politicians have been pretty clear about that for decades. Hamas isn't alone on their side, and Israel isn't targeting them specifically, they are just the largest of several militant groups fighting against Israel.

If 12,000 rockets fired means they are attacking indiscriminately, what would you say about the many more thousands of bombs that the IDF has dropped over the entire area of Gaza? Why are IDF engineers rigging residential buildings with bombs and destroying them after clearing them out? What is the purpose of their missile strikes on refugee convoys and ambulances?

But Hamas isn't the entire side, there are numerous militant groups and average Palestinians fighting against the IDF. It's a little unfair to say "both sides suck" when one group is using whatever small arms and improvised weapons they have, suffering many thousands of civilian deaths trying to prevent the annihilation of their people, while the other side is fighting to take more territory and has the support of the entire West, with drones, airstrikes, fighter jets and the like.

In my view it's rare that anyone really 'simps for Hamas', they are the leading militant group in Gaza opposing the Israeli state though so if there are victories against IDF forces it's usually going to be under that umbrella, and praising a victory against IDF is not the same as praising past terror attacks. I've never heard anyone confused that they are communist. There are Marxist-Leninist groups in Palestine though, like the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

They spend the majority of those billions on marketing, higher tier salaries, a very small portion goes to the artists. Without those billions media would still get made because there is always demand for entertainment and art.

Idk if so many people remember this now, but watching him on Crossfire absolutely shut them down was so satisfying. Then the show just happens to get cancelled not long after for 'unrelated reasons', like they didn't get destroyed and quit in shame.

The only people who should be allowed to hold power are people who don't want it.
