Hey y’all maybe he’s just a committed iconoclast.

Yeah but it’s more decentralized, and is Musk more hostile to Iran than, say, NYT?

A: … But isn’t that the goal of the blockade?

The blockade is only on Iran if I understand this right, while Iran’s closing of the strait is for everyone else. They’re pointing two different guns at the global economy, not the same gun.

B: Can we take a moment to wallow in depression over yet more major diplomatic statements being posted on fucking Twitter? Fucking hell, stop giving that shithole US platform legitimacy.

I mean, both sides here have plenty of problems with US legacy media, though for different reasons. It makes perfect sense that they’ll rely on alternative media. Doubly so for Iran because it knows the Western political class will never listen to its demands; they’re talking to the average Westerner here, hence Twitter.

Phew.

… Wow. I’m going to hope for the sake of everyone you’ll ever meet that you’re just 14 or something.

I hope you have the same opinion regarding philosophy, pure math and string theory, but also: Then don’t fucking answer the question. Clearly some people, including the OP, see value in discussing beings whose existence cannot be verified in reality.

Because nobody actually answers the question. “Because it’s bullshit” is the least interesting, least informative answer you can give to a question like this, and it does nothing except make the commenter feel clever. It gets especially annoying when legitimate answers are buried under dozens of “because God doesn’t exist I’m so smart.” Now an answer could reject the premise that a creator exists and still be interesting, but it’d have to do better than the armchair anthropology everyone here seems so fond of.

So first, asking religious questions on the Fediverse is a fool’s errand, but that aside: Why not? Hell, if anything it’d be the other way around: An all-powerful being without emotion wouldn’t create anything, because they wouldn’t gain anything from doing so. Any creation by an omnipotent being would have to be an emotional affair.

Better test young people for knowledge of the holocaust itself

There’s no way to teach the Holocaust without taking about places like Auchwitz. Ergo someone who can’t name a single death camp by proxy barely knows anything about the Holocaust.

the fact that the current abysmal situation in Near East is a direct consequence of it.

Not really, no. The Zionist project was already in full swing by 1939, and the events of the Holocaust only really contributed PR and marginally more people to it. Of all the factor behind the eventual success of the Zionists and the creation of Israel, none depended in any critical way on the Holocaust.

Infinite sunspot theorem moment.

Setting aside the money factor, AI is also just faster, which is important for making up to date propaganda.

Like the other person said. The social vs antisocial thing is just the modern manifestation; that’s why depending on issue the left will argue for personal autonomy while the right will be pro-tradition and “family values.”

I would strongly contest the idea that tankies are durther left than anarchists. This only make since if you’re a shitlib.

I’m not sure if it 100% counts, but probably this. It’s the kind of religious wish fulfillment I usually can’t tolerate, but the rhythm is too good. It’s in my playlist, but I absolutely wouldn’t listen to it in front of anyone who can understand the lyrics.

This doesn’t even make sense as pedantry because the “that” in their comment wouldn’t make sense unless it was the latter.

Relevant.

(This is a song about not taking drugs, but it’s framed as a drug bragging about being really bad).

But why do you want it all without normal processes?

You’re missing the point. Plenty of Americans do have ancestry that allows them to claim citizenship (and therefore easily immigrate) somewhere or another, so the first thing an American trying to immigrate will be told is to check for that. Making it clear they can’t do that is important so they can get advice they can actually use.

Not like other US war criminals were punished. Trump could live another century and not see even a slap on the wrist for his crimes abroad.

Have you thought about the sheer retardation of modern copyright law today?

That’s naive. Trump was a near-inevitable symptom of late stage capitalism, not a stroke of dumb luck.
