War has always been good for business. Which shows you just how much “business” is bad for people.

This war we started replacing missles, attacks, with “blasts”. Like the hospital attack was a “blast”. Like a gas line blew or an oopsie. Anytime they want to water down what happened it’s just a enigmatic “blast”.

Israeli line for civillian deaths “well that’s war”. The world will remember how casual Israel is about it’s genocide. It rolls off them like water.

Such a dumb comparison for the headline …

AnneBonny, to privacy in The Ghosts of the Worldwide Surveillance Apparatus Show Their Hand

I watched Citizenfour recently, and it is remarkable how little has changed. I wonder whether people have forgotten or they just don’t care.

HurlingDurling,

People don’t want to belive it’s possible. Whenever I tell friends and family about this they truly dont belive this will ever happen to them and if it does, they don’t want to understand the ramifications and just say it’s fine.

AnneBonny,

I bet you’re right. There is probably a lot of people who are in denial.

WebTheWitted,

Most people have. I was hopeful that the extension on FISA / section 702 would get removed from the NDAA today but it looks like that failed 65-35. I suppose some hope still remains as it works it’s way through the house, and / or the extension ends.

Not holding my breath, though.

Indeed, Rule of Acquisition #34 clearly states that. But also remember Rule of Acquisition #35:

Peace is good for business.

TheFerrango,

People always get the two mixed up.

I once googled ‘rule 34 ferengi’ and I cannot unseen.

Even if there were a thousand Hamas commanders somehow at the camp, it wouldn’t be a valid excuse.

zerfuffle,

Hamas commander visiting his family? That makes his family all Hamas. His family talks with other people? They’re now Hamas, too.

So on and so forth until you can justify bombing anything that moves.

Damn, if only they had stopped at 428 requests

bionicjoey,

No, it’s 429 too many. There need to have been 429 fewer requests

boredtortoise,

Ah of course, you’re right

Regarding the final piece, the global south already knows US integrity is a joke. At least the leadership is giving younger citizens a more accurate view of what US foreign policy actually looks like, conveniently under a “liberal” president.

Uprise42,

Pretty sure more liberals know Biden is far from liberal. He’s center at best but even he probably leans right on a global scale.

Bitrot,
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

He is what passes for a liberal in the US. Obama, either Clinton, nearly any other democrat would do exactly the same thing he is doing (which is unfortunately the same thing Trump would be doing). Strong echoes of the Iraq war.

agitatedpotato,

Obama said he thinks his own policies are in line with Reagan. Biden falls to the right of that on some issues, including to the right of Reagan on Israel.

Comparing 400 to ~110,000 is certainly one of the choices of all time. Pretty much all killing is heinous imo, especially in this instance, but could we leave the atomic bomb comparisons for elsewhere?

SaintWacko,

Yeah, if we use that comparison now, what are we going to do when they actually use an atomic bomb?

Bitrot,
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It’ll sound something like “Blast rocks Gaza scattering radioactive debris for miles. Biden says ‘That wasn’t good, guys’ as US deploys an additional carrier to the region. And now, sports.”

popcap200, to worldnews in In Occupation, They Cared for the Vulnerable. Now They’re in Jail for It

Yeah. The Ukraine invasion is about cultural genocide and money. I feel so bad for any Ukrainians stuck in occupied territory right now.

Spineless Australia can’t protect their own citizens from the US but they still delude themselves into thinking that they’re partners with America, not a lapdog.

@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

Isn’t the case with pretty much all the countries who are “allied” with the states?

Trudge,
@Trudge@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Yes, but countries like France will at least resist and denounce American attempts that infringe upon their sovereignty.

Yellow-bellied Australia is unique in their submissiveness even amongst American allies.

Microw,

I see you havent met Poland yet

    I didn’t know he was in charge of the Electoral College.

    Clinton won the popular vote in 2016.

    But sure, that is entirely his fault.

    It is incompatible because Hillary Clinton technically won the election. More people voted for her. That is Assange’s fault?

    I’d love to see some hard data that proves his influence “led to a depression in voters for her and more support for Trump.”

    Either way, he sat on GOP leaks for his own shit political reasons.

    Look I am not the one spouting stuff that has never been proven. Show me proof of that, or stop spouting “speculative” bullshit. You sound as bad as a MAGA idiot.
