There can’t be any abusive behaviour going on because the most important person in the world, me, didn’t see anything

Later that morning, Puke noticed that Allin still lay motionless in the same place where he had left him and posed for Polaroids with the corpse before calling for an ambulance.

Jesus Christ!

“As the Ukraine situation has not changed, we are not inviting Russia or Belarus” either, Suzuki added.

Calling it what it is, an invasion.

After the pathetic loser killed 97 people in Norway, the vast majority were children, he had this to say.

We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried shit every day.” So not only is he a racist cunt, he’s a despicable piece of shit in other ways as well.

Fuck Morrissey. Hope he gets remembered for the person he is, not the music he made

Not to take away from a lot of the other despicable shit done by Israel’s defence forces, but you have to be a special kind of awful to murder a child. Doesn’t matter if you believe you’re entitled to the land or whatnot. There’s really no way to justify killing children. Only hope the people who are responsible for actions like these gain some sort of awareness and have to live the rest of their lives with what they’ve done.

For Truman, news of the successful Trinity test set up a momentous choice: whether or not to deploy the world’s first weapon of mass destruction. But it also came as a relief, as it meant the United States wouldn’t have to rely on the increasingly adversarial Soviet Union to enter World War II against Japan.

By the morning of August 9, 1945, Soviet troops had invaded Manchuria and Sakhalin Island, but there was still no word from the Japanese government regarding surrender.

Moreover, regular incendiary bombing raids were destroying huge portions of one city after another, food and fuel were in short supply, and millions of civilians were homeless. General Curtis LeMay, the commander of American air forces in the Pacific, estimated that by the end of September he would have destroyed every target in Japan worth hitting. The argument that Japan would have collapsed by early fall is speculative but powerful.

I don’t know what Truman thought, but I do think saving US soldiers and avoiding The Soviet Union must have weighed in on the decision to nuke cities.

I know history.com isn’t that great of a source, but I have to go back to work.

Not trying to downplay what Japan did, but I don’t think that’s why they dropped the bombs. Russia was closing in and the US didn’t seem keen on having to divide up Japan like they did in Europe. I’d say it’s more likely civilian targets were bombed to put social pressure on the emperor and government to accept defeat.

These bombs don’t discriminate, so even put into context like you say, it’s still not a good argument

Unfettered immigration? Theres exactly not a single country who has that. Some more strict than others, but none unfettered.

You know what other countries have economic downturns at the moment? Damn near everyone. Get your head out of your ass and start pointing fingers in the right direction. Not the weakest or labour immigration.

Christ, this hateful bullshit has been spouted thousands of years and the only times it’s ruined societies has been when it’s not immigration, but colonisation.

It’s both infuriating and embarrassing
