  • I think it’s a case of them thinking what the title says, but knowing it makes them look shitty, so trying to couch it in a way that makes it open to interpretation, or at the very least gives them plausible deniability.

    Like a lot of right wing commentators/popular people. Talk bullshit around the point everyone knows you’re making, so when people call you out on it you can go “I specifically say that, so that’s not true, and you’re actually the ass hole for acusing me of it”






  • If you know cricket, and the Pakistani cricket team… This meme is very on point.

    Perhaps one of sports most “potential that was never achieved” teams.

    At times they have some of the best players, and on paper team, in the world… And then they’ll just play like muppets at important events and you get this meme.

    I didn’t say rally behind him though. I just see people saying nothing but negative things about him whenever he comes up.

    It’s like everyone constantly going against Kamala Harris. Yes, you’re correct, yes it’s shit. She supported Israel too… But sewing division and not voting leads to trump getting into power, which is much worse for Palestinians. Let alone all the fashy, nazi shit.

    There are much better candidates they newsom that should get support for running in the future. But attacking him everytime he’s mentioned isn’t super constructive to the ultimate goal, not having Nazis in power.

    Gotta out the really bad first, then push for better.

    I know he’s less theft ideal… But at least he’s one of the few officials repeatedly going publicly against trump. So many people are either quiet or supportive of it.

    Enemy of my enemy etc. Not ideal bed fellows but you gotta make some alliances to take down the fascists. Division works in their favour, it’s literally their tactic








  • Yes it is flawed, but it was basically “give the 5 largest powers veto power, or they don’t participate”. If they don’t participate, it would be even more ornamental than it currently is.

    Ideally they would have more power to stop shit like this, but the UN as it stands is better than nothing. They do bring countries together to talk things through that otherwise might not have and have successfully de-escilated issues in the past.

    I’m not saying people shouldn’t expect, or push for, better, and I’m not saying this is your view point, but I do see the sentiment that they’re useless/do nothing quite often.

    Walking out won’t ultimately achieve much… But it’s at least better than sitting their and letting him feel validated in his psychopathic plans.
