What We Ask of Men. As leaders & pundits bang the drums of war, its time we think about what we ask of men. What we ask men to do in times of war, the burdens we ask men to carry, yet never show. What will we do this time? #Iran #Israel #IranIsrael youtu.be/cVADwguF2IQ?si…

Put me on your on list that I know I’m already on. You’ve already been surveilling me since I was 14. So f*ck it. F*ck Israel!!! F*ck Israel!!! F*ck Israel!!! F*ck Israel!!! F*ck Israel!!! F*ck Israel!!! F*ck Israel!!! Israel DOES NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO EXIST!

When I said “we have a lot of Normans” the other day… THIS is what I am talking about. They tie their life and livelihoods around the existence of Israel. Because whether they speak in support of it or not, they BENEFIT. It’s time to wake up people. They’re not your friend.

Did you know? In the United States, there are: - 40 Jewish Holocaust museums - 6 African-American slavery museums - 1 Native American genocide museum

This is why Islam and Christianity are seeing a surge in numbers. The people lost Jesus. The people lost faith. And boy do we need it now dealing with these crazy fks.

@downbadcomment Stop blasting sugar walls 🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you know that Donald Trump's son just married the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant? Well now you do.

So let me get this straight. Peter Thiel creates the foundation for a surveillance state, then moves his family to Argentina because of the future of America. Not concerning at all lol.

I am not afraid of the most corrupt government on earth calling me an “extremist” for opposing data centers. I am afraid of losing our farms, bees, fresh water, and what’s left of our beautiful earth.

Dear small percentage of Boomers who can actually be told things: Here are some facts, to help you understand what Millennials are trying to tell you. Here is what the middle-class experience is right now. Not for losers, but for your average hardworking, but unexceptional, dude born in 1992. - No company pensions. Ever. No job offers this. - Laid off every 2 to 3 years. - No vacations. Ever. If you are lucky, you have 10 to 15 days of annual "PTO" (paid time off). But this is not vacation. This is your sick days. You can take a break with whatever's left over. - If you are not lucky, you have "unlimited" PTO. Which sounds nice, but in practice it means you get sick days and nothing else. - They pay social security taxes, but they know they will never receive those benefits, because the system will crash first. - Not promoted. Ever. - No annual raises. Instead, these are effectively pay cuts, because they don't match inflation. - Because of this, can only get a raise by changing jobs. Some judicious prevarication about salary history is recommended. - Good chance you'll have to change careers at least once, possibly more, as industries get rugpulled by offshoring or work visas. - Total mortgage cost on a median house in 2026 is 104,600 minimum-age-hours. This is 50+ years of full-time work. - For comparison, a 1972 purchase would be 23,750 minimum-wage-hours, about 11 years of full time work. What this all adds up to is that Millennials can't buy homes until they are past their child-bearing years. And, no, scrimping and saving doesn't change that equation. This is with scrimping and saving. I am not a Millennial. I am GenX, the child of Boomers. I do not need to be told how much Boomers forwent luxuries to save, and how hard they worked. I know exactly how much they did of each. I was there. I saw. They worked hard at the beginning of their careers, and lived frugally for about 5 years to save up a down payment. After that, things gradually eased up, bit by bit. Until, by retirement, a lot of them had nice fat stock portfolios and multiple rental property investments, and Caribbean cruise holidays. And this seems, to them, like a fair and natural progression. But as America has been hollowed out and by a corrupt political machine, those doing the robbing have left the Boomers whole, and placed the burden of that corruption squarely on the backs of younger generations. For Millennials, there's no light at the end of that tunnel. Just another tunnel. And another after that. They have been standing between Boomers and the reality of the modern economy for 20 years. At some point, they are going to break.

فضيحة تاريخية يجب أن يشاهدها العالم أجمع الوزير الإسرائيلي يُخاطب الجنود الإسرائيليين قبل دخولهم غزة قائلاً: "أمسكوا بالأطفال الرضع في غزة وحطموا رؤوسهم على الصخور"

This is what the older generations should try and do more often

Evil is being unleashed in all political spectrums and all around us

BREAKING: The federal government is targeting Anti-AI and data center activists. They are formulating a new threat category: anti-tech violent extremism. Full article in replies.

After tireless struggle by victims and finally a 1-hour TV documentary this week, settlements south of Jerusalem admit their leaders have long created child pornography by filming when they gang-rape kids in the community: "No longer in denial: Gush Etzion admits to ritual abuse"

We are a nation under siege.

We are watching our genocide unfold right in front of us.

Two Michigan residents have filed what attorneys say is the first class-action lawsuit in the U.S. over noise from a data center, alleging a Dowagiac facility has created a constant nuisance that has disrupted daily life and hurt property values. metrotimes.com/news/michigan-…

Gen X, Millenialls, Gen Z AND Gen Alpha are ALL going to be paying for the benefits Boomers received the rest of our lives. Excuse us for not having sympathy for a generation that pulled the ladder up, sent jobs oversees, paid horrible wages & spent recklessly.

@Fair_and_Biased It’s hard to have sympathy for a generation that’s been screaming at us about taking our finances seriously, sacrificing a multitude of things in order to have less than they did at our age & just take it because “that’s capitalism, go work harder!” The smart thing is to sell 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m a Millennial. I’m also shocked at the replies I got when I suggested that the elderly shouldn’t have to sell their homes if they can’t pay inflated property taxes. It’s clear to me that people carry a deep hatred of their parents’ and grandparents’ generations.

@gunnell_george He’s selling books & speeches on this issue. He’s still “accepted” because, as this comment was originally posted on, he’s still supporting Israel & equating the dismantling of Israel as an afront to Jews. Because they keep conflating the two while getting protection from both.

@EmpathicTimes I disagree. Norman Finkelstein’s anti-z****sm and his advocacy for Palestine cost him his academic career. Peace

We have a lot of Normans. Jews allowed to “speak out” BECAUSE they are Jewish. But at the end of the day, they STILL carry water for Israel. Because their business model depends on it. Look at who’s allowed to be a contrarian and NOT get censored, demonetized & threatened.👀
