Curious if they would do this for China or Iran (I’m not curious I know the answer and I think it’s useful they are boasting about being de facto state media)

@jackmabou @snackvampire to the conscript holding the 9K32 Strela-2 with stickers of the Virgin Mary, Hugo Chavez, Simón Bolívar, and Goku stuck to the side; you can do this.

Is the solution resistance or peace?
This is the view of the late great Egyptian thinker Abdel Wahab Elmessiri:
Host: Who is in the right, Fatah or Hamas?
Dr. Elmessiri: Hamas, of course. My conviction is well known: the only option is resistance, and more resistance.
As for imagining that what they call a “culture of peace” leads to positive results, no. The West gives you according to your strength. If you abandon resistance, you will gain nothing.
As happened with President Sadat. He imagined that once he visited Jerusalem, the treasuries would open for him just like that. In the end, they abandoned him until he was assassinated.
The same applies to Fatah and the Palestinian Authority. They announce that they will lay down arms and even search for and pursue those who insist on carrying weapons. In other words, they have turned into a tool of repression. They imagine that by doing so, the Israelis will grant them some gains.
The problem in the Arab–Israeli conflict is that the Israeli minimum does not align with the Palestinian minimum.
Take the issue of East Jerusalem, for example. Israel cannot give up East Jerusalem. The return of refugees is also impossible for Israel because it threatens the fragile demographic structure. The dismantling of settlements as well: if Israel dismantles the settlements, it loses its legitimacy as a Zionist state.
Israeli right-wingers say that evacuating Hebron and Nablus of settlements means evacuating Tel Aviv, and I agree with them on this. Because the Zionist regime is fragile and built on settlement and transfer, and all of this makes it incapable of offering any concessions of any kind.

@KlonnyPin_Gosch and to simultaneously make his own policies/brand seem more appealing to a confused populist/economic-left leaning demographic that he thinks he could funnel folks back into his camp from, the sort of nazbol angle

So did Zogran just walk his ass in there, give Trump his million dollar Obama smile, and whisper in his ear that the whole DemSoc thing is all an act?
Trump showed more animosity towards Zelenskyy than he did this supposed communist menace he’s been fearmongering about for the past 6 months. They’re not even bothering with a kayfabe spat… Wtf is going on?

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? MAMDANI: I've spoken about-- TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Paladino: Trump played chess. Today was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I will tell you this, this guy has got a lot of answering to do when he comes back to New York. Because he has got the DSA types that are going to hold his hands over the fire for taking a meeting with Trump let alone come out of it buddy, buddy. I think Trump was brilliant.

@KlonnyPin_Gosch trumps reactions are so absurdly friendly and agreeable with zohran that it almost feels like a 4d situation where he is “leaning in” to the theory that zohran is compromised and/or ideologically aligned with trump in an attempt to sabotage his support on the left

@wrespecter286 We live just a few miles away from the factories that produce the drones and bombs and the banks and investment firms that send the money and also the genocidal infrastructure killing Indigenous people on Turtle Island, for example the prisons and detention centers.
