@brainprojector @TReedSF @mjfree That's hysterical. I love people that believe propaganda that is so blatantly false. Sure wages kept up with inflation. That's reasonable to believe.

@NThompson_3 @TReedSF @mjfree You are not going to spend alot ot time with someone who has facts cuz in this whole conversation you have presented zero. Here is another fact: wages keeping up with inflation through Dec 2024. Contradciting ur make believe they didn't. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINU…

😭😭😭 BREAKING: JD Vance blames soaring gas prices on Joe Biden 😭😭😭

@FredTheGreeat @Rothmus You didn't answer any question I posed to you. You have asserted there is no scale at all. It's just totalitarian to have any laws. Absurd.

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus x.com/FredTheGreeat/…

@Ashton44449696 @Rothmus There isn't a degree of nationalism where you have no nation. No nation isn't nationalist. If they were they cease to exist. How is this hard for you? Yes total government is left/right. Left increases power to max, right decreases to minimum. Why do you dispute?

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus Yes the opposite of total goverment is no goverment but total goverment isnt a left right thing Yes degrees of nationalism if your unwilling to concede that you dont know the definition which I find unlikely or your lieing.

@FredTheGreeat @Rothmus So to be clear you are saying that it is totalitarian to say murder is bad? Is it totalitarian to say theft is bad? If so then you basically think all government is totalitarian? What is more basic than murder/theft being illegal? A border?

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus What did I say again? Ah yes right, the state having a monopoly on deciding and enforcing what's right and wrong is inherently them exerting power, thus being totalitarian. Sorry, not my fault you can't read.

I thought you muted me? No one ever says up or down. They only say left or right. We could go with a vertical scale too. It just sounds better to say left and right. Down implies bad. No one would campaign on that. I removed the top right and bottom left because they make no sense and I offered a logical reason why.

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus By the way, the political compass already has that scale, that's what the up/down direction is, you utter buffoon. All you did was remove the left-right direction from the political compass.

@ILRedAlert I'm sure they will get right on that. Any condemnation for starting an offensive war of choice or nah?

Bahrain’s UN ambassador Jamal Alrowaiei says an urgent Security Council meeting was requested over Iranian attacks on Gulf states, Jordan and others. He adds that multiple members urged Iran to comply with a resolution demanding an immediate halt to attacks on infrastructure.

@ILRedAlert Of course there are many possibilities. America has a lot of troops to sacrifice for Bibi and Trump will be honored to send our soldiers to die.

BREAKING: Netanyahu says a revolution can’t be achieved from the air alone, noting there must also be a “ground component.” He adds there are “many possibilities” for such a component but declines to provide details.

@dalepartridge I really appreciate the irony of him saying that evil will overcome good. This is who we are fighting for.

One day, the Church will finally realize that Jews hate Jesus and that Christian Zionism is the perfect demonic perversion of Satan.

@DavidM_Friedman Except we moved the goalposts didn't we? Iran did agree to give up their nuclear material and was complying. Then Trump tore up the deal and started ratcheting up the pressure on them. Because he wanted his own deal and couldn't get one. So he bombs them to try to force it.

Then why has Iran refused to stop its military grade uranium enrichment program? If it really never wanted a nuke, it easily could have avoided decades of brutal economic sanctions. Do you all think we are stupid?

@jessisajew Actually some proof would have been great but none of that of course. Why bother? It isn't as if Bibi has proclaimed for 35 years Iran would have a bomb is it?

Couldn't have made it clearer

The real question is why did they stop and why haven't they produced a bomb? For decades we have said they will have a bomb. Why am I supposed to believe a government that repeatedly gets caught lying to me? Why do you? Also they don't have it do they? Trump destroyed it already with his big beautiful bombs so how were they going to make a bomb now? Trump has claimed they were "weeks" away which is utter BS and you know it. Why are you not criticizing these obvious lies?

Iran has a religious Fatwa that prohibits developing nuclear weapons dating back to 2004 Iran also has 440 kilograms of Uranium enriched to 60% Why?

Logic backs that up. Do you think there can be a total government? Like North Korea where if you don't have a radio turned on listening to Kim they kill you? The opposite of total government is no government. Degrees of nationalism? What does that even mean? Again, you can't have a nation without borders and all nations are nationalist. Or they wouldn't be nations. It's in the damn word.

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus Your just asserting extreme right is nothing, I dont think anything backs that up. There's nothing wrong with those 3 things I can explain them individually if youd like. There's degrees of nationalism, even if no nation exists without any of it.

@FredTheGreeat @Rothmus The irony is that you made the claim that defining murder as being bad is somehow the state acting totalitarian.

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus Ah yes, now misrepresenting what I am saying. Yeah, I'm just gonna mute this convo now, there is clearly no sense in talking to someone that not only misrepresents my argument, but also doesn't understand his own argument.

@FredTheGreeat @Rothmus It is the most accurate way to describe state power. A sliding scale from 100% to 0%. You have consistently proved me correct too. Now you run away because you've lost. Good luck to you in life.

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus So basically you are just creating a slider from less state power to more state power? Well that has to be the most useless thing I've ever heard.

Oh this is the most trustworthy set of answers I've ever seen! Totally justifies the war we started that is causing prices to increase across the board. I'm sure Iran was just about ready to develop a nuke too. That makes complete sense. After all it's only been since 1992 that Bibi has said they would have a bomb...

WATCH 🔴 The nation’s top intelligence officials testified under oath that Joe Kent is a liar.

@FreeMikeWhite @academic_la The damage in Israel is sufficient to prove they are continuing to attack.

@academic_la And I challenge you to produce an actual legit statistic showing more missile and drone launches now than in the beginning of this conflict. You won't find them.

I talked to two Israeli sources on why Iranian launches continue to increase, despite US-Israeli claims that they have destroyed almost all of the launchers. Here is what they said: 1) The 90–95% drop in volume claimed by CENTCOM earlier in the month was probably a temporary lull as Iran repositioned its remaining launchers into hardened sites. Independent satellite analysis suggests that a significant portion of the "80% destruction" claimed by the IDF actually hit high-fidelity decoys. 2) Despite fewer launchers, the lethality per strike has increased. Iran's shift to cluster warheads has allowed a single missile to impact multiple locations simultaneously, compensating for the lower volume of launches 3) Iran has successfully set up mobile, underground units able to fire at steady rates. Iran used that quiet period to move their remaining ~100-120 heavy launchers into "Super-Hardened" facilities 4) Iran is utilizing its Zolfaqar and Dezful road-mobile launchers. These units move from hardened tunnels to pre-surveyed launch spots, fire, and return underground in under 10 minutes, often before coalition drones can re-task for a strike. 5) Because these launching units are decentralized, it is very hard for US and Israeli intelligence to get info on them. Israel and the United States do not have an answer to this problem. That is why they are trying escalation on energy sources instead. But that is backfiring.

@FreeMikeWhite @academic_la Ah yes, we know where everything is and we could totally destroy it we just haven't yet because we like seeing missiles rain down constantly. Makes complete sense. Don't worry we have unlimited ammo so we will win!

@academic_la You state "a temporary lull as Iran repositioned its remaining launchers into hardened sites", you commit the fallacy of omission. The U.S. and Israeli intel, military and satellites would be able to track and destroy these movements. They know where everything is.

@ErnoeMarianne @JoeFedup @AaronRegunberg So as long as we call them terrorists it is okay to assassinate them right? So if Iran calls Bibi a terrorist (which they do) it's fine for them to assassinate him correct? Or since we are the good guys we are the only ones who get to kill people?

@NThompson_3 @JoeFedup @AaronRegunberg You support terrorists like Hamas and Hisbollah?

I was taught, and used to repeat, this line as a kid. I still wince when I think about how objectively dumb my thinking used to be. But, like, I was 11 years old. 11-year-olds often parrot what they're taught. This is an 11-year-old level of analysis. Grow up!

@sneedallthetime @monarchist If you care to refute the argument you may try. It hasn't gone well for you so far but I appreciate you posting that.

@monarchist get a load of this guy

@FredTheGreeat @Rothmus So you think murder is somehow right? What?

@NThompson_3 @Rothmus So the state having a monopoly on deciding and enforcing what's right and wrong is low levels of power? Nah, that's just stupid to the max.
