The context would be everything here. If the OP is claiming internal struggle between various populations of people in the area have caused the issues of the middle east, he would be wrong. If OP is discussing the consistent attacks and interference by colonial, imperialist, globalist, capitalist powers from all corners of the earth because of the intrinsic value of exploitable resources of the area, they’re right. Same with Africa.
The entire middle east is not a series of nomadic people, nomads are sub populations at best, they’re are plenty of stationary groups that have lived in a specific area and have built nations based on those links. The biggest issue the middle east has is the value of the shit under the ground to the west.
Hives of scum and villany!
That’s the literal dictionary definition of whitewashing. These world fucks are absolute idiots, every last one, no exceptions, none. Seriously, not one exception, all of them, every single one.

1·3 days agoThere’s plenty of video of people getting killed by police or otherwise extrajudicially. It happens pretty frequently.
The only televised visible killings that can actually cause the government to stop doing the things they are doing that are causing the deaths are the white people.
The killing of George Floyd was a Flashpoint, just like Flint water or BLM. The racial component had no power to affect the mostly white state or federal government, and all those thing resulted in MORE police power, not less.
People only really care when white people die.

201·4 days agoYou can see it now very clearly. The meta is massive blocks of text with a dozen citations that must take an incredible amount of time to create, or are being assisted by an LLM. If you don’t reply to doubt or trolling with 10,000 words, you ain’t really communist.
They’ve created a Facebook Christian type prosetylization communication style that is both super comfy to members and even more isolating to outsiders. Your knowledge must be doctoral level.
It looks like when bones of the moon would post the sovereign citizen shit. Then if you even slightly call it out you get modded off. So these posts are just paragraphs and paragraphs of replies full of citations replying to deleted comments. It’s crazy to see how the echo chamber has progressed over time.

6·4 days agoThe heat immediately died down when they stopped killing white people. I had people screaming at me that this wasn’t racial, but the second you stop killing white people you stop seeing as much pushback.
I’m not sure he even does that, according to the article, he goes to meetings from business open to close then fires off a few emails here and there. This dude’s most marketable skill is filling space in a chair while people talk around or at him for 10 hours. Fucking billionaires.
If anyone wanted to exploit international secrets, it would be a great time!
Is he gonna ask Obama to stop bombing civilians, cause it’s a little late for that shit.

I didn’t downvoted any of your comments, I’m just done with thy convo, that was my last piece.

5·12 days agoYeah, that’s fair. I guess maybe extremely common compared to the harvesting of penises that don’t have a baculum?
Ahh idealism, I remember that shit. I think people suck at a fundamental level, only humans are capable of being anti human, and they do it frequently. You want a rational answer to an irrational response, the answer is that it doesn’t matter. Spin your wheels trying to dig turds out of a toilet.
Sure, fundamentally people who engage with a right wing version of a populist message are still looking for the same things. But where the separation happens is how these groups deal with negative externalities.
A random person who is part of a right wing coalition in the US will burn down everything good to ensure that someone they don’t like doesn’t get even a taste of a good life. Then you just have convince them who that enemy is. Compassion is a true weakness when the person you are compassionate for isn’t you in a mirror.
I’m not saying you don’t reach out with a message, I’m saying don’t be fooled into thinking people who agree with making a living wage and universal Healthcare agree with EVERYONE making a living wage and having Healthcare. In fact they would rather not have it if it means you also get it.

I saw this watching moonshiners on the history channel, so take it with a grain of salt, but the moonshiners were obsessed with them. Since they bend down at the end, you stick the bone into the spigot where the liquid comes out of the worm bucket (where the alcohol vapor condenses into liquid). It directs the flow into a jar. You can also use a stick, but these dudes were always just carrying raccoon dick bones that I’m sure they harvested themselves.
