You can say Nazi. Self censorship doesn’t help anyone other than advertisers

The Lebanese government wasn’t really in a position to be able to dislodge Hezbollah from southern Lebanon previously, as far as I can tell. Now that Iran is in chaos they may see this as an opening to make the attempt.

If Europe wasn’t pissed about this before, I’m sure they will be now that their gas bills will shoot through the roof. This madness needs to stop

Good people can do bad things and bad people can do good things. You can be reviled that Bill was cozy with a pedo while also being thankful for however he helped bring about an end to the Troubles.

The blind leading the blind is too kind of a characterization

I’m certainly not Chinamaxxing, but I have been enjoying the music of a rapper called SKAI ISYOURGOD. He blends traditional Cantonese music with Memphis style hip hop beats in a really novel way. I love when two disparate cultures mix in a way to make something new that is more than the sum of its parts.

Preparations are underway to handle the influx, with officials planning to step up security and establish temporary car parks and portable toilet facilities to reduce pressure on neighbourhoods.

I try not to

Authorities cited sanitation issues among the most serious problems, including cases of visitors entering private homes to use toilets, relieving themselves in residential yards, and causing confrontations when challenged, according to Kyodo News.

Safety worries have also emerged, particularly from families living nearby. According to the city, parents have reported children being pushed aside on school routes as large crowds gather along narrow pavements to reach popular photo spots.

The fuck is wrong with people?

Sorok Sorokov, a powerful Orthodox nationalist group, said many Russians had not understood that times had changed and that the state should tighten its control over such performances to stem what it called a general decline in moral values.

“In recent years, comedians have often crossed red lines and made jokes about topics that are taboo in any normal society,” said Georgy Soldatov, director of the group’s human rights centre.

“Human rights center”

Soroush feels that the lives of Iranians have turned into a game for the country’s leaders and for Western powers. He points to the betting website Polymarket, where many have bet thousands of dollars on a US strike on the night of 31 January.

“Our lives and our deaths have become entertainment,” he said. “A game for others.”

It takes a special kind of soulless degenerate to bet on war and death like this. Western society is rotten to the core.

Saba, 41, spoke of her fear for the future of her eight-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. She also described her frustration with the government’s repression, the self-interest of opposition figures abroad, and the US warmongering.

“What a miserable people we are,” she said. “Our rulers massacre people in the streets. Reza Pahlavi has become the face of our opposition abroad. And our enemy is a fool like Donald Trump.”

Amen, Saba. I couldn’t agree with you more. What a sad state that or so called leaders keep us divided when we so clearly share more in common with each other than we do our own leaders.

Shit, I live in NJ and I’d like to join Canada, minus the whole monarch head of state part. I’m willing to overlook that for obvious reasons. I like hockey guys, let me in! I suspect that I should probably keep the fact that I’m a flyers fan on the down low.

Just textbook narcissism, shocking stuff.

This is the shit that annoys me. “Yes Im on a platform that gladly takes money for fascist advertising and removes anything but the most milquetoast criticisms of the regime, but I really need to talk about attack on titan with other spineless dorks so here I am”

We’re fucked as a society.

Honestly embarassing levels of arrogance in that oversight

You still haven’t articulated how he’s the one being bullied and not USA house, but ok.

I’m not a fan of Gavin since he’s just a run of the mill neoliberal, but I think it’s silly to characterize this as his getting bullied, the USA House was the one that caved in this instance.

What do you want him to do, force himself in to speak? I’m not a fan of the guy but I don’t understand what he’s supposed to do here

I can only hope to be lucky enough to see a day like this in the states.

Ah, he’s from Misery. Shocker.
