Wine liberals really, really like war.
They don't want to participate, but they get really excited when it's on screens.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
at a subconscious level they understand the need for fixed capital destruction and penetration of new markets, to avoid falling profits
Honestly I think being called pussies all throughout the Bush era gave them a complex. Liberals want to be conservatives because liberals believe slanderous conservative propaganda about liberals
The empire demands endless suffering
It's always funny to see them get mad when I ask them to volunteer in Ukraine. Well Redditors get mad, wine libs talk about nuance.
I need you to make a rant about nuance some day, like how you made one about feeeemales 
(can't hear it any other way after starting to watch DS9)
"Nuance" is the "let people enjoy things" rhetorical free pass for atrocities and war crimes.
How's that?
Very very good
Rule 1 to reading the NYT. Never ever read an opinion piece.
Rule 2: everything is an opinion piece.
Even the crossword puzzle, and especially the Wordle.
Bed bugs feeling especially frisky at this time of the year, huh?
Dont siege Iran, invade them immediately
how ~~Hitler~~ United States could have won WW3
>Don't terror bomb Gaza and Lebanon, focus on missile production facilities
>Demand Zelensky not to be a REDACTED with Donbass
>Don't siege Iran, take it immediately
>Zurge rush South China Sea to cut off Chinese semiconductors
>Ally with Slavs against the Commies

Bret, you go first & let us know how it goes
NYT doing NY Crimes
"I do not think Israel is the aggressor here", he said. "Insofar as getting the story right helps Israel, I guess you could say I'm trying to help Israel."
The controversy gained massive attention online, leading to then-president Donald Trump tweeting, "lightweight journalist Bret Stephens, a Conservative who does anything that his bosses at the paper tell him to do! He is now quitting Twitter after being called a 'bedbug.' Tough guy!"
In a December 2019 column titled "The Secrets of Jewish Genius",[42] in which he contended that Ashkenazi Jews have a history of alternative thinking which has led them to be successful. This article led to accusations of eugenics and racism. The column originally said that "Ashkenazi Jews might have a marginal advantage over their gentile peers when it comes to thinking better. Where their advantage more often lies is in thinking different."[43][44] Following widespread criticism, The New York Times editors deleted the section of the column in which he appeared to claim that Ashkenazi Jews are genetically superior to other groups.[45] The editors said that Stephens erred in citing an academic study by an author with "racist views" whose 2005 paper advanced a genetic hypothesis for the basis of intelligence among Ashkenazi Jews.[45][46] The Times's deletion was criticized by Jonathan Haidt, Nadine Strossen, and Steven Pinker, who called it "surrender to an outrage mob".[47]
In February 2021, Stephens wrote a column critical of the Times's dismissal of Donald McNeil for using a racial slur against African Americans in the context of a discussion with students of the slur's usage. Six students present on the occasion said that McNeil had used the word "in a way that they perceived as casual, unnecessary or even gratuitous", but one of them added that "McNeil's opinions didn't disparage African Americans".[48] The Times spiked the column,[49][50] but it was leaked to the New York Post, which published it.[51] Stephens principally argued against the editor's initial position that the newspaper would "not tolerate racist language regardless of intent";[49][51] the editor subsequently backed down from that position.
To add, I was going to mention that Bret Stephens is especially terrible, even for NY Crimes.
Bret Stephens
Seriously, this is the guy that penned
"The World That Awaits the Next President - maintaining our global primacy is worth the price in effort, treasure and sometimes blood"
"We Should Want Israel to Win - even supporters of Palestinian statehood should want Hezbollah and Hamas to lose"
This guy is the op ed column equivalent of John Bolton
"The World That Awaits the Next President - maintaining our global primacy is worth the price in effort, treasure and sometimes blood"
It's a trite point, but imagine a major Chinese newspaper publishing an article with this title. We'd never hear the end of it.
Holy shit. I shouldn't be surprised but he brought out the old "Iran is nearly there" chestnut.
This year, Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Iran was within a week or two of being able to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb.
Emphasis mine.
As for Israel, it has demonstrated again that its investment in missile-defense technologies that critics said would never work has paid off, chiefly in hundreds or thousands of lives saved. The same type of counterconventional wisdom will serve it well as it completes Hezbollah’s decapitation in Lebanon and Hamas’s evisceration in Gaza. Wars, once entered, need to be fought through to an unequivocal victory.
I'm stealing "counterconventional". At least the comments aren't what I expected. They're shitting on him hard.
If Iran got nukes, all these pro war opinion columns would go away.
Absolutely amazing, no reflection on the run-up to the Iraq War even though there was so much handwringing about how it was wrong and they should've been more skeptical and they had a temporary bout on insanity cause George Bush was just so charismatic and they'd never do it again
Before or after the election?
Judith Miller's NYTimes up to the same old warmongering, I see.
BEDBUG
Bret and rest of the new york crimes should enlist considering their ghoul ass love talking about starting wars.
“The infestation of bedbugs at The New York Times office” @OANN was perhaps brought in by lightweight journalist Bret Stephens, a Conservative who does anything that his bosses at the paper tell him to do! He is now quitting Twitter after being called a “bedbug.” Tough guy!
We absolutely need to track down those NYT warmongers when all is said and done, and try them at Nuremburg like Goebbels would have been, had he not killed himself.
I'm not saying we should find this freak and do things that would get me banned and or authorities to track my ass down. I'm not saying that.
fucking bretbug
You first, Brett. Sign up and be the first one on the front lines.
It should be a bannable offense to post a direct link to the New York Kkkrimes. https://archive.ph/As67l
(but because I want Israel to overstep and get annihilated)
