That’s a nice summary of some of the mental gymnastics going on!

Jerry, is this you?

Specifically pretend-progressive idiots, for whom progess is great when it’s for their approved groups.

Nah, just have him say what he thinks about Palestinians and muslims. The rest follows.

Phew, for a moment I thought he’d give a lecture on the anarchist.

Apparently so.

Exactly. In the context it was discussed, it was a white thing.

You should see the CNN segment where a white lady argued with the black host that slavery wasn’t a white thing. CNN, not Fox.

Oh wow, they actually wrote this title. 😯

These can’t shoot down F35, can they?

Wouldn’t this be bad for American and other companies hoping to extract minerals and agri products for cheap?

Interesting. This does make some sense. I think Israel claimed they destroyed a significant number of Iran’s missile arsenal but I don’t know how true that was and how much Iran had remaining. One thing is clear though, if the air defences run out of fodder, then cheaper missiles, perhaps even drones become effective.

Yeah that makes sense.

I don’t know if that is what forced this particular ceasefire today. Didn’t uncle Donnie yell at Bibi to halt an attack that was already in flight? I don’t know how long Israel could continue this and how long Iran could their response. Technically Israel has the US economy producing weapons for its strikes whereas Iran, AFAIK can only count on themselves at the moment.

Reserve army of labour

Troubles in the region began a month ago, when the local banana workers union joined a nationwide protest against proposed pension cuts and declared a strike.

In Bocas del Toro, the unrest has been largely led by workers at a Chiquita Brands banana plantation.

Banana workers get pensions these days? Wow Chiquita has really let itself go hasn’t it.

Yeah. Will march for the first time this year. Gotta show visible support.

I don’t know if anyone has any real information but I’d think Iran would be shooting air bases and such. Targets that hurt Israel’s ability to hurt Iran. Israel’s command probably cares less about a residential building (full of people or empty) than a hangar with F35s.

I tried threatening DeepSeek into revealing sensitive information. Didn’t work. 😄
