Jesus, ResetEra members are stupid. They think Iran is winning.

Quote:Where is all the paper tiger talk I saw yesterday

Quote:seriously.. did people think iran having the biggest missile arsenal in the middle east was a joke? even if they arent as advanced as israel's

What does Iran have like 2,000? 3,000? missiles? They've already lobbed like 200 to 300 missiles. And I'm pretty sure most of those 3k are medium to short range that can't even reach Israel. They need the big ballistic ones to hit Israel to win this.  Iran's going to shoot their wad in a week or so and then what? Going to go to the ballistic missile store and buy some more? It's not like they're going to suddenly ramp up production. Or try to invade by land or sea. Meanwhile, Israel can hit them with glide bombs and a bunch of other shit. Lol netanyahu said they planned to keep it up for like 2 weeks or something right?

Once again I'm betting on Israel.

Nice, healthy place you cultivated there, B-Dubs.

I never take any suicide thread on Era seriously. Years of reading shit from people like Melody Shreds have convinced me that it's all a grift to get people to DM you and privately send you money.

But this dude is definitely a troll. I'm not sure if I find him entertaining or not. On the one hand, he's very, very obvious. On the other, claiming he's 'suicidal' has made him unbannable and, so, he's pretty abusive to alot of people replying to him.

First of all, he's made a total of just 26 posts and has been a member for just 2 months.
why the fuck has this not been actioned on era and moved to a quarantine thread outside of public view for law enforcement only?

Uhm... if a kid assaults a woman you take them aside, speak to them in a stern yet respectful tone, and explain to them that what they're doing is toxic masculinity and that they need to be better. Matching assault with assault does nothing.
I got a laugh at some of the case study posters outing themselves without realizing it. “When I was a child, adults in my life thought it was appropriate to hit me. Now I am adult who thinks it is appropriate to hit children.”

Curious!

These dudes are all obsessed with language games to justify their behavior. If someone "assaults" me I'm free to "assault" them in any way and it's totally equal and not to be criticized! Call me the n-word, I kill you, same thing. Have something I think is mine, I slaughter a music festival, same thing. Throw food at my wife, I nuke the neighborhood, same thing. It's all just violence!
For a site that loves talking about fragile masculinity or white fragility or whatever fragility you want to mention they sure are a fragile ass bunch.

Quote:Fascists never look at art to have any meaning. So the irony wouldn't occur to them. It's like his love of "YMCA" while utterly gutting LGBTQ rights
Never get tired of:
1. Everything they don't like being a core tenet of fascism especially if the original fascists believed the exact opposite.
2. People who push relentlessly to strip art from the meaning intended by the author yelling about the meaning of art and how you're mandated by "media literacy" to adhere to a party line interpretation of it.
3. Constantly lecturing people that you can't like music for anything but the lyrical meaning.
4. Saying rights are always being "utterly gutted" even though they couldn't come up with a single example because they haven't been. (And they never oppose any actual gutting of rights, see for example, Nepenthe and the prominents arguing that free speech is meaningless and should not ever be allowed. Or that AI lawsuit thread where they want storing knowledge to be illegal.)
5. Declaring irony when there's none.

I'm quite confused on why this is here but not one for Sony? Sony has a chips company in Israel, is involved in promoting Israel and thus obviously agrees with their actions. There's even evidence Sony contributed control boards and cameras for rockets used by Israel. Yet no post? No stance to boycott or reduce use of Sony?

They may not be as "offensive" as Microsoft with their actions but complicit is complicit.

If there would be a enforced tag the buzz can be voluntary ignored by everyone who wishes so.

Theres so many games you can pretty much completely block out anything from Microsoft and have an alternative from any other publisher possible.

There is 0 unique Microsoft games, or almost any corpo games including Sony, EA, Ubisoft, (except just maybe Nintendo), that you absolutely must play games from said publisher.

I have 0 problems with never touching a microsoft game again and will not miss out on anything unique that doesnt exist in another form.

Yea thats fair but Israel has constantly inflamed the situation, they are the perpetrators and they have killed a lot more people. By killing civilians in Iran they have invited the same in Israel. The bill is due at some point and its tiring to hear people whine about Israeli deaths even now. Do 1500 hundred Israeli lives mean more than 100,000 plus lives lost due to Israeli action?

After the countless atrocities they have committed do you have nothing better to do than act the morally right "enlightened centrist " shocked and dismayed by the uncouth civilians of other countries directly impacted by Israel's warmongering and crimes against humanity?

So yea sure its bad politics, bad morals or bad in general for people in yemen, palestine , iran to celebrate the hits against Israel technically since all life is sacred and violence technically shouldn't be celebrated. Though in saying that Israel as a country are monstrous with polls supporting the cruelty as well as several celebrations of massacres and Israeli violence upon innocents. So what does it all matter?

The gulf just loves those greenbacks so much they'd risk losing it all by keeping the pipes operational, though
They really can't help themselves from thinking Muslims should all be aligned on every topic. Yeah, the gulf states should shut down all oil trade to help people they hate. lol

With how many bombs have been dropped, Gaza has been hit with nearly six nukes now, but without the radioactive fallout and in a slower more methodical manner to continue the lie of "war" when it's always been a genocide. Now the internet in Gaza is out and the conflict with Iran is taking up the media coverage while Gazans starve and get shot at for the crime of seeking food.

And yet the most likely scenario is one where Israel dominates the region and its neighbors with its fascism. We're heading towards a scenario where Israel will become an unprecedented force in the region, able to bomb its neighbors with zero repercussions, something that even Iran was not capable of.
Quote:Iran or any nation would be able to do that if, you know, were armed, funded and supported by US. Israel cant bully, steal land, commit war crimes on neighbours without US.

The news today all day has been showing videos of Israeli injured and destroyed places framing them as the victims of the war yet they did none of that literally a day before when Iran was attacked. I see condemnation of Iran attacks by leaders but none for Israel's attacks.
Like Israel, Iran's been doing terrorism attacks for decades now. Just an FYI.

Yeah, Iran's regime being one of them. Same as Israel's regime.
E-bite wrote:Yes, that is correct.
I just want to make sure people realize that the Iranian regime is a blood thirsty regime. They are not any less evil than Israel.

I'm pretty sure the genocidal apartheid state with a decades-long history of rogue and clandestine operations far beyond its borders, including at one point assisting apartheid South Africa's own nuclear ambitions, with a network that directly undermines and meddles in western democratic systems, is a little more evil

No one is denying their evil, but genocide of an entire population puts Israel government as an imminent threat to humanity.

This guy needs help for his media consumption:

Dude who never voted with the ugly racist kid is apparently now a Middle East expert:

Their ultimate goal is to annex all of Palestine and kick out or kill all Palestinians. Anyone who stands in the way of that is an automatic enemy.

Same excuse when they say they're just targeting Hamas and subsequentely level all of Gaza and starve the entire populace. Same as saying they're just targeting Hezbollah positions when they hit economic infrastructure, power plants, roads, schools, hospitals, emergency personnel, airports and massacre thousands of civilians. They're a bloodthirsty and racist regime that doesn't want any challenge to their power in the region and they'll target everything in their sight to try and bring any challengers to their knees and turn those people against their governments (never works) and that includes genocide.

These speeches you see from Netanyahu and whoever preaching they care about Iranians and they're our brothers and sisters is bullshit.

And also because the world lets them. It's been going on for decades and is a massive reason there's so much animosity in the Middle East towards the West.

This thread is full of too much stupidity to even read every page:

hmm

ITT Era collectively comes out in favor of corporal punishment and beating kids generally.

Remember kids, The race of those involved is important when determining right and wrong!  Is it genetically embedded in their ivory demon souls?   Or is it a result of the slings and arrows of systemic overlords that don't allow them to work for Pixar?

There is only one right answer!

Is she saying other Black people would have murdered a child?

I keep telling you guys she's racist against Black people.

edit: Actually, I love how racist that forum is that they think beating children in public is a Black thing.

Plus that they're bragging about it like most whites below middle class (and many in the middle class) wouldn't do the same thing. (The upper and upper middle class whites would employ passive aggression and other psychological forms of discipline.)
