Yeah no. That’s antisemitic bullshit you see literal Nazis spout off about.

This recent “story” was only posted in a shitty tabloid, picked up by a couple other shitty tabloids, and gullible people spread it all over social media.

Well I’m convinced! /s

Idk, pretty sure TinTin is Belgian

My favourite is “absolute free speech!!” combined with “if you say something someone doesn’t like, they are entitled to punch you”

Anyone who says that is forgetting that punching falls under assault.

Hate speech is far beyond merely “something I don’t like”. It is advocating for the oppression and even eradication of people based on their very identity.

Hate speech should not be tolerated if we want to live in a society that tolerates the existence of others. (So called “paradox of tolerance” which is really not a paradox when you frame it as I have). We can tolerate the existence of bigoted assholes but prohibit them spreading their bigotry. Otherwise we live in a society that supports intolerance.

I was told earlier today this was due to a transporter accident.

Well, we sure as shit better not get “involved” on the ground in Iran.

What a disgusting load of bullshit.

The school board is going to investigate. I wonder what will happen.

The article below has more details of the whole fiasco.

The real obstacles are anti-intellectualism and extremist right wing propaganda.

Oh shut yer fuckin borscht hole already, сука блять

Interesting. I know that Ukraine was given a bunch of handheld anti tank weapons to great effect. And I guess the Bradleys are supposed to be adept as tank killers?

I’m not sure what Russia has in the way of similar besides drones.

Why do they even need the M1 tanks?

Uh have they tried using anti mine systems to clear a path? I’m pretty sure western military doesn’t just go charging forward crossing their fingers…

Yes true if they lack appropriate air support and logistics support. Which is the case for Ukraine.

Modern western strategy is very different from that of WW2. The key is integration of air support, artillery, armor, infantry, etc. If Ukraine had superior fighter jets, to gain air superiority and anti tank and anti personnel platforms like A10 and Apache, all platforms working in sync and all backed by logistics support to keep everything operating, it would be a different story I guess.

Related, I wonder if they’re suggesting the old Russian tanks would somehow perform better than the western ones? Because as far as I know, western tanks have the best armor systems, the highest accuracy, and the ability to fire while moving. Maybe they need to adapt their tactics to make better use of their platforms?

From an evolutionary standpoint, yeah, we’re donuts or tubes. It was either that or cups. Those creatures, like sea anemones eat and expel, erm, waste out of the same hole.

An example of a fellow tube is a sea cucumber

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit

At least you can admit you were wrong and change your mind. Those abilities are all too rare.

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

This is fascinating!

I’m also curious what causes idioms to be shared across languages, like “pearls before swine” (presumably this is shared because of the biblical verse, Matt 7:6)
