There is a reason that our language considers shit like “Get fucked” “Fuck you” and “I’m going to fuck you up” as insults.

adding on to your point, there’s also “this sucks” and “suck my dick/balls” and “they suck X’s dick” - all demeaning and insulting phrases. It’s simultaneously homophobic and misogynist, as it’s fundamentally bad to be the “sucker” and good to be the “suckee”.

War has realities that people don’t “want” but nevertheless have to be dealt with. I’m sure everyone would have preferred the war be over 1 day into 2022, but we live in the real world

Why does the victory have to be THIS YEAR? Who are you to make these arbitrary demands? Fickle westoid

Putin fought and killed American proxies in Syria under Obama, Trump and Biden. This goes against your “Putin is a stupid guy who will love Trump” narrative.

We have already seen Trump’s proposed “peace plan” for the Russo-Ukraine conflict and it’s literally identical to Biden’s with 0 concessions to Russia. Putin won’t just accept 0 concessions because it comes from a wet guy instead of a dry one

No, claiming a side doesn’t want to win is the most common form of defeatism. The “we would have won if not for the politicians” is the bitter whinge of losers.

Russia will not capitulate to the west and will never be able to amend relations. Putin has fully embraced the alliance with China, shown by him taking his entire government with him and hugging Xi immediately after landing. Nothing will shatter this friendship because both know they cannot stand alone against the existential threat of the west.

February 2022 was the burning of the last boats that could travel west. That path is forever gone.

Defeatist nonsense

that’s how a lot of these raunchy 80s comedies were with Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and the like. I remember liking Spies Like Us as a kid, and upon re-watching it’s basically 2 hours of Chevy Chase sexually harassing every woman he comes in contact with and getting rewarded for it.

The overall plot is pretty good though, American CIA psychos launching a nuke on themselves to test Star Wars and start a war with the Soviets is a pretty redpilled plotline. Very weird ending though where the Soviets and the American spies divert the missile after Star Wars fails and the CIA/military guys get arrested for their treasonous plot and the Soviets and Americans become friends and play games together. Very optimistic but not very realistic I’m afraid, nobody would arrest the perpetrators and nobody would be friendly to the Soviets

It’s weird how everyone seems to like this movie even though it is so bad

Yes

Unironically it is the revolutionary defeatist duty of all Americans to attack the fascist American proxy state and genocidal project known as “Israel”

Recognize the role of the US empire in Palestinian oppression. Recognize that jews are in an ambivalent racial category and are an oppressed people. Be specific when criticizing Israeli colonialism. Name who you’re criticizing, is it the settlements? The IDF? Likud? The US military Industrial Complex? Stop calling for ethnic cleansing of jews if you’ve been doing that. Don’t equate jewishness with whiteness / the Nazis. White people are white people, the US is the Nazis.

Why isn’t “Israel” on your list of OK to criticize groups? The colonialist state of Israel needs to be destroyed and wiped off the face of the earth, and this is not anti-semitic to say. I’ve not seen one person on this site blaming all jews for anything. Can you provide even a single example of this that wasn’t quickly removed by mods? Stop vague posting and concern trolling if you don’t have an explicit example, now is not the time to center the attention on yourself.

The battle is also displayed in a very symmetrical way, instead of the actual asymmetrical reality of bombing dense civilian areas with impunity coming from the Israelis, and a couple stray rockets coming from the Palestinians.

Furthermore, we should remember that unpacking this conflict in an adequately thorough manner would require examining it through a diverse range of lenses such as antisemitism, Islamic fundamentalism, the Holocaust, imperialism, contact theory, and many more, all while keeping in mind valid but competing narratives of victimhood that span hundreds of years.

Annoying libshit, whenever anyone says this issue is complex and older than 70 years they have no idea what they are talking about. The Palestinian-Israel problem has nothing to do with the Holocaust and very little to do with anti-semitism. It’s annoying that even left leaning parody articles carry water for Zionist fake narratives
