I’m awfully curious as to how the author would explain away state socialists regularly reporting on the oppression of Palestinians.

    Anyone that listens to Israel supporters on a question about human dignity is a fucking idiot.

    I stress human dignity rather than “rights” because the goal of the rights these dipshits demand is not to create human dignity but to undermine those who demand it.

    You are damn right that I support doing things to the epstein class - billionaires, the financial elite, their puppets, bourgeois media, etc - that will go against their “human rights”. A tiny tiny percent of people have to be overthrown and their rights will be trodden on in the process and there is no avoiding that. This will however return human dignity to literally billions of people under the rein of their terror internationally. Not overnight, but it is the first step on the path.

    Screenshot me losers. If you’re in those groups you deserve it and I expect nothing less of you than to fight us. If you’re not in those groups what the fuck are you doing fighting FOR those groups instead of yourself?

      I will screenshot it, but only to print it, frame it, put it by my bed, and have it be the last thing I fall asleep to and the first thing I wake up to

      For future reference, the Mark Twain quote:

      Why, it was like reading about France and the French, before the ever memorable and blessed Revolution, which swept a thousand years of such villainy away in one swift tidal wave of blood – a settlement of that hoary debt in proportion of half a drop of blood for each hogshead of it that had been pressed by slow tortures out of that people in the weary stretch of ten centuries of wrong and shame and misery the like of which was not to be mated but in hell. There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would be remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the ax compared with lifelong death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by the older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
