The point is that Nagasaki and Hiroshima weren’t exceptional, but rather typical of US bombing strategies against civilian populations that the US has continued to use into the modern day.

IIRC the damage inflicted by the atomic bombings weren’t especially noteworthy compared to the rest of the bombing campaign, and it was more a way to test out their new toys. If the nukes hadn’t been used but conventional bombing had continued, it would likely have had a similar result. This video by Shaun lays out a pretty compelling case that the Japanese surrender was due to the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria.
This is all ignoring of course that despite the insistence of unconditional surrender, the Americans accepted surrender with conditions and allowed the emperor to continue to hold his titles anyway. There’s definitely something to be said about taking maximalist positions just to make a point even when they don’t actually care about several of the goals that make up those positions.
This is apparently not the original version, but in the context in which it’s used on hexbear, this is the full image:
Personally I think a gradual transition towards statelessness is necessary, because people are currently used to living in a state and are generally quite skeptical of sudden rapid change, even if it would be purely positive. Even if the capitalists were eliminated tomorrow and their propaganda networks shut down immediately, the general populace would still be infected by their brainworms for at least a generation.
Those dastardly russians keep putting sticks in the spokes of my bikes. They even make it look like I’m the one doing it!
President Xi, the people of Occupied Cascadia yearn for freedom, please send Chengdu J-20 stealth fighters.
I was just listening to an old podcast ep () from 2021 IIRC talking about the TRIPS waiver, and how they “didn’t want to be too cynical” about Biden doing a whole song and dance which would amount to nothing. Just googled it and sure enough, we’re still fucking blocking it. The american government must be destroyed.
I guess “The US will very likely end the world in nuclear hellfire” doesn’t roll of the tongue as well.
You forgot Women’s Beach Volleyball.
She may not be a villain but she’s a liberal for not killing Batman and the billionaire right now.
Eh, it’d be a good step in the right direction if they did stack the court (though term limits and a code of conduct are laughable half-measures at best), but I have my doubts the dems will do anything. If they sincerely believed that the american right wanted to end democracy and put dem politicians in camps (to be clear, they’re fine with other people being in camps), one would assume they’d be using that newfound presidential immunity to start drone striking “threats to the republic”.
Edit: oh and obviously whatever tools the dems use, the republicans will use more ruthlessly as they care far, far less about optics. Might as well play to win.
Hopefully all this stress gives him a stroke!
There is no threat from an electoral left third party in the US, and the Democrats would rather lose to the Republicans than stop the genocide, so no, there is nothing to be learned.
He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.
Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.
On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.
Partly (the article does refer to it being the language of NATO), but it looks to be more about joining the EU.
I did this at my work and got a little dongle that displays a string of numbers I have to enter when prompted.
They want the ability to shoot down other countries’ satellites when they go to war with them. Things like disabling communication satellites and GPS (or Russia’s equivalent, GLONASS).
Kessler Syndrome? Never heard of it.
“We’re taking this seriously”
Then why have they not arrested (and hopefully executed) Trump and most of his toadies yet? Seems like they’re not that serious.
The end of Israel as an apartheid genocidal settler-colonial state. You can look to South Africa for an example.
