  • I'm not an American exceptionalist. I don't think there's anything extraordinarily broken about Americans that isn't present elsewhere.

    You can take that optimistically ("We don't have to continue this pattern, just change our circumstances") or pessimistically ("Oh, so that's why there's so much backsliding towards far-right parties worldwide")

  • But... no one voted for Harris in the primaries.

    None of us at least. Harris only ran in 2020, and dropped out before the primary elections actually began; in 2024 she was appointed by the DNC because fuckwit Biden waited until the last minute to drop out.

  • ... username checks out?

    The CiC is only one of many roles the president has. It would be like saying "If you're voting for the ONLY OFFICIAL WHO CAN AUTHORIZE A NUCLEAR ATTACK to avoid launching a nuclear attack on another country, you don't deserve to vote."

    The fucking military is a tool of last resort for the defense of the US and its allies - or rather, that's how it should be. Instead, orange fuckwit is starting a war he himself warned against under previous administrations - not that previous administrations were even fucking close to war with Iran.

    It's all projection. And the shit-eaters in the electorate eat it up with joy on their lips.

  • They either chose it, or were operating with such a level of callousness and incompetence that we may as well count them as choosing it, considering the precision of modern weaponry.

  • At the end of the day, it legitimately doesn't matter whether it turns out 'well' or not, because pretty indisputably, it's going to turn out worse than if we had not done it.

    International relations aren't some fucking game (angry in general, not at you) where it's as simple as win or lose, like these fuckwits are playing at. If these cretins somehow (and against their own authoritarian natures) installed a legitimately democratic and stable government over Iran when the dust all settles, that will not be an improvement over the Iranian people doing so themselves; and such a result is not possible unless the Iranian people are ready to do it.

    The government would end up struggling with issues of perceived legitimacy, diplomatic prejudices from real or imagined obligations to Israel and the USA, and the enduring issue of the massive human and material costs of a foreign invasion, no matter how well-executed (and considering the opening salvo has killed some 85 children, I'm not fucking optimistic about the competency with which it will be executed).

    More likely, these fuckwits are going to try, if they 'succeed', to install a repressive puppet government that acts in their interests instead of the interests of the current ruling class.

  • Trump just ruined the lives of another 85 little girls, because he can't stop himself.

    And no one else is willing to stop him, it would seem.

  • Netanyahu says there are signs Khamenei dead, calls on Iranians to 'finish the job'

    Jump

  • Israel: "Yes, we started shit, but we don't want to finish it, that's what we have useful idiots for."

    Fuck's sake.

    There's a nonzero chance that the replacement for Khamenei, IF he is dead, will end up being an improvement, due to the pre-existing unrest in the country. But it sure as shit won't be because any of this fucking shit was a good idea on the part of Israel or the USA, nor will it be an ideal fucking solution because now any replacement of the Islamic Republic will be widely perceived as (and considering the Trump administration and Israel, very likely actually be ) a puppet administration.

    More likely, for that matter, is that an outside attack rallies Iranians around the shitty government they were just protesting, the way Americans rallied around our shitty government after 9/11. The shitty government may kill you in a year's time; the outside attack will kill you today.

    Don't worry, Trump and Bibi will bravely feed Iranian civilians and American servicecritters into the meat grinder until their respective criminal investigations stop.

  • Iran's revolutionary guards tell ships passage through Strait of Hormuz 'not allowed', EU naval mission official says

  • And the American electorate will blame immigrants, liberals, LGBT folk, and our own allies before they lay the blame on Trump for rising prices.

  • Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say

  • Oh, these fuckwits.

  • International affairs are entirely noncredible at this point in time

  • Nah, you didn't make it any harder for me. I'm just in a state of pre-existing agitation from shit being started with Iran. And the opening salvo reportedly hitting a fucking girls' school.

    Ain't your comment's fault. Just what my tone would be anywhere on this fucking topic.

  • Agh. Christ.

    Fuck me.

    I fucking hate the ghouls I have the misfortune I call my countrymen. These fuckwits voted for this, and claimed they weren't. And when it happened, they greedily lapped up all the justifications fed to them.

    Infinite increases for the defense budget, not one cent for the defense of democracies.

  • placenta - a layered cake. It’s kind of gross to compare a layered cake with the structure/organ/whatever developed in pregnancy, but eh.

    Oh, is that why people looked at me weird when I started talking how delicious a good placenta is?

    ānus - it was supposed to be any ring. Not just “that” one. (…ānus dēlendus est!)

    Julia... will you marry me? [presents anus as she tears up and nods]

    But by far the weirdest one IMO is neither native to Latin nor borrowed, it’s inherited: Romanian “a dezmierda” to caress, to pet. It’s etymologically “to disenshittify”. As in, you got some baby, baby did #2, you need to take care of it, right? It’s gross and cute at the same time.

  • I mean, I feel like "better than the alternatives" needs to be added, as it's not implied by your original comment. It very easily can be read as just "Fediverse bad", as something being a good idea does not imply that it is, itself, in any way good or better than the opposition.
