I think I'm beginning to understand how people get radicalized...

Mix in a small amount of facts, borderline fantasy beliefs and questionable mental stablity and you get that.

Yes, that school was attached to a IRGC compound base. Unfortunate but understandable.

And they didn't bomb the school with knowledge of "Hey let's go kill a bunch of kids"

I get a little triggered when people are like "who's your mt Rushmore of blah blah blah?" like 3 point shooters, or novelists, or whatever tf...and it's like you dumb ****, do you have any idea what mt Rushmore represents? like "who's your mt Rushmore of genocidal racists carved into a ****ing sacred mountain stolen from people they slaughtered?" and that's not a fringe idea. t

Who's your mt rushmore of genocidal racists carved into a mountain?


Can you be non-racist genocidal?

Like, we gotta get rid of all these gypsies, but purely for aesthetic reasons?


I listened to podcast last about conspiracy theories kinda.

Guy was talking to his dad who became a but conspiracy theorist. Right wingish but not all of them. Its weird how outlandish the theories get and how confident they are. Haven't listened to the last couple posts.

I could see 9/11 being an inside job to some degree, pizza gate having some amount of truth, maybe the Clinton's murdering someone but those are tame compared to some of the things. And those are all on the lower likelihood and this guy was very confident.

Yes. You could genocide based on something other than race.

Religion or nationality or whatever, everything is on the table I guess!


So

Ghengis Khan
Paul Muad'Dib
Pol Pot
Ender Wiggin


aids might have been manmade in an attempt to genocide needle drug users and anal sex havers. so not racist


I have never read Mencius and don't know the first thing about him but last night in sleep my mind was trying to convince me he was just "gay Confucius" which I don't even know what that means.

Maybe someone who has read him can confirm.

I concede the point.

"I'm not crazy, it's everyone else that is crazy." has a bit of truth in it.

Bookstore owners
Video store owners
Blacksmiths
Computer Programmers
Automobile drivers


Blacksmithing is making a comeback. You can get an electric forge very cheaply and get into knife making and whatnot.


Not the first group I would genocide imo


Feel like the adults were the genociders not ender

2nd book is called Xenocide, a nickname for Ender. I do take your point.


wait, didn't ender know what he was doing? I mean wasn't he lying to himself, and he had figured out that he was killing a whole species?

also orson Scott card is all kinds of ****ed up. even worse than jk Rowling, by a lot.


That's never how I interpreted it


I read that Russia is providing Iran with US targeting info. Kind of makes sense. Turn about and all that stuff.

It's probably fair to say that they aren't going to be giving Iran any weapons.


I thought this was a proxy war with China.


I remember the iron shiek in pro wrestling




are the consumers who ended up getting gouged by Trump's illegal tariffs being refunded, or just the importers themselves?

Anakin?
