Every day I feel getting closer and closer to adventure-time Liberals don't want real liberation for palestine. They have a fetish for defeat. I literally cannot have half a conversation with anyone above the age of 30 without racist chauvinism or hearing them justify imperialism.

"With violence." Sorry but is your dad like dumb? They hurt a boat? Okay?

Actually tbqh the best way to go with these people is just full on Mao glowing eyes WE ARE A PAPER TIGER, FATHER posting. Destroy Your Father With Facts And Logic By EXPLAINING Trading Expensive US Missiles For Ansarallah Missiles Accomplishes Nothing

at least not any more than trading air defense for the drones and shit

i went full on mask off with my father-in-law last weekend for the first time, and said that Ukraine must surrender to Russia immediately and that ISIS and Al Qaeda are US/Israeli/Turkish/Saudi/UAE puppets. There was no response, they were just stun locked

“There is a lid on the western mainstream media in a way it has NEVER been before… 'Today there is no "crack in the wall"…' 10% is empirically true, 20% is fake - narratives, 70%, and it is the most important part, is omitted news.” Jan Oberg (17 August 2021)

That 70% includes the difference between indiscriminate attacks on shipping and the targeted blockade of Israel. He probably doesn't even know Ansar Allah is in de facto control of Yemen. He probably won't give a shit anyways.

I love that quote, never seen it before.

My father and I were actually arguing for over two and a half hours straight. As you can expect, with him lazily going through narratives from the NED, Amnesty International, "human nature," and "authoritarianism." All the while blaming Russians for Amerika's racism, praising the democratic establishment, and defending the first gulf war. We hung up after he conceded on the gulf war.

I don't think their is a single family member of mine (other than like, my cousin) that doesn't deserve the wall.

Liberal justice for Palestine is kneeling in kuffiyeh while they all get slaughtered, and apologizing for being complicit in the genocide 50 years from now in a letter released Super Bowl Sunday

Love too use a year's worth of tomahawks to kill 4 or 5 people to try and "de-escalate" a crisis in the only way a lead-brained boomer knows how biden-troll

Ask if he knows about the Saudi attempt at exterminating Yemen and the US support for that

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 35 points 10 months ago

I mean, to be fair, this may be different in context and you know your father much better than me, but this just seems like a statement of fact. "Look, I support Palestine, but it is totally expected that the Amerikkkan Empire would respond with violence if someone messes with their trade. The U.S. has no moral qualms and resorts to violence easily."
