A classified Pentagon review later concluded the killings were justified under the rules of engagement, the report said.
This is just adding insult to injury “yeah we invaded a foreign country who has never done any harm to us and gunned down a group of random bystanders but you can’t get mad at us because we wrote a piece of paper saying that we’re allowed to do it”

Which one of them?
Please provide a real-world example of polite peaceful protest convincing the ruling class to do something it didn’t want to do.
You don’t change their minds by appealing to their conscience or humanity, you do it by making it less attractive for them to give you what you want than for them not to give it to you. Every single scrap of progress has been won by threatening disruption, economic damage or physical violence.
We didn’t get weekends and eight hour workdays because capitalists thought it was the morally right thing to do, we did it because denying these demands came with a realistic risk of angry workers going to their mansions and beating them to death.
Bonus question: Can you define authoritarianism?
I reckon it might work with more people than you’d like to think. Generations of predatory for-profit health insurance is going to leave its mark and I fully expect the morals of many Americans to be so degraded that it is seen, maybe not as good, but as an inevitable fact of life that sick people has to get murdered.
I’m diagnosed ADHD and avoidant personality disorder. It’s a really fun combo where you want to form meaningful relations to people but you are too terrified of being rejected to do anything about it and also you have this constant lingering sense of inferiority that is being fed by all daily stream of executive dysfunction-related fuckups.
They determine a lot through pricing and decision on availability.
People don’t like getting ripped off or paying more than they have to so people, myself included, buy more of whatever they happen to have on sale this week. At our house a lot of decisions on what to have for dinner start by looking through the weekly offers page on the supermarket’s app which influences our diet. For instance we eat a lot more chicken than we would do if it wasn’t constantly on sale.
Decisions to jack up prices also affect diet. For instance we used to eat a lot of ground beef and sour cream but now it has become so expensive that it is no longer worth what they’re charging so we almost never have it anymore.
Availability is also a huge part of the way they determine what we eat. It don’t even have to be a food desert to have a huge influence, the convenience of not having to go to more than one shop alone has a huge influence. For instance I like beefsteak tomatoes a lot more for everything where you cut up the tomatoes and don’t want the watery seeds. But I eat a lot more plum tomatoes because that’s what they have at ordinary supermarkets and I would have to go to the Arab store to get the other ones which would mean I would have to spend 20 minutes more shopping.
Some of these have non-female partners but I don’t think it is unreasonable to think that loneliness is on the rise. It is one of the ways capitalism is degrading society.
How do you say twink in ancient Greek and Latin?
I was in my late thirties when I finally had my diagnosis. It gave me a surprising amount of peace knowing that all of those things I’ve struggled with all my life was in fact a condition/a disability and not just me not trying hard enough. Having a professional say it was not all my own fault did mean a lot.
Getting diagnosed also meant I could get drugs. Those helped a lot too. They’re not miracle cures that makes it all go away but they have really made a difference.

Back in my day we had multiple continents but now the tectonic plates have gone woke and wants us all to be one continent!
They hated her because she was telling the truth
He died with the plague. It could have been anything that killed him, like a vaccine. The plague is no worse than a flu.
They did not lift that burden
In not American but still very much from the imperial cow so I’ll answer anyway. To be honest I think my mom has a great part of the honour. I was always a bookish kid and (among many other things) she pointed me in the direction of communist authors who were, among other things, writing about bourgeois hypocrisy and deconstructing anti-communist propaganda. So from my early teens I was familiar with the idea that bourgeois media is full of bullshit.
It didn’t make me a convinced communist for life (like so many others, I’ve had my lib cringe phase where I believed the worst anti-communist nonsense) but I always had an open mind to listening to the other side.
Later on, around the 2008 financial crash, I was listening to a lot of leftist lectures on YouTube, trying to make sense of it all. Parenti was one of them and that man simply made sense.
It is those who make a claim who has the burden to prove it. It is not everybody else’s job to disprove them. The Zionists’ have failed to present any proof for these racist claims that convinces independent observers
Zionist terrorist organisations are notoriously untrustworthy sources (Beheaded babies, kHamas command centres under hospitals, Iran being just about to have nukes).
