Brother, I have seen the images from Gaza of the zionist attacks on refugees and civilians since they started this war with Iran and it is so awful. My only hope is that these blows to the zionist war machine cripple their ability to continue their brutality against the noble people of Palestine. Be safe and be well, whatever that means in these coming days. I am hopeful change is coming for you and your people.

I would just like to point out that every time the west fucks with Iran they spend years doing all kinds of clandestine economic sabotage to global trade, especially with shipping headed to Europe. Their methods are sophisticated and effective and some of their acts are things we don't even know how they pulled it off and can only suspect them of being behind it.

I chat regularly with a few Chinese netizens on XHS. A couple of things you should know:

• The US government actually monitors what is said on there and if you say something expressing violent intent towards the USA or it's allies the FBI will visit you and this has been documented happening to a user.
• The built in translation works pretty good but some notes: misgendering happens a lot and its not intentional (spoken Mandarin is genderless and netizens don't care to correct pronouns in written Mandarin) and Mandarin is very direct and that can sometimes come off as rude in translation.
• The app itself is pretty unsecure so just assume all communication you do on there is open to everyone and their mother to see.
• You will learn some Mandarin if you spend enough time on there between just comprehensible input and the occasional video that pops up of someone teaching short, basic Mandarin words and phrases.
• There are also a few accounts of North Koreans and a few of Chinese students studying in North Korea and it's kind of cool to see beyond the veil into snippets of North Korean life here and there.
• There is a punk/hardcore scene in Beijing and it's dope af.

So anyways I encourage everyone to do it and see what China is really like. Even though there are many things to criticize about China (they have a long way to go for LGBTQ rights, for instance) there is more to praise and most people walk away with a better view of China than before going in.

Regardless of all that this polemic of his is actually cool and good. I am not familiar with his views on zoophilia or whatever and that kind of shit grosses me out. If posting him causes zoophiles to come out of the woodwork then I'm glad to do my part to weed out weirdos.

It's not socialist but it basically portrays the rich of the capitalist system as outright actively evil by simply existing as they do.

Famine, Affluence, and Morality by Peter Singer

https://rintintin.colorado.edu/~vancecd/phil308/Singer2.pdf

Should be required reading but it will never be under capitalism. Basic rundown:

Most of us view an act as immoral if you can only be trivially inconvenienced to literally save a life. Like, If you saw a toddler drowning in a shallow pond that you could reach out and grab the poor child but chose to ignore it obviously and walked on letting the kid die then we'd almost all universally declare that an evil act. What if you had to get your shoes wet? What if you didn't even need to do that, you were across the street in a second story apartment but you saw the child and another person was walking by? Would it be immoral not to alert that other person with a yell to let them know they could save the child? We would all agree, you still have the responsibility morally. To not do so is immoral. Well, what if the dying child were across the world and there were already people there wanting to help. All they needed was a few dollars. And what if giving that few dollars was easy. Digital payment. Scan a code. Isn't it just as immoral as not reaching down to lift up the toddler? Just as immoral as not yelling to the person to alert them? Even more so because you know for a fact that the person will help. This is what Singer argues. And he argues that the more able you are financially to help the more immoral your inaction is by not doing so.

Anyways, if you try and debate my clumsy summary you are a lib and will be ignored when the actual paper is linked and pretty short and extremely easy to read. This paper is controversial only because it paints most of the successful people in the global north as properly evil by there mere inaction.

lol why are you saying you want to eat a chinese person? any particular province? people from fujian are popular

feng le ma????

The strikes in Iran currently appear to be surface fired ATGMs and drones from with Iran itself. There is a video of a Iranian motorcycle cop in a high speed chase with a van. Presumably it is driven by Israeli operatives. The cop is shooting at the van like a scene out of GTA. Another of Iranian cops shooting down a Israeli drone with small arms fire.

There are also videos of trucks being used to smuggle in explosive devices and drone parts and another where Iranian intelligence is documenting a drone manufacturing warehouse they discovered within Iran.

Also at least two videos circulating where you can clearly see a missile launched from the ground at a nearby target. The Israelis have got some serious ground operations happening there and the Iranians are running around trying to catch them. Official statement from an Iranian government source as well warning all Iranian citizens to report any home rentals to foreign nationals in the last few months.

I can't find it anymore but there is one from a while back where they are doing more or less the same while Beirut itself is being bombed. Like a bomb falls two blocks away and they just keep on partying. The Lebanese are built different.

Most likely it is. The anti-missile munitions are more complicated and more expensive than the actual missiles. They have to be fairly sophisticated to essentially intercept a speeding bullet mid-air. They cost more and are slower to produce. It is easier to engineer and produce at scale missiles that hit a stationary target.

I think this was a one-off malfunction. I've only seen the one video you've mentioned but no other examples.

We've all had to learn some hard lessons in our lives. This is the nature of existence. So I can empathize in that way with Israel. They are not accustomed to consequences.
