came here to say this one, especially when Thaddeus Stevens' "heroic moment" in that movie is him NOT saying black people are equal with white people to roaring applause and triumphant music. Like what the fuck were they thinking? It's literally celebrating compromising scientific fact and your personal beliefs in the name of civility.

I like Matt Christman's theory: Forrest was lying folks, he was literally just making shit up on that dumb bench to fuck with people. (this theory will also get people very angry for some reason)

If Israel's plan is to expel them into the Sinai then it is my opinion that Egypt will be forced to act. Not out of some sense of solidarity with the Palestinians- America already bribes the Egyptian government every year with military aid to dispense with that- but out of simple self-preservation. First of all, they don't want to deal with massive amounts of refugees since they'd now be responsible for housing and feeding millions more completely destitute people and greatly straining the Egyptian budget. Furthermore, the Egyptian establishment views Palestinians as mostly a bunch of radical trouble makers, which is not entirely inaccurate considering they are trying to wage a war of liberation. If Palestinians are forced into massive refugee camps in Egypt, those camps would undoubtedly become hotbeds for activism and recruitment of righteous freedom fighters (also known as "terrorist activity" if you live in a white country). Significant numbers of Egyptian citizens would surely become involved in the Palestine struggle. Such a crisis would be an massive headache for the Egyptian political class, and it would potentially last for decades since there's no way Israel will be letting anyone back in. It would likely permanently destabilize the government. Finally Egypt likes to use Palestinians in Gaza as a buffer against Israeli aggression, so if Gaza is destroyed now Egypt is next in the Zionist crosshairs. After a few years Israel could just say they have to "intervene" in Sinai to "crush the terror camps." The revisionist Zionists aren't shy about their plans to conquer even more land. Some dusty cold war era deal with Sadat won't hold them back from that.

Short of a massive American bribe (hundreds of billions, good luck getting that through Congress right now) I can't see Sisi accepting this, and even then the Egyptian military might veto any such deal as an existential threat to national security. And it's the military that ultimately runs politics in Egypt.

creating capeshit will be declared a counter revolutionary crime punishable by unlimited restorative labor. Such wreckers will be forced to watch 4 hour long B&W foreign films and socialist-realist art of sweaty men working in a foundry until their aesthetic sensibilities have been fully reeducated to adhere to the ideological mass line agreed to by the United Anti-Capeshit People's Liberation Front (Marxist-Leninist-Scorseseist)

god literally 30 minutes of a "journalist" just trying to bait an election campaign headline like "ASSAD WOULD WELCOME TRUMP" while assad just has to keep saying he and the Syrian people don't care about the American elections because every US president follows the same snake-like imperialist policy in the middle east anyway. Simply shameful.

"yeah but those commies are a band of murderous thugs who tried to overthrow the government! Hitler and his national socialists would never... what's that? oh. Okay apparently the Nazis did that too and even more recently but at least they RESPECT GERMANY (and flatter my fragile megaloser ego by saying I'm a supermensch and literally the main character for the entirety of human history)." - average NSDAP voter

so to set the record straight — Taylor Swift is not part of a DOD psychological operation. Period.

limited hangout confirmed: T-Swift is a deep cover agent for the Department of Agriculture.

if only there was some powerful hegemon willing to stand up for the rules based international order...

I have wanted this for years but no developer has the balls/ovaries to do it except from the occupier side. I think the best I've found (besides some board games) is actually a text based game by Tarn Adams, one of the devs who made dwarf fortress: Liberal Crime Squad - "To some a dream come true, to others an offensive piece of crap." you essentially play urban terrorists loosely based on the Symbionese Liberation Army complete with police shootouts and kidnapping and psychic torture with LSD. It's pretty funny with surprisingly satisfying gameplay.

well there's also the whole thing where it's an antediluvian Walmart that warps the minds of those within it into hollowing out their societies and leaving them defenseless to the encroachment of soulless technology that's literally made of condensed and corrupted life.

damn I wish they would have leaned more into the cosmic horror side of things with that series
