ISIS was created by the CIA in Iraq.

Do you happen to have any good sources that describe how that came about?

This sounds very plausible to me, but I'm curious about who the differing bourgeois factions are and where the line is between their opposing desires. Is this a finance capital vs industrial capital thing, where finance doesn't want to risk escalation and possible nuclear war but the evangelicals in industrial capital do? Or is that way off?

Without a doubt, that's the healthier, better option.

Still kitty-birthday-sad tho

They were just doing a drive to try to get people to mod for that comm. As we know they settled for a fascist, which makes them no better. I'm sure they wouldn't have allowed any communist (read: "aUtHoRiTaRiAn") Pole into the position. But if you made an .ml account and most importantly, hid your power levels, they might let you onto the small mod team, especially if they were having as hard a time as they claimed finding any takers. Your fluency would probably go a long ways with winning them over. Obviously you'd have to actually want to take on the hassle of doing it, and playing a part for a while, but I don't know, some people would find that fun and amusing. If you made it on, just playing the "fair and balanced" card, I'd bet you could help ensure some actual reality makes it through rather than every single good comment getting removed. Just a thought.

If anyone is curious, the (cw) misogynistic c-word slur is the one this intellectual child is throwing about and saying isn't a slur. They're also too much of an idiot to realize that on most instances slurs are automatically removed so they don't understand what's happening here or how they're even being made fun of.

So on top of being a coward and genocide denier, they are a deeply sexist misogynist too.

Well then you should educate yourself as to what is factually true because everything I said was just that. You seem aware enough that you should know that one can not trust western sources if they want to have any idea what is really going on. Yet your responses here seem to indicate that that's exactly what you've done: trusted the propaganda put out by the imperialist world hegemon.

Exactly! A country should belong to the people who live in in and not to neighboring empires who call dibs on someone else’s home.

Then you should be supporting the people of Donbas in their anti-imperialist struggle against the neo-nazi Ukrainian regime that had been trying to ethnically cleanse them and seize control of all their resources to sell off to western private interests. Just as you should be cheering on the Russians who came to their aid and prevented them from being wiped out by said nazis. But instead you've confused anti-imperialists for imperialists and mixed up the nazis with the victims because you have swallowed the western narrative.

Seriously, I had been saving up to get a good monitor, now I wonder if I would be falling for a "go out and buy treats fast while you still can!" scheme if I bought one now when I can't quite afford it, or if waiting until I've saved up enough will mean it's too late and I won't be able to afford one at all because they've quadrupled in price in 2 months.

For her alone in this situation? Yes, it would very likely be even worse for her (but still a silver lining if she were to take out an ICE agent or a few too). But if a community is armed and prepared to defend their members it makes it vastly harder for these fascists to just come and abduct people like this.

Guns alone are not the answer here. But guns paired with community is at least a .Major part of the answer.

That was a piece of the whole pegging the entire planet to the dollar and ensuring global dollar hegemony, but it was just another effect of that and not the cause of what's seen in the graph, right? Either way the ditching the gold standard is not what conspiracy-chuds and many libertarians think it is.

Am I losing it? Is this really just a bunch of racist propaganda spliced in to bookend an official movie trailer?

CW: Extreme racism, murder victims presumably irl, tv series trailer with quick but extreme depictions of SV and SA.

spoiler

I was just looking for new shows that might be interesting to watch and came across one called Lady Love aka X-Rated Queen. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/x_rated_queen says

A young woman from a small Polish town escapes to West Germany and finds herself drawn into the world of adult entertainment.

But it didn't provide a trailer. So I searched around and every instance I turned up links to this trailer on the youtube channel "Trailer Hub" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWJKVn5df_k

The beginning of the video is images of black men presumably accused of mass murder with pictures of their white victims. After 11 seconds of this, some of the actual trailer plays, but is then cut off at 1:13 with the rest of the video being more images of black men and cuts of tv news talking about horrible crimes against white people, usually mass murder. This has NOTHING to do with the trailer or the show so far as I can tell.


I don't know what to make of this. Is the owner of the Trailer Hub youtube channel a white supremacist splicing in this shit to propagandize people trying to see a trailer? Am I stupid and completely missing something here? I'm too high to make sense of this. I did try to report the video, but I don't have a youtube account so of course it won't let me. I wanted to tell someone about this but I don't know anyone who would care or believe me except for here.

 

The place I go to for medical care is part of a chain of low income clinics and it's actually good considering the abysmal state of healthcare in the US. Mine keeps sending me texts every few days and has fliers up around town about select days this month where they're giving free flu shots.

This is fine and I appreciate that they do it but nowhere is any mention of Covid! It's like it doesn't exist. But a Covid vaccine is what I really want. I want a flu shot too, but I'm much more worried about spreading Covid or getting long Covid, which terrifies me since I already deal with health issues like what long Covid causes. So I guess I'll have to call and see if they even are giving Covid vaccines at all and if they are also free like the flu shots they're advertising or if I'll have to pay for the vaccine for the virus that's still causing a pandemic no one talks about.

I'm posting this here because I'm not sure which Covid vaccine I should be asking for, and hexbear seems like the only place left that still takes this seriously. I saw in a comment here a little while back about how we should be asking for one vaccine in particular that works better for the more recent variants and making sure we aren't getting an obsolete vaccine. So what should I be asking for when I call to find out if they even offer it during their flu clinic days?

Edit: I just called them and they said no they don't even have any of the Covid vaccine and I'd have to ask my doctor at my next appointment about getting one in the future if I want to get it through the clinic. Fucking useless. Why do a vaccine drive at all if you're not going to include the one that is causing magnitudes more harm than the flu?
