His first real political success was hammering Bush and the neocons over the Iraq war, and despite reality that’s remained a big pillar of his remaining support. And now he’s about to do a bigger, riskier, more expensive, less popular version of the same thing? This will be a disaster politically, and he knows it.

Wait, India?

Just growing pineapples at my second home like my ancestors

You’re probably aware, but just in case, these guys seem solid: www.fightingnalc.com

Other advice, from a similar-ish union job: calibrate your militancy based on your circumstances. Find the other militants and see what they’re doing. Be aware that even in a union job, mgmt can still force you out if they really decide to, especially if your local also decides you’re a hassle or a threat. Shop-floor power is your most reliable defense, and that takes a long time to build.

It sucks, but studying the contract is really worth it. If you know your shit, your coworkers will notice, helping to build leadership.

Seniority has a bad reputation, and it’s annoying to have none, but it’s an important way to prevent mgmt from choosing favorites for everything. It’s also nice to give the arthritis demographic easier jobs instead of just disposing of them like Amazon. Related to that: jobs like this keep you fit but also permanently wear you out, find the right balance, don’t work harder than you need to, but also don’t give mgmt easy ways to get rid of you.

May I see it?

No, looks weak, hit channel 15

Not an expert, but after briefly checking, it looks like most ballistic missiles are faster than the muzzle velocity of most tank shells (and most rifles). Interesting comparison

Releasing a trailer for your war’s next expansion pack

They were specifically told to shoot em in the leg smdh

Wait, why? So the guy they just arrested can’t shoot more people there? Am I missing something?

Edit: wait, they IDed the guy but I’m not sure if they actually arrested him yet?

Ya know what, fuck it, no one gets to own land, that will show those commies!!

Just dog-whistling past the graveyard of empires

I heard it was organized with 10s of thousands of dedicated comrades. Excited to see what they do next.

Very interesting, but seems mostly speculative. Not familiar with the author so not sure how to weigh it.

Yeah, generally best to just quietly take the W and move on. But every once in a while there’s a person or a circumstance where you need to call them out on it.

This is the beginning of everyone deciding that, actually, they were always kinda against it.

How does property insurance work in Israel? I assume it has to be state subsidized?

With our luck they’d take a decade to decide anything, a century for their fleet to arrive, when they got here nothing would happen, and then we’d find out they’re actually liberals.

Honestly baffling. Too low-effort and incompetent to be a psyop, but that timing can’t just be a coincidence. Very odd.
