I noticed a wave of that right as trump declared war (declared conflict, whatever), people going "I voted for no new wars," but I noticed on /r/conservative that the takes quickly gave way to sudden concern about Iran's nuclear capability as the propaganda mills got their fodder in order.
r/Conservative is, IMO, almost 100% guaranteed to be majority bots and the most hardcore admin apologists. They're a permanent safe space and often will delete even their own members' posts if they directly criticize the Leader.
Its only value is to see the desired responses from Fox News and the far-right media.
r/flairedusersonly needs mod permission to even post threads and they revoke that permission happily too. They are the party of free speech remember. Everything is "outside users" to them, everybody is a liberal in disguise.
Who moderates /r/conservative? Whenever I drop into old subreddits these days the whole place feels very astro-turfed. High chance that it's modded by zionists, they have a lot of money and a lot of different organisations that hire full time people to "fight disinformation".
There is only one reason for us to give a damn about Israel other than religious fervor, and it's their technology and intelligence apparatus. They only care about us because we give them a lot of money and weapons, and apparently will follow them into their Leeroy Jenkins war and do the heavy lifting.
They're committing a genocide and now are ethnically cleansing Lebanon of Muslims under the cover of the Iran War. Their government is not worthy of support.
That subreddit literally requires asking mods for permission to post threads and the flair that permits posting can and does often get revoked too. Its a "whitelist" subreddit so its astroturfed or filtered by definition.
Pakistan has nukes already. They hate Israel. They harbored bin laden. Somehow we don't care about any of that. They just got a slap on the wrist I guess. Iran gets the beating stick though.
Yes, puzzling. What might the difference be? Oh, Pakistan isn't devoted to "Death to America" and they're not actually firing rockets at Israel and killing Israelis.
If they were serious they could have you know actually done something to the US all this time. Like closing this straight. Or at the very least extorting it.
Article 51 recognizes states' rights to individual or collective self-defense. Israel has a plausible self-defense claim based on the Iranian regime's proxy attacks against it, and its explicit mission of destroying it. If we accept that premise, then by extension Israel's allies also have a right to act in its defense.
There could also be separate arguments that the Iranian plot to assassinate Trump gives the US casus belli.
The way everything is so overleveraged on the success of these companies being packed into ETFs, it would probably take down the whole economy. You'd be able to shut down even more manufacturing without even destroying it just from economic forces. That is unless the US responds by nationalizing everything, which they won't. They'd rather it go to smithereens so someone has a chance to be made wildly rich rebuilding.
I'm not sure how sustainable it is at scale but I know someone who winters off a woodburning stove. They basically get their wood for free from trees that come down in their yard or people's yards that they know. They use a hydraulic woodsplitter to manage splitting all the wood.
If you are aware of this not hard to manage. Grep. rm -rf. Done. Usually its pretty tiny folders at least. Heavier stuff usually software makes a directory under Documents. Kinda nice in a few cases having it set up like this. For example I can delete the app but preserve my config. Drop the app right back again and no setup its turnkey and works.
Sorry for being nitpicky about the exact tool, my broader point is that "Foo" or "corporation" isn't always obvious and is sometimes someone/thing you've never heard of before and would never think to search off the top of your head.
