So if the US invades Mexico to stop the cartels and you start making ads about captured gas station guys selling tacos I have the right to call up the local construction rental company and beeline to your house, keepin that plan on the backlog then

I wouldn't advise it unless you want a bunch of dead construction rental company guys

But if you have a bunch of F-35s and JDAMs straight from Murica then I guess I'd be fucked

I need confirmation. Was the US really stupid enough to just deploy 4 carriers outside Israel without escort?

The picture looked like they had an escort of cruisers and frigates, but that's probably not like, up to date. Modern Carriers also have plenty of defenses on their own, it's not ww2 anymore, aircraft carriers have weapons now

lol having trouble keeping your story straight? :story:

In one sentence you admit that Jihadists are responsible for suicide bombings and beheading videos, in the next you claim that Jews flew the planes into the Twin Towers. So which is it?

I would say he's practicing double think but that would require there to be single think first.

Shut the fuck up. The pizzeria did nothing wrong. I hate Muslims, but this was petty and uncalled as hell, on top of being a complete waste of resources. This army does not have anything else to do in this terrorist filled land other than destroy someone's business over a edge Facebook post? This is pure pettiness.

What resources, some fuel and some bullets?

It was dumb as shit of that Pizzeria to mock some dead old lady when your occupiers have JDAMs and bulldozers when all you're armed with is photoshop and a pizza peel.

The reaction to the Pizzeria was uncalled for. But I would not treat any side in this as a "rational actor" for the time being.

You can go and say. It's just a Pizzeria, and you are correct. But where is the connection in making Pizza with the kidnapping of an Israeli? It's provoking and in the current climate you have a higher chance to find out, especially if you are in the realm of influence of the side you are provoking.
It's wrong, but nothing that is surprising me.

The world is not as cozy as America, sadly. That's why a lolcow like Ethan Ralph can have months and years of being a retard without phsyical consequences to just get fucked up as soon as he leaves the US within days.

I was under the impression that carriers moved as part of a carrier strike group. They’re big targets and the navy can’t be that stupid

Unless it's a cruise from Seattle to San Diego or something, aircraft carriers don't go sailing without escorts

Back in the 90s, when things were going well, the USSR had fallen, and the world was truly at peace like it hadn't been for a very long time, this went to the head of some thinkers and economists. Francis Fukuyama famously wrote his book The End of History and The Last Man, in which he supposes that everyone will be capitalist from now on, and perhaps nothing overly bad or even interesting would ever happen again.

Similarly, Thomas L Friedman wrote a book The Lexus and the Olive Tree, in which he puts forth the Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention. The idea was that capitalism, with its mutually beneficial relationships of trade, would mean that globalist capitalist countries would no longer find it advantageous to go to war with each other. In other words, "No two countries that both have a McDonald's have ever fought a war against each other."
It is extremely funny to me that not only had this been proven definitively wrong. But it's so wrong that even the McDonalds of different countries are going to war with each other, lmao.

This "free trade and free markets will spread everywhere and then there will be global peas" is not a new idea, it was in vogue in the late 19th century too. Up until WW1 put a bullet in its head but then it rose again as a zombie after the Soviets crumbled

I'm confuzzled

You tried to be clever talking about sending a bulldozer to destroy my house if I made some lame not-spicy meme about dead Mexicans if the US went to war against the cartels

I would defend my home with my guns if someone tried that. I'd do my very best to kill them

What is so tough about that?

Watching people cheer shit like this on, on a website that's banned in Russia by Roskomnadzor for the 'Ho-Ho-Holocaust' meme, is really wild. They literally bulldozed a pizza shop over an edgy shitpost - just absolutely insane, petty shit from a country that has the overwhelming firepower advantage. Same thing with the retarded Laura Loomer posts where she's trying to get people fired or harassed for protesting in favor of Hamas - after hearing the same exact people for 6 years (accurately) talk about how cancel culture is incompatible with free speech and democratic self rule. She once came pretty damn close to typing out 'hate speech isn't free speech'. It's like watching the Iraq War or the Covid mentality coalesce again in real time - where if you pointed out that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with Al Qaeda, or talked at all about a lab leak, people just freaked out on you for cheering for the 'bad side' of the conflict. Can't ever add nuance or any bit of depth to the conversation, just 'ra ra ra America/Israel'. Then, months/years later, when it's crystal clear that they were wrong about everything, they wonder how everyone could have agreed on something so dumb before moving on to the next public crisis and doing the exact same shit. I think George Kennan once described the modern American body politic as 'Americanosaurus Rex' - a big angry dinosaur with a tiny brain, that reflexively smashes whatever crisis is in front of it without ever thinking very much about the root causes or the ramifications of their proposed interventions. Glad to see the old dinosaur is still thrashing mindlessly around, goaded on its mass/social media brainworms.

You're acting like anyone here were the ones to bulldoze the place.

But otherwise you are correct in saying it's fucked up for the government to punish an ad with destructive force, but you're not the first person here to say that either, and KF didn't unanimously celebrate that restaurant getting bulldozed.
