Boss, thats the same thing as saying "what you say in the public square is entirely up to you, getting mad about the government restricting that is just retarted"

Free speech is only free if people you DISAGREE WITH have the same freedoms and protections you have, if they do it to THEM they can AND WILL do it to you eventually.

It really isn’t.

It’s more like the government denying you a passport based on something you said in a public square.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody the Jewish dc museum shooter Mused about wanting to kill white people. Let me make something clear, most Palestinian activists view Jews as whites, so when they support hamas, they are fantasizing about a future in which they can do the same to you. Now that does not mean America should continue to support Israel, but that also means that we should blindly support the other idiots as well.

It's really not up to a military force to nationbuild or act as local police... There's not one country on earth that has managed to pull off nationbuilding on occupied territory other than perhaps britain with india and that was centuries ago. Maybe the mongols?

This is what Ariel Sharon told Bush when Bush told him that the USA wanted to invade Iraq. Bush ignored Arik's advice.

Palestinians did one better. I can't find the image but one of their fighters put a red dot scope as his rifles front sight and rear sight

They're not our people though, they're some other country's people. If you agree to a certain ruleset to come here, you agree to that ruleset. Should we allow vacationers to own land, or vote, next?

John Quincy Adams, in his speech to the U.S. House of Representatives on Foreign Policy, 1821, in regards to the United States and our exercise of Freedom, "She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."

If I had shinigami eyes that could see illegal immigrants and a Death Note that would magically deport them to where they came from, I would recreate the scene from the anime where Light is FRANTICALLY writing down names of criminals while laughing like a maniac.

Just watch me. I’ll shitpost on the internet with my right hand, and deport Pedro with my left. I’ll grab a potato chip… AND EAT IT!

Thermite is aluminum and iron oxide, its residue is aluminum oxide and iron. You would expect to find such residue where a plane (aluminum) crashes into a skyscraper (steel) even if there weren't thermite charges planted in advance.

The bigger “what the fuck” thing from 9/11 is who gave the all clear call when both buildings started to evacuate after the first plane hit. That is the sketchy thing, someone told everyone to go back to work and they never found out who.

Lot of people who would be alive if not for that.

His point remains: The constant parroting that soft farm raised white boys can't win a war against those tough brownoids raised in the unforgiving environments

You have struck me as a really good poster in the short time ive seen you so far so im going to break it down barney style for you because I like you and you seem like you got a good head on your shoulders but dont have much real world experience.

Its so far removed from a "skill issue" its not even funny, brother when the bullet comes at you or the 0.7 inch sized shrapnel piece at mach Jesus you wont care what color that hands that loosed it were. Ask ANYONE who was in county in Afghanistan and they will tell ya NONE of the people they fought at aimed, they just put the gun over the hill crest or around the corner and fired blind, but guess what, that 7.62 round is big and mean and when you have LOTS of them doing it then its not a matter of accuracy its just a matter of time. Thats what the fuckers would say to "you Americans have the watches but we have the time".

Kill 2 of your so called "brownoids" congrats boss, you just made every single one of their family and friends people who are going to contribute to resisting and fighting you until THEY die. Thats the fucking lesson we havent learned since Korea and why we NEVER get a deceleration of war from congress FOR ANY OF THESE FUCKING SHITSHOWS THERE IS NEVER AN OBJECTIVE OTHER THAN KILL THE ENEMY UNTIL THEY LOVE US.

Im sorry, im not mad at you or even the internet this time, im mad at the brasshats and above that made war the order of the day without giving a shit about the "broken eggs" on the way to their ommlete, patriotic duty, noble sacrifice, the end of there watch, so many nice and poetic words to mean young men that never came home beacuse they died uncomftorbale deaths in muddy trenches ALONE so that we could prove communism dosent work or somthing.

You go into someone elses land, their fucking home the place where their children go to school and their wives maintain humble but worthwile homes, where their dead are buried and their very essence resides what the hell do you think they are going to do especially when you start shooting their countrymen?

Really fucking think about it guys, you have no idea how much I need you to. If China had regular army divisons in our country trying to kill liberals or some other easy to root against group under the guise of "saving the rest of us" you couldent fathom how quickly id be gunning to show them that only we get to bully little brother. Does that track for you? this isent an idle or obtuse metaphor its what we imposed and do impose on countless countrys under the thin thin veil of altruism.

we went into these countrys like the wernt full of living breathing humans that would fight for their right to live they way the want or die trying, just like all of us would, or atleast I would hope so.

That's actually the standard emergency protocol for high rise fires. Basically, people on levels not directly effected by the fire, are told to shelter in place shut the doors to prevent the smoke from spreading to their level/room. By sheltering in place, they give firefighters/first responders time to reach the flames and get the situation under control.

Only problem with 9/11 was - the fire wasn't a normal high rise fire. 747 planes loaded with enough jet fuel for an international flight crashed into the buildings, damaging the tower's structural integrity before the fire even had a change to rage out of control. The fire department should have realized it's a lost cause/the buildings are doomed and blared from loudspeakers telling folks to flee.

...but if you're deep in 9/11 lore, you'd know a surprisingly chunk of the fire department was too busy looting the Gap and other stores in the mall below the towers, to actually get their sh!t together & save office workers. Atlantic journalist William Langewiesche got raked over the coals/blacklisted after he wrote about said unfortunate fact in a book.

Edit: here's an excerpt from his article:

1748407792240.webp

In his book & articles, he discussed how cops & construction workers at ground zero looked down on the land pirates firefighters for brazenly looting from the rubble (which evidence suggests, likely took place before either tower even fell).

You guys are about to active apart of my reptile brain that even I fear at times

HORIZONTAL STRIKE

VERTICAL DROP

wanna start losing your mind? go down the rabbit hole or whatever is left of it these days, of all the times planes, LARGE BIG FUCKOFF PLANES have crashed into tall buildings and its GENUINELY like a trival level of force and stress compared to high speed, consistent winds. A Cat 5 Hurricane puts off the energy equivalent of a 10 megaton nuke EVERY 20 MINUTES. Obviously thats the extreme end but thats what engineers build such giant buildings to be able to stand against, no plane crash could come CLOSE to replicating such level of energy dispersal and we know that cause a twin engine plane crashed into the empire state building in the 20th century and it was like second page news cause it cause a small fire and killed a few dozen people, no biggie.

You could crash 20 747s into a building its not going to fall down vertically

vertical drop, dont let it out of your head
