President Donald Trump's United States of America

[81-717]

I will always maintain that these people hate Israel so much that dead Iranians, Syrians, Lebanese, Yemenites and Palestinians (via Triple H proxies) are all acceptable losses, even for a small amount of Israelis killed in return.

...says someone who would like to see Ayatollah Khamenei alive and well and in charge of Iran today...
Does your definition of "just society" involve justice for people who committed a massacre of 30K+ civilians 2 months ago?
I mean, two people are murdered by ICE in Minnesota and you lose your mind with outrage, demanding justice.
30K protesters are gunned down in Iran - silence. Wounded survivors are hunted down and executed by a bullet to the brain while receiving treatment in the Iranian hospitals? - silence.
And when people who committed all those atrocities are finally paying for what they've done - now that's when the outrage starts.
The hypocrisy is unreal.

Exactly, this is left wing mentality at its core.

How many deaths did Hezbollah bring to Lebanon and Syria?

To be fair, isn't it against their own policy to attack civilians? They do condemn most attacks against civilians, including 2001, and also fought against certain groups responsible for said attacks.

Okay, I just have to address this disinformation even though its off-topic for this thread. The social media are full of people rallying around the flag of their choosing and cheering on their respective team, spreading whatever disinformation that suits the narrative that they want to believe in.

but I don't think the pro-Palestine leftist crowd necessarily wishes death to Israel and the Jewish people

Not only do they wish death to Israel, they're literally openly wishing death to Canada & burning our (Canadian) flags, while protesting on the streets of Canada! And what you said about "people rallying around the flag of their choosing and cheering on their respective team, spreading whatever disinformation that suits the narrative that they want to believe in" surely applies to this group too (especially so).

And with the recent shooting targeting an empty Iranian gym in Richmond Hill overnight, it's quite disconcerting that the same shooters could've just as easily chosen to shoot up a crowd of people in broad daylight instead. It was a clear-cut case of someone having a gun who definitely shouldn't.

Except that once you trigger something as totalizing as Armageddon, there'll be nobody left to try you for said war crimes. And you may think that, as the Faithful, you'll achieve Transcendence; but that's like saying that nobody knew or cared who Elliott Rodger was before Isla Vista, and *everybody* knew after. So iconically speaking, he sort of "transcended". But he was still dead, as were his victims...

And if you think any of that is scary...

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus

Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

Ya, embarking on the 10th crusade doesn't have that Constitutional ring to it but it may certainly explain the Israeli tie to many. The front line must have a warm fuzzy feeling when leaders start acknowledging the concept of martyrdom'.

To be clear, my exercise is not in response the Armageddon revelations here, rather statements in general of saying the quiet parts out loud to whatever ridiculous school grade euphemisms the Trump Administration comes up with.

...I will say though that the Christian death cult creep is certainly seeping into their narrative though. And while that's not so surprising, it is alarming none of the less. /bleah

Is this to distract from the war against Iran going badly?

‘It’s crazy’: Thornhill gym of Iranian-Canadian activist hit by bullets

A Thornhill boxing gym associated with a well-known activist for Iranian freedom was hit several times by bullets early Sunday morning in the wake of a major demonstration in support of the American and Israeli military strikes that killed Iran’s leader.

Tell me you don't know anything about left wing beliefs without telling me you don't know anything about left wing beliefs.

Left wingers are against Israel because they're committing genocide against the Palestinians. If they take that personally, too bad so sad for them. I take the slaughter of innocent civilians personally. Why should Israel be allowed to copy from the Nazi Germany playbook with impunity?

Left wingers are against Israel because they're committing genocide against the Palestinians.

Left wingers also want Ayatollah alive & in charge of Iran, as well as importing the same bad actors to the West in large numbers.

I take the slaughter of innocent civilians personally.

I do too. So why are left wingers continuously allowing it to happen in Western countries under their watch and shrugging it off (look at the dire situation in UK, France & Germany)?

Hmm, painting all of us with the same brush, are we?

I thought I've made my stance on this issue quite clear:

News from the Middle East

Here ya go. Also the photo of the missile doing a u-turn in the air speaks for itself. Failed Iranian air defences. Unfortunately, a failed rocket body can do quite a lot of damage with fuel still onboard. Okay, I just have to address this disinformation even though its off-topic for this...

PM Mark Carney's Canada

Hasn't worked out for them historically, but I'm sure this will be the exception. I mean, he could have... you know... not said anything at all, since his opinion is a pretty trivial one on the international stage? But just like Starmer, he always has to take every opportunity he can to suck...

And how many containers are sitting in Cuba's docks? How many of them originated from China? Any guarantees that none of them have Chinese cruise missiles with ranges up to 1500 km? The ships you can at least attempt to track. How do you track containers in docks of China-friendly states? I...

Indeed. There's not much of a defence for considering some lives more disposable than others based exclusively on ideology. At least the Islamists in Tehran are honest about that..... The Islamists in Tehran don't have a particular monopoly on that sort of honesty. Actions always trump words.

And I would venture, from reading the comments on any left leaning subreddit like r/toronto, that the majority of left wingers feel the same way. As I said before, it's not sportsball, you don't have to sympathize with anyone except for the innocents who will die.

as well as exporting the same bad actors to the West.

Can you show me anyone, anywhere at all, who otherwise identifies as a progressive, that wants to see the west turned into a theocracy?

You won't be able to, because such people don't exist.

So why are left wingers continuously allowing it to happen in Western countries under their watch and shrugging it off (look at the dire situation in UK, France & Germany)?

Can you tell me, in which western countries, is this occurring? You'd think such a noteworthy event would make the news.

N.B. There are very few genuinely progressive politicians. Most of them, including ours, are merely redressed conservatives who trick people into thinking they're progressive because they're not openly racist or homophobic.

Look at how many attacks happened all around Europe since 2015, and how many happened before then. That speaks for itself.
I mean, not even the UAE wants to send its students to the UK anymore out of fear that said students will be radicalized there. Wild. Even if the left doesn't actually want to turn the West into a theocracy, their actions are contributing to it.

because they're not openly racist or homophobic

Another classic left wing tactic: labelling anyone who doesn't want the West turned into a theocracy as racist.
