How is defending Iran's war crimes because the US is pushing their imperialism on them any different from defending the Assadist regime because the US intervened in Syria two things can be bad you can be opposed to the US starting bullshit wars and not defend war criminals

They’re going to accuse anyone who cautions against war of “siding with our enemies” or “supporting terrorists.” This is the exact rhetoric that got us into the War in Iraq. Don’t fall for it.

Soleimani deserved to die the most painful death imaginable for his crimes in Syria, Iraq, & Iran. But fuck anybody stoking the flames of war between US & Iran.

Buckle up, nerds. After discovering the existence of Quasar Sailemun thirty minutes ago, I am now ready to explain how, being three trillion times more significant than Bin Laden, his assassination means we will have to forfeit the Louisiana Purchase. 1/5926

The absolute weirdest shit is when some global militiary violence happens and the LAPD or NYPD tweets out we are monitoring the situation. What the fuck are you going to do?

I wish I had a fraction of the confidence in myself that americans have in their military, which hasn't actually won a war in like 5 fucking decades

The crocodile tears of American/western "anti imperialists" and their "fear" of "escalations" (aka WW3)...where were your tears when Syrians, Iraqis, Kurds and Afghans were killed under Sulemani command? Ah forgot that lives not killed by America don't matter

To the new Qasem Soleimani experts, do you know who celebrated his death? My cousins. They are in Hudaydah - Yemen, living under Houthi occupation and US backed Saudi bombardment. Why? Because fuck Iran & fuck the USA and always fuck Saudi.

Here's a fun thing to do-- copy/paste the following into your twitter search bar Soleimani (from:[username]) until:2020-01-02 since:2006-03-21 This will show how many times someone mentioned Soleilmani, the WORLDS WORST BAD GUY, between the day Twitter started and yesterday.

I mean, I wish Sanders was a socialist.

Too bad most people are too clueless to grasp that the reason politicians are so bad at "leading" is that they are not and never have been "leaders". They are administrators, which is a different thing entirely.

I imagine the last decade of politics must've been really disorienting for those who believe we actually live in a democracy rather than a fascist oligarchic kleptocracy

I truly get the anger and the need for an easy target, but the climate crisis is truly global. It’s akin to the kind of existential threat one sees in sci fi movies with alien invasions, except the alien invader is the state and capitalism.

a question: why is the visible spectrum where it is why did we evolve to detect light from ~380 - 740nm wavelengths and not longer or shorter than that?
