You lean right on economic policy? So what, you think we should tax poor people to fund tax cuts for the rich, and you like to crash the economy?

And your problem with dems is the obsession with racial identity politics? THAT'S the problem?

So you wasted your vote because you couldn't stand a stable status quo at the cost of having a conversation about race.

Well congratulations you stupid fucking faggot, you don't have to be politically correct anymore!

Always vote for the closest thing to an anti-brown party. Its the most proximity we'll ever get to common sense in politics. 'Brown bad but unironically' is the only beneficial thing that any party has done in any Western nation since before any of us were born.

Cry about it. People like you ensure we will always have a two party system since you browbeat anyone who doesn't vote along the two party line. I'm not voting for a candidate that didn't get elected, maybe you just do what the DNC says you should do but I am not as easily manipulated. If Kamala was such a good candidate she would've been elected by the party and not given the nomination. The fact that you're seething so hard that I voted third party means that I should keep doing it. More and more people are independents now because the Repubs and Dems are so fucking pathetic. And that's a good thing.

Japan shut their borders for tourists for years, while having weaker covid restrictions. Their inflation rate was a cumulative 2.25% over 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The United States over that same period was
2020: 1.2%
2021: 4.7%
2022: 8.0%
or a cumulative 13.9%

>I was told to hate Biden and the Build Back Better Act so I will blame it for everything.

The BBB Act was about 2.2 trillion dollars in spending, about half of which was expected to be recouped by taxes also in the bill (mostly cancelled by Trump).

Trump signed the 2.2 trillion dollar Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in March 2020 and the 900 Billion Consolidated Appropriations act in December, and Biden signed the 1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan act in March 2021. Those are the big direct COVID related spending bills, and combined they dwarf the BBB Act, which was mostly about fulfilling Bidens campaign promises such as a shitload of infrastructure spending that had been deferred for decades and literally anyone in infrastructure can tell you was sorely needed.

It's the COVID bills (and the general rise in spending of both the Trump and Biden administrations) that did most of the inflation driving, because most economic impacts take years to occur.

>>1496977
Congratulation, you have identified that Japan is: not the USA!

>>1496818
>If that was true then why did every other country also have inflation?
>>1496821
>What the fuck are you talking about? Japan literally went from near zero inflation to 3% due to COVID. It only went down below 2% last year. The only reason their inflation from COVID was relatively low is because it was already low beforehand.
Are still 100% correct statements.

>>1496979
Every country had inflation
Japan had 2.25% and light lockdowns
The United State had more restrictive lockdowns and 13.9% inflation.
Correlation is not causation, but correlation is correlation.

>>1496980
If you ignore everything else it's dead easy to find a pattern of two things even if it's asinine. Apples and oranges are both fruits and both sweet therefore sweetness causes fruit!

Japan has low inflation because it's had low inflation for 30 fucking years. That 3% is the highest it's been since the EARLY NINETIES. Their central bank was jizzing themselves when they saw that because they've spent trillions of dollars trying and failing to make that happen and get out of their stagnant rut, and now they're frustrated because that inflationary hardon is going limp. Context is key. There's 50 fucking reasons why they WANT inflation that you could learn if you cared about more than winning cherrypicked internet fights.

Abundantly clear the Israeli state isn’t actually Jewish and doesn’t follow any sacred law but I’m not Jewish so idk. The prisoners in question were male and they were sodomized by foreign objects so maybe that isn’t rape according to certain rabbis or whatever.

Heinrich Himmler exonerated guards at Auschwitz for treating prisoners badly

“When you go out to war against your enemies, and theLORDyour God delivers them into your hand, and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and desire her and would take her for your wife, then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and trim her nails. She shall put off the clothes of her captivity, remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother a full month; after that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. And it shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall set her free, but you certainly shall not sell her for money; you shall not treat her brutally, because you have humbled her.

they used to force Jews to resort to moneylending and banking by barring them from other jobs and forcing them to wear hats and badges to identify them as Jewish
the West hasn't changed in that respect since medieval times
the truth is, antisemites want Jews to be a caricature of themselves
AIPAC is part of this
imagine telling Black people to go back to their homeland in Africa
look up the Haavara Agreement
Israel is segregation, apartheid, and the real antisemism
they believe no American Jew is truly American, but instead Israeli by "birthright"
if Zionists hadn't insisted on a "Jewish state", Jews throught the West Asia would be much safer today

My best guess is that they, in their infinite wisdom, have taken to using AI to collate their data and pick targets. Problem is, those clankers will take in ANY data, and if some now-outdated assessment says that building was a barracks, then they'll damn well mark it as still being barracks.

B) use it against the enemy when they attack you
C) bomb yourself with it

>yes please let me be inundated with AI slop and fake news stories, especially if I agree with them
Why are you like this?

The magnum opus of the genre, however, is a 42-second mash-up of high-adrenaline movie, TV and gaming quotes and memes with battlefield pyrotechnics. Scenes from “Braveheart,” “Better Call Saul,” “Deadpool,” “John Wick” and more jostle with missile and torpedo hits to a frenetic soundtrack, climaxing in the “Flawless victory!” declaration from the 1990s arcade franchise Mortal Kombat.

What does it all mean? One could say that, like much of the terminally online posting that the administration has embraced to laud its immigration and other policies, the aim is a kind of brazen, joking-not-joking anti-meaning, a vibe of dominance unbounded by narrative, reason or moral argument.

The videos speak the percussive language of action-movie trailers — all blammo and no plot. (They’ve also been likened to “hype videos,” the high-octane reels designed to pump up sports fans.) They suggest that the rhetoric of entertainment and government and edgelord posting are now identical. They bypass the rational consciousness to yank at the viewer’s brainstem.

Yet there’s plenty in these brief clips to unpack. At times, they’re like a tour of the president’s subconscious. Mr. Trump has long favored violent imagery in his speeches and violent entertainment on his screens. He has criticized N.F.L. penalties for head-on-head collisions as having made the game “soft.” Now his administration is touting the virility of his military offensive with tackle after bone-crunching tackle

There is also a none-too-subtle signal in the characters the White House has chosen for the videos. For one thing, they are almost all male, in keeping with the administration’s use of social-media memes to reach out to young men and its rhetoric of restoring masculinity, especially to the military. In the words of Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark/Iron Man, who opens one video, the subtext is “Daddy’s home.”

But also, look at the kind of men the videos enlist. Christopher Reeve’s Superman pledging to fight for “truth, justice and the American Way” segues straight into Walter White of “Breaking Bad” snarling, “I am the danger.” Maximus from “Gladiator” and the dark warrior Kylo Ren from “Star Wars” share equal billing.

What do they have in common? Mainly, a reputation for kicking ass. Otherwise, heroes, antiheroes and villains are interchangeable here. There is no good and evil, only strength and weakness, winning and losing.

This is not necessarily the philosophy of the works from which the memes are snipped and clipped. The “Star Wars” franchise, for all its laser blasts, is full of cautions against punitive warfare and giving in to hate. “Gladiator” was an indictment of a society that turned blood sport into theater. (“Are you not entertained?”)

But the White House’s Iran videos espouse no ideals beyond domination and power. There is little sense in them of the war’s purpose, besides to be won. The message can be summed up in the refrain of Miami XO’s much-memed song “Bazooka,” used in one video: “Ka-blow/Ka-boom.”

This is not the first administration to be accused of taking a desensitizing approach to military imagery. In 1991 the Pentagon briefings in Operation Desert Storm, with their emphasis on bloodless footage of high-tech weaponry, were accused of ushering in an era of “Nintendo War.”

Nor is it nearly the first time that war and pop culture have meshed; see, for instance, the pro-war Looney Tunes shorts made during World War II, or the warplanes decorated with pictures of Rita Hayworth.

Still, there were once boundaries. Official voices at least made gestures toward the gravity of asking soldiers to kill and die. A Bugs Bunny cartoon was a Bugs Bunny cartoon, not an organ of the highest office in the land. F.D.R. was not issuing newsreels splicing combat footage with “Three Stooges” clips.

But on the White House social feed, a somber video of the president receiving the bodies of American war dead now exists on equal footing with Mortal Kombat references.

There has been pushback from some of the subjects used unwittingly in the videos, including Ed Reed, a former Baltimore Ravens safety, and the voice actor Steve Downes of the video game “Halo.” The director Ben Stiller insisted that the White House remove a clip from his film “Tropic Thunder,” writing, “War is not a movie.”

But the meme videos suggest that war is a movie, and that movies are war, and so are sports and games — that American culture’s whole run of fireballs, smackdowns and shoot-’em-ups is of one piece with the administration’s militainment aesthetic.

It used to be only strident detractors of pop culture who argued that macho entertainments were priming their audiences for war. Now that’s simply the implicit position of the White House. Every first-person shooter you played, these videos suggest, every superhero movie you watched, every head-on tackle you thrilled to all your life — those were just the opening act. This is the big show.

I hate puns, as they're not even punny.
But these White House guys are so cool,
I want to see a video of those scool girls all blowed up by there own Iranian government. I got bored with watching all them Ukrainian drone videos of guys getting there head blowed off. I hope Hegseth leeks sum cool videos.

Say, ALL CAPS chaos coadjutor, My apologies for the belated reply, as I just came back from an extended ayahuasca vacation.
well on this vacation I discovered that the reason I voted for Trump wasn't too accelerate society's collapse and bring about a socialist Utopia, but it was to bring about the Christian RAPTURE. As an American Jew, who was looking forward to moving to Israel to retire, but then who grew deeply ashamed at what the Zionist were doing to the Palestinians, I changed my mind. But then I discovered JESUS, and became a Jew for JESUS(in secret as it would cost great turmoil if found out publicly)
I'm sorry that people in Middle East have to suffer through this hellscape before our saivor arrives(blessed be his name).
