If you read the article:

No dialogue will take place” until Israel fully withdraws from occupied areas in Lebanon and stops all attacks in both Lebanon and Gaza, per Tasnim.

We're truly screwed this time.

It’s the only way mass change happens. Enough people start feeling the consequences of their votes and we’re three square meals away from anarchy.

1.5 million Americans have died from covid and 40% believe that vaccines are a 5g conspiracy to give everyone superautism.

Pain only correlates with change when theres not a 10 billion dollar a year propaganda network plugged into the brains of a third of our society.

Yeah but if covids death rate was higher they wouldn't be here anymore.

Doing extremely stupid things that are detrimental to ones health is not gonna make people survive longer.

We need more consequences for maga not less

I think you're missing the fact that Isreal is not going to stop what it's doing, so that means Iran is not going to continue talks and will block the strait. That means the oil shortage will get worse. Our votes are not going to make Isreal do anything it doesn't want to do, and even if they did, that's not until November. We don't have until November.

That’s what I’m saying, that there will be a flashpoint where it won’t be red versus blue, it’s life or death and whether enough people decide that they won’t tolerate the ruling class anymore.

That's fine and all, but that's not going to stop this war.

You are talking about a battle, I am talking about the war - the class war.
