I have never understood why people anticipate game realeases - I mean, people have learned how the AAA game industry works by now, right?

but the US knew Saddam had chemical weapons

Yes, I know… the US knew about every gallon of mustard gas and sarin Saddam had - not only did the US provide intelligence to Saddam to specifically help his use of the stuff during the Iran-Iraq War be more effective, they could also literally read almost every damn ciphered communique of the Iraqi army at the highest levels thanks to the fact that Iraq used compromised ciphering machines bought from the CIA front company Crypto AG in Switzerland.

They knew perfectly well Saddam had destroyed all his stockpiles - if he hadn’t, Bush would have never dared to invade Iraq.

A way to rapidly exit a game a la The Binding Of Isaac: Afterbirth. It has saved that game from being rage-deleted off my machine plenty of times.

And your insult of me is transphobic and ableist, you bigot.

Not proud of being a white supremacist, eh? Now why do you imagine that would be?

So you admit this meme is simply straight up misinformation?

That’s strangely honest for a white supremacist.

Considering that western media is hysterically blaming Palestinians for Israeli atrocities now, I’d say it’s rather Israel’s (alleged) “plight” that’s getting the limelight - not Gaza.

How convenient… every time Israel indiscriminately murders Palestinians, it’s just going to be blamed on Palestinians?

Riiiight… US intel “confirms.”

Have they found Saddam’s “Weapons Of Mass Destruction” yet?

Some frag grenades and claymore mines would have probably helped, too.

Nobody is in the clear right and nobody is blameless.

No matter what anyone has done - it is Israel (and it’s western backers) that carries full responsibility for what occurs here. Period.

Really? Tell that to all the “liberal” regimes that enabled fascists when said liberals couldn’t keep working-class revolt in check… Weimar Germany literally did that to crush the “Spartacist” revolt after WW1.

There’s a saying amongst leftists - you can’t have a harvest of fascism without liberals loosening the ground for it first. Fascism is not some “aberration” of the classical liberal nation state and it never was.

all have severe issues with fascism right now

It’s not an issue… fascism is a feature of classical liberal nation states - not a flaw.

super-duper-mega-unregulated-corporation-shareholder-moneymaker3000 type of ultra capitalism

Sooo… just bog-standard capitalism, then?

You’d be better off arguing a case of genocide instead.

You mean… that thing people who know better have been accusing Israel off since the very start?

If you think Gandhi was bad, you should look into Mother Theresa - the woman was literally a Disney cartoon villain.

TIL there’s a disturbing amount of USians who think Iran is actually Atlantis.

The only way Israel will ever stop the genocide is by ceasing to exist. If you don’t understand that you don’t understand what Israel is.

This whole obsession with policing people’s nationality came about because states were trying to clamp down on the massive amounts of working-class agitation that erupted across the world straight after WW1 - but all that history has essentially been scrubbed out from the “official” narratives.

Better for whom? Tell that to all the people doing the heavy lifting under capitalism.

Besides… a “communist” dictatorship isn’t communist - it’s just a dictatorship. If you’re doing dictatorship, you’re not much of a communist.

Modern economists don’t normally align themselves with simplistic ideologies

Yeah… there’s just a whole bunch of them whose sole purpose seems to be coming up with simplistic fairy tale narratives to brainwash the masses with. After all… what would Reagen have been without Hayek, or Pinochet without the Chicago Boys?
