Extremely funny that Republican brainworms have become so advanced that right after a massive realignment of Tech people from Democrats to Republicans, they still end up coming down hard on the tech firms.

Somehow propaganda doesn't happen here and Danish State Media is totally trustworthy, anyway time to interview the correspondant in Tel Aviv, who is mysteriously allowed to continue broadcasting.

The danger with Lebanon is that the country has a huge number of factions who all more or less hate the Shia parts of Lebanon more than they hate the Israelis. And if Hezbollah has to simultanously fend off attacks from Israel in the south, and the fascist militias in the north, then the situation is going to become ugly.

Been seeing a bunch of those stickers in my neighbourhood for a couple of months now, and they contain no useful information except for a QR-code, which made me suspect it as some kind of op by a bored intelligence officer.

Danish state media has been talking about the Trump case all morning, which has made my commute unbearable. They also refer to it as "trump being convicted of illegal bookkeeping" which is probably the correct way to describe the case, as it is itself very boring. Only good part is that one of my bosses is a trial lawyer who has been having a field day with recounting all the different ways that the lawyers involved are fucking things up, which is mildly funny.

In other news, a candidate for the European Parliamentary elections has withdrawn their candidacy after it has been revealed that the candidate participated in a "pro-Putin and Pro-russian" forum, which was opened to people who had parents from russian-speaking countries and basically functioned as a cultural exchange program. Naturally all the libs I know are celebrating and every non-white person is pointing out that we're basically prosecuting people in the papers for the crime of having russian ancestry.

All in all, these last few days have been really dumb

Since Denmark is a NATO country, we like to teach a lot of our troops to use NATO-parlance when doing millitary stuff. It helps them communicate with the Americans, and since Denmark never does any millitary stuff without American involvement, it's become a necessity. Also pretty much everyone here speaks english, particularly young people, so it's not surprising that a millitary vessel filled with young people talks like that.

I got told by my mom during an argument about Israel-Palestine that my solution (israel stops existing and israelis become equal citizens in Palestine) was utopian, shortly before she proposed nuking Israel because "they keep fighting no matter what, so this is the only way"

Seems like the commanders are grifting to the same tune as the Afghan National Army. Surely even they must understand that you can only keep that going until you actually need to use your army against an enemy, or maybe they just plan on fucking off before shit hits the fan.

I know next to nothing about Iran but I just think it's worth noting that Israel is not shitting it's pants about Egypt (most populous Arab country and litterally located right next to Israel) or Saudi Arabia (incredibly ressourcerich and a leading figure in the Arab world), or any other GCC state for that matter. Israel is constantly shitting it's pants about Iran and whether Iran is close to having an actual fighting chance against Israel. And I genuniely think that is a pretty good barometer for who you should look at as allies for Palestine and the palestinians. I just hope that the people of Palestine sees the complete among the leadership of the arab monarchies and how they abandonned them in such a crucial moment.

Sounds like the bubble is actively being deflated even if it's getting done at a slower pace than most people here would like to see.

Everyone knows that any form of dissent is actually brigading, and the more dissent there is, the more you're being brigaded.

The brigading claims get extremely annoying when it's made by someone who just posted something extremely wrong and is now getting corrected by a bunch of people with more knowledge of the facts.
