It took a once in a century flood, the collapse of the USSR, and sanctions for DPRK to reach those numbers. The US achieved that while still having food to spare, what an amazing system.

Could be that Proton is just a few Wine releases behind, or their customization and extras break a few things unintentionally.

If it is about looks, it is possible to install themes.

Racist violent settler colony behaves like a racist violent settler colony.

I’m getting strong Neoliberal/Zionist vibes from the author. Was not pleasant to read their post.

Amerikans: Are we Russia?

Russia isn’t any worse than the US

despite the fact that their regime is brutal and oppressive

True of nearly all countries. For example in many Western countries you can be arrested, prosecuted, fined, jailed and lose your job for supporting Palestine or saying “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. You may be living in such a country.

I will die without aircon, on the upside I will probably die thirsty before summer

The US and the UK forcefully removed the people of the island to build the base.

The topography is non conductive. There was a pipeline that went to Sidon though.

Shame on Israel using settlers as human shields

The shortsighted fascists running the US and Israel might do it, but it won’t have the outcome they hope. Iran is massive and will completely destroy the region’s energy infrastructure before the second one drops. Then again why wait a few weeks, if they could have done so they would have by now.

They probably figured that destroying West Asia leaves them with either Russian oil or Chinese renewable technology, both are less desirable.

I hope Iran wins this war and I hope the US and Israel pay for their crimes.

Even prominent democratic politicians and liberal talking-heads were supportive of the war on Iran, because both sides are “Israel First”. It is like everyone forgot how dependent their economy is on fossil fuels.

Western liberal democracies are structurally flawed, and despite the immense systemic advantage capital already enjoys, capital still needs to manipulate education, religion, and media to persuade people to vote against their own material interests. The result is a political landscape that, in many cases, produces outcomes more dysfunctional than those seen in some modern monarchies or even historic feudal systems—yet with the added disadvantage that many citizens remain unaware of their own diminished political and economic conditions, convinced they live in the freest societies on earth and that everything elsewhere must be worse. Concluding such a system is not truly democratic, or merely a democracy of the bourgeoisie is a valid conclusion, because whether systematic or through manipulation of education, religion and media, they are the only ones who benefit from it, and the majority have no means of getting what they want.

I know you already know this. This comment was meant for any lurker who doesn’t know. The people who think they are one election away from fixing the system if they would only voter harder.

Have you? The recent protests were due to economic issues caused by the sanctions. Iran is diverse: Shia Muslims, Sunni Muslims, ethnic and religious minorities, so of course there will be all kind of different views, but the majority viewed Ali Khamenai as a religious leader as well as a political leader, he was also a religious leader to Shia outside of Iran. He was most similar to the role the Pope played during the Papal State period.

This could be read as all Iranians hate Trump which is most probably true, or all Iranians hate their government which is most definitely false.
