You can just admit to being wrong without trying to insult everyone that was correct.
The cat is CIA, DEA, DHS, CPB and US military personnel. They operate the most successful drug smuggling and distribution networks. This is why they oppose any legal change on prohibition.

There’s an interesting blog that analyzes the transition of political economy from medieval europe to the rise of capital through a perspective of the mechanics of occult practices. It’s pretty well thought out and compares church occult practices and their relations to “capital occultism” via social relations and rituals.
This post is about how money aka capital is transmuted to embody commodified labor value in a similar structure of social relations (“occult magic”) as the holy cracker being consecrated and transmuted to embody the flesh of Jesus Christ.

The previous post is also quite good that covers the concept of Marx’s “real god” that is manifested via the capital imperative to continuously increase profit and accumulation.
I think Catholicism is a better philosophical model than alternatives and most priests agree with me.
Guess you haven’t been following the news lately.
Yet just as these creative expressions of national resistance reached peak global influence, YouTube jumped in. The platform suspended the Explosive Media channel under baseless allegations of policy violations, effectively silencing a powerful voice of dissent
What followed was a transparent smear campaign by Western media outlets, led by the BBC, aimed at discrediting the creators and justifying the censorship. Their goal was clear: to silence any narrative that dared challenge the official US-Israeli framing of the aggression.
My cognitive dissonance is causing me health problems, please stop asking me to think critically about things! It’s very stressful on my feeble psyche.
Unlimited mini strokes on the nazi apologists.
BuT dO yOu cOnDeMn RDJ!?!?
I authorize any of the resistances forces to use lethal violence against any and all zionists. This is what international law says in the UN charter. The occupied have a legal right to armed resistance against their occupiers.
I think RDJ is likely a fairly low priority target in the fight against zionazis, but I trust the resistance forces judgement on that one.
oh no! the quote that is from 2025 is worth ignoring because I used a picture from 2001 in a meme, darn that sucks! How does time work?
Why should I care or you care about that in this context? Does he have power to bomb Palestine or something? Does he fund zionist organizations? I don’t know. If he does, that’s pretty shitty. His co-star has made statements in support of Palestine and against genocide, so maybe he is a zionist, but again that’s pretty inconsequential compared to being the leader of a country sending lethal aid to Israel.
Why does that matter to you at all? He obviously supports Israel in spite of all the genocide. Why does his hasbara definition make you believe he is just “confused”? It’s equivalent to the “just following orders” defense, except he was the leader of a country sending weapons to be used in genocide. How can you absolve that just because he acts the fool? WTAF.
WTF, does he have nukes or something? Do you think he’s actually IronMan? Don’t hurt your back with that hasbara reach.
Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts : Western Ukraine’s fascist settlers :: Gaza and West Bank : Israel’s fascist settlers
That’s why Ukrainian nationalists (Banderites) burned down a Trade Union building in Odessa in 2014. Ukrainian nationalists supported by the US took power in a coup. There was then an anti-Russian ethnic cleansing campaign across Ukraine but most especially in the ethnic Russian regions for 8 years along the Eastern border.
History does not start in 2022.
