i like how Iran has never committed a single act of “terrorism” or supported any organisation which does and yet
Have you consider that they’re brown?
brown and Muslim. how dare they
but muh iran-backed militias in post-saddam iraq.
who destabilized iraq? don’t worry about it.
Actions against the US, UK, Israel etc are justified as part of the hybrid war these states have been fighting against one another for decades, and most of these are based on pretty flimsy evidence/accusations. Most major states could be called “sponsors of terrorism” if this is what qualifies. Of course, that’s not to say that stuff like the Fatwa against Rushdie is good, or based, just that this pales in comparison to what other states have done to Iran for the past couple of centuries.
Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

How to stop being a liberal: realizing that this extends to media beyond just media that glazes Trump
Honestly he should get it, the price is a joke anyway. If kissinger can get it why can’t he?
If Obama got one don’t see why Trump can’t get one either, it’s clearly a complete sham.
Hell, they gave one to Kissinger.
Oh yeah I forgot about that, what a fucking joke.
Oh no, the legitimacy of my international liberal institutions is threatened!
Worst state sponsor of terrorism
The projection is strong with this one.
Hey aren’t you the same person that should be banned for whining about your pro-Zionist bullshit story about Palestinians supposed mass SA against settlers got removed?
If you share receipts with me I’ll ban them
Edit: found it
You’re the person posting hasbara atrocity propaganda, and you’re here to tell us that corporate media can’t be trusted because dRuMpF bAd
Amazing
You are making a baseless claims.
But,
What is your point here exactly?
If you’d like to read more, Zei Squirrel on substack wrote a long piece about fabricated Israeli claims of Hamas mass-SA https://zeisquirrel.substack.com/p*removed*-hoax-redux-debunking-the-latest
Uh it’s not a baseless claim, the baseless claim was that news story you kept posting claiming Palestinians mass SA Israeli settlers on October 7th
Go away
Because you don’t like to read facts and you would rather say baseless claims, because repeating them is easier than proving them?
”Facts don’t care about your feelings”
Good thing that Ram_The_Manparts exposed you as an Israeli propaganda spreader, because I had no idea who you were.
Sharon Zagagi-Pinhas, who was the former chief military prosecutor of the Israel Defense Forces
That’s who you think is trustworthy, someone who used to work for the IOF
Must be the easiest job in the world, “Your honor these soldiers were scared for their lives as those children were approaching them with military grade antisemitism, I rest my case.”
Bro, are you high or something?
Exactly the kind of original response I’d expect from someone who believes in hasbara propaganda!
That is exactly what I expected a high person to say
Here’s the link to the thread in question since you seem to have forgotten. Source: Your post history.
The thread does not prove the other prson claims.
You literally posted a link to hasbara atrocity propaganda in the form of a corporate media article lmao
Now go away
And using it as their source of why it’s not propaganda 😂
link to hasbara atrocity propaganda
Got any proof for that?
Fuck off and die
Die how exactly?
yeah it does, it proves precisely the claim made you absolute loser.
how dare you talk back to them instead of slinking off like a caught liar rightly should.
You’re absolutely shameless. I feel sorry for your parents.
Are you a kid?
Who the fuck talks like that?
The article in that thread was published by CNN, a corporate news outlet. Why should we trust that article given the title of this post?
The report is done by a nonprofit actually.
CNN only talked about it.
Bush already stopped Saddam from using WMDs, and he never got the price. Trump is still playing catch up.
Complete the farse circle. Make the award really worthless.
DEW IT!
The funniest possible outcome is that Trump gets dozens of newsworthy nominations, but still doesn’t win the Prize.
fuck it, why not
I’ve said it before, but I really don’t understand how these “Journalists” function. Like, surely they would know that flat out lying to people is the opposite of all those starry-eyed dreams they had studying journalism at uni. Like, surely someone gets into journalism because they want to inform the public, or they want to win a Pulitzer or something. So I don’t get how they could be so soulless in their career, how do they justify it to themselves? Is it just the money? Is it the “if I wasn’t doing this, someone else would be, so I might as well benefit” are they true believers who think that anything can be justified, as long as it makes “their side” look good? I can’t imagine them being anything other than incredibly evil and selfish, or incredibly naive or stupid, or some combination of the two.
I don’t think there’s a single group of people I would trust less than journalists, maybe political scientists or economists.
EDIT: I think I might’ve found a worse group of people, the sort of people who recognise that journalists are full of shit, and yet will take the word of journalists as gospel, as long as it agrees with their preconceived notions about the scary brown people.
opinion section, sounds like the NYT isn’t the only paper with a bedbug problem
The “cool” nations should make an equivalent award, but that doesn’t go to war criminals
Make it a double whammy and give him the fake one for economy as well
Throw in a science one as well
