Fair enough, the intent of my comment wasn’t to compare these protest movements in detail as much as it is to say that the American electorate does not give a shit about the wars and devastation their military industrial complex and politicians inflict on the rest of the world.

an attempt at hedging against any argument that his electoral failure is tied to his support for the genocide in Gaza

I find this exceedingly unlikely. The American electorate does not give a single flying shit about foreign policy and hasn’t punished an administration over warmongering since Vietnam and the draft. The protests against the war in Iraq 20 years ago were much larger and still bush/Obama were voted in and out based on economic reasons, not their warmongering. Until America’s foreign adventures directly and consistently lead to large scale consequences for the civilian population at large, the voting patterns of the American electorate will not be affected by foreign policy. They do not give a shit.

Rofl I feel like the slur-remover is a bit over tuned if it is picking out slurs from alphanumeric archive links

Pier, which has delivered the equivalent of a single day’s pre-war land aid deliveries in two months, will reportedly be removed in a few days’ time

Phenomenal handle on that account

Actually worth reading:

A long read on the diplomatic, financial, public opinion aspects of the war in ukraine from Ben Aris, noted realist lib and friend of ukraine. He is worth reading as despite his reflexive dislike of Putin, he has consistently had a good read on the economic/intra-EU politics end of the war and the failures of energy sanctions on Russia

Neoliberalism in action:

Kellogg said if Trump wins, he would likely suggest a NATO meeting in June 2025 to discuss the future of the alliance. He said NATO could subsequently become a “tiered alliance,” in which some members enjoy greater protections based on their compliance with NATO’s founding articles.

Shaping Tomorrow: A Roadmap for Ukraine’s Reconstruction using Virtual Assets https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/policy-briefs/shaping-tomorrow-roadmap-ukraines-reconstruction-using-virtual-assets

The full-scale invasion only strengthened Ukraine’s ambition to build a blockchain-friendly economy. As a result, two competing draft laws are currently in progress, both primarily aiming to address the tax issues in relation to virtual assets and thereby provide a basis for regulating the virtual asset market.

The assets they use to rebuild ukraine will be virtual alright

Yeah what happened last week to make that thread blow up? Did pronouns attempt a coup or something?

Have these people ever gone to a barber? Haircut posters with models wearing different cuts are a thing in literally every barber I’ve ever been in

Sarcasm: That give you a sense of what parts of ukraine they’re press ganging the most soldiers from - places that are more heavily ethnically russian

The whole point of birthright is to convince naive young Jewish people from abroad to make aliyah, marry Israelis and make Jewish babies. Bog standard ethnonationalism

Worth rereading these older stories in context with this story from haaretz

https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/shoot-everything-how-israeli-pilots-killed-their-own-civilians

There was also an interview with a young woman helicopter pilot on Oct 7 that talked about how many times they went back for loads of hellfire rockets, free firing at things that moved. I can’t find that interview now though, I don’t recall the outlet it was in.
