Facts don't care about your feelings. You've presented zero evidence to the contrary, how are you this confident about your assertion? This is such a joke

And still there's politicians out there saying things like "I will not ban fracking. I did not as vice president. In fact, I cast the tie-breaking vote to open up more fracking leases". Playing with people's lives just to make a buck. Really shows they're not beholden to the people but to the owning class.

Oh hey look a guy on the internet who doesn't when someone contradicts his baseless claims with evidence. There's something you don't see every day.

I never really looked into this (relation between speed limits and accidents/safety), so I figured I'd verify your statement with a quick google search and it turns out you've got it all wrong. There is a deep well established link between speed limits and accident risk, see for example here:

https://road-safety.transport.ec.europa.eu/eu-road-safety-policy/priorities/safe-road-use/safe-speed/archive/speeding/speed-central-issue-road-safety/speed-and-accident-risk_en

Now you know! :)

The "drive off the cliff" party vs the "drive off the cliff, but ever so slightly slower and also we'll wave some rainbow flags I guess" party. I know who I'm voting for!

What about the nakba massacres strikes you as reversible? Do you know what the word reversible means?

If I set fire to your house, and then I turn to you saying "ooh boy this is a hairy problem, you better take care of it", I am entirely responsible for your house being on fire.

It should be noted that it was the "please stop murdering children" kind of "antisemitism", not real antisemitism.

And what do you personally think of this strategy?

If you read closely there's a second line in the picture saying "just kidding, that's in the US today". No claim is made about the USSR under Stalin.

And when the world police no longer polices we get emboldened actions like bombing Iran for no good reason.

I think you have a mistaken idea of what the policing has looked like in the past 78 years. The US bombed Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lybia, and they've armed plenty of regimes doing the bombing for them (Saddam Hussein, for example). America has been destabilizing the globe for decades, and there is a lot of blood on their hands (on the order of 12 million, if we count direct casualties).

You think there was a good reason for invading Iraq?
