I know who my enemies are. They make it very clear.

The more US servicemen die, the sooner this war will end, the sooner the markets will recover.

Nothing against them personally but they did volunteer to serve in an Israeli proxy force, it really is on them.


The smartest thing Trump could do right now would be to take this as a "victory" and end the war.

I think he would have liked to end the war a while ago, but Iran and Israel disagree, so he's stuck.

Let them fight till death then. Not an American problem.

Israel disagrees.

They are free to disagree. America can withdraw anytime it wants. Let Israel fight whoever they want to fight and cry as much about America as they want.

I've gone over this before; but they do not even chant "death to america". It's a deliberate mis-translation to stoke tensions between Iran and the US.

I'd like to see a less flexible markdown standard. There's no reason to have 2 different ways of italics/bold etc. Pick one, reject other text.

Yes, there is. Different people have different preferences.

Trump has a loyal hardcore, but he is absolutely bleeding supporters around the edges. If you follow the US right many of them are pledging to vote democrat in the midterms as a protest.

I noticed a wave of that right as trump declared war (declared conflict, whatever), people going "I voted for no new wars," but I noticed on /r/conservative that the takes quickly gave way to sudden concern about Iran's nuclear capability as the propaganda mills got their fodder in order.

So many hidden comments there

r/Conservative is, IMO, almost 100% guaranteed to be majority bots and the most hardcore admin apologists. They're a permanent safe space and often will delete even their own members' posts if they directly criticize the Leader.

Its only value is to see the desired responses from Fox News and the far-right media.


r/flairedusersonly needs mod permission to even post threads and they revoke that permission happily too. They are the party of free speech remember. Everything is "outside users" to them, everybody is a liberal in disguise.

Who moderates /r/conservative? Whenever I drop into old subreddits these days the whole place feels very astro-turfed. High chance that it's modded by zionists, they have a lot of money and a lot of different organisations that hire full time people to "fight disinformation".


Not an argument.

Between

- ADL

- StandWithUs

- AIPAC

- Zionist Organization of America

- Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism

- Act.IL / RiseAPP

- Israel Hub

and more, there's enough resources to get Their People into moderator positions at /r/conservative.


Those Zionists are everywhere.

They didn't make it into the Jewish Council of Australia: https://www.jewishcouncil.com.au/who-we-are

... but there's certainly no shortage of Zionist pressure and lobby groups wanting leverage and influence.


Yes, I've noticed.

There is only one reason for us to give a damn about Israel other than religious fervor, and it's their technology and intelligence apparatus. They only care about us because we give them a lot of money and weapons, and apparently will follow them into their Leeroy Jenkins war and do the heavy lifting.

They're committing a genocide and now are ethnically cleansing Lebanon of Muslims under the cover of the Iran War. Their government is not worthy of support.


That subreddit literally requires asking mods for permission to post threads and the flair that permits posting can and does often get revoked too. Its a "whitelist" subreddit so its astroturfed or filtered by definition.

It's extremely relevant given Israel's long history of extra-territorial assassinations and kidnappings.

The moment in history where we all pretend that Israel is a normal country has been and gone.


So it seems quite likely that Linkedin is actually tracking Jews with this.

Really? Which LinkedIn executive do you think might be behind this?

Jeff Weiner? (Executive Chairman)

Ryan Roslansky? (CEO)

Tomer Cohen? (Chief Product Officer who served in an IDF intelligence unit)

Dan Shapero? (Chief Operating Officer)


I maintain hope that the US will declare some arbitrary victory condition "Iran's capacity to do XYZ has been critically degraded!" and will unilaterally disengage.

Unfortunately this will almost definitely occur after Israel has included it's invasion of Lebanon and annexed more territory, which is what this whole war seems to be a cover for.


I think you are ignorant about the nuances of the US right. It is not a monolithic block anymore than the US left is.

Prominent right-wing figures who are against this war:

- Tucker Carlson

- Thomas Massie

- Candace Owens

- Marjorie Taylor Greene

- Rand Paul

- Steve Bannon

- Nick Fuentes

- Matt Gaetz

Honourable mentions:

- Joe Rogan (I know many people on HN would consider him right wing)

- Charlie Kirk (in the months leading up to his death he said it would be a "catastrophic mistake")

Trump's approval rating has dropped -16.7 points: this represents many of his core supporters bleeding away.
