  • but the US knew Saddam had chemical weapons

    Yes, I know… the US knew about every gallon of mustard gas and sarin Saddam had - not only did the US provide intelligence to Saddam to specifically help his use of the stuff during the Iran-Iraq War be more effective, they could also literally read almost every damn ciphered communique of the Iraqi army at the highest levels thanks to the fact that Iraq used compromised ciphering machines bought from the CIA front company Crypto AG in Switzerland.

    They knew perfectly well Saddam had destroyed all his stockpiles - if he hadn’t, Bush would have never dared to invade Iraq.





  • I know, sorry… Can’t help but be honest about these things.

    It’s fine… it’s not your responsibility to come up with answers to these things.

    But we’re going to have to find ways if we don’t want our children and grandchildren growing up in bombed-out open-air prisons as well.










  • They’re relatively cheap and provide a lot of nutritional value for the weight - I buy them in big bags straight from the farmer’s market. Tree nuts (peanuts aren’t actually nuts at all - they’re legumes) are literally a luxury only the rich can afford in my country these days - kind of ironic since we’re the world’s top producer of macademia nuts.

    Roasting them is actually important since that degrades aflatoxins - they also just taste better.





  • Really? Tell that to all the “liberal” regimes that enabled fascists when said liberals couldn’t keep working-class revolt in check… Weimar Germany literally did that to crush the “Spartacist” revolt after WW1.

    There’s a saying amongst leftists - you can’t have a harvest of fascism without liberals loosening the ground for it first. Fascism is not some “aberration” of the classical liberal nation state and it never was.
