Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

Coati is such a bullshitter. When it comes to internet rallies the left is the gold standard. BLM, ICE protest, ANTIFA, NO KING protest country wide. People like Coati, LAZ and others lack self awareness on steroids.

Oh I think he's fully cognizant of what he does and says. The problem is that he believes the bullshit he spews. His world isn't made up of facts, only his belief that he's right and you better accept it. Or else.

Indeed, we will resist the fascist MAGAts until they are expelled from power. Get used to it, snowflake.

^notice how he omits the classical statement "to the last man" in his mini manifesto?

It's because even he knows there's only ONE man riding his rancorous wagon of resistance.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Gotten in an entire Lit Libturd "work"day already.
Amazing how that happens.
Simply amazing . . . .

Good for you!

Take the rest of the day off, go take a nap in your La-Z-Boy recliner.

Remember to unstrap your arsenal and place your weaponry on a nearby table with the safeties off ("seconds count" when Negroes are rioting, as you have repeatedly told us).

Maybe this will be the day one of your kids or grandkids picks up one of your unattended handguns and plays "cowboys and Indians"....

Oh look.

Fuck that "shoving it down our throats" bullshit.

The mere existence of anyone who does not conform to the social construct of the 1950s TV show "Leave It To Beaver" represents an existential threat to the existence of MAGA.

They don't understand how anyone could be different from THEIR values, so they hate them for that.

I think you’ve missed the point.

We dont care if you’re Trans & Gay, Rob.

We just don’t think it’s cool to be so aggressive about it.

Same as construction workers harassing women.

Get it? Just stop flashing your dick.

You are spot on. We don’t give a flying fuck if you’re gay, lezzy or trans for that matter. What the left loves to do is parade it around in such a way, they like to back you into a corner, surround you with their delusional values and then when you refuse to accept their values and defend your own beliefs and values you’re immediately labeled as a racist, homophobe, misogynist or transphobe. Fuck them!

Things escalated quickly. What caused all of the blowup?

Got the rest of the day in, which would amount to a libturd's "work"-rest-of-the-summer.



Motherfuckers couldn't keep up with me if their very lives depended on it.



Too bad they don't . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.



Surely you will receive what you deserve later, so learn to give what you can.
-Don’t try to hold onto your own happiness to break your faith and create unhappiness for others’ lives.
-When doing something, the outcome is unknown, but try to do it with all your heart.
-Happiness has no limits if you know how to share.
-Peace is in your soul; don’t spend too much time searching for it far away without reflecting on your own soul.



Love is always bestowed as a gift -- freely, willingly, and without expectation .... We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

~ Leo Buscaglia




Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.

~ Gilbert K. Chesterton




I'm a prisoner of people whom I don't forgive

How many melons bit the dust?

None, yet.



Got a new-to-me backhoe yesterday.



My planting options have expanded exponentially . . . .

The foundation of a new business venture.

Matti Friedman: When We Started to Lie


Exactly ten years ago, during an Israel-Hamas war that seemed major at the time but seems minor now, I published two essays describing my time reporting on Israel for the Associated Press. “Is there anything left to say about Israel and Gaza? Newspapers this summer have been full of little else,” I wrote at the time. “Television viewers see heaps of rubble and plumes of smoke in their sleep.” It wasn’t the volume of coverage that unsettled me in the summer of 2014. I was writing about something that had gone unreported, and which has done much to shape reality in the decade since—a change not in the news but in the newsroom.

The essays—the first for Tablet, and the second for The Atlantic—described my experience as a reporter watching from the inside as a major news organization lost its way in one of the world’s most heavily covered stories. To this day, nothing I’ve ever written has been quoted back at me more often. The essays go back into circulation every time there’s an explosion of violence here, and it happened again after the Hamas attack of October 7. I reread them recently, as the new tragedy in Gaza balloons into a moment that feels like a civilization shift, as rallies against “Zionism” become a staple of life in cities across the liberal West, and as a war launched by Muslim fundamentalists is recast with global success as a story of Jewish brutality, influence, and mendacity.

The most important thing I saw during my time as a correspondent in the American press, it seemed to me, was happening among my colleagues. The practice of journalism—that is, knowledgeable analysis of messy events on Planet Earth—was being replaced by a kind of aggressive activism that left little room for dissent. The new goal was not to describe reality, but to usher readers to the correct political conclusion, and if this sounds familiar now, it was both new and surprising to the younger version of myself who was lucky to get a job with the AP’s Jerusalem bureau in 2006.

The story I found myself part of proposed, in effect, that the ills of Western civilization—racism, militarism, colonialism, nationalism—were embodied by Israel, which was covered more heavily than any other foreign country. (Israel takes up one one-hundredth of one percent of the surface of the world, and one fifth of one percent of the landmass of the Arab world.)

By selectively emphasizing some facts and not others, by erasing historical and regional context, and by reversing cause and effect, the story portrayed Israel as a country whose motivations could only be malevolent, and one responsible not only for its own actions but also for provoking the actions of its enemies. The activist-journalists, I found, were backed up by an affiliated world of progressive NGOs and academics who we referred to as experts, creating a thought loop nearly impervious to external information. All of this had the effect of presenting a mass audience with a supposedly factual story that had a powerful emotional punch and a familiar villain.

“The lasting importance of this summer’s war, I believe, doesn’t lie in the war itself,” I wrote as the fighting petered out in 2014. “It lies instead in the way the war has been described and responded to abroad, and the way this has laid bare the resurgence of an old, twisted pattern of thought and its migration from the margins to the mainstream of Western discourse—namely, a hostile obsession with Jews.” It’s possible that I understated the problem.


And so on.


I'd say/conclude, however, that it started happening in 'Nam (if not before) and it's only gotten worse.

And what part of the U.S. invasion of 'Nam was covered as a lie?

Ah, there it is, the magic word "CONTEXT".

The word that allows evangelical Christians and war criminal Jews to justify their positions..but heaven forbid if YOU try to do that, because reasons.

"In the Bible, Jesus said 'feed the poor'".......but ackshually we need to look at teh historical CONTEXT say the evangelical Christian.
'The Old Testament says a man lying with a man is an 'abomination' ". No CONTEXT needed, teh Bible is teh inerrant word of GOD, end of discussion.
"The Jews are 'God's Chosen People". That's nice.
What not nice is the wholesale slaughter of the elderly, the sick and the very young in Gaza. "Welllllll you have to look at the historical CONTEXT to understand why Israel is completely justified in their war criminality..

To paraphrase what the WWE rassler THe Rock used to say, "take your CONTEXT. shine it up real good, turn it sideways and stick it up your ass"

Fuck you and your Israeli propaganda shill.
As always: Boycott...Divest... Sanction.

And continue the intifada.
