There is literally no winning for Palestinians. Their slow death is ignored, and their resistance is condemned.
My instinct was to make a joke about libs performatively supporting things instead of materially.
But in this case, I prefer they don't actually provide any material support. So good work libs. You're being so brave
Don't jinx this I'm pretty sure libs have collectively crowdfunded literally dozens of millions of dollars into Ukraine
Just my coworkers alone have crowdfunded over 5k to deliver medical supplies to the Ukrainian army
I condemn the violent actions, anyway here’s a thousand bucks to Nazi thugs and another thousand to Apartheid thugs
But in this case, I prefer they don't actually provide any material support.
Unfortunately, those are the only cases where America gives material support
Boy we went from "slava ukraini" to "...slava israeli?" real quick.
how to "heil hitler" when you're too scared to do it properly:
Goldfish memory westerners only have enough short term memory space to remember one overseas conflict at a time.
Ehh it wouldn't do much. A b25 bomber actually hit the empire state building in 1945 and the building is still there. It's a much more robust structure than the wtc.
huh, interesting! i did not know about that. admittedly, it sounds like a problem that could be solved by adding more plane to the equation
"a fifteenth plane has hit the empire states building, it still hasn't fallen over yet"
i'm picturing this comedy of errors style, with dozens of saudi grandmas lining up outside cockpits to take over and try their shot at IRL jenga
Wouldn't a modern passenger jet have a much greater impact than a B25? The latter is several times lighter.
And like most Liberal efforts, it's half-assed and meaningless
One fuckin' hour of light?
Lol oh there’s a building on my commute that had its colors set blue and yellow for the longest time I imagine they’re on this wave too
My favorite cringe story about lighting things up in the colors of a nation's flag is when Sweden at the start of the Ukraine war made the baffling decision to show solidarity with Ukraine by lighting up city hall and the Stockholm subway in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The problem with this is that the Ukrainian flag has the exact same colors as the Swedish flag, and since the lamps had already been installed for years they just turned them on on their default setting, just like they had done about once a week whenever there was any kind of national event, no matter how small. But this time it was for Ukraine, not a friendly football game against Slovakia or the queen's birthday or a Eurovision song contest or any of the other reasons they had turned on those exact same lights hundreds of times before. And THAT is how you do a TRULY empty gesture folks.
the queen's birthday
This is a huge tangent but I always find it funny when I'm reminded Sweden has a monarchy
When Napoléon came back, he actually asked Bernadotte to come and help him, to which Bernadotte promptly replied 'Get the fuck out of here loser lol, lmao even'
I'm mad at Ukraine for slightly ruining blue and yellow for me, my favorite color combination my whole life. At least I procrastinated long enough on getting the neat blue and yellow camo pants I wanted thats it's no longer an issue
They are also the colors of the EU flag!
...I'm sorry. I realize that I am further ruining your perfectly harmless enjoyment of a pretty nice color combination.
Blue and yellow also belongs to the shittiest Planetside faction

NY lighting one of their biggest symbols in Cowboys colors. Loser mentality.
