Oh, you fucking suck.

Goodbye 👋

Yeah, that’s why I asked them the question. It’s not even covert anymore. Do I think there is real rebellion happening against the Ayatollah? Yeah, I do. Do I think opportunists and reactionaries will use this to reinstall the Shah or some other western aligned government? Yeah, I absolutely do. I don’t know enough, do not have enough sources, or connections, to know what the character of the movement is on the ground. I don’t know if the Anarchists are organizing broadly, or if the Communists are forming any kind of vanguard to rally the masses, or if there is even a left popular front leading this movement. What I do know is that imperialism never sleeps, and never misses an opportunity to capture a movement.

In what way?

You don’t think there are reactionary elements within this movement being supported by foreign interests?

Someone should tell this communist about activitypub 🤷‍♂️

Oh I agree. I didn’t bother addressing headstamps because it seemed likely someone would just say “Well what if they didn’t have the casings!” You’re right though, the casings would have a makers mark on them and that would be enough to ID them.

Without knowing the methodology under which the analysis was done, we can’t really say for sure, can we? Forensic identification can be done that identifies bullets to their manufacturers based on their unique elemental signatures for example. I’m sure the Iranian military is capable of performing such forensic investigations and would have familiarity with Israeli weapons compositions. But I’m just some guy on the internet, so who can say.

Is it?

Hog on hog crime!

Yeah I might have to look into Librewolf.

LOL. Yeah, that was a weird one. The RSS feed returns presstv.ir URLs even though I pull the RSS feed from www.presstv.ir. For the life of me, I couldn’t get the links from my site to load, but if I googled the articles, they loaded fine. Naturally, FF on mobile truncates the www. making it seem like it was the same URL, but it actually wasn’t. I’ve added a post processor to the bot that will add the www. to the URLs now, and I’m working on going back over the last few days of presstv.ir posts and updating their URLs with a script.

I know a few years ago they had presstv.com sized by the US government, so who knows what kind of back end tricks they’re doing with the www. subdomain.

Temporarily embarrassed billionaires.

Hold on can you try putting www. In front of the URL?

I’m going to work on updating the bot to pull the full text of sites like this. Let me see if I can get the full text manually.

He has some good stuff, but I can’t forget the song he put out after Kirk was merked and how very “can’t we all get along!” It was. I don’t remember him having that energy for the United Health CEO. That dude had kids too, which is something he was sad about after Kirk got it.

now ceo’s come and go
and one jus went
the ingredients ya got
bake the cake ya get

no one should be killed
no blood should be spilled
Charlie shouldn’t have died
well you can’t hate the gun and love the gun that shot yer rival
you can’t be kind and wish pain upon a child

Just a year a part! Kirk was just a wittle guy speaking his mind and the United Health guy was just some CEO in the crowd. Kirk definitely didn’t represent the same kind of structural violence the CEO embodied. He definitely didn’t commit his own brand of disassociated terror.

But Jessy Wells is a well meaning lib. Was he attempting to not alienate the chuds who think he’s singing to them? Probably. This is what a lack of structural analysis gets you

Just when I think I know all the ways America inspired the Nazis, I learn of another.

I wonder that too. In actually a little surprised they weren’t mobilized against the protesters. Though, in some ways this also protects ICE from protestors.

Truthout is on the more liberal side of the scale I think. The more socialist and communist publications use words like ‘stolen’.

Who is “we” in this sentence?

Hmm, yeah this is an odd post. I’ll remove it.
