In Halo 1 if you kill the elites all the grunts start running around randomly, and I remember a while back Al Qassam mentioned that they specifically target higher ranking IDF soldiers in attacks because it cripples their operating capacity. So they are also kind of similar to the Halo grunts.

The IDF behave exactly like the grunts from Half Life 1

The original quote was from a show around the time the COVID checks dropped. It was about how Democrats were the only true believers in neoliberalism bc they pushed means testing the hardest. I'll link it in another comment if I can dig it up.

This was in the wake of the democrats trying to means test the covid release checks. He mentioned that they were the only true believers in neoliberalism, that Republicans would have thrown everybody a check to save their own asses. I think it applies here as well, they're true believers in this thing without any cynicism or self interest.

I don't think anyone but a Democrat would decimate their reelection chances, burn through all of their undeserved good will, directly attack Yemen, kick off a generational crisis of legitimacy for liberalism, and allow themselves to be implicated in a genocide case at the ICJ for a country that openly hates them and wants the orange coup guy back in office.

Matt Christman was right, they are the only true believers in this thing, literally anyone else would have taken an offramp for this crisis months ago.

Remembering there's a Northern Irish pro-UK pundit literally named "Mick Fealty"

Nikki Haley's press coverage is a permanent reminder that our journalist class is completely divorced from reality. Just wish casting for a world in which the American reactionary movement never mutated into a cult of personality around Donald Trump.

My policy is to never interact with reddit outside of niche hobby or explicitly communist subs unless the posts are linked here to mock.

Europe will be on the brink of total economic collapse and total right wing electoral victory and the European "left" will still be insisting that real clintonism has never been tried.

Fun game is to go into the comments and click on the most vile ones, then check the post histories.

Found one posting about luxury whiskey in between borderline slurs directed at gazans, can you imagine? This is what the imperial core turns human beings into, just vile, soulless husks completely devoid of empathy or compassion, shambling about the earth in search of boutique goods and scolding anyone who objects to this pointlessly cruel bloodletting. No amount of bombing could ever dehumanize Gaza as thoroughly as access to American prosperity has dehumanized these people.
