Many communist treat their glorious revolution as a prophesied end times. Treating the revolution as the end to all their enemies.
For sure, but the "book" isn't being closed here, like an end time/eschatological end, the revolution happens and continues into the glorious forever, free of inequality, choice, merit, exploitation (lol) and strife. They promise a forever golden age, not merely end to capitalism/exploitation.

An end is guaranteed to all of us and to probably pretty much everything. A promised and inevitable golden age? Much more religiously/metaphysically slanted.
 
NY TIMES: The administration has enacted a suspension on the approval of almost all type of visas for Palestinian passport holders.
NY Times: The new measures were laid out in an August 18 cable sent by the State Department headquarters to all U.S. embassies and consulates, and would prohibit Palestinians, including the diaspora, from entering the United States on various types of non-immigrant visas.
NY Times: The change will affect visas granted for medical treatment, university studies, visits to friends or relatives, and business travel, at least temporarily. The restrictions cover anyone holding only a Palestinian passport; they do not apply to Palestinians with dual nationalities using other passports, or those who have already obtained visas.
NY Times: US Consulates were told to invoke section 221-G of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 to refuse visitor visas to anyone using a Palestinian passport in applications. The move is tantamount to a blanket rejection of Palestinian visa requests, according to former US officials.


The Trump administration has enacted a sweeping suspension of approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, according to American officials.
The new policy goes beyond the restrictions announced by U.S. officials recently on visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza. Last week, the State Department also said it would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to attend the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.
The more sweeping measures, laid out in an Aug. 18 cable sent by State Department headquarters to all U.S. embassies and consulates, would also prevent many Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank and in the Palestinian diaspora from entering the United States on various types of nonimmigrant visas, according to four U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information.
The new measures affect visas for medical treatment, university studies, visits to friends or relatives and business travel, at least temporarily.

@Hungry Wes Borland You were saying?
 
There's a difference between hitting the breaks but not being able to stop in time and not hitting the breaks at all. The video looked like the latter, someone not thinking or reacting.
How much of a window was there to react? 4 seconds? A driver chatting with passengers or is older is likely not going to be alert enough to hit the breaks to the sudden wall that appeared on what was an open freeway.
 
Could be that the South Sudanese government is on the take and doesn't care about the future like so many politicians these days.
south sudans recent history consists mainly of (north) sudanese arabs enslaving and subjugating (south) sudanese africans, and when they started resisting the answer from the north was a borderline genocidal crackdown
i dont remember how exactly the south managed to win its independence but even now it's still an unbelievably poor country
i really don't see how palis would fit in there at all, nor would they want to go there
 
His audience are younger men that are largely uninvolved in politics or even voting yet but have been told their whole lives they aren’t allowed to express any opinion other than “Let black woman speak.”
Can confirm, have sooner aquatances, they've gone Fuck Trump to Fuck the Democrats in the last 5 years and I think it's largely due to Asmongold. It's not so much that he's redpilling them, just letting them see how fucked the narrative they are being fed is, and they radicalize themselves.

It's going to be a disaster if they go through with this idea.

Easy money and if the Palis get uppity I doubt the South Sudan goverment is opposed to a little genocide of their own.
 
I’m going to disagree with the “Asmongold is a faggot that shouldn’t talk about politics take” Firstly, that purity test is such typical lefty behavior I despise it. Whining about people you personally don’t like having an opinion when they sound like most of KiwiFarms just comes off as petulant.
Whining about Asmongold is just Millennials turning into old men yelling at clouds.
 
maybe dont do fucking oct 7th when israel was rebuilding the gazan economy. not like Palestinians can topple over a country that's already toppled over
Wanna sperg for your masters again? You know they've pissed off everyone now right?Once the American bible-thumper dies out Israel will not be in a good position.Guess why the goal now is to kill and displace as many of the Palestinians as possible.

i'm far from an expert on south sudan, but i suspect that whatever passes for government there would be unable to deal with the battle hardened, experienced, well organized terrorist groups and the international backing and funding that the palestinians have going for them.
if palis were transplanted into south sudan, hamas could probably take over the government within a few months after arriving there if they wanted.

Ummmm what are you talking about Jew? Shouldn’t you sing and dance and smoke weed with the people that put your babies in ovens? Of course this doesn’t justify starving their kids to death. Or bombing churches for the fun of it.

Everyone in the Middle East is a retarded psycho, and America should never have been involved.
 
I hate niggers too, but a truck blocking an entire highway at a dead stop is virtually unavoidable. Either you will careen into the truck, or you will stop and somebody will careen into the back of you. What you're asking for is about twenty random people to have the reflexes of a CS:GO zoomer taking Adderall.
80-ton semis cannot come instantly to a dead stop, which is why a truck breaking down on the freeway doesn't generally turn into a mass casualty incident. This is one of those nice stories where we don't have to choose between "fuck jeets" and "lol niggers."

Apparently they had 22 year long civil war that was ultimately resolved by a peace agreement in 2005 and then a government referendum in 2011 which resulted in Sudan Sudan going off on its own for good.
 
It's kind of wild how everyone pivoted from "this is horrible, how could such a thing have happened" when the story was that an Indian semi truck driver decapitated a parent and 2 kids. Now that it's come out that they're Haitian niggers, people are suddenly claiming that they should have had Spider-Man reflexes and stopped the car or swerved around it.

I don't suddenly like Haitians but holy fuck, get your shit together guys. It's okay to dislike someone and still recognize that they were murdered by a jeet. You don't need to do a total 180.

Depends on the terrain, but on flat ground, a semi going from being stopped on the shoulder to being halfway across the switchback is going to take way more than 4 seconds. So, if it was in a flat, clear space like where a switchback, even an emergency one, ought to be, then they would have probably had a quarter of a mile to recognize that the semi was doing something strange and then slow down. They didn't slow down at all. Could have been distracted, or could have just not understood what they were seeing and their brain went blank.

If you think that there was nothing they could have done, then that's fine. I think that they were stupid Hatians who think that cars are powered by HooDoo ghosts. Doesn't matter much, either way. Not enough that we should argue over it for pages when DONALD TRUMP IS DEAD DID YOU SEE THAT BRUISE ON HIS HAND??
