Giving the Nazis days of nation-wide headline media coverage every time they do a ten minute photo op is not a good way to get them to stop doing photo ops.

one of the most harmful things about the contemporary internet is the propagation of conspiracy-type thinking en masse
it's gotten to the point where the average highly online person is part of at least one epistemological community that's totally divorced from the rest of reality

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
No one should have that much.

That ceasefire I did where I still Kill All the People.
Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza?
Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse
HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it
