    While it’s better than keeping a barren monoculture lawn, keep in mind that letting things grow with no intervention will get you a lot of invasive species. If you want healthier habitat for your critters try to keep an eye on what’s growing and replace the bad stuff with native options.



  • You’re just wildly incorrect on all fronts here.

    since you were the one talking about nations’ flags

    A nation is not a nation state, and a population doesn’t have to be a sovereign state to have a flag.

    No, they did it in order to hit their targets, which were often cities.

    Exactly, to limit collateral damage. Germany (and the RAF’s night bombing, to be fair) also targeted cities with strategic war industries, they just cared more about their pilots’ safety than civilian lives.

    You’re putting words in my mouth.

    I’m not at all, I’m pointing out the lack of criticism for clips like the one above. There’s not even reserved judgment until we know what got hit and who died, just full throated support based only on the name of the city being bombed. I’m the only one here wanting evidence that these attacks are targeting anything of value and limiting non combatant deaths.

    Remember when Israel was criticized for half-hearted pamphlet dropping to warn of barrages? All the scorn at Israel’s reports of the use of human shields? The outrage over bombing population centers and refugee camps allegedly hiding rockets? Zionists saying Palestinians deserved bombing because they elected Hamas and had parties celebrating Oct 7 and X% of Palestines supported Y?

    I’m seeing the exact same comments in reverse. Just read the comments on this post. But this time nobody bats an eye because the “right” people are dying.


  • Holy fuck you don’t even know what a nation is lmfao

    If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.

    If you knew anything about WW2, you’d know that strategic bombing of population centers was a futile effort that wasted lives. Allies and Axis both admitted it, and the Allies even stuck to day bombing to limit collateral damage.

    I’ve been asking up and down this thread for any context on what these bombs hit, any evidence at all, and all I get is equivocation like yours.

    Your “critical support” isn’t very critical at all, it’s pretty one dimensional. Isreal bombs a population center: bad. Iran bombs an Isreal population center: good. I’ve seen no depth beyond that.


  • These aren’t people being tried for their crimes, not even people being picked out and put in front of a firing squad. This is an explosion in a city. You have no clue who might have been in that area any more than I do.

    How many residents have fired a weapon against a Palestinian? 30% if you’re being generous? That’s about the same as the population of children.

    You’re OK with those odds? Or does your form of communism always cheer at indiscriminate death so long as some of the right people get caught in it? If X% of the population drinks the apartheid propoganda kool-aid it’s open season? What’s your number?


  • Total population of Israel: 9.2 million Total IDF personnel (including reservists): 500k Total settler population: 700k Total Isreal police force: <30k

    But sure, let’s glass them all. Especially the 86% that have no active involvement with what’s going on. You sound like a goddamn fool.

    Edit: let me cut off the horseshit collective punishment argument before you make it: you’re still cheering for your own class to be slaughtered


  • Here’s a fun fact, did you know that 65 other countries also have mandatory military service, including Iran? Being a class traitor by the law of the state doesn’t make you not proletariat.

    Abandoning massive chunks of workers based only on their place of birth or the bubble of propoganda they live in is the opposite of every reputable leftist ideology. If your empathy for the people crushed under the rubble of an apartment complex depends on the flag out front then just admit you’re a frothing nationalist and stop pretending.





  • By all means, I’ll take evidence that they’ve been hitting military targets. My issue is with people cheering videos like this lacking any of that evidence at all.

    And no, having a bunker doesn’t make a civilian population fair game. It’s the same thing as crowding people into internment camps while you level their neighborhood.


  • Comment sections have been absolutely fucked since this started. I’ve seen some reports that these are hitting military targets but apparently I should be cheering about rockets landing a few dozen meters from this apartment?

    I remember a video of an Israeli rocket hitting just outside a shop window in Yemen/Iran at a similar distance and people were balking that it could be hitting anything of strategic importance. Suddenly pictures of collapsed apartments and hospitals are fine because it’s the guys you don’t like?

    Apparently it’s a bad take for me to think civilians shouldn’t be bombed regardless of how much Zionist brainwashing they have. People talking about “they deserve it” and pointing to Isreal opinion polls showing 60% support X awful thing. Last time I checked, a rocket doesn’t take a survey before it explodes. So 4/10 people in that explosion deserve to die by association?

    You all make me sick, down vote away.
