There is no such thing as an illegal #boycott. In a consumer #economy like ours, the most powerful (and sometimes the only) act of protest that we can engage in is the withholding of our capital. You don’t like that? Stop p***ing off your consumer base.

@ryangrim.bsky.social : “The funniest part to me remains #Trumps fixation on the feelings of the pilots. They were so brave, they were so proud...”

Emily Jashinski: “Don’t you think that works w the public, tho…?”

“No, bc they’re fighter pilots, not 9yo playing soccer.”

Zionists get to police all language, including Arabic, for whatever makes them uncomfortable, and shut that s*** down. And for decades, they got away w it. No longer. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 🍉 F*** @Israel

You’re not allowed to say “#Zionist,” bc it’s #antisemitic. You can’t say #FreePalestine, bc it’s antisemitic. You can’t say “from the river to the sea…” bc it’s antisemitic. You can’t say #Intifada, bc it’s antisemitic. You can’t use the 🍉 emoji, bc it’s antisemitic.

If Cuomo won the primary, every elected Dem would quickly endorse him despite the corruption & sexual predation.

Dems refusing to quickly endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social - who has none of those scandals - is a tell about their priorities & who they answer to.

Who’s Afraid Of Zohran Mamdani?

The mayoral candidate defeated the master plan for the first time ever — and that’s prompted an elite panic about who gets to control political outcomes.

I see y’all racist asses @chriscuomo.bsky.social and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 27

It was only ever a slogan to use against Millenials and younger to have us give up any notion that change was possible. The moment a #progressive beats them at their own game, these hypocrites would rather see a #Republican in charge.

Bc they’re conservative in all but name.

I can’t wait until the General election in #NYC. The #VoteBlueNoMatterWho crowd hated me for not getting behind @kamalaharris.com Time to put your money where your mouth is. It’s time to put up your feelings and vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for the good of @democrats.org.

Let me make this clear: no one wins in a war against #Iran. No one. I can not emphasize enough that this is not Afghanistan. This is not Iraq. This is not Yemen. This is not Syria. To go to war with Iran is to declare war with the entire Middle East. We will not survive it.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

All the while, #Israel keeps taking more land, further inflaming tensions, but they don’t gaf, bc we’ll keep backing them. #SaudiArabia & #Turkey will be forced to turn against America, bc their people won’t stand for it.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

The only way to stave off this scenario is if America stays in there, as we did in #Iraq, massively indebting our country. Now the entire region is against us. Every day, we get more reports of dead US soldiers. Skirmishes with other countries are constant.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

Remember the history lesson. The people revolt, factions are created in a massive civil war. We have toppled the last bulwark against #ISIS, so of course they sweep in. #Iran becomes a failed state.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

So we “succeed.” Thousands dead US soldiers, thousands dead Israeli soldiers/civilians, hundreds of thousands dead Iranian soldiers/civilians. A power vacuum is created in a country of 92M people, and Israel/America installs the son of the late Shah as a puppet dictator.

I can easily imagine a situation where, in need for chips to manufacture more missiles, the govt starts confiscating iPhones and washing machines to collect requisite materials. Hear me now, quote me later.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

So, we enter the war. We are doing so with our weapon stockpiles massively depleted after the war in #Ukraine and the g*nocide in #Gaza. The materials we need to replenish our stockpile are monopolized by #China.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

The people of #Iran never forgave our coup. There is a deep, profound hatred of our country for what we stole from the Iranian people. Keep all of this in your back pocket—it matters.

This move thoroughly impoverishes the country. Pahlavi spends the next couple decades disappearing 10s of thousands of his own people. Tensions rise until 1979, when Ayatollah Khomeini topples the regime and institutes the #IRGC, today’s Islamic Republic.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

First, a tiny history lesson. In 1953, America overthrows democratically-elected Mossadegh after he threatens to nationalize the #AIOC, & replaces him with a tyrant in Reza Shah Pahlavi. #Pahlavi hands over their oil industry to Britain & America. It is known today as #BP

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 20

Ok, let’s play this out for the “best-case scenario” in going to war with #Iran, and by “best-case scenario,” I mean that this doesn’t just result in World War 3. A thread 🧵

That bloat creates an illusion: it tricks you into thinking the $80 price tag is justified, bc you spent 200 hrs playing it. You forget that the runtime was spent endlessly farming items and checkpoints. Maybe 40 of those hrs are quality.

Aaron Stewart 🌹 @asaelthefallen.bsky.social · Jun 15

We’re tired of developers like @ubisoft.com spending 10 years on a game that cost $200M, spread out thin across 1,000 vectors, all for a game that is mediocre at best and wasted player’s time with disjointed bloat.

We don’t need to know how complicated things are. Welcome to Capitalism. You make games for us to enjoy. If we don’t enjoy it, we don’t play it. If we demand something from you, it’s not on us to capitulate; it’s on you to meet the demands. Figure it out, & stop treating us as if we’re stupid.

Game developers blaming players for expecting too much of them sound like the Joe Biden admin regarding his economy. “Everything’s good actually. If you think otherwise, that’s just bc you don’t understand how good things are. Stop b***ing.”

I know it’s coming lol—libs have no convictions and the memory of a squirrel 😂 Y’all know who you are #Elon #Trump #TheGirlsAreFighting

Looking at you @h3-show.bsky.social.

Liberal #Zionism is more insidious than outright Zionism. They attempt to code the same racism and hatred under more decorous, liberal language. They redirect peoples’ righteous outrage concerning this g*nocide, and center themselves in the conversation exclusively. @mattlieb.bsky.social
