Speaking of amendments, is the current level of political polarization something that will make any attempt at amendment creation impossible in the future?

Like the Constitution has a method for amendments to be introduced and created but I'm convinced we will not see an amendment for another half century at least.
I received a hot flash premonition of a Trans Rights amendment, which fails and convinces all the talking heads to go "Democracy no longer works. We can't even pass amendments anymore."
 
we all know that hamas exists to be a thin veneer to reframe a genocide as an armed conflict so i'm just going to assume that hezbollah is probably just the same thing but for a different set of unruly and dangerous neighbors
Let's be honest here, Hezbollah is just lebanon's military. No one wants to admit this, that's exactly what it is, and how it functions. They can do things and lebanon (and iran) have plausible deniability.

Meanwhile Digital ID Internet will almost always pass without fail, mark my words. I won't say 100% but 99% is kind of close.

The only laws that pass before the cusp of a genocide are the ones that maximize the death toll.

Well there are things all of the heads of the uniparty hydra agree on, like taking away your online privacy in the name of "protecting children" and preventing laws that restrict voting to American citizens only. Good amendments people actually want though? Not happening in this lifetime.
 
Violent Hindu Supremacist music encouraging the murder of beef eaters is being promoted on social media while any content criticizing India gets pulled for being racist.

Globohomo is working with the Hindu Supremacists to force us to stop eating beef and accept infinity jeets into our countries. Don't let them win.

Yogi Adityanath's face fills the screen before a single lyric is sung. The Hindu monk-turned-politician, who governs India's most populous state, is pictured as dramatic music swells beneath images of cows, saffron flags and Hindu nationalist iconography. Then comes the threat.

In "Gau Mata" ("Mother Cow") posted on YouTube, singer Biru Kataria warns India's Muslims that anyone who slaughters a cow will be hunted down, burned alive and cut to pieces. The song repeatedly uses the slur "katwein," a derogatory reference to circumcision, to describe Muslims.

Adityanath is among the most recognizable faces of India's Hindu nationalist movement. He has championed aggressive cow-protection policies as cow vigilantism, where mobs attack people they accuse of slaughtering cows, considered sacred by Hindus, has been linked to the killings and lynchings of dozens of Muslims. Today, multiple versions of this track remain available on YouTube, and it has been used to create more than 40,000 Instagram reels.

In India, music engineered to dehumanize religious minorities reaches hundreds of millions of listeners, delivered by big tech companies across popular social media platforms. Known as Hindutva pop, or H-Pop, the genre is rooted in Hindu nationalist ideology, a far-right supremacist belief that India is fundamentally a Hindu nation whose culture, politics and public life should be defined by its Hindu majority. Across hundreds of songs, India's Muslims and Christians are portrayed as enemies, invaders, traitors, demographic threats and legitimate targets of violence.

A new report by the Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH), a Washington-based research organization, argues that this ecosystem of hate music is being hosted, amplified and monetized by four of the world's largest digital platforms: YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and Meta

Few things are as constant in the United States as amendments being nearly impossible to pass and the planter class being fabulously wealthy.
 
Good. That's not a protest, that's vandalism at best. And this is peak tourism season in DC so they basically ruined a national monument out of sheer partisan spite. I don't give a hoot in hell if it was 14 million wasted, which is a drop in the bucket everything considered. You simply cannot put a price on the memories and shared experiences of seeing Washington D.C.

Why are cows sacred but ecocide is acceptable? I'm not referring to the Green Party meme version of the term, I mean most of India will never be habitable by humans or animals again.

No, in this case the Jew is (kind of) right. Hezbollah really was founded as an arm of the Iranian Islamic Revolution and doesn't believe in the existence of Lebanon (or any other country really), its ultimate goal - shared with the Islamist hardliners in Tehran - is to ultimately delete all borders & sublimate all countries into a single Islamic Ummah governed by a theocracy of mullahs until the Mahdi comes back, like a sandnigger version of 17th century Catholicism basically. This was stated by no less than Hassan Nasrallah, founder & former big kahuna of Hezb (until the Jews killed him) himself, and his masters in Tehran were similarly contemptuous of authentic Persian culture.




The actual Lebanese Army is separate and opposed to Hezbollah, Lebanon's current president is a Christian general from said army and he's the guy basically letting the Jews bomb his country in the hopes that they'll hurt Hezbollah more than actual Lebanese. Hezbollah is famously brutally oppressive to non-Shiites as well, they were among some of Assad's deadliest fighters in the Syrian Civil War and responsible for quite a few massacres & rape squads in Sunni rebel areas in the last decade (if you're wondering why Syrian Sunnis fucking hate Shiites/Alawites and are prone to actually doing to them what Jewspergs only talk about doing to Jews, this is why; I would bet a dime that the vast majority of the Islamist fighters in AJ's army are motivated more-so by these fairly recent Shiite war crimes against their people than by any arcane historical/theological arguments).

Hezbollah does treat Lebanese Christians with a slightly lighter hand than they do the 'heretic' Sunnis for PR purposes but make no mistake, they're also responsible for Lebanon no longer being a Christian country in the first place (they took power by defeating the Christians with help from Iran & Assad Sr. in the original civil war) and in practice they regularly seize Maronite lands, harass the Maronite Patriarch for criticizing them, assassinate Christians who get too uppity and refuse to be their dhimmis, etc.

Frankly I don't care overmuch for either the kikes or the ragheads, but I do want Lebanese Christians to take their country back and right now, there doesn't seem to be any way for them to do that without the Jews softening Hezbollah up massively first. And yes, in the interest of honesty I can fully admit that's even in spite of kikes being kikes re: Christian religious monuments or even accidentally blowing up anti-Hezbollah Christians (that's already happened). It's a tough fucking neighborhood and I understand & do not envy how the Lebanese Christians have no good options there, just bad & way worse, but they seem to have a pretty clear idea of which is which: the only polling that's been done in this regard suggests 92% of Lebanese Christians want Hezbollah disarmed.

Great point.

India is such a backwards ass place, its not really fit to call it a civilization in its current form, that its hard to answer your question. My guess is its ok in pajeets minds because they are an extremely narcissistic and retarded population.

And I still maintain that Hindu Supremacists are spreading Alpha Gal in North America (turns out its spreading in Mexico and Canada too) as part of their delusional mission to get people to stop eating beef. Eat some beef today to spite them.

The anomalies of West Coast counties having Alpha Gal outbreaks coinciding with Hindu population growth is no coincidence.

That is a feature, not a bug. While you can't make good amendments, you can't make bad ones either

This is 100% wrong and the current government of Lebanon and the populace have wanted them out for a while. They just haven't had the muscle to do anything about it until relatively recently so it was suicidal.

The largest turning points in recent years were the Beirut port explosion (which was related to Hezbollah's logistics, leveled a huge chunk of the city, and Hezbollah obstructed the investigation), and the Lebanese economic collapse also pissed people off because Hezbollah is funded by Iran and was isolated from this.

The single largest reason people are pissed is Hezbollah attacking Israel after Oct 7 and causing ordinary people who had nothing to do with it endless amounts of trouble in displacement, infrastructure destruction, death, etc. People blame Hezbollah for this and not ~da jooooooos~, rightly figuring that if Hezbollah hadn't taken a swing nothing would have happened.

That's true. Congressional gridlock was a design choice to an extent. I guess I'm just always amazed how many amendments got ratified in the 20th century compared to none in the 21st. Not a comment on the quality of those amendments because there's a plethora of very bad ones. And one so bad it got overwritten a bit more than a decade later.
