Yes, I am proudly biased against groups that commit genocide before our eyes and deny it, dispossess indigenous peoples of their ancestral homes and turn them into refugees in foreign lands, along with fascist ideologies which call for the establishment and maintenance of an ethnostate and sheepishly justify Nazi collaboration and ethnic cleansing as a means to that end. Stay as mad at that as you like and have the day you deserve.
Your aljazeera source with hamas sourced numbers is the misinfo.
Hamas is not only its armed wing. It is the entire government in Gaza. Its numbers have historically been considered reliable by the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Human Rights Watch. In relation to the Gaza war, two letters published in The Lancet journal did not find evidence of inflation or fabrication of Palestinian casualty numbers. There is no reason to cast doubt on their estimates than to deny that Israel is committing a genocide.
Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East.
The Henry Jackson Society is a trans-Atlantic foreign policy and national security think tank, based in the United Kingdom. While describing itself as non- partisan, its outlook has been described variously as right-wing, neoliberal, and neoconservative.
This is your source?? A fucking British soldier that has made a living occupying Ireland and running around shooting at Arabs??? Writing at the behest of a right wing think tank???
The rest of this is racist Zionist slop that I shouldn’t even justify with a response, because even if it was a completely honest portrayal it would not justify genocide, but to start; Palestinians cannot be held responsible for actions that other arab nations took after 1948 (in response to the horrific acts committed during the nakba, but that nonetheless does not justify it) or the antisemitism that was in large part purposefully fomented in those nations by Israel to advance the Zionist mission. The intention of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine has been made clear since Zionism first emerged in the late 19th century. The mass transfer of Jews to historic palestine and the ensuing displacement of Palestinians started before even 1933, which is when the Haavara agreement was signed between Nazis and Zionist collaborators. It has never been about “self defense” and that is a fucking shameful way to justify the violent expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their home land.
You have an agenda and no amount of logic will ever change it.
Back at you.
Get the fuck out of here you disgusting fucking Zionist.
The Communist Party of Cuba
Name one benevolent regime the US has supported.
We really are not beating the dead internet allegations with this one
The comment they were responding to there was literally calling them on it
some bombing or shooting or human rights abuse next week will shoves it down the memory hole for good.
Next week? Try last night in DC. I’m doubting this will even register tbh
Is it a false equivalence
To compare trying to live and work as a trans person in a world that is hostile to people who are trans, to making the dangerous choice to fly to a genocidal apartheid state as an airline pilot in a world where pilots are highly compensated and in demand? Yes, it very much is.
You can always refuse to fly to Israel :)
Aliexpress will usually display the lowest price out of all the options under a listing. It’ll show the wrong picture for it though. So, say you’re searching for a 32oz pitcher and there’s a listing with options that go from 64oz down to 8oz. It’ll display the picture for the one you’re searching for but since the price for the smaller one is lower, it’ll show you that price to get you to click. Or if you’re looking for a mop with a bucket but the listing also has replacement pads under it for the mop, you can get the picture of the mop with the price for the pads. The prices for the individual options stays firm though (within reason, let’s say a single day of browsing).
Lol. I’m talking about the party as a whole. The ones you speak of that use their power to put down revolution and progressive candidates like Bernie alike, but appear “powerless” to do anything else like “stop fascism”. What interest does that party have in stopping fascism?
See, it’s not a dynamic where they are all-powerful in one aspect and powerless in another. It’s that their interests are very heavily weighted to the first aspect, and that informs their behavior.
So tell me, why should they care? Why should they go out of their way? They won’t be the ones directly affected and in fact it’s a great campaign tool if their opponent is openly fascist. Not to mention the money being made off of it. If they get accused of allowing fascism to take root they can just say they were powerless to stop it, and you fuckers will believe them. Tell me how this isn’t a net positive for anybody, without an identity that lands them or their loved ones directly in the crosshairs (i.e. the vast majority), that has a ruling class position in society?
What legitimate personal interest do establishment democrats have in stopping fascism?
Can we stop saying this? This might have been the case 10 years ago when conventional bulbs were the better established headlight standard but they’re coming off the line like this these days. It has nothing to do with the housing and everything to do with the height they sit at, where they’re aimed, and the brightness.
I’m really sorry you feel that way, genuinely, but this deeply antisocial sentiment is not a depiction of a reality that is compatible with human life. Please seek help from a qualified professional. I mean that.
I disagree strongly and I don’t think you get what I’m saying. It’s not a competition and there’s no need to dismiss the feelings of one side or the other. If you are a man, and especially if you are occupied by a specific focus on men, you cannot know the extent of women’s loneliness or the impact that it has on women. The same goes vice versa. The issue is too nebulous, too subjective and complexly intertwined with too many different aspects of our lives as humans. It’s a fool’s errand.
It doesn’t matter who has it harder, because the root cause is the same. Addressing this root cause will help every person experiencing loneliness in the modern age regardless of gender. Any other solution is just treating the symptoms and will inevitably result in people being left out and marginalized. People who matter. It will inevitably result in division, which hurts our ability to unite and fight for a common cause.
This stoking of a needless war between the genders is a counter-revolutionary tactic employed by the ruling class to keep us fighting amongst ourselves instead of challenging their power. They want us focused on pushing forward half-measures; measures that can be easily struck down, agitated against, that will keep us going in circles; measures that do not fundamentally challenge the systems that created these issues in the first place and, in fact, depend on the persistence of these issues.
I don’t think the loneliness epidemic is uniquely male though. It’s an affliction of this entire generation. There is a specific subset of men that have been radicalized against women as a scapegoat for the loneliness they feel, but the true cause is increasing social alienation driven by capitalism. The specific mechanism not being limited to the commodification of our attention that has been enabled by the advent of high speed internet.
So you understand that the Democrats willfully lost the election by supporting genocide; that that was the choice they made as a party, and the voters’ response to that decision was a very predictable one; but you still have energy to debate anyone who would dare to criticize and take the same principled position against them?
Doesnt mean I want to bring genocide home.
Oh, I see. It’s okay as long as it’s over there. Well then Trump’s genocide should be fine because you didn’t immigrate over the southern border. Resistance is not necessary, go home everybody. Everything will be fine as long as we all make sure to vote as hard as we can!!
It will never not be funny that these people care so much about fake internet points, and think other people care about those internet points enough to ??? follow them around and downvote them?? Downvote lots of comments at once?? In a way that is somehow different from normal browsing behavior??
Like they’re not even tallied here like they are in the bad place, I genuinely don’t get it. Please drop the word bRiGaDiNg from your lexicon, I promise that absolutely nothing will change except you’ll be slightly less online and much better off for it. Sometimes you will get downvoted, and that’s okay. The world is not out to get you, even if it has a scary .ml next to its name and practices obscure forms of witchcraft like dialectical materialism.
