lol if that’s your best rebuttal, a blatant false framing of context as if Hamas are these pleasant freedom fighters with no blood on their hands… Then you don’t have much. Tell me, have you even heard what they did on October 7th?
If you perceive Hamas as innocent freedom fighters then you’re naive and duped.
I’m no fan of Israel either. But don’t pretend Hamas wouldn’t do the same if they had the means, and hasn’t done terrible things to its own people.
So maybe I missed something but the report doesn’t make it really clear who is to blame for the mass graves or when they were made.
So at this point this could’ve been Hamas or Israel, right?
Agreed. Not a fan either, but I’m also not a fan of authoritarian states with draconian capital punishment.
Besides, screw banks.
Here’s a fascinating piece of what appears to be censorship or extremely selective transcribing from transcripts of yesterday’s press briefings. You won’t find this in the transcript of C-SPAN, or the WhiteHouse.gov transcript.
During the White House press briefing yesterday, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby remarked the following — note that’s in brackets was cut from the transcript:
REPORTER: THESE ARE VERBAL URGINGS, NOT COMMITMENTS.
MR. KIRBY: [I KNOW, YOU WANT US TO HANG SOME SORT OF CONDITION OVER THEIR NECK] WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE ISRAELIS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE AS PRECISE AS THEY CAN BE AND MORE AID IS GETTING IN AND WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE THAT APPROACH.
Yes, verbal conditions would be excellent. He claims the weapons are for defense, but they are clearly being used for disastrous offensive effect to civilians.

Starts around 15:15.
I just want a non-battery solution for solar. I’m sitting on panels I got a good price for but inverter shopping is kind of a nightmare.
Yes, that is called ethnic genocide. If he can’t convert them, he will eliminate them. He has no qualms about that.
At the same time, he is conscripting from ethnic minorities within domestic Russia above any other group first to be used as meat-grinders. Another action exemplifying clear genocidal intent.
Make no mistake: Putin would have no problem eliminating any Ukrainian who doesn’t bow. See Bucha. See the Mariupol Theater. Talk to a Ukrainian.
I must object to one point. Putin is absolutely driven by extreme racism. His right-hand man is Aleksandr Dugin after all. Putin would have no problem committing genocide. The only difference is that Ukrainians are a closer peer-enemy and can actually defend themselves from Russian barbarism. They actually have room to move civilians away from concentrated areas.
Yep. Israel will just investigate themselves and say whoopsies but the message couldn’t have been more clear.
They’re fucking evil.
Intentional or blatantly incompetent, it’s quite clear that Israel is using the same playbook as Putin when he strikes civilians in Ukraine.
Of the three people involved in Reddit’s creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit’s greater vision.
Swartz was a far better person.
After 10 years, approaching a million comment karma, and many sourced write-ups and copy pastas I got a fair amount. Probably 200 of a mixture of gold and the occasional platinum. This was concentrated in later years as I better understood reddit, and understood specific audiences more. I strove to give genuinely good information, too.
Unfortunately reddit’s admins are lazy, suck, and some subs’ moderators even worse (looking at r/news) and they screwed me. Their loss. I’ll find another platform to publish content, like here of course and elsewhere.
The exact same strategy has been and continues to be at play with election officials at every level of government. So many election workers have been harassed so much that especially in lieu of the pay and lack of security they don’t consider it worth it. So then naturally the nazis fill these spots.
Has there been any analysis on what impact Musk’s clear attempt to sabotage Twitter has on electorate engagement in elections?
Because here’s my thought: X is becoming a right-wing extremist echo-chamber. A safe space for bigotry. So while reasonable eyes leave, the mold festers largely unchecked.
So going to past elections, was Twitter a greater driver for turning out Democratic voters, or Republican ones? I am genuinely curious.
Wow I honestly thought she had passed away long ago.
Back on reddit I had tracked politically-motivated homicides (pretty close to all being right-wing) in a big write-up but I ran out of word count space and lost track of the sheer volume of shootings…
If you’re still with Republicans through all this, you’re either in the bottom 5th percentile in awareness, or you know Republicans are crooks and don’t care.
Being conservative is a bad thing. It’s an antiquated ideology that shows a lack of adaptation to progress. Quite literally stuck in old ways. What’s next, is the Earth still the center of the universe!? Lmao. These buffoons can’t even accept climate change or comprehend the science behind vaccinations. Too busy worrying about what people wish to identify as.
The conservative ideology is flatly useless and is incorrect on universally every policy position.
Did you know conservatives are statistically less-educated than the left? I guarantee the average lefty reads more. In fact I bet every other person in this thread is more well-read than you.
Oof.
Only a conservative would soapbox InDiViDuAl FrEeDuMB but simultaneously care so much about what other people call themselves, lmao.
Like, if someone says their name is John and you dislike the name John, do you rage and refuse to call them that? lol
Genuinely, is English not your native language? Because that’s quite clearly not what I said.
