The day has barely started and that’s already three comments harassing users on a post about israel committing Genocide.
A lot of projection going on about bad faith arguments as usual.
Libs are just desperate to go back to brunch
Anyone bothering them about problems that are still happening are just there to ruin the mood
Well, it is the next holocaust, so it makes sense that people are discussing it at length. It’ll probably be one of the biggest topics future history lessons of this era will cover, which is saying something, considering how fucked up this era is.
Just look at the user’s post history if you actually want to understand what I’m saying
Think of how much people talk about 9/11, then realize that well over 10 times as many people have been murdered so far in Gaza. OP is doing everything they can to draw awareness to a tragedy - that’s a good thing.
Imagine if people had been more willing to call out the terrible practices of Nazi Germany, instead of just keeping their heads down and trying to convince themselves that it’s someone else’s problem that they have no need to concern themselves over.
You can scroll past these posts, or even block them I’ll bet. Stop complaining that the news of an ongoing genocide is insignificantly inconvenient for you and implying that it’s something everyone else should care about, it’s weird and embarrassing.
I guess you’re arguing in bad faith too. Sure you wanna miss an opportunity to claim that I love genocide?

Good. Palestine deserves attention.
Especially by those trying to influence the election in America, right?
I don’t need anyone else to lecture me about how I supposedly shouldn’t ever challenge this motherfucker. You all either actively ignore what they are doing or you agree with their accelerationism.
wtf are you talking about?
I don’t usually meddle in US politics (am from europe), but I endorse kamala over trump, obviously.
I am not saying that the palestinian genocide is bad and therefore we must stop voting for liberals; quite the opposite: We must vote for liberals because if trump wins, things won’t be ten times worse, they’ll be 1000 times worse.
If I’m following OPs logic, you can bomb a country for years, invade, take their people hostage, get attacked back, not surrender, don’t negotiate and prioritize PR above the lives of your people.
When the war is over what will they have gained?
are you talking about Israel or Hamas? because damn, it’s hard to differentiate between the two terrorist organizations.
That’s literally what they’re saying out loud now:
On being asked by Ahmad Tibi, one of the Arab MPs within the Israeli Knesset last week if it was legitimate “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum”, Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, responded: “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”
Well those definitely sound like the words of a person who would decey a warcrime or six /s
I think they would argue Hamas militants are unlawful combatants (they don’t follow laws of war) and the Geneva convection doesn’t apply.
I find it funny how if you are fighting someone that doesn’t follow the laws of war you can not follow them too but you are not in violation, they are!
Especially with how little damage Hamas has been able to do in comparison to the damage the IDF has caused Palestine for decades. Like, if a child hit an adult, no matter how “unlawful” it was, if the adult drop-kicked them into next week that’d be a huge problem. Now, the only people acting like children are in the Israeli government but you get the idea.
It’s basic fascist logic. Which as the GOP in the US has shown us, you don’t need to be fascist to use. “Our chosen enemy is both cowardly/weak and an existential threat at the same time.”
Eh, they aren’t quite there yet. There are definitely fascists in the party but I think the party as a whole is going to go more authoritarian theocracy. The difference being, if you play their religious game you might just avoid a concentration camp. Whereas in Fascism you are your label and that’s it. A few other big differences but mostly the same for the people on the ground.
This is the biggest hand-wring, semantic gargling I’ve ever seen. What is “authoritarian theology” but making a deity out of the control structure. Nazis used Jesus, too.
They’re facists. The fact they tried over turning the election on J6 with the fake electors proves it completely, they do not point to Jesus, they point to procedure. That’s what a fascist does. Making the Constitution into a religious text is some of the most fascist shit ever, they successfully bind the propaganda structure used to prop up the injustice to an emotional spiritual feeling of righteousness. Its fascism.
And how if you listen to russia, Ukraine is both a marionette of the West and a secret mastermind orchestrating the worldwide conspiracy
Which hilariously is also antisemitic while also accusing them of being Nazis.
the ends justify the means but what justifies the ends?
