Yes I was being sarcastic, and I should’ve made that clearer. I know of no other way of dealing with the smug sanctimonious attitude of those in rich peaceful countries demanding that the oppressed turn the other cheek because “violence bad”. It’s this bizarre combination of smugness, ignorance of history, and effective advocacy in favor of the oppressor that I really, really, cannot stand.

I’m a simple man; I see slop, I press the down arrow and block the poster.

This is silly. Everyone knows, historically, you stop opressors by asking nicely. Maybe go into the street in a funny costume or something, organize a singalong. Violence is what the baddies do.

Famously, the human rights gained by movements using violent tactics, such as the abolitionists, suffragettes, the civil rights movement, the ANC, were all very short-lived. Hollow victories, all.

Many of these folks are people that lost their plantation or were no longer allowed to be landlords because of communism. I feel like they have an inkling what communism is about. If all you are is a parasite, and communism weeds you out, you’re right to dislike communism, and the rest of the world is right to dislike you.

In principle platforms should verify government entities, given sufficent documentation

Why?

That is indeed possible. But it happens not to be both.

Ironically, the people who talk about Linux and veganism at inappropriate times the most are folks making this exact joke.

There’s children, there’s folks who refuse service. So I would venture to say that there are some people in Israel who are innocent. Of course, anyone who served in the military is not on that list.

Conscientious objectors are a thing. There are consequences to objecting, of course. Maybe it makes you a pariah in the settler colonial apartheid ethnostate of Israel, but just fucking move, you’re not supposed to be there anyway. Maybe you cannot move out of Israel, and you’ll be flipping burgers for the rest of your life or whatever. But you know what? Murdering a child to save your own career still makes you the bad guy. Helping others murder children to save your own career still makes you the bad guy.

But even beyond that, it’s not like these folks are going to gaza with a gun pointed to their head. Most of the population supports the government’s genocide of Palestinians, as polls show. There are very few innocents in Israel.

*genocide

If anyone’s having thoughts like this; it’s completely normal. Rest assured, I have thoughts like this multiple times a day, and I don’t even have a newborn.

It’s a drink actually

I mean, I really cannot think of anything worse as a symbol than a skull

To see people behaving greedily under capitalism and conclude greed is human nature is the same as to see people drowning in the ocean and conclude drowning is human nature.

The netherlands is sending *troop. One guy.

Now do one on twinkies!

I guarantee you they will “closely monitor the situation”.

Yeah, and destabilizing regions with brown people in them is a very effective way of doing that, hence my confusion.

This reads like Poland saying, “if Germany invades, the axis powers should defend us”.
