gu-gohan 04/25/24 9:44:00 AM #80 | Not voting for Biden is stupid, because it inevitably helps Trump to be elected again. Trump, a tyrant in every aspect!
People, who don't vote for Biden just because they disagree with him on one or two topics, are dumb, sorry. Trump will hurt the US, all democratic countries across the globe, and millions of people if he's being elected again. If you can't see what's at stake here, compromise, and vote for the 100x better option, I don't know what to say. --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |

SJP on my campus openly endorsed the oct 7 attackAnd that is exactly what I meant in my previous post. It's one thing - and totally legit and rightful! - to pray for Palestine civilians and condemn what Netanyahu and his regime is doing in Gaza. But it's not okay to delegitimize the terrorism on oct 7, to legitimize Hamas, or generally spread hate of Jews at the same time. But this stance can be seen from many participants of these pro-Palestine protest movements, unfortunately. I find that worrying. --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |

Being pro-Palestine is quite taboo in the US it seems.Personally, I think it would be good if people didn't constantly take simple pro or con stances, but instead stood up for generally valid principles. One of the biggest problems with such protest movements is that they can be influenced or even taken over by outside propagandists. What I mean is basically what the person below me wrote: emblem-man posted... You have outside people joining the protest with some really bad actual antisemitic language, and it's badly coloring the more peaceful protests which is unfortunate. I wish there was a stronger protest movement "for peace" or "against terror". Or at least more nuances movements like "against Netanyahu and his government" and at the same time "against hamas". Being "pro-Palestine" is not wrong per se, but among the people who participate on these movements there are unfortunately always some, who spread hatred of Jews or deny the State of Israel their right to exist. They undermine the protest movement and promote the conflict. Which is the opposite decent humans should aim for. The aim should be de-escalation and a holistic understanding of the conflict, not an increasingly one-sided intake of information. This only encourages radicalization. It is my observation, probably due to excessive usage of social media, that more and more people are unable to see and discuss about a conflict while trying to understand both sides (and the conflict as a whole). --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |

That aside, even though I'm all for stopping Netanyahu and his regime in Gaza, you can always see anti-semitic signs on these protest movements. It's a legitimate and important cause to stand for peace, don't get me wrong.

Because he doesn't care too much about the stock market and what so-called business analysts want him to do. There was an interview with him only few days ago where he said "At Swatch, we don't want to sell stocks, we want to sell watches". That's all you need to know about him. Selling affordable watches of decent quality has always been their main focus. It paid off and still does, because people have trust in Hayek and his way of handling the company. --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |

I'm man enough to admit to the 3rd optionThis is how I see it. Also there is a distinctive difference between "Israel" and "Israel's government". The path Netanyahu and his government chose to go is clearly wrong and should be condemned. However, forgetting about what Hamas did to innocent Israeli civilians as well as the historically difficult situation for jews on the Arabic peninsula should not be forgotten as well. Too many people, even on this site, are simplyfying this conflict and its complexity. It is absolutely human to feel sad for Palestine civilian casualties and it is absolutely right to condemn the way Netanyahu and his government acts. But it is not okay if it leads to general hate against "Israel" (the whole state) or jews, because there are also many innocents among them! It is a typical phenomenon of the internet, that people take a side and are either for or against something. But conflicts aren't always so easy to explain and solve. --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |
