Israel drops notes warning innocent civilians If I send you a letter telling you I'm going to burn your house down, I'm still an arsonist, and you're still homeless. I don't magically become a good guy and you don't magically stop being horribly victimized by my crimes just because I gave you a chance to not die in a fire. If we're really keeping with the analogy, though, I then also burned down the house of the friend you went to stay with and you still died. Whoopsie! But hey, at least I warned you about the first one, and that makes it okay. Devil_May_Cry posted... The vast majority of Israelis want peace and prosperity for Palestinians and everyone I (and pretty much everyone else speaking on the matter) have made it pretty clear that when I say "Israel" in this context, I'm speaking of the country in terms of its government and actions on a national scale. Most Israeli citizens do indeed not want to commit genocide, as can be said about most Jewish people worldwide. Israel as a country, however, is doing exactly that, and that's bad. Devil_May_Cry posted... For that last bit, I want you to know I reported you to our moderators who will most likely choose inaction because they do a terrible job. On the list of people that should be told to go fuck themselves, genocide supporters are pretty much right at the top of the list. If you've got a problem with that, consider not supporting genocide. Devil_May_Cry posted... anyone who doesnt toe the ideological far left line is a goose stepping Nazi amirite? No, but the people wearing swastikas are, and Trump's nationalistic and xenophobic rhetoric makes him exactly the sort of candidate they want to rally behind. Devil_May_Cry posted... Trump has numerous times condemned white supremacists. While continuing to court them and accept their support. Condemning them is largely a performative measure, given that I don't think even Trump could recover from publicly heiling Hitler (his cultists would stick with him, but he'd alienate too much of the general public to stand a chance). He doesn't necessarily agree with them, but they support him and he appreciates that because he appreciates anyone that strokes his massive, throbbing ego. Muscles posted... You could always vote 3rd party if you don't like Biden Voting third party is functionally identical to not voting, and thereby increases the chance of the person you want to vote against winning. Yes, if "everybody voted third party" that would change, but everybody isn't going to vote third party, not matter how much you want to cling to the idealistic fantasy that there's hope for a third party win. If you want electoral reform, you aren't going to make it happen at the ballot box. --- This is my signature.
