  • Unfortunately the people making that call are largely people that are on that list or closely connected to people that are.

  • I think this is, in large part, one of the reasons many of these authoritarian types get out of control.

    On some level they know whether or not they consider their actions to be illegal that other people will. At some point they anticipate blowback and a lot of their flailing overreach stems directly from trying to get out ahead of any consequences that may come their way.

  • That would be pretty damning in its own right, right? What is this dude even trying to argue?

    It seems like concern trolling. "I'm just worried that people will interpret you hating on this genocidal military as if it's exactly the same thing as calling for the death of an ethnic group because only that ethnic group is allowed to participate in this genocidal military!"

    It's such a bizarre argument

  • Most of the traffic from 4chan was from Israel.

    No one in this thread has called for genocide.

    The IDF is a criminal terrorist organization. Participation in it is morally reprehensible. If in order to have a good life you have to murder children standing in bread lines then your idea of a good life is not worth preserving.

  • It's not hate speech to hate the military of a genocidal apartheid state.

    The fact that the military of that state uses conscription to smear shit on everybody who grows up there does not absolve the population from their moral obligation to oppose their government.

    Just following orders is a really poor excuse for genocide. You can hate the IDF without calling for genocide. In fact I haven't heard anybody call for genocide in any of these threads except for people supporting the IDF.

  • But they aren't saying death to Israelis when saying death to the IDF. You have to understand the difference between wishing for genocide upon a group of people and wishing for the end of an institution that does nothing but harm and bad.

    It's also worth noting that the only right thing to do for a member of the IDF is to fight the IDF.

    They are morally obligated to tear down the infrastructure of genocide that they are a part of. The only good IDF soldier is the one who is working in earnest to oppose the IDF. All of the rest of them are cowardly garbage human beings who should probably go to the Hague.

    A tremendous number of them probably should be hung until death and then buried at sea with no ceremony. People who do what they do should have even their memories killed.

  • My ideal Duke nukem plot would basically just be some hypermasculine caricature that starts a normal day and is faced with increasingly insane excuses for ultraviolence at which he performs exceedingly well.

    He's not scared, He's not bored, He's not brooding, He's having a fucking day, and he's all out of bubble gum.

    Despite the ever-increasing Gore and violence he never has to say or do anything problematic, just fucking brutally uncompromisingly violence against people that super duper obviously need it.

    Comical masculinity instead of toxic masculinity. Nothing even needs to change about his character.

  • I've seen two this year.

    I've seen More bald eagles land in the yard year than I have seen lightning bugs.

  • I worked at a dental lab once and we had a patient who The doctor said wanted bigger teeth.

    Having made teeth for a while, this was a first for everyone in the lab. At some point teeth don't get much bigger. At some point the amount of metal and porcelain were putting into the mouth of this 82-year-old woman is a substantial weight of material not to mention its volume.

    When one doctor refused to make any bigger teeth she went to other doctors who required her to pay up front. We got this lady's case back a dozen times.

    We've remade this thing from scratch at her expense and she looked downright cartoonish every time we'd get photos back.

    The frame for her full arch mandibular implant retained PFM was the single largest cast of gold alloy anyone in the entire lab had ever poured or seen poured for dental work.

    Some people have money and they're addicted to the process. I can't think of any other reason for this lady to have done that.

  • 1994 a service called e world.

    It was a funny little thing, My 2800 baud modem brought me tons of adventures and gave me a place to share D&D ideas with others.

  • It's already not legal for ICE to hide their face and ID.

    Laws are for poors, queers and browns, not for the red white and blue blooded American patriots

  • I'm hoping for regime change in Israel too. Really I wish the leadership of both of them to expire in their entirety.

    The IDF is turning the civilian population into human shields. Here is to hoping the Israelis can find some shred humanity or responsibility and overthrow their genocidal government before they can expand their aggression even further.

  • Mass tourism is only a problem if you aren't in the business of catering to tourists.

    Seems like the actual problem is wages, staffing, and working conditions. The problem is greed at the top. Big fucking surprise.

  • Hopefully the ones that cooperate will eventually face the Hague. We hung a lot of Nazis for just following orders. The IDF should get no special treatment.

  • Are you serious?

    They can't voice their opinion.

    If they voice their opinion they get kicked out Even faster, but only after they've been put into a holding cell for days to weeks to months and maybe left to die of exposure for the crime of checks notes exercising the first amendment...

    People in America are being thrown into a gulag with no hope for release to work as slave labor until they die in a foreign country.

    There's no silver lining here. We are becoming more like China. It's not a good thing.

  • A friend of mine noticed that a police car was coming up fast behind us so he told our friend with a joint to get rid of it. The police car had its lights flashing and though we were going probably 60 or 70 it was easily going 80 or 90.

    The friend flicked it right out the window, and to my great horror it went right in the window of the cop car as it sailed by us. We could see it bounce into the back window like a hammer striking iron, The cab lit up brighter than I thought a single joint would shine against the glare of the cherries and berries.

    We immediately got off the highway, took the first few turns we could and then parked in a driveway with all the lights off.

    Two police cars drove down the street behind us with lights flashing but no sirens while we hunkered down trying to avoid being seen. We just kind of hid there for probably 40 minutes until we stop seeing police lights.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    I'm looking for recommendations for media with subversive themes that might be the target of censorship in the coming months.
