The gleeful people are gleeful because the man is responsible for a genocide, and a painful death is the only measure of justice he'll get. "Parasocial" is a term for obsessively following twitch streamers, not seeking any sort of accountability for the most powerful person in the world.

Plenty of people are also rightfully upset at further proof that Democratic leadership lied to them, and lied to them in a way that threw a layup election to Republicans.

Calling someone a moron is not seriously criticizing them. It's impotent shouting, which is why it's tolerated.

And if we're going to get into the finer points of what domestic criticism is or isn't tolerated in China, we'll need some evidence.

you had one choice that wasn’t actively also trying to destroy your own country

If both parties are doing a genocide right now, how can you argue this is a bad thing?

From a global perspective, the U.S. empire can't end soon enough. It'll even be good for the U.S. if we manage to take all that money reserved for worldwide slaughter and build houses and pay for education with it. Unfortunately, none of that appears likely to happen unless the empire crashes and burns first. Whether we can make something better out of that is another question.

They just wanted to look good for their internet points.

A lot of the people who didn't vote for Kamala over Palestine have gone to protests, and many of those people have been arrested or worse. That's not even getting to the Palestinian Americans who have had family members killed by U.S. bombs.

Your vile ass is saying it's all internet shit to them while you vote for the people dropping those bombs.

She did say she would break from Biden in one key area

Less than a year ago he was the Democratic nominee for president. The fact that he was obviously unfit for the job is an indictment of all the Democrats who lied about his health for years.

This is very much relevant to the future of the Democratic Party, not a "gosh who cares"

Canada has a large diaspora of Ukrainian Nazi sympathizers. They famously gave a Ukrainian Nazi a standing ovation in parliament.

The accusation wasn't human rights abuses, the accusation was genocide.

The propaganda trick here is to throw out a henious story, completely fail to back it up with evidence, then gradually retreat to a far less damning accusation that's essentially impossible to disprove. The smear sticks with most people and you then see how much of the lie you can get away with depending on the crowd.

Russia wrote it for a reason. Think for a few seconds on why that might be.

Because NATO put a bunch of Nazis in its command structure and the U.S. has backed various fascists countless times in the last 80 years, so it would put the western alliance in an embarrassing spot.

That's like half of politics: trying to embarass your opponents into backing off various positions.

If everything is suspect, do you just not read any of it?

I love the leap from:

• He went on a cruise, and
• He thinks China is a decent country, to
• CHINA MUST HAVE BRIBED HIM WITH A CRUISE!!!!

It's as absurd as me posting about a new bike, posting that I like the Steelers, and then someone concluding that Mike Tomlin must be paying me under the table for positive press.

you won’t get censored for criticising the Government… I guess unless you are an American criticizing Israel (which is a newer thing, really.)

This is a pretty big "you won't get censored... unless you do."

And if we're inputting government censorship onto modding decisions by major social media -- which we absolutely should, as those companies are ran by a revolving door of politicos, all the owners openly play high-level politics, and the threat of regulation is ever-present -- there's all sorts of criticism of the U.S. government and its approved narratives that will get comments removed or accounts banned.

Every politician who supported this should face a Nuremberg-style tribunal.

Have to apply that thinking to Democrats, too. They were backing Israel unconditionally from the jump, and were so married to that support that it probably cost them the election.

a general safety net for all

Why shouldn't there be a safety net for all?

The existence of coins does not imply a capital-based society, in the same way the emergence of personal computers in the 70s does not mean the economy of the 70s was highly computerized.

Check out David Graeber's Debt: The First 5000 Years for some anthropology on how exchange worked in early societies. Trading currency for goods or services was the exception, not the rule.

this has gone way beyond anything that can be explained by political partisanship alone

I think you underestimate how strongly partisanship and loyalty to a leader can work. It's a smaller-scale version of "my country, right or wrong," or akin to booing the ref for a call against your team even when it's an obvious one.

Several? How big was your elementary school?

You're just repeating yourself. It's not any more convincing this time around.

You deserve everything you voted for Palestine to get.
