Yes. Rise of fascism is a massive deal. Yes, arguably factual too that he is the current head of the fascist movement in the US.

The Republican Party releasing a document outlining how they implement fascism in the US government is news.

But the article is still not news - new information - per se. It's an opinionated presentation of the news. I don't disagree with the opinion, I'd just like to see a separation of communities for news and for current event discussion with a focus on articles like this, less so news articles.

I saw this in a meme before I got to your photo. I think that's the highest commendation a photographer can receive, isn't it?

This isn't news. It's an opinion piece. Could we have opinion pieces in a different community to news articles?

Yeah, unfortunately I'm not surprised, just disappointed.

Is there any military as yet where we've trained professional killers that haven't gone beyond killing actual combatants?

Does that mean if I pick #9 twice I can run twice as fast as Albert Einstein?

That quote from Kashyap lacks the context to be sensibly included. The guys saying that it's the retailers fault for pricing the clothes too low - because the middlemen suppliers then can't afford to pay better.

But they're likely both just as culpable for slave wages, so...

I'm drunk and don't know what to believe.

Plastics.

You seem to be making points which don't apply to me.

Even the Russians had far greater precision than this when attacking Ukraine. ^^^[citation ^^^desperately ^^^needed]

... considering Russian doctrine is literally flatten the area with artillery, versus IDF precision airstrikes which the Russians were completely unable to do due to lack of air superiority let alone supremacy.

Carpet bombing is the complete and indiscriminate bombing of an area. I've seen no evidence of this. I have seen evidence - e.g. the above article as an excellent one - if precision bombing of multiple buildings across a wide area, whilst leaving neighbouring buildings relatively untouched.

I am not here to defend the IDF or the Israeli State, but using such obvious inaccuracies makes it an uphill struggle to appropriately criticise their real actions.

Your latter two points though I agree with broadly, though I don't doubt Hamas does attempt to stop civilians from leaving conflict zones.

Both Hamas and the Israeli State are responsible for propogating this mess and both continue to try to do so, whilst the world watches and argues about who is the most responsible / who deserves support. Neither side gives a flying fuck about Palestinian or Israeli innocents, at least above and beyond that where they serve the goal of optics and support for wiping out the other side.

Because I'm here to have constructive discussions? IDGAF about votes; I, unfortunately, give a fuck about having to deal with people like you and the above.

Oh, well I guess if someone else has already been evil before, being evil now must be okay then...

See, on one hand that seems like a good idea, but whilst people can have reprehensible views on one topic they might also have reasonable contributions for another.

And here I am fighting for my life every fucking night.

Everytime I read an article like this, my immediate reaction is posting a comment expressing my disgust with the Israeli State's actions and everytime I hesitate because I don't want to suffer the inevitable wave of people defending the Israeli State's actions as somehow justifiable because Hamas did something vile first.

It's a continuing cycle of violence and the Israeli State holds a humongous power advantage. They don't use that power disparity to deescalate and integrate the Palestinian people to prevent Hamas from having support. Instead they do shit like this where they drive Palestinians straight into Hamas' hands, because the Palestinian people are given no other option to turn to.

(Sorry.)

The joke is the dictator man looks like Winnie the Pooh (but more importantly is offended by it). The fact Winnie the Pooh is yellow is incidental but unfortunately makes the joke appetising to racists too. It doesn't mean everyone that jokes about Xi Jinping being Winnie the Pooh means everyone is using it as a racist stand-in.

Before someone points out that it started as a racist meme - if that is true (which I have no idea), it doesn't change much. Most people making the joke are oblivious to the racism element.

Now, it's a perfectly valid point to make about it being a racist charicature. The trouble is most people don't separate the nuance with "Criticise & laugh at the dictator man all you like, just please don't propogate a racist stereotype." and so instead it looks like they're just defending a dictator.

And... well, I don't really need to explain why people defending dictators are going to get ignored, do I?
