Voluntary departure from where? The international waters, from which they were kidnapped?

I actually loved this one, although the product placement was off the wall

bitter mystery

No, I think he's saying that it makes it more miserable and mysterious, but only for poor people, which he is not and therefore the status quo is good.

Jewish Voice for Peace

Per wikipedia (I know, but I don't think this kind of data is political enough to be subject to the NATOpedia treatment, it's originally from the census bureau), the median income for workers in the US in 2023 was 40,480 USD. That's 3373.33.

Yeah, they were just following orders

We aren't looking for communism

After WW2 when the whole country was experiencing a mass casualty event caused by Nazis (defined as members or supporters of the NSDAP and their political project, or anyone who materially supported them even if they later professed to be ideologically opposed to them, since I guess "what's a Nazi, exactly" is something you want to nitpick about), prisoner death rates were very high. Again, free civilian and soldiers' death rates were also very high. There was limited food and Nazis were killing everyone.

Once the Soviets had a few years of industrialized society during which nobody was trying to commit a genocide against them, death rates in prison plummeted. I reject the idea that "gulags" are different in a meaningful way from prisons as understood by most modern westerners.

Do counter revolutionaries deserve to be sent to

Which government are you aware of that doesn't imprison those actively working to overthrow their government?

This was my immediate thought also, whatever part of me that is making the decision already exists so this is the same question as "would you want to stop existing now?" the answer to which is an emphatic "no." I'd exist indefinitely given the choice.

I checked this dude out on notoriously Western aligned wikipedia and even they're admitting that he spent six years working for ISIS along with his al-Nusra and al-Qaeda "service."

The YouTube comments are all "oh finally a good moderate leader who will bring peace and democracy to Syria." Disgusting.

can see you have came here with your instance-issued portable public opinion influence brigade. will you bitch and moan again when you get defederated from another instance?

Look, I originally came in here to look at dunks on

We're not brigading just because we're all in agreement that someone calling for regime change in some of the only countries and organizations who are resisting a modern Holocaust is a bad person undeserving of respect. I just wanted to read some Elon Musk hate and you decided to talk about how the Arabs should have their leaders chosen by the enlightened white Westerners.

Love to see a Westerner demanding regime change in Arab countries and calling other people imperialists.

Didn't realize George W Bush was computer literate enough to use a reddit clone.

The United States is currently committing genocide against them. Why would they not describe the US as their enemy and the biggest evil in the world?

What kind of attitude do you think a resistance group should have to a political power that's committing genocide against them?

Kamala Harris is firmly committed to the extermination of the Palestinian people, she's not Captain Janeway. This is asinine.

I pretty much always go ibuprofen, but aspirin is fine.

I'm pretty sure acetaminophen is snake oil though (this is a joke but I can't recall ever having it resolve a headache for me like ibuprofen does).
