Exactly. This wasn't a protest as far as I'm concerned. They shut me out. So I no longer visit reddit or moderate any of my subreddits. It's that simple

So then why the euphemism? By "I think they went a teeny bit too far" do you mean this is an offensive war aimed at driving the Gazans into Egypt?

This is not a defensive action. This is not border security. This is not an anti-terrorism operation. Call it what it is: This is ethnic cleansing.

Respond with military force is not bombing the ever loving fuck out of the whole area, making almost all 2 million inhabitants homeless and causing a famine and water crisis. And there are examples of individual IDF atrocities just as well, such as shooting unarmed civilians waving a makeshift white flag. And we only learned about that one because they turned out to be Israeli civilians rather than subhuman Palestinian civilians

Again, nobody is saying Israel doesnt have a right to defend itself. It just doesn't have the right to kill indiscriminately, take people's homes, deny them basic human rights and level Gaza every couple of years.

Maybe it's because I blocked tankie shit, but I never see these comments. Do you have an example of straight up Hamas did nothing wrong or is this another example of criticism of Israel's ethnic cleansing being intentionally confused with antisemitism and terrorism apologia? Because I see that all the damn time

No, only people against the occupation and against the genocide currently happening in Gaza. Pro-zionists like to paint everyone critical of Israel's atrocities as terrorism supporters and as antisemites. But nobody is saying October 7th wasn't horrible. Nobody is saying rape isn't horrible. Resistance to this brutal occupation is always going to be nasty. The Palestinians have no peaceful means to resolve the conflict. That doesn't make terrorism OK but it was inevitable given how Israel is oppressing the Palestinians

Fuck around and find out. I'm so sorry for everyone who was duped by libertarians pretending they will do anything for regular people and not just the wealthy shareholders, everyone who was held back by economic sanctions in a war against 'muh socialism', and all those who saw the obvious coming but were dragged into it by the other rubes. This is going to suck. I hope the protests will work

Such a powerful article! Standing up for what's right, I would always invest in such a person if I had any say in it.

What the hell, no need to get hostile

But then they're not, are they? One is a supposedly civilized democracy and the other is brutally oppressed by the first. This "both sides" stuff is trying to ignore that one side hass all the power here to end the conflict and the other is just trying to survive. In such a situation you have to acknowledge that actions of Hamas and Palestinian are not completely free but a result of the situation Israel put them in. You can't blame Palestinians for resisting their genocide. Of course things get ugly, they know what's up

They are not the same even if there's bad guys on both sides. Israel is a rich state with an advanced military that tries to keep the other side in the relative stone age without any resources whatsoever. It is becoming clearer every day that this is meant to drive Gazans off of their own land, into Egypt or dead, doesn't matter

Bitte!

gestures broadly at US politics

Assange is a hero for uncovering heinous war crimes by the US. This is obviously a plot to destroy his reputation and get him extradited to a US court. All the Russia stuff people mention came well after he was unfairly persecuted for being a journalist.

Air crash reconstruction using flight simulator. No fluff, no unnecessary dramatization, no bullshit. Has been going due years and years with the exact same formula.

Simplicity is best. Thank you!

Confirmed. What a douche nozzle

For me, the defining characteristic of leftism is trying to achieve social equality through redistribution of wealth and power from those who have plenty to those who don't have enough.

Wow, relax

I know that, but the commenter asked a different question. Being gay was not relevant to them getting caught plagiarizing content.
