The reason your movement doesn’t get credibility is because you can’t recognize that massacring people because of their ethnicity (what Hamas did) is genocide. If you’re claiming that Hamas didn’t commit genocide while also claiming Israel has, that requires some serious mental gymnastics to reconcile. But you’re not even trying to reconcile the discrepancy in how you consider the the actions of Hamas vs. how you consider the actions of Israel. You feel like if you just shout loud enough, engage in harassment campaigns to intimidate people from discussing the topic, you can control the narrative.

And you can control the narrative in small corners of the internet like this. But then what? You support a violent movement that tortures people to silence dissent. Do you ever ask “are we the baddies?” or do you continue down the dark path without questioning anything?

Seems a lot of people here don’t want the war to be over.

Ya know you could get together with your activist friends and be happy? You don’t actually need to meet each over a shared hatred of people.

1200 are not alive, they were massacred in a genocidal act by Hamas.

I think it’s one of those perfect is the enemy of good kinds of situations. Go further is more complicated and requires more consideration and more analysis of consequences, etc. and that can take some time. But this is kinda no-brainer kind of legislation so pass this now while making the considerations on some more robust legislation to pass later.

Netanyahu is an incompetent idiot and I hope he’s removed from power in the next election.

Hamas are psychopaths that torture Palestinians for speaking out against them and prevent elections from happening. They’re genocidal fascists and are the biggest obstacle preventing the Palestinian people from being free. And you’re an apologist for them because you look the other way on their genocidal actions and look the other way on their oppression of Palestinians.

Yeah and the rest of us are learning too. Look at the recent elections in Canada, Australia, Finland, etc. MAGA style politics were soundly rejected.

Goofy Americans LOL. But you can still have a sense of pride over influencing the world (that seems important to you) but as a cautionary tale that no one wants for their own country.

Even better: I’m going to write my PhD thesis on this one!

“Hey Batman, I have Bruce Wayne on the other line, he’s got some information, you should talk to him.”

Yes, this is a scene that actually did happen in the Adam West Batman show.

In the movie The Dark Knight, Gordon says Batman often doesn’t show up when the bat signal is on, he mostly turns it on to to remind criminals that Batman is out there.

In the comic The Dark Knight Returns, Gordon says there’s about a dozen different ways Gordon could contact Batman, but he uses the Bat Signal for similar reasons.

So it’s mostly just for theatrics, if it were a real emergency Gordon would phone up Batman. But I guess it’s a way to indicate to Batman “let’s talk whenever you’re not busy”.

As we saw on October 7, the capacity for Hamas to commit genocide wasn’t limited by their intent, it’s only limited by their capability. If there were 1400 people in the villages on that day, there would be 1400 dead instead of 1200. If they had the capability of killing a million Jews they would.

And you would make excuses for their actions because you’re a genocide apologist. The whataboutism started the day after Hamas massacred villages, and it came from the actual genocide apologists who were conditioned for more than a decade to look the other way on any horrible action committed by Hamas.

Hamas is a fascist organization by every definition, so are you saying it’s wrong to stop fighting until they’re destroyed? That’s the view of many in power in Israel.

I think many people are angry about the Nobel Peace Prize because they’re actually against there being peace.

Yes, states end up authoritarian when the people give up on democracy. You seem to be using this as an argument to encourage people to give up, but that’s just self fulfilling prophecy.

You could do this (there are websites you can find easily) but Pelosi isn’t in power anymore and wouldn’t be in the loop on Trump’s corruption which is way more significant than just knowing which company the government is going to award a big procurement contract to or whatever.

The Trump corruption seems to have gone with crypto shenanigans and you can’t track them. We just know that someone made >$100M by doing crypto shorts exactly one minute before Trump posted about more insane tarrifs on China, but there’s no way to know who did that and we can’t track them. They’ll probably make similar amounts of money on the inevitable TACO.

But they aren’t choosing renewables, they’re choosing coal. People are responsible for the choices they make.

Even Albertans know they gotta build some pipelines because the US is going down the tubes. Still not with it enough to understand O&G is a dead end, but it’s obvious to even them there’s no future selling anything to the US.

Fuck that, I’m already buying nothing from the US, and I’m not the only one. Every time I go to the grocery store there’s fewer US products (because people aren’t buying them) and more products from Canada and elsewhere. Sure there will be an economic impact on Canada if the US collapses, but we’ll still have food and a functional country so we can adapt. We know the direction the US is going even if you don’t and we aren’t going to be pulled down into being a shithole country like the US is becoming.

Russia is on the ropes right now, and the US doesn’t have a good track record with occupying countries and can’t even keep it’s government running right now LOL. Hegseth wants to turn the US military into being more like ICE and cowards like that would shit themselves before they even got close to actual combat.

Your country is falling apart, everyone in the world knows it and is already figuring out how things will work after the US collapses, because you’re the only “goofys” that would go from being the richest country on the the planet to complete collapse because y’all got suckered by a shady real estate conman twice.

Yeah I’ve been thinking this for awhile. The US isn’t all that dissimilar to the Soviet Union was just before it collapsed. When people start thinking their ideology will magically solve a nation’s problems instead of having skilled people working on those problems, that’s not a country that can function for very long.

You never know, the US could turn things around. But right now it seems to be running on fumes. There’s still people working in government in agencies that were formed when the government was run by somewhat competent people, so they’re keeping the lights on. But if these ideological purges (not to mention general malaise) continue, there won’t be enough to keep the lights on.

Yes the path to peace is to demand that everyone to hate your enemy as much as you do.

Why not blame both?

Given what Peter Thiel’s been talking about lately, that’s not all that far fetched.
