They keep doing monstrous things and it makes them look like monsters?

Maybe stop doing those monstrous things.

Israel isn’t looking to give up its mantle as the crybully champion of the world any time soon.

If justifiable self-defence by Israel looks like 40,972+ dead Palestinians (mostly civilians as we know) in response to 1,478 dead Israelis, what would justifiable Palestinian self-defence look like? I’ll remind you that as a current or former member of the IDF, every Israeli adult is an enemy combatant.

My understanding is that it’s difficult to prevent kids from dying when you bomb every school, children’s hospital, aid center, and potential Palestinian you see.

Maybe ease up on the genocide and warcrimes rather than crying there’s nothing you can do as you gleefully kill tens of thousands of people in a population that’s mostly children as you scream that they’re animals and you want a second bigger Amalek. Maybe don’t enforce an apartheid ethnostate, maybe don’t seize peoples’ land at gunpoint. Maybe as the global center of Judaism, you should showcase Jewish values rather than missile striking 4 day old newborns.

Police unions - what could possibly go wrong when the members of the arm of state power collectivise to exercise their collective power. The example you’ve selected speaks volumes about your sincerity and/or familiarity with the subject.

Similarly, unchecked power wielded by divine mandate that never had an interest in structural checks. We couldn’t possibly bake such checks into a more democratic, less hierarchical governmental and economic system.

You want to shit on the concept of democracy while you’re at it because of the current state of the US, champ?

There have been direct actions recently - they get subjected to media blackout. If you want to shift public sentiment, you need eyeballs - they get eyeballs, and while responses are obviously mixed, they lean positive over time.

To be fair, liberalism, while far better isn’t remotely close to being an adequate solution, but we all need to kick the can down the road by picking whatever least bad option is available to us.

They did it because they want to genocide Palestine - this only creates a bunch of people with justifiable hatred of Israel and nothing to lose.

If they wanted to be safer, they wouldn’t have funded Hamas’ displacement of the secular moderates, gleefully committed and publicised thousands of warcrimes, established an ethnostate, conducted decades of land grabs, or scream maniacally about a second, bigger Amalek.

You mean the one that helps you unfuck things… after the OS has started having issues again.

I’ve tried arch (and preferred Endeavour), but found both needed too much attention - If you consider “operating system” a hobby, they’re perfect - the versatility is endless if you invest the time.

Personally, I want my OS to get out of the way and let me do what I want.

I cast arms embargo, ICJ and ICC…

And the banks. Incrementally easing into the housing market, and shifting company ownership to the workers sounds like a good idea - can’t have all the profits from workers’ labour being handed to lazy welfare queen shareholders.

Is “it works” the average experience of an Arch user?

Edit: Folks, I know it wasn’t clear, but this was rhetorical. I love the passion that motivates all of you to share your personal experiences - it’s what keeps Linux moving forward… But you beautiful bastards need to chill.

B-b-but this is intimidation - she’s taking off the earrings to fight a frail old perfect specimen of a man.

<something something nasty black woman>

<blah-blah I NEED TO KNOW WHAT RACE SHE IS!>

<white noise you know what we used to do with women like this back in my day, folks>

<Macarthayism>

<Nazism>

You can’t seriously expect them to track every school, children’s hospital, aid center and shelter they bomb, can you? They ask look the same after a while… Blood-stained rubble and twisted rear. They’ve got 4 day old Hamas newborns to genocide - priorities, people.

Absolute fucking demons, and living in a country whose government supports Israel (though I don’t think my country is arming them) is sickening.

Calling them liars is accrate, but kind of buries the brazenly genocidal lede.

Throwing enough money at a company to bail out out because they couldn’t manage themselves, getting nothing in return, and begging them to pwiddy pweeease not do it again rather than taking control of that strategic asset, and deleting its management is some impressive cuckoldry.

The barely perceptible little smile to herself and peek at his reaction was pretty amusing too.

I saw Kamala’s interviews from a couple of years back and thought she had negative charisma. She’s not the nominee I want, but I’m so encouraged to see that there’s no disputing that she’s absolutely killing it.

You know what - I’m beginning to wonder if the conspiract cranks might have a point… Have you ever seen them in the same room as reality?

Curious…

…how many years ago was it when “facts don’t care about your feelings” was their thing?

Their facts were nonsense, of course, but they at least tried. The lazy, obvious bullshit that 1/3 of the population immediately adopt as their whole identity now is genuinely depressing.

Because the lack of privacy is the point?

It’s trivially easy to stoke that kind of fear and hate, manufacturing a loyal voter base that won’t look too closely at your policies, so the wealthy beneficiaries of GOP policy throw money at the narrative, the GOP runs with it, and suddenly a third of the population’s entire identity is built around the construction of a country-bankrupting wall to keep brown people ou- …pay no attention to the wall - now we’re banning musl- …migrant crime I call it Biden migrant crime… MS13…
