Folks, I’m going to ask you to please consider that over 31,000 people – including over 13,000 children – have already been murdered by Israel in the last handful of months before stating that the person from your own country that was just murdered by Israel is your red line or the point where you think Israel’s genocide has finally gone too far. I really need you to understand that Palestinians are people too.
@Miro_Collas@palestine I mean, if the IOF continues to kill white foreign nationals, the only people who apparently count to the powers that be, I don't see a downside.
The idea of human beings as rational utility-maximizing particles with insatiable hedonic desires is very much the product of an ideological project to justify capitalism as “natural” and has virtually no relationship to how actual human beings live but a lot of people have genuinely internalized it.
Trying to derive “human nature” by observing people under capitalist modernity is like looking at a bored, depressed wolf obsessively pacing a circle in a tiny zoo enclosure and concluding that this is “wolf nature.”
Landlord has a derelict building, community enterprise takes it on peppercorn rent, fixes it up and runs a pay-what-you-can restaurant employing feeding the community and employing 22 people. With the building now fixed up, landlord evicts community enterprise and sells building.
This could be easily avoided if derelict and unused buildings were simply confiscated from landlords and given to the community. They should have no rights of ownership here.
It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.
@RickiTarr This is your periodic reminder that Christianity was founded by a dude who never met Jesus when he was alive, was a tax collector for the Romans, and fell off his horse and hit his head and had visions, also known as Megalo maniac psychosis post secondary traumatic brain injury, and got reprimanded by the mother church multiple times.
J.K. Rowling also writes under a pen name of "Robert Galbraith", publishing over half a dozen titles under that name, most of which have TV adaptations.
Robert Galbraith Heath was the American Psychiatrist who pioneered Gay Conversion Therapy to convert homosexuals through electro-shock therapy.
Yes, I take it personally when you say you won't vote, or vote for the Dem. Why? Because among other things, the fascists tried to commit a Black GENOCIDE during the pandemic. Your actions or inaction will give them the power to do it again in some other way. My survival depends on them NOT gaining power. So does yours.
@StillIRise1963
This comment smacks of voting for Mussolini because he makes the trains run on time.
Perfectly happy voting for down-ticket Democrats not actively aiding and abetting a genocide.
Your guy may not be actively murdering you (for now), but #GenocideJoe is actively murdering thousands of Palestinians and breaking US and international law with the US weapons, logistics and boots on the ground in #Gaza.
@GottaLaff Well that is some good news. Hopefully the #IOF won't ambush the civilians attempting to access the air drops with tank fire. #FlourMassacre
@brume@GottaLaff
Honestly, 66 pallets of food aid is better than zero. Is #GenocideJoe still a Monster? Yes. Does the air dropped food-aid counteract the $14 billion dollars of military aid to support the #EthnicCleansing of #Gaza? No.
"Now it's an extermination camp. They're literally gassing their own people in tunnels, field executing Palestinians in front of their families, sniping children going for water, and then bombing the ambulances that come to help them." https://indi.ca/staring-at-starvation/
Gaza is often correctly identified as the world’s largest concentration camp.
Some people object to this on the grounds that Gaza does not resemble a Nazi death camp, because that is what they associate with the term “concentration camp.”
Here’s an example of this sort of mistake (or perhaps deliberate obfuscation):
I just saw probably the worst image I’ve ever seen out of the Gaza Genocide. The remains of a child smashed to pieces under a tank. Most of his body parts were not even recognizable. Do you have any idea how fucking evil the United States and Israel are? Why are we doing this?
@VPS_Reports#Mammon &/OR #EndTimes The weapons we make here in the states, are sold to Israel to kill civilians. While the Christian Nationalists believe that Jesus is coming back, and there must be a nation of Israel in Jerusalem, and those pesky Muslims keep getting in the way.
I sincerely believe Ryan’s speech at the Nex Benedict vigil and march was Harvey Milk levels of powerful. That’s why I’m the only journalist who filmed it. The rest of the local media pretended this never even happened. https://youtu.be/BBiKT4gHR3U?si=VmFz3x06_NXqE5we
"Co-founders of #Trump’s media co filed a lawsuit Wed, claiming Trump, other leaders schemed to deprive them of a stake in the co that could be worth 100s of millions of $.
Some lady made up an entire fan fiction story about me that has zero basis in reality, she made every single thing about her story up, making up conversations and people that don’t exist. It’s delusion and I hope she gets the help she needs because making up fantasies like this about a person u don’t know is not normal. It’s scary honestly.
@taylorlorenz Aren't you the person who gave airtime/exposure to a #AntiTransTerrorist?! What the duck are you doing in my timeline?! You are a #GarbageFire of a human being, not a journalist, and I hope your car becomes covered in hammers and explodes more than a few times and the hammers go flying everywhere.
