No that one’s over terror won lol. Didn’t FDR say we have to be afraid of fear? Why did we forget the prophecy?

Anyway, denazify Russia for sure. It doesn’t take a chickenshit seppo to say “Nazis are bad”

Is that an opener to a conversation you’d find interesting to actually have? If yes, very confusing.

You wouldn’t think of having disdain for your source of income as blatant stupidity?

Gradually_Adjusting, 10 months ago

I would prefer to believe it’s the latter, but it may also be a design choice that merely reflects a general disdain for the user, rather than being motivated by actual greed or cynicism

Russia and Ukraine have both been using cluster bombs since the start of the war. The only difference is now Ukraine has American ones with lower dud rates.

Cue false outrage media circus, blah de fucking blah

I didn’t know Russia was planning on downsizing their fleet. Good on them.

They weren’t expecting a big case? Did they think Jack Smith was mad dogging Trump the whole time in court just for fun?

"Seeing a refugee from our country burn our holy book has caused us to look inward and reflect on the harm of absolutist ideologies."

• Nobody ever, apparently?

An Iraqi refugee being the burner is quite the buried lede.

Gradually_Adjusting, 10 months ago

I’m confused who you think is burning Qurans in this story. The Iraqi refugee is a warmonger?

Gradually_Adjusting, 10 months ago

A guy burned a book. It sounds to me like pinning one guy’s actions on an entire country would make you a real warmonger.

We will probably agree that Islamophobia is ignorant and repulsive. I think it’s important to be clear about that - what is not clear to me is whether the politics around this media circus are as straightforward as that. It seems like the religious leaders have an ulterior interest in making a big diplomatic incident about this (not letting a crisis go to waste, in other words).

I think cooler heads would prevail, if the talking heads would let them. It’s not always helpful to rhetorically employ terms like ‘cultural genocide’ either, as it’s a clear overreaction and not within the scope of what is happening here.

You did not correctly read what I said. Stop. Breathe. Try again.

I like to imagine my terrible crap in a storybook watercolor style, sorta Roald Dahl meets George RR Martin.

Edit: the artist I was thinking of is Quentin Blake.

Of course it does. They’ve been increasingly controlling with how the whole site is run. The whole thing is a gimmick to pump engagement metrics anyway.

Reddit sells ad space, that’s it. That’s the business. And at this point it isn’t oriented towards a community at all, it’s been made into another nickel and dime outfit.
