They cleared out the tent city on my block today

20 or 30 homeless people camped in the parking lot of an unoccupied office building. They had had been there for a little over a month. As I was leaving for work this morning 6 cop cars turned the corner. When I got back, there was yellow tape everywhere and all the tents were in a pile waiting to be loaded into a garbage truck....

you can’t even get him to host it daily? at this point just shutter the show. there’s plenty of people doing good lib/progressive political comedy (and way more doing it badly), but a legacy network like Comedy Central has nothing to offer them.

the biggest difference is that hamas isn’t threatening to destroy the schools and hospitals that israel is bombing

i feel like a proper disability benefits system would simply not deduct the money from her account, and also threaten the company with criminal fraud charges

like, “such and such country is committing genocide and covering it up!” is a very serious claim! fortunately, it is also very incredible. it’s improbable that mass murder of a population can go almost totally unnoticed except for reports and evidence from sources that are demonstrably untrustworthy. Just knowing who Adrian Zenz is should be making you suspicious unless you’ve completely disabled your bullshit detectors.

“Freedom of the press” is a joke. I can see what our “free press” is doing with the butchery of Gaza. At a certain point you have to accept that your understanding of the facts is not, and has never been unmediated.

Here is a good starting point if you want to understand the ways this has happened and more critically evaluate it.

Hm, so you’re saying that every political faction “denies genocide and defends aggressive warmongering”? Could it perhaps be that every faction gets accused at one point or another of genocide and aggressive warmongering, and it’s your responsibility as a political person to use your brain to figure out who is lying?

I’m a leftist who isn’t a tankie. I don’t much care about China and I think the struggle for liberation can only be fought where we are at. I don’t uncritically accept the propaganda and the worldview of the state I seek to destroy at face value. Thus I do not accept claims about “genocide” committed by the US’ main rival without good evidence. Having principles and critical faculties are important to my politics. What about you? What makes you, someone who identifies liberals as “center-left,” significantly different from them? Your conditional support for Palestinian liberation?

I sleep fine. Sometimes I jerk off first.

Part of developing mental maturity is coming to understand that other people might genuinely believe in a differing set of facts from you. And my facts are based on evidence.

I’ve invited you to learn literally anything about this subject before commenting further. Not much else I can do you help you.

keeping the lands from a sealed events?

So, I’m not a very experienced drafter, but I know you’re supposed to return the lands you take from the land station. Recently though I attended a WOE draft (faeries, 1-2-0) and accidentally walked off with the 16 lands I borrowed. I know monetarily that’s only a few cents, money that the store probably made back that...

I know it sounds like I’m taking the piss, but I don’t think I’ve encountered a kinder, more accepting community than Hexbear, due to admins here actually enforcing civility rules. And I’m sure there’s an equally chill instance for people who aren’t interested in tearing the arms off their boss and drinking blood directly from the limbless wounds.

downside of lemmyverse: you will get death threats for being a lolicon

upside of lemmyverse: you can send death threats to lolicons

and if you kept doing it, would you be asked to leave? would your “free speech” be “violated” by exclusion from decent society? I’m struggling to see the contours of your argument, where exactly you draw the line between “censorship” and “social pressure” and how you imagine that ought to translate to online spaces?

that line isn’t the horizon, it’s the edge of the shadow that separates day from night time. There’s no way to perceive it at ground level, but if you’re high in the air and the sun is near the horizon it’s visible.

Thousands of Ukrainian men are avoiding military service (www.economist.com)

In the queue of about 130 people, only 20 are male. Men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine unless they qualify for an exemption. Four of those waiting are young lads who look close to turning 18. To avoid the risk of mobilisation, they must leave before then. Of course, some men find ways to get out anyway, legally or...

“the exception that proves the rule” doesn’t just mean any evidence against your point is actually evidence for your point. it means that something is only notable because it’s usually rare.

If you pay attention, you’ll notice how many of these discussions will go like

“If you think China is a perfect utopia, then how do you explain that something bad happened there?”

“I don’t think it’s a utopia. Yeah that bad thing seems bad.”

“So you accept that China is literally Mordor then?”

“What”
