Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”...
There were accusations filed, perhaps not directly against Trump but instead his administration, and maybe not by the ACLU directly citing Genocide but instead human rights. The connection is mentioned by them at least: acluga.org/…/shut-it-down-civil-rights-lawyers-de…
One of the biggest issues I have with a ton of people is the need to have a “glorious leader”, or the assumption that everyone has one. I’ll vote against Trump doesn’t mean Biden is my “glorious leader”, nor Bernie, nor AOC. People are flawed and worshiping someone will always be problematic. Never meet your heroes, etc.
People also seem to act like hating what one country does means you have to love what the countries considered enemies of them do. America has done a ton of shit and still does a ton of shit it shouldn’t do, and I think we need to be honest about the impact and work to fix it. I think Russia and China also fits in those roles.
There isn’t a world leader today I’d treat as infallible, and I have never pledged my allegiance to a country (at first, for religious reasons, but now that I am not religious, more for ideological reasons). I will still work for the betterment of where I live, pay taxes, etc, but I’m not going to be some jingoistic nationalist nor act like there is some perfect country I’d rather be in. I might eventually want to be in a different country depending how the future goes, but it wouldn’t be because I think that country is perfect. I don’t believe such a thing exists.
I mean the last time I did something similar (many many years ago) it just have me a stronger understanding that not everyone has the same experience as me, tastes matter, and that that’s OK. It calmed me down a bit on gushing about stuff.
Well, it’s probably true. Although easier to confirm sometimes, information across the internet still is often a big game of telephone. Some people treat internet info like UDP and just accept what they get, some people are TCP and will fact check before accepting it.
This person probably did just hear it from a buddy.
? Meaning of life is absolutely not what I heard about growing up. Mostly Holy Grail. Once I joined reddit years back I saw life of Brian stuff. I’m not sure I heard of Meaning of Life before you just mentioned it. I actually assumed you meant life of Brian until I googled it. I’m also in IT, and have been since '99.
I’ve always been more worried of the Empire did nothing wrong facet of the Fandom, but I guess there’s people who think they’re rebellion too. Despite the fact that the rebellion is the one with multiple races…
Still, there is an odd commonality of right wing propaganda types using fictional movies, shows, and books as if they are reality.
I was just making a reference to the fact that Bi people are sometimes erased or not recognized in some lgbt+ communities, which often is problematic for them, as both their straight and gay/lesbian relationships are sometimes plagued by their partners/potential partners distrust, among other things.
I know this is a meme, but I always considered Yoda as winning the fight, but without enough left to fight off any reinforcements, being thus unable to finish the job. Winning the battle but losing the war, etc.
I mostly don’t ever answer calls I don’t recognize, and even the ones I do I don’t often answer if I’m at work etc. I’ve only answered calls when it’s for something important being delivered, fixed, or scheduled (recent examples in same order: TV, Internet, renting a place(less recent, but all I could think of)).
I’ve heard dame used more often than bird myself. Honestly, not sure I’ve actually heard bird used… it’s like a vague sense of “I think I knew that… right?” and my brain shrugs back.
He’s been on this tip for a long while, supporting Ron Paul and being anti-vax. Last Week Tonight did an episode on Vaccines, and he shows up in a no longer valid comparison of RFK Jr on the left, Alex Jones wherever he fits in, and even this guy. I remember him also calling for Ron Paul 2012, but doesn’t seem to be from this one, so hopefully I’m remembering that right.
Still, he’s been libertarian and antivax for a long time, and those communities have been heavily aimed at by fascists for recruitment.
