You’re not a woman I’m guessing

Probably so, I agree most men probably don’t reply like the comic but it’s not uncommon, I don’t think the artist was trying say it’s always like that but just something women worry about

Many Jewish people are against Israel and boycott Israeli companies. Yes, we can shout about the destruction of the Israeli state because that is different than eradicating people. In some situations it is black and white, the Israeli state’s goal is the death of Palestine, both the people and the nation. Numerous officials and policies have made this clear.

You’d be surprised to learn there is more than Hamas in Palestine, and the majority of people there just want their families to be able to return and have their land back that was stolen by western imperial powers, and then further taken by Israel over time. Getting rid of the Israeli state wouldn’t have to mean kicking out everyone or a genocide of the Jews there. I don’t disagree there is a lot of antisemitism in the Arab world and everywhere, it’s possible to protect the lives of Jews and Arabs in the region though.

The conditions that led to them attacking on the 7th are very different than what they would be if Palestine had proper self-determination. But true, it will take a while to heal divisions.

People don’t want endless violence, there have been many periods where Jewish and Arab people lived together peacefully. I agree though, a process like this would probably need third-party peacekeepers, an independent coalition could form to help protect people in the region and prevent terrorism, like the groups of states in the region that have come together to fight ISIS.

Almost, unfortunately:

halt the the transfer of weapons to Israel until a full investigation into the airstrike was completed.

They aren’t concerned with the thousands of children in the rubble, just the few white people that were killed.

Where did they imply they wanted them to do that? They were just saying that they talk like he is modern Hitler about to be in power, if they really believed that they would take more serious actions

It can maybe help a person cope with it and reduce harmful behavior, but for real sending Trump to a therapist would just be cruel to the therapist.

Not if you’re just one individual, but the security forces of a state are always vastly outnumbered by it’s subjects. And just knowing that many average people are armed can make authoritarians hesitate I think.

An insurrection can be a riot also, it was a riot formed with the intention of disturbing the electoral process (aka insurrection), how is that not obvious to you? They were extremely open about it, in the lead up to and during it. They live streamed the entire thing. Looking up the definition of ‘insurrection’, at a basic level it means an armed rebellion. Many people were armed.

Were you at any protests in 2020? Many people are still in prison. The police were absolutely unhinged and caused massive injuries and trauma to protesters and non-involved people. One protester who shot someone in self defense, a right-wing man trying to kill protesters, was later assassinated by federal marshals. The entire neighborhood I lived in was blanketed with tear gas, filling up residents homes.

I’m not going to bother doing your research for you, you can look up how many people were convicted with gun charges. THE MEDIA DIDN’T TELL ME dude the people doing it said it themselves while they were doing it! IF you support them, why aren’t you proud that they tried to fix the corrupt government?

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That’s your view, in my view there should have been more injured cops. What point are you making about comparing the numbers of people in prison? The scale of the two things are not even comparable, there were massive protests in every single state in the country.

All the gun charges I’ve seen are from bringing it into the capital building, I don’t know the number.

If a cop is pointing a gun at you telling you “Stop or I will shoot”, while you and a mob alongside you are destroying the last barricade to your targets (after several other barricades penetrated, numerous severe injuries and a few deaths) chanting hang Mike Pence, would you be surprised if he shot you when you tried to get to him? Do you support the 2A? It was self defense, and if you don’t think it was justified then you haven’t seen the footage. I think it’s unfortunate she was shot and don’t want anyone killed, but it was completely expected. I’m shocked more people weren’t shot.

Lol alright buddy, I hate the government and police, I’m a communist, this wasn’t my cause.

In what way? What even is your point? Your argument is incoherent and exhausting, which is probably your goal anyway.

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Stating the facts of what happened isn’t praise, I’m just pointing out it was extremely expected.

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes and? The article was illustrating what convictions people have been receiving. What do you even mean by targeted prosecution?

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You’re obviously trolling alright, but you suck at it, I showed you the video, it wasn’t trespassing.

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes, police rioted and terrorized cities for weeks, police overthrew my neighborhood, who tf are the dozens dead? You are full of shit and trolling, and just incorrect about everything also.
