Sure, explain to me!

My guess is that it could be some kind of opportunistic rise of theocratic fascism that has been empowered by the weakening of the social order and social institutions by the clash of disaster capitalism with the old establishment?

It's very disconcerting.

It's a mistake to write them off as unable to achieve their political goals through force. That's not something I'd want to test.

I was interpreting that as the cat can somehow see the caption and is offended.

Genetic mutation. If you want to see something even cooler, image search feline chimera.

I think they like it for some reason.

Objectively, Spez. [I changed my mind, see edit]

Subjectively, in my personal experience the worst mod I ever encountered was ~~Ghislaine Maxwell~~ Maxwellhill.

There are whole articles out there about how bad their moderation was.

They somehow had enough people convinced that their sockpuppet "Anutensil" was a separate user that it joined the same mod teams and constantly advocated for them. Which is crazy because a utensil literally means a tool (that they were using to consolidate power).

Edit: actually objectively it's probably someone like CarlH who was the mod of carlhprogramming but also irl turned out to be this pedo guy who kept his own young son in a basement and tortured and abused him.

Colonizers.

They aren't just in a colony, they are actively engaged in colonizing and trying to take more land through violence.

Israel was also funding Hamas.

That makes sense. When I first started researching the history of US colonization it took me ages to twig that half of it's filed under cute things like "Westward expansion".

None of that is relevant to me. Even leaving aside the question of whether what he did was journalism or espionage, he still should not be subject to extradition to a country with a track record of punishment that amounts to torture.

Given that all large nations spy on one another it's a bit ridiculous to start extraditing each others' spies, nor does the US try to. This is probably motivated by the whistleblowing.

The worst part is that by calling it "cutting off the clit" @SeaJ@lemm.ee is actually underselling how bad it is.

FGM in The Gambia is mostly Type II which is when they cut off the clit and the labia minora (lips). Clit chopping is at the mild end, and at the severe end they chop everything off and sew it up leaving a small hole for pee.
