What do you think about sources having depicted the Donetsk People's Republic as a part of Ukraine?

Tbh when you force people to choose between Israel and Hamas without even having a "no answer" option most people are gonna be afraid of choosing Hamas, especially when you frame them as genocidal baby beheading r*pist terrorists in your prior questions. But half of any western demographic saying they support Hamas is genuinely pretty surprising, this just means a fairly worded poll on Israel v Palestine would have a clear anti-zionist majority for young people

Do you think the Hamas killing of 1200 Israeli civilians on Israel can be justified by the grievances of the Palestinians?

18-24: 51% justified

Haha holy shit

Headline is a bit misleading. From the AP:

He said Israeli leaders needed to “step up their game” and referred to Hezbollah, the group Israel fears may launch a large-scale attack from the country’s north, as “very smart.” In an interview that aired Thursday, he added to his criticism, saying Netanyahu “was not prepared” for the deadly weekend incursion from Gaza.

Lmao according to that article he has personal beef with Netanyahu for acknowledging Biden's win? Anyways, I went to his truthsocial and he's only posting extreme Zionist stuff. He even has a couple videos going in about how he's the "only president that can protect Israel, no one else will"

The Telegraph is the only one reporting this, we're supposed to believe a sensationalist conservative tabloid?

The far left eating its own

Dude, blajah is as liberal as most instances here. Their top community literally has a banner that says "fuck tankies." There was a lot of drama between our instances and hostility from the blajah mods/admins (leaking private pms to make fun of, an ableist slur from a mod, saying they'll ban users over "tankie behavior" or "anything iffy from hexbear users," etc).

The only way we might've seen them as our allies was that we're both largely queer communities. We never agreed on politics, but were willing to put that aside until all the hostility.

In high school, I dm'd a guy in my class "you're handsome bro"

His response was something like, "you too man I appreciate it!"

We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like "damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment"

dont-laugh I love how some of the opening lines talks about interviewing a single Chinese person failing to run a business

One entrepreneur interviewed by The Wall Street Journal said that one of his businesses, a distributor for LED screens based in Shenzhen, is suffering from widening losses as overseas orders dry up, leading him to slash prices to compete for domestic clients. Having laid off more than 50 out of 120 staff since 2022, he said he is contemplating whether to shut the business this year.
