Or alternatively, 'no, of course you're not going to hell, you'll just be spending time in our heated subterranean accommodations'
The IDF has deliberately killed many journalists and aid workers from the UN and NGOs, but yeah, if you're not literally risking your life under Israeli bombardment and gunfire you're a slacktivist.
On a surface level, yes, tribalism is easy to fall into and it's important to examine your biases and reflect on your beliefs. Having done that though, it becomes clear that the Republicans are in fact stupid and ridiculous. It's easy to see that their talking points are the results of ignorance and fascist propaganda and not much else. There are underlying reasons for that of course, fascist propaganda heightens feelings of fear, anger, and resentment, and appeals to people who feel aggrieved, especially about the loss of stability, privilege, or an imagined better past. We can't do away with standards and values. We can't allow our minds to so open that out brains fall out. Republicans do measurably, objectively far more harm.
If you feel the urge to argue for collective punishment just shut the fuck up. Saying 'you reap what you sow' in this case is regressive and cruel. Fascists enacted this law undemocratically and many people, human beings that you should have empathy for, are effectively held captive by the GOP which has heavily gerrymandered Florida and engaged in voter suppression and disenfranchisement. Think critically for a second and direct your criticism at the right people.
I don't think explodicle was criticizing Harris, I think they were criticizing desantis for not picking up the phone and talking to the person he should be talking to
As far as I can tell, mostly just fantasy tropes and the poem by Percy Shelley, a personal favorite
I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Israeli athletes could be made to compete under a neutral designation similar to Russian athletes.
I get the sense that they're attracted to (some) trans women and uncomfortable about it and what they think it means about their sexuality.
The complete lack of punctuation really sells the breathless ranting style though
Nuanceposting? In my shitposting forum?
Not to be paranoid, but is this another ploy to get people to upload selfies so that they can gather training data?
Actually dumbass I'm on my computer
