HashtagGirlboss posted:There’s nothing to be gained by posting about this on social media or talking about it with people who you’re not very close to, assuming at least that you’re in the USA, because you will not open eyes and you will not change opinions, this is overwhelmingly being messaged in a way that it’s best just to keep your head down, idk if I thought it would come to some good to speak up I’d say differently, but there is no benefit and only problems sorry Yeah, my approach is that I'll never lie about my views, but I also won't volunteer them. A few years ago some coworker was talking up how good Musk was in the context of addressing global warming (this is while he was still popular with liberals) and I basically was just like "nah, electric cars aren't going to make a difference." The key is to take the sort of tone where the other person will come off as weird and unhinged if they argue with you. (Of course, this only applies if you care about not alienating your coworkers - if you don't then go wild - you're probably more admirable for it)

^^^^ That gore is okay because it reminds people why Israel's genocide is sadly necessary (for real though, stuff like that really does make me wonder if it's being posted - and allowed - deliberately for that purpose) silicone thrills posted:Seems like there's a big influx of posters I dont normally see around cspam posting here. I dont explore around the forums much these days but im guessing this is one of the last places where you are allowed to have any sort of nuanced view? The D&D thread is really loving bad. Even worse than I expected and I regret looking at it just now. It almost appears like people deliberately acting out some exaggerated leftist caricature of liberals. Edit: I really can't understate my disgust towards the people who are still like "I have never been as upset and disturbed as I was at Hamas's crimes..." while Israel is literally in the process of attempting to exterminate every man, woman, and child in Gaza.

ContinuityNewTimes posted:D&D poster: Hmmm the double swastikas and laminated Operation Murder plans they found at the ruined baby kibbutz seem kind of fishy. Starting to wonder if some of this stuff is a little exaggerated Wrong. It has been fact-checked. You can clearly see in this video that a member of Hamas is holding a piece of paper. You know what else is a piece of paper? That's right, the Top Secret baby murdering document. paul_soccer12 posted:Thread: West Bank violence/cleansing by settler subhumans It's really hard for me to consider the settlers "civilians/noncombatants." Minors always still count (just as a hard rule in any situation, at least for me personally), but people making the choice to live as an Israeli settler are just absolute scum who are probably even more directly involved and invested in the suffering of Palestinians than your average IDF soldier. And as we've seen countless times, they literally revel in hurting and killing Palestinians. It's really hard for me to think of anyone more repulsive. Just something fundamentally rotten in their souls. It's especially vile with people like that one settler guy from Brooklyn in that video linked earlier. Doesn't even have the excuse of being raised in a society that taught him to be like that.

Death By The Blues posted:I mean in the eyes of Hamas settlers where fair game and not civilians as they have murdered hundreds of Palestinians over the last couple of years with this year being the deadliest in the West Bank. Yeah, and it makes me wonder about the "Israeli civilian casualties" figures floating around. I don't doubt that Israel is juicing them to begin with (since they're trying to justify literal genocide, after all), but there's also going to be a reverse version of the "all military-aged males are combatants" logic happening, where armed settlers are treated as "civilians."

Cold on a Cob posted:I’ve only listened to maybe 20 episodes but I thought behind the bastards loved to talk about the cia and how the USA backs a lot of evil regimes It's pretty common for radlib/anarchist types to feel (relatively) comfortable talking about how bad the US was in the past. So they'll talk about the CIA doing bad stuff in the 80s or whatever, but in the present it's all about the evils of Assad/Putin/Xi/whoever. edit: Like Al! said, there's a certain allowable narrative about the CIA being bad in the past, which is allowed solely because it's implied to be distanced from the organization as it currently exists. edit2: Another element to this is that there's usually an implication that, to the extent the CIA has been evil in the past, it did so as an extension of the Republican Party and was not associated with the Democrats/liberals. Basically you can talk about the US being evil, but it needs to be linked to partisan conflict in some way. Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 21:16 on Oct 16, 2023 |

Mister Speaker posted:I do find it difficult, the flag thing, because I recall the time someone at the antivaxx convoy had a nazi flag and the general discourse was that old chestnut "if you're not beating up the guy with the nazi flag you're at a nazi rally." It's not the same level of evil, I think, but i do find it difficult to reconcile since essentially the same kind of tacit acceptance is happening when someone rocks a Russian flag at a Palestine rally.

What does this actually functionally mean, though? How are you defining "support"? It doesn't matter whether you think the countries are "good" or not - it's about the material outcome you think is best (and in a war between nations, it can only go one way or the other).

Cold on a Cob posted:I don't know enough about Russia, Ukraine, or the conflict to take a strong position I can justify and I never had the time to learn more than that Okay, that's a bit different than I was interpreting it. I'd describe it more as "not having an opinion" than "not supporting either side" (which is still phrased as an actual position and could also be called "opposing both sides"). Ardennes posted:It just means those are the stronger countries. Yeah, my interpretation is that it's just a "belief that the strongest countries deserve to win" I guess I can see part of the confusion about the figure, if you think it's saying things "about the countries" instead of "about the people who support the countries in their respective conflicts"

Apparently some random very distant relative (there's some other distant relative on the Jewish side of my family who tracks the hyper-extended family tree) was killed in a one of the kibbutzes. Takings lots of effort not to openly express how little I give a poo poo (not to the person who originated the e-mail, since I don't even know them, but my mom/aunt who sent it) edit: I also finally got the courage to check in on Facebook for the first time in probably like 2 years. The disturbing thing is that not a single person (that I saw while scrolling a while, at least) is commenting on this, from either perspective. Also Facebook sucks rear end now and literally at least 3/4 of the timeline is random stuff that aren't even people from my friends list. Completely unusable, it's awful. I guess it makes sense, given that it's primarily aimed at old people whose other main form of media is television. Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 19:46 on Oct 17, 2023 |

And this was a very liberal synagogue. * I have no idea what's actually involved with the bar/bat mitzvah, since my family never did Jewish stuff beyond Hanukkah vvvv Ah, maybe this explains it Pretzel Rod Serling posted:yeah a lot of non-Jewish people might not get this but they pummel you with propaganda from the moment you first drive past a synagogue, to the point where any Jew who practices at all (and even many secular Jews) are on a first-name basis with like ten IDF guys by the time their bar/bat mitzvah rolls around.

Made my first Facebook post in god knows how long (pretty sure at least 5 years) and linked to ANERA (where I set up a monthly donation since, from what I understand, those can be more helpful due to the more predictable cash flow) Both sides of the family (Jewish and fundamentalist Christian) probably gonna get mad at me, but I don't care about arguing with anyone online about this. Just want to force people to pay even the smallest amount of attention to it, since I couldn't find a single other post on my timeline about it.

RedQueen posted:picking this lie to go all in on feels like it actually might not work this time It might not work on "people who talk about politics on the internet," but it will absolutely work on "the average American." Most people just get a vague impression of what's happening from news headlines. Their understanding is probably something really vague like "Hamas did terrible evil things, and also there's some sort of humanitarian crisis in Gaza because of what Hamas did." Unlike D&D posters, they don't have any sort of convoluted justification for any of this. It's just vibes. edit: Basically, "normies" generally aren't even interested in any sort of discussion regarding this stuff. They just "find out what's happening" from the news, and that's the end of it.

Inner Light posted:not sure exactly, but there isn’t really good confirmation of that number, in addition the authoritative sources news orgs used to report that number have shifted their stories or are saying different things. the number is unconfirmed IMO as of now. but it’s not an important point probably. This is like, after the twin towers fell, saying "well we can't confirm that more than 100 people died from this" You can easily infer that "more than X" number of people died from the destruction of a building with a certain number of people in it, even if you don't know the exact number. Even the numbers cited by Gaza officials are probably low, because they won't be including people who haven't been found in the rubble.

I was once throwing rocks at cars as a kid*, and one of the rocks hit a hospital instead of a car. The hospital is gone now, and I have to live with that guilt. * this part is actually true, for some reason my friend and I decided to blindly throw rocks over the hill behind my house where cars were driving, using the sound of the cars as a guide. We ended up hitting one (or at least I'm 95% sure we did based off the sound) and realized we should probably stop before getting in major trouble. Feel bad for the poor person driving around in 1994 who suddenly had a rock come out of nowhere and crack their windshield.
