“Against boredom, even the dogs struggle in vain” - Fried Rice Neat She
Literally one of the first things I noticed about NCD back on The Old Place was that it was incredibly LGBT friendly. It was one of the reasons I felt comfortable enough to stick around. I’m not LGBT, but there’s always a sense of dread with certain interests lending themselves to… unpleasant views. Knowing NCD was super LGBT friendly was like, yes, good, these are my people, pure shitposters
Considering that US liberals were the main participants in the Floyd protests, ‘arguing with liberals’ seems like a bizarre label for this.

I didn’t realize I was a subject of such interest to so many people.

Because I know what our common objective is and I just can’t care about the subtle differences.
Even when those ‘subtle differences’ result in being backstabbed and sold out and the entire cause being lost against a fascist enemy, great. Subtle little differences, like “We need to purge the anarchists and Trots” should be met with “We need complete and total cooperation with the people who want to purge us 😊”
The true meaning of a united front, huh?
You’re on Divide By Zero, you should be fucking familiar with how they fucked the anarchists and the Trots, and that most of their ‘aid’ was purchased, not given.
Soviets were the only ones who truly supported the Spanish democracy against the fascist.
Curious that their backstabbing the Spanish republicans was instrumental in losing the Spanish Civil War for the republican side. Strange kind of support.
No, no, I was assured Hillary Clinton was Basically The Same as Trump and Both Sides Were Bad.
(wich is technically possible but would probably result in way more casualtys because hamas attacks fleeing civilians)
You do realize that Hamas are shithead terrorists, not Saturday morning cartoon villains, right?
But you putting Fighters as in Terrorists in quotes tells a story of its own.
The story it tells is that Israeli claims of accurate identification of Hamas militants is questionable at best.
You gotta need to source that claims, and by source i don’t want to see you taking the numbers of the hamas propaganda ministry or their Gaza health ministry, and i also don’t want to see any sources just repeating those numbers.
Is the IDF acceptable as a source? The IDF claimed 10-12,000 ‘fighters’ killed and a ~50% civilian casualty ratio - meaning by their own estimates, back in February, they’d killed 20-24,000 Gazans - or about 1-in-100 of the prewar Gazan population.
You are also kinda silent about the fact that Israel is literally self defending in a war not started by them.
I don’t give a fuck who started it. Genocide still isn’t an acceptable response. There’s a reason why support for Israel started high after Oct 7 and plummeted in the following months. And it’s not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.
And Israel isn’t doing genocide, they are just a little too reckless,
Literal genocidal rhetoric from Israel’s ruling government as they kill 1 out of every 100 Gazans alive before the start of the war.
Pretty sure they passed ‘reckless’ a while ago.
nobody is giving a F about turkey turning Syria and the region Kurdistan into wastelands because they want to eradicate the people there.
This may come as a shock, but discussions of Turkish attempts at genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kurds are actually quite a big deal amongst people who follow international politics.
OP is sealion arf arf
The ‘arf arf’ makes OP seem cute, though
One was generically anti-genocide, one was anti-genocide in the context of the Palestinian genocide, namely, critiquing the idea that just because LGBT rights amongst a people being genocided are less than stellar doesn’t mean that genociding them is okay or should be tolerated, even by LGBT folk.
It fucking stuns me that we still use coal in this day and age.

… kind of wish someone looked a little deeper into the issue at the time.
