Yeah quite a large portion of lemmings are politically insane. It's either 'burn the rich, overthrow the government' or 'Maybe the windmill party has a valid point'
Like why can't people just be chill and get along
Well, the people "being chill and getting along" (i.e. just keeping the status quo going) is nowadays supporting a genocide,so...
Even if all that was true, it supports genocide my man?
Baby, I asked you if some people doing bad stuff justifies genocide as retaliation in your mind. It's not a difficult question.
Not a tankie and many independent and respected experts on the subject of genocide said that Israel is commiting genocide
It's insane how far people are willing to go to justify Israeli genocide. You're fighting a thankless battle. You have way more patience than me.
Throwing my two pence into this thread
I just like to think of it as this way fuck isreal and fuck Palestinian I feel bad for civvies the everyday people whom are being put under immense stress and immense pain
Irony is when you're accused of being a tankie in the comments of your own post condemning tankies.
How is turning Gaza into a concentration camp and bombing everyone indiscriminately, including refugee outposts and hospitals, until none are left, not a genocide?
Oh look... a totally-not-a-white-supremacist is trying to insert themself into the discussion.
I think the hurtling toward climate crises has a lot of people desperate for governments to actually do something to help assuage it, not make it worse.
I suspect we needed a baseline level of insane to not just threaten to jump Reddit, but actually follow through on it.
It's insane not to leave, but there's certainly a baseline level of "gives a fuck"
Well put! I love this place and have had some good discussions but I've also seen a lot of teenage political craziness and had that "oh, I'm talking to a lunatic or a child" sensation more often than I'd have liked to.
That's a much more accurate description
