Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

These type of things happening disprove the the belief of good gods. If this type of shit can happen, your supposedly "good" deities are either not powerful or fake.

John Yoo rides again

Cassel: If the President deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?

Yoo: No treaty.

Cassel: Also no law by Congress. That is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo.

Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.

Those who dehumanise are the true subhumans.

I was permanently banned on reddit for commenting under this exact story that I think Islamic terrorists maybe have a point.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Well it maybe would have a point if they blew up IDF soldiers and not some random train station in Europe or a stadium full of kids and teenagers. All that achieves is more hatred against regular Muslims.

I never stop wondering how much social conditioning and impunity can change people.

No one in their right mind would ever do that. But these people's brains are turned into a mush made only to kill and torture, to inflict as much pain as possible, on purpose. What does it take to turn a regular person into this?

Be wary. This news source, Anadolu Agency, is based in Turkey and is known for right wing bias and disinformation. My first question here is, who else is reporting this story? And is publication of this story limited to right wing press?

This has gone on quite enough. Israel and the USA deserve to be abolished and anyone with an ounce of ppwer hanged. John Brown, The Soviets, fucken anyone who says put them down permanently, is right. You can't allow people to continue after doing evil like this. You have to stop them forever.
