Everything is political.

Battlefield 6 and the villain is the IDF and the US, one can dream.

It is essentially the same, it would result in the deaths of thousands. Even the Nazis tried to relocate Jewish people and realized it wasn't feasible. The people advocating for relocation know this.

It's pretty incredible how Hamas managed to take over the Illuminati board of directors and now dictates all global affairs, persistant folks!

That's why I love my thriftiness! I have a gaming PC, not the nicest but it can run any modern games well enough at 1080p/60fps, it might be worth around 1000 but I've upgraded it slowly over years. I have no TV, I bike to work, I got my phone for 300 in 2019 and it still works great.

I looked into upgrading my phone recently, I can't even find a phone that has better hardware that I would want for a reasonable price, the only major improvement would be the camera, all other stats on mine are just as good or better than comparable new phones.

We had the holocaust and Jewish people still exist, are you denying that genocide as well? A genocide doesn't have to be a success to be a genocide.

Incoming comments saying "it might be rough but that's war, they have to remove Hamas" anytime now

True, news platforms definitely know how to game these controversies, thank you for giving me an idea of what the thing actually is hah. I'm not surprised it wasn't a hate-filled tirade, as people might be inclined to think with this headline.

Like you said though I feel more sad than anything usually in relation to this sort of thing. Even if he is saying offensive things, I think you are right that he genuinely doesn't understand what being trans really is and that ignorance can be hard to separate from more malicious bigotry. Even supportive people can come off as "oh what's the harm, they can be a woman if they want to pretend" at times.

If a person isn't queer or trans, or good friends with people who are, it can probably be hard to understand how much hate still exists. A comedian might think these people just need tougher skin, not realizing the potential harm, so I don't usually blame them much.

Looking it up apparently the 'feels good man' meme from the comic was posted on somethingawful first, that was going around my circles far outside of 4chan or somethingawful around that time. According to knowyourmeme it was posted on 4chan as 'feels bad man' with the sad pepe and that's probably when it started being more associated with the right, as it became popular on 4chan and body building forums then.

And we're over here in our third party, yeah not too far off.

Pepe being BAD was spread on 4chan but he was around before that, I miss when he was just a fun guy and it had no associations like it does today :'( I think the fact that so much of it is exported while being reviled helps show how many people support vile things but won't express it unless they are in supportive company.

I was making a joke but realized it sounded like I was actually asking, but then also realized I did want to know why they thought this so thank you.
