We needed to act with urgency when this horror started over a year ago. We failed.

But you know, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

We still won't do it though.

As individuals, all we can do is boycott Israel, protest our own governments' inaction and if you ever see Netanyahu, spit in the bastard's face.

That's good! Then what's the issue?

He will likely be having sex soon anyway, if not already. The main question is whether you want him to be in a safe place or somewhere less sensible?

Just let them imo.

No it's fine! I think if you stick you fingers in your ears and shout "project fear!" a few times into the mirror you will summon the spirit of Boris Johnson to get brexit done and give you £350 million a week for the NHS

I would absolutely not travel to America while Trump is in power. I've wanted to visit again since his first term, but fuck the extra border hassle (+ now the risk of getting sent to gitmo or El Salvador or god knows where for criticizing dear leader) and also fuck supporting an economy he will take credit for.

I feel bad for all the businesses who did nothing wrong. But we live in capitalism and I can't vote/protest there so 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I never post on reddit but Severance is 90% of the reason I ever want to. Not sure if there is a community here and I would feel weird posting hyper specific theories/discussions on a more general community for TV shows or whatever

It's supposed to drive on the left but for some reason is constantly drifting towards the right

Yeah I know. "Privately" should probably have been "quietly." Of course you may say it wasn't quiet, sure, but I think the meaning is clear. Telling them off with the right hand while the left is busy dropping more weapons into their lap. Just enough deniability for anyone who insists the democrats do nothing wrong.

They were (lightly) publicly criticised and privately supported, but yeah, point taken

The thread itself is such a stupid gotcha as well. "Oh if you like Ukraine so much go die in Donetsk!" Lol no bro there is such a huge gulf between "we should help Ukranians fight for their freedom with military equipment/funding" and "I personally will die for Ukraine" that the point doesn't even get off the ground

If someone broke into your home and destroyed all the food, and blockaded you from leaving or anything from getting in, wouldn't it be obvious they were trying to kill you?

So how could this not be an intentional act of genocide? And now we have Trump they will be cheered on if anything

They drink blood I guess.

If you get "detained" for no crime, you have been taken hostage. The media refusing to call them what they are is part of the problem

And these hostages are being tortured:

“I am talking about clubbing, being beaten with rifle butts and being attacked by dogs. There was little to no food, no personal hygiene, no soap inside the cells, no water, no toilet, no toilet paper … I saw people who were dying there … I was beaten so badly I couldn’t use my legs or walk. No day passes without torture.”

That's a bad thing though, right? So what difference does it make to this story?

"Yeah but when we write stuff you desperately want to be true you click on it soooo....." - the media, probably

Waking up to a public call for ethnic cleansing. This is going to be a long four years

“He told me he is not anti-vaccine. He is pro-vaccine safety, which strikes me as a rational position to take,” Senator John Cornyn told Politico.

This is the oldest trick in the book. "No I'm not anti-vaccine, I'm pro safe vaccines!" Then proceeds to explain how none are "safe" and we "need more research"

Yeah it's not a very practical decision to vote Green in a two party system. But honestly if you are unwilling to vote for parties enabling genocide I'm not really going to criticise too much. Voters with conscience aren't to blame, the parties are.

Another chapter in "ugh everyone is upset about current thing so I need to show how much smarter I am."

Biden providing weapons to Israel is fucking shitty and he has blood on his hands that will never wash off.

Elon Nazi saluting is also fucking shitty and a sign that there will be more blood that won't wash off over the next four years.

So how in the fuck can you understand the seriousness of one and dismiss the other as a "hand gesture"? Fucking pathetic. Like if someone says "I am going to kill all non whites" and you're all "oh why are you so bothered about sound waves in the air instead of [thing I care more about]?"

Congratulations, YouTuber. You are indeed the smartest. Well done

The author seems to think that if we're mad about the Nazi salute we aren't mad about the other stuff. Like does saying "yes it was obviously a Nazi salute you dumb fuck" stop me from standing up for people's rights or showing courage when it's needed? Of course not.

This is what happens to commentators when they have to say something that seems smart but actually have no point to make. The salute is a wake up call for the unengaged and an easy way to see what is really happening. But that doesn't make for a holier than thou think piece so the author doesn't give a shit.

Debating it is pointless though. Just show people the video and if they are still connected to reality at all there is no discussion needed.
