Why does it really matter that issues can be “discussed” if the issue being discussed is as atrocious as what Israel is doing to Palestine.

Israel and the US know that what they’re doing is wrong. Them and their crony countries aren’t going to change course because of this.

It doesn’t exactly prevent WW2 if they tell Hitler to stop and he doesn’t listen…unless of course they choose to let him continue his goals unimpeded rather than go to war, citing their documented disagreement as sufficient counter action…

Damn, those Russian “orc hordes armed with shovels” sure are tough!

How many users does IG have that are registered as under 18?

I’m 25 now, but I still always say I was born in the 80s out of habit…

It’s a good step, but it won’t fix things.

We gotta stop acting like these women are helpless fools.

Yeah, I think I might be transphobic too though.

I try to get trans all over me, but instead they’re repelled!

Disclaimer: The prior joke uses the term “transphobia” in a manner similar to “hydrophobic,” wherein it describes a physical property of molecules which are repelled by water. This use of the term is intentionally detached from its commonly understood definition related to negative attitudes or behaviors towards transgender individuals. The intention is to create a play on words by leveraging the concept of “transphobia” to humorously describe a scenario where I get no removed. I recognize the sensitivity of the term “transphobia” and assure you that the humor is not intended to offend or undermine important issues related to gender identity and discrimination.

At the end of the day, fascists are human too and we both want what’s best for the country, we just have different ways of getting there, and I think we can agree to disagree.

Meanwhile those evil communists want to abolish the country and take your home to give to an immigrant!

Alternative title: 51%* of Britons unsure if they would prefer Communism over Facsism.

Very concerning.

Edit: initially said 25% for some reason.

Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says he can’t stop the optical illusion . Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, ‘Treatment is simple. Great ability to use your third eye is available tonight. Go and use it. That should pick you up.’ Man bursts into tears. Says, ‘But doctor…I am Third Eye Blind.’

The moment a US made and supplied missile lands in Moscow, you might just see how.

I used to find it utterly hilarious before I switched to Lemmy, how redditorshated twitterx and twitterx users, then would praise reddit and the reddit community lmfao.

Then you’re letting sentiment drive you rather than reason.

So you wouldn’t want the genocide to end if it came at the cost of someone killing themselves? Why?

Is the entire Palestinian population who are suffering a genocide worth less than a western life to you?

But I refuse to allow that someone’s opinion should be given more weight than mine just because they mutilate or kill themselves.

His opinion holds more weight than yours because he is right and you are attacking a martyr rather than focusing on the cause he was martyrd for.

Their mental disorder doesn’t confer moral superiority, it detracts from it.

Your insistence that they must be mentally ill/disorderd doesn’t negate moral superiority, it only further reveals your apologist mindset.

My handshake brings all the boys to the yard.

it was easy money,

Sounds more like it was hard earned money to me.

You’re saying the Democrats, who are welcoming immigrants into sanctuary cities and fighting to protect the rights of legal immigration, are somehow also responsible for fear-mongering about immigrants?

I’m saying the Democrats who have accepted and now push the 2016 right wing framing on immigration and the border as a national security threat are fear mongering about immigrants yes. Her official platform literally has

Vice President Harris and Governor Walz believe in tough, smart solutions to secure the border, keep communities safe, and reform our broken immigration system. As Attorney General of California, Vice President Harris went after international drug gangs, human traffickers and cartels that smuggled guns, drugs, and human beings across the U.S.-Mexico border. As Vice President, she supported the bipartisan border [far-right] security bill, the strongest reform in decades. The legislation would have deployed more detection technology to intercept fentanyl and other drugs and added 1,500 border security agents to protect our border. After Donald Trump killed the border deal for his political gain, she and President Biden took action on their own — and now border crossings are at the lowest level in 4 years [why is this good if people crossing the border aren’t bad], their administration is seizing record amounts of fentanyl, and secured funding for the most significant increase in border agents in ten years. As President, she will bring back the bipartisan [far-right]border security bill and sign it into law. At the same time, she knows that our immigration system is broken and needs comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.

That’s an interesting take. What do you call it when Republicans…

Whataboutism. “The Republican party are evil so it’s alright that the Democratic party is evil too!”.

Edit: Also, I call them the thought leaders for the future of the Democratic party as they shift further and further right on these issues in the name of "compromise " and “reaching across the aisle”

They’re the ones doing that, they’re in charge right now and conducting a genocide in Gaza while fear mongering about immigrants.
