Great, so while the poor in Australia suffer under ever increasing costs, stagnant wage growth and a government that bends to the whims of wealthy interest groups, that very govt is gonna lecture us about how the economy is good, actually. Fuck off.

Complete, permanent disarmament of israel is decades overdue but right now it's the most important it's ever been. Disarmament, dissolution, mass war crime tribunals and reparations are immediately due.

The only response to that line is "so?" Doing that to some truly evil soldiers is a hell of a lot more justifiable than doing it to an ICU full of newborns, let alone the rest of the innocent people israel tortures.

And what of the victims of the genocide who died before trump got voted in? Y'know, the majority of them?

It wasn't his hard-headedness that forced him to commit genocide, it was his deep, personal love of genocide.

It literally would have, yes. Without the US' constant arming, military and political defence, it absolutely would've stopped the genocide, but biden didn't want that. He wanted the genocide.

Probably could try and find a dumbass with less of a genocide connection

Zero risk for the flu? Does this fetid boil think that young people just don't get the flu? Wait til this dummy learns that I'm willing to take the shot just to avoid having a runny nose for even a day.

186k is a very old estimate at this point. 67k is so flagrantly, offensively wrong that it's essentially pro-genocide propaganda.

A crucially important part of the crybullying strategy.

I'll cheer for israel's complete, permanent disarmament and nothing less. There's no path to peace that doesn't start there.

This reminds me of that clip of Ben Affleck calling out the racism of Bill Maher, who responded with "Islam isn't a race" and the clip became one of those "atheist dunks on loser" memes but Ben was absolutely correct. Islamophobia is and always has been racism.

Don't get it twisted, though. If they had a society where all ethnic minorities were treated as second class citizens, they would still be chafing about how good the minorities have it and they'd be trying to take what little they have away. If you need proof, they're doing it right now.

To be as clear as possible, I'm not trying to say that Iranians aren't from an Aryan ethnic group, but rather that the nazi worship of Aryans wasn't based on worshipping any actual, real race.

Leia 🏳️‍⚧️ @leiatacoteef.bsky.social · 2d

I know what you mean by this, but there's no such thing and there never has been. The "Aryan" race mythologised by Nazis was an invention, a fiction, just like all of their conspiracy theories against Jews. They worshipped an image of perfection in their head and it didn't matter how not real it was

Literally, unless you're their doctor or a trusted person, the only acceptable answer to "does this woman have a penis?" Is
"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

You deliberately avoiding it doesn't mean it didn't happen. South Park can't be quickly waved away, either. It was a titanic force for this kind of hollow, edgy loser humour.

The biden admin was 100% in favour of genocide and did absolutely zero to rein it in, that is true, but that doesn't make this farcical peace real.

No one "must" partake of the books. It's always a choice and it's always the wrong one.

Boycotting doesn't do nothing. Every cent that you don't give her is a good thing, not nothing.

Continuing to enjoy harry potter is continuing to support her, dumbass. It's not about not being able to take back your childhood dollars, stop giving her your adult child dollars.

And we can't forget homophobic. But all terfs are homophobic, so that's no surprise.
