Gonna be fr grown adult queers should know better than to engage in crazy fear mongering telling other people it’s over and we’re all gonna be sent to camps and lose our rights and be criminalized and whatever like hey how about don’t tell a group of people with unbelievably high suicide rates that there’s no hope and life is over

People got through slavery, people got through being bombed by napalm, people got through being invaded by the Nazis and Imperial Japanese. Those people faced much worse situations than us and they were okay, we'll be fine.

laughing at a genocide in progress really goes to show just how awful you people are and how you never actually gave a shit about the lives of others.

I'm not laughing at the Holocaust of the 21st century, I'm laughing at this stupid tweet and everyone who insisted it would work and demeaned all alternatives.

And what exactly was your fucking strategy?

Sitting on your fucking hands and doing fuck all nothing? At least we fucking tried.

So you're obviously having a bad time with this whole charade, so I'm gonna try and be sincere here:

Nothing this new reactionary administration does is going to be as painful as the phantasms you're torturing yourself with.

We've lived through this before already, we know what to expect, and we've lived through another reactionary administration led by segregationist and zionist Joe Biden.

You're not going to accomplish anything for anyone, least of all yourself, with this emotional masochism.

...you're a fool and a coward. And I hope you'll live to regret it.

I'm neither, and never will. The PFLP's instructions were quite clear, and I followed them. If nothing else, aiding and abetting the Holocaust will now be understood to be a losing proposition.

@pettybourgeoisculturalreform happy birthday! have a jakey

Murder, kidnappings, and corruption.

These are just some of the best known crimes of anti-communist Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori, who has just died. A few months ago he had claimed he would run for president again.

If a homophobe says 1+1=2 does that make them wrong? Are you unable to identify, pick out, and adopt correct positions from incorrect ones? This is an admission you would never get out of someone who actually intends to learn from the good and the bad of the past. Your entire insistence to ignore all the various bipoc and lgbt theorists, on top of the actual history and movements people have done historically means you will forever remain at the whims of the currents of historical progress. What a childish, dismissive, and utterly useless way to view the world.

Newton and Boyle were bigoted - how many times must I learn that I don't belong in your ideal gas? That your perfect world excludes not only air resistance but Gays? I don't need to listen to dead white men to understand how physics works, I live under it every day.

There is, in fact, a name for 'reducing harm' to oneself at the expense of others: opportunism, as practiced by every collaborator history has condemned.

don't worry guys, it's actually benefitting Americans at the expense of the rest of the world, which is basically heroism

At this point you can literally ignore everything written by any self-described "progressive Jewish (we're not zionists buuuut...)" thinkpiece outlet in less than 5 seconds just by seeing if they have any articles whatsoever about the massive broadly-supported explicitly-pro-rape faction of Israeli society

Hey. You. The American teenager inexplicably reading this. Don't join the US military. You're better than that. The military is a bunch of cops. Are they technically diverse and inclusive? On some level, kind of, almost. But their job is to kill people. They kill innocent people every day. They abuse their own members, especially their members who aren't white cis het middle class Christian men. The US exists through perpetual violence against the global working class, including its own working class. The military is how it carries out a large portion of that violence. You deserve better. You're better than that. Don't join.

I used to be you. Trust me when i say that. "It's just a job" is easy to say until you see drones take off loaded and land empty. "I need the money" is easy to say until you hear about the US betraying and abandoning her allies and you watch an empty lot in the desert fill with tanks that, until a few days ago, had been protecting the people you thought you signed up to protect. "I didn't have a choice" is a lie you tell yourself when you hear about an AC-130 crew destroying a hospital.

Have you directly supported combat aircraft that have killed people? Have you directly supported logistics aircraft that moved weapons and ammo and troops into combat zones? Have you heard about war crimes committed by the US and realized the war criminals and their tools were able to get where they did because you helped keep an airfield in operation? Have you seen armed white men supervise impoverished Indian and Filipino migrant workers building and maintaining infrastructure on behalf of the US government and Kuwaiti royal family like some sort of 21st century version of plantations in the Antebellum South? Have you seen a team of hurricane "first responders" treat the hurricane response duty like a vacation, drinking and partying every night while the people off the base are dying due to lack of electricity?

I have. I haven't seen combat, I'll admit that. But everything i just described, i saw in Kuwait in 2019 and Puerto Rico in 2017. I saw and experienced other things, too, things I'd rather not have seen.

You are morally superior to me. You are a better person than me. Don't do what i did. If you're so damn desperate to get killed by doing a government job, join a fire department. I would run into a burning building and relive those nightmares every single night before I'd spend another second in the USAF uniform. You can do better than me. Please do better than me. I'm not superstitious but the Devil is real and he collects souls at US military recruiting stations. Don't give him yours.

an investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz confirmed that Gazan civilians are being kidnapped by the IDF and sent as human shields to search tunnels and houses before IDF soldiers enter. they also confirmed that this is being done with the full knowledge of senior Israeli officers.
