fyi- trans people refusing to vote for anti-trans democrats are not “helping anti-trans republicans,” they’re not “waiting for the perfect candidate” either; what they are doing is not voting for their oppressor. instead of demanding trans votes, demand pro-trans candidates.

It's almost a joke at this point, but the entire story of Mamdani's mayorship really has been "it turns out we can just turn off the orphan grinding machine, the switch was right there the whole time."

Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

You gave no history lesson, you just said wrong things and acted superior. Zionism is a colonization movement aiming for form an ethnostate based on a bad claim. Where is the contradiction? Actually, don't answer that. Your assumptions about me indicate you won't answer in good faith.

Why do they deserve a homeland in a place they don't know? Jews deserve to be safe wherever they are, there are better ways to handle their safety and rights than colonization.

Colonization is literally in the first sentence of the Wikipedia page on Zionism, I verified it before I made the post. Palestinians are the people that never left that land, their right to it is as strong (stronger?) than Zionists. Nobody has a right to displace a people, however solid your claim.

I mean, sure, you can not support the current government of Israel, but Zionism is literally a colonization movement. The current government is the end result of any colonization. It requires violence to suppress the existing population. These states have never been the "good guys".

When presented with people complaining about Zionists (commonly understood to be supporters of Israel, and not equivalent to jews) your every response changes the conversation to be about Jews. That seems like you're conflating them. Even if that isn't your intent that's how it comes across.

Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.

5 panel comic

Panel 1: Purple Guy excitedly sits down at their laptop, saying: Boy o’ boy, I wonder what my favourite Author’s up to!

Panel 2: Close up of a J K Rowling tweet where she says “The gay rights movement is currently host to a cannibalising ideology that blames and shames homosexuals for not sleeping with members of the opposite sex. Amnesty International is on the side of the persecutors.”

Panels 3 to 5: Purple Guy slowly closes their laptop, wondering how the billionaire author they loved has become so obsessed with the lives of people who have absolutely no effect on her existence.

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.
