"Hey, just because we SAID we wouldn't vote for Holocaust Harris doesn't mean that you should believe us" 🙄

I think in the later books it's revealed that saying his name reveals your location to the death eaters, so the people who were afraid to use Voldemort's name were right all along

Idk, I grew up on 4chan but I learned the opposite lesson. I realized that there was an endless amount of gruesome violence and traumatizing snuff films on the internet, and I didn't like how they made me feel. Even as an edgy teenager, they quickly lost their allure

Where are her jokes at the expense of Palestinians? It's almost like these "jokes" are a thin veneer over what she actually believes

I'm literally bisexual lol It's a lot easier for me to believe that teenage girls are following social trends than it is for me to believe that the actual number of bisexual girls doubled and then halved again in the span of a decade. What was turning them all bisexual, chemicals in the water?

100

Here's the source of the data this article is based on btw. Everyone is narrativizing this, so here's my narrative: It's been a bit trendy for girls to identify as bisexual, and that trend has died down a bit over the past few years.

"You're just making things up, no leftist drew a red line at genocide in 2024" Sure thing Jan

100

Yes, absolutely, if your goal with Palestinian activism is to make it as exclusive and small a club as possible

000

Are you illiterate? For the third time: now is the second best time to criticize Mamdani. Make him suffer. Send the message to every politician in the country: if you play with fire you're gonna get burned. The ideal time to accuse him of genocide would be in the months leading up to the election

100

I did, if your goal is to make being pro-Palestine as big of a political liability as possible, then you should spend your limited resources protesting politicians who agree with you and ignore politicians who stay silent. Make an example out of Mamdani. Future politicians won't make that mistake

100

Or maybe the lesson here is you should be skeptical of mayoral candidates who promise to arrest heads of state who visit their city lol But hey, if you want to throw Mamdani under the bus, by all means go on right ahead. All the mayors who kept their mouths shut on Palestine get to reap the rewards

100

I agree that in 2026, you're more likely to sway Kamala Harris than Donald Trump. That doesn't mean you should be protesting Kamala Harris more than Donald Trump. Do you need me to explain why?

000

Yes, it makes sense to elect democrats and then pressure them to change, in that order. So it's baffling that Palestinian activists don't have those priorities. It's almost as though they're not actually interested in making tangible changes to the world.

200

Probably dems, which makes it all the more baffling to me why you'd want to "hold democrats accountable" by electing MAGA.

The protests in 2024 weren't limited to politicians local to the city or college campus. Hell, they were even willing to travel to the capital to set themselves on fire or protest in the thousands. For some reason, all that energy died down once when you could no longer blame Democrats

2113

Contrapoints agrees with Palestine activists like 85% of the way, and they HATE her for it. She even called it a genocide! And yet she's treated like the biggest fan of Israel on the planet. This is completely unlike any real movement interested in making changes in the world.

AI geniunely democratizes the creation of art. This is mostly bad, because the average person has terrible taste.

Those cheating fruit AI videos are pretty addicting, not sure if they're art though

Yeah, the coffee and cat are giving "cozy" vibes, but the dragon and waterfall and castle are giving "fantasy adventure" vibes. Are we supposed to be curled up in bed with a laptop, or soaring through the air on a quest?

Giving one of these to a kid is such a hack for knowing your times tables. It's just fun to click up and down, so over time you just learn all of the numbers

2140

I mean, sure. Lots of things can piss off the locals. The guy who did Christchurch was pissed off for sure. So should we listen to the terrorists' complaints, and make sure we comply with their wishes?

110

Osama bin Laden did, he literally argued with the KSA about it. That's why he was initially placed on house arrest and eventually kicked out of the country; because he was upset that the Royals would invite American troops onto Saudi Arabian land

001

It's not just "others" though, it's literally everyone. Unless you can name your utopian society, then I honestly don't get where you're coming from with this indignant attitude that humans are gonna get up to some ill shit. "you Americans commit CRIME?! We don't do that where I'm from"

000

Can you name a single country on this planet that's been around for 200+ years with no problematic wars or genocides or ethnic cleansing or pogroms or anything? Like yeah, leave humanity alone long enough and we'll probably get around to doing something heinous. Is this news? Do you even disagree?

100

1. We didn't support Al Qaeda, we supported the Mujahideen 2. Osama bin Laden also supported the Mujahideen, so this argument makes zero sense in the first place as a whataboutism for his motivations

100

Oof, are you posting about Hasan? On a Thursday? 🫤 Wouldn't it be more productive to volunteer at a food bank, or go to the gym or something?

100

Well no, he's definitely wrong depending on what it means, because on a per person basis the US would have to kill literally billions to be in the same ballpark as Al Qaeda

101

If the US gets the blame for all deaths that occur post-invasion, even if it wasn't literally a US soldier who pulled the trigger, then how come Al Qaeda isn't also responsible for the knock-on effects of their terrorist attacks?

000

Osama bin Laden was a religious fanatic. His justifications for terrorism ranged from "infidels set foot in my holy land" to "Americans permit women to appear in advertisements". If you want to frame 9/11 as rational blowback, then idk why you wouldn't treat the Christchurch shooter the same way

0140

Again: Osama bin Laden was not mad at us for bombing the middle east. He's a Saudi, we're allies with the Saudis. He was part of the Mujahideen, we funded the Mujahideen. He wanted to bomb Saddam Hussein, we wanted to bomb Saddam Hussein. He was not mad over human rights or "the US bombing people"

1160

Yeah, like, is HE really the best messenger for your "criticism of Israel isn't inherently antisemitic" argument? You could make the exact same point without citing a dead religious bigot terrorist!

150

It's so obvious that it feels trite; don't shit-talk America, don't shit-talk our troops, and say that terrorism is bad. And yet, so many leftists want to buck this orthodoxy! Which I guess works fine if you just want social media clout, but this is obviously going to hurt you politically

1181

This is the weirdest thing with the whole "letter to America" and "America deserved 9/11" things. Like, if you want to criticize American foreign policy you have so many options available to you, in both subject and method. And yet so many leftists seem inclined to say "Osama was on to something..."

3261

I mean, if it's a comparison and you say "this side is worse", then you're necessarily saying "the other side is better"

180

Would you say that the Christchurch shooting was "blowback", and a response to the actions of the New Zealand government, and that their politicians share culpability for the response to their choices?

1260

Right... but Saudi Arabia is our ally. They invited us there. We've been allies of the Saudis since day 1. So a Saudi religious extremist could get mad at our presence if they want, but it's not exactly "blowback" or "deserved" to kill thousands of innocents as a response.

1220

When Hasan covered that terrorist attack at an arena in Moscow a couple of years ago, he didn't say anything about "blowback" or how Russia deserved it. He talked about how innocent civilians got hurt.

1237

You're putting "liberal" in quotes but then claiming that Kamala Harris wasn't part of the coalition... honestly have no clue where you're coming from here. But I'd assume that you have some kind of terminally online brainrot

000

Bro, Hasan justifies terrorism all the time. Literally the only time he condemns terrorism is when he's blaming the US or Israel for it. You cannot find a single clip over the past 10 years of Hasan saying "terrorism is always wrong". He instead likes to point out that Mandela was called a terrorist

000

No, I'm pretty sure the lady who literally worked for the Biden administration is more a part of "the coalition" than the leftist streamer who didn't even vote for Kamala Harris lmao

300

OK. I knew a guy who thought it was "for all intensive purposes"

010

Why is "liberal" in quotes lol Hasan isn't a liberal, he's never pretended to be one. Of course liberals would hate an illiberal streamer like Hasan, he's not part of the coalition! He doesn't want to defend our democracy

101

Lmao wtf are you talking about, it's the exact opposite. All of the mainstream headlines are "Famous Democrat streamer Hasan Piker thinks America is worse than Al Qaeda", and his fanboys are using the 'pound for pound' thing as a defense by citing "context"
