A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 13hBc I guess I hunger for Discourse, hot take: if we define genocide other than by numbers & systemic impact at its core the true "cutting-off way" is in essence, genocidal, because it seems to destroy a people (in part) rather than an army unit in the field. We just aren't comfortable calling it so. 1133

A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 22hThis particular habit of Very Online Leftists is infuriating, not least because Mamdani, being not an idiot, ostensibly wants an end to Gazan AND Israeli deaths. It's not about real conviction for the people who do this, it's about social permission to engage in bad faith contempt. Like fash. 1335
A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 22hOr to reduce this to a pithy one-liner because that's what The Youngs understand these days: Instead of *ending* the I/P sectarian conflict, a growing portion of the left now want "the right people" to WIN it. 310819
A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 01/10/2026There is absolutely no outcome where more people dropping bombs in the Levant results in FEWER deaths. If your problem is that America didn't go to war with Israel, your problem is that not enough Israelis were dying. So say that. 37715
A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This needs to be discussed more, imo: one of the greatest successes of the pro-Palestinian radical fringe has been to convince people mutual understanding or a view of the I/P conflict as a sectarian conflict are "hasbara," & to immediately reject it in favor of the Palestinian perspective. 413332

A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 26/09/2026This is the essential problem in a nutshell I would argue, demagogic discourse parasitizes the intellectual labor of its enemies.
