Controversial opinion but I think it's about time that someone exposes themselves to radiation, dresses up in some kind of animal themed outfit, develops a theme song for themselves, and actually does something about the billionaires who are ruining the world.

I started a job representing exploited workers this week. I'm so very grateful and proud. This is what I was put on earth to do.

You, surely an alt account for noun verber, just lied about me. Mere seconds ago.

This entire thread is a pivot from my support for Palestine to a baseless accusation of hypocrisy over Ukraine. So get back to the issue. Why can't you just say you oppose the genocide?

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Wow that would be a crazy thing for me to have said. Surely you have screenshots to prove it? Btw do you support the murder of Hind Rajab?

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Do you oppose the genocide of Palestine?

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Do you believe Palestinians should be given the tools to fight the genocide and illegal occupation?

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I believed then and now that the invasion is a war crime and Ukraine has a right to self governance and self determination. I don't believe any of you value human life or oppose Israel. You're clearly distracting by any and every means possible.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
You're distracting again. At the time I was accused of having a "double standard" do you think noun gerber knew a single thing about my views? He certainly didn't post proof of them! Instead he *pretended i don't support Ukraine* and accused me of being insincere about Palestine because of it.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Logging onto the nazi app to search mattyberad so you can impeach my alleged insincere opposition to Palestinian genocide? Really normal and trustworthy behavior, I am sure you are a deeply concerned ukrainian rights activist and not an agent of fascism!

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Your proof is I held an opinion 4 years ago? Do you think that guy (probably also you on an alt account, nobody is this dishonest/insane) found this post before he repeatedly accused me of being anti-Ukraine to distract from a thread about Palestine? If so, why not link it then?

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Nor is it even a moral failing to be more disgusted by my government *actively sending bombs to Israel which will be dropped on children* than by my government being too friendly with Putin or not giving Ukraine enough aid. You might have different moral priorities but that doesnt make you "correct"
200
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
The guy blocked me without ever once quoting a post where I said what he is FURIOUS at me for saying, and then an unrelated guy replied to a point I never made. I refuse to believe any of you actually think it's a moral failing to protest for Palestine and not other issues.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I rarely ask this but honestly are you a bot? A paid troll? It would be exceptionally easy to link the post where I was anti Ukraine if such a post existed.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I posted 0 lies in this thread. You've posted a dozen, often which are directly disproven by the post they're replying to.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Now you are making up that I have somehow threatened to withhold my support or change positions because you are mean and stupid and getting mad at me for that! And I am certain you will reply to this by making up something else to get mad at me for.
000
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Again you are just making things up. I never once said it was conditional or that I didn't support Ukraine. You *made up the idea that I did* then got really mad at me about the imagined hypocrisy and then *made up* that I think protest never works and got really mad at me about that.
200
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
If the ultimate outcome of this is "it's good to care about both" then sure! You approached this entire thing by accusing me of being a hypocrite with 0 evidence that I was and then repeatedly lied about what my posts said. Waste of time.

Great why aren't you donating?

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
It's clear you do not actually believe that failing to protest every injustice on earth is inexcusable. Believing that would be absurd on its face. Instead this whole argument has been a way for you to attack me for opposing Israel without having to engage on the merits.
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
This is not a reply to my argument at all and is, in fact, a direct lie about what I said. You also accuse me of whataboutism which is *literally* what you are doing here. I said I oppose Israel and you said, almost word for word, "what about Russia?"
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Supposing that protesting for more aid to Ukraine would be effective at either changing minds or protecting ukranian lives, do you ask people who protest for abortion rights why they don't protest ICE too? It is ok for Palestine to be more important to individuals than Ukraine, and vice versa.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
All those things are ways of pressuring our government. Many of them worked! More people than ever oppose Israel.
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
People in other threads said it about my post. I didn't pay attention to whether you (they) were saying it or merely implying it. In either case you're wrong on the merits; zionists have abandoned what it means to be human in favor of supporting Israel unconditionally. That remains true.
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
It was hidden as "rude." I didn't even get a notification as a result. But here is my reply: you have to be illiterate or lying to think i called anyone "subhuman."
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
? It's a moral issue of what my government is supporting and what I can do to prevent it. Of course it's wrong when Russia does it. But my government isn't giving them the bombs. What would a protest in the US against Russia achieve?
300
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Because our government isn't funding Russia. Protests have aims, general disapproval of something your government already opposes isn't enough cause to organize.
200
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
You have to make up positions you imagine i hold so you can continue supporting Israel? Ok
200
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Manifestly false; you are either illiterate or a bad actor.

Entirely unforgivable for them to handwaive away their failure to manually review the agent transcripts. Very lazy.

You'll be shocked and dismayed to learn who the strongest proponents of our alliances with the gulf dictatorships are. You continue to distract and lie because you know Israel is committing a genocide with direct US support and want it to continue. So you'd rather talk about me or the UAE.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
What does the word "inhumane" mean? What does it mean for someone to act "inhumanely?"
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
I never said I oppose Israel because it gets "more money." I said my opposition to Israel is far more important and meaningful than my opposition to Iran's government or the horrors in Sudan because my government and taxes *intentionally support the crimes committed by Israel* and not the others

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
I think if your sources support gutting USAID it should be questioned whether they are reliable sources on USAID. But again even at the worst this is money unintentionally going to bad actors with not US political support, which is very different from congress intentionally giving bombs to Israel.
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Is this your position too, from that piece?: "The Trump administration’s order to freeze foreign aid programs has delivered a hearty shock to the bloated humanitarian aid industry." I do not trust this source. If I did, nobody supports this. Many powerful people support giving bombs to Israel.
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Do you have any evidence that USAID dollars went to hamas? Again you lie about me because you can't respond on the merits.
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Again you're lying about what I've said or believe. I don't support hamas, not least because $0 of my taxes go to crimes commited by hamas. Unfortunately I can't say the same about Israel.
100
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
You can't reply to the substance so you're lying about what I said. I did not use the word subhuman. A literate or honest reader would understand that I noted you'd lost your humanity, ie were not acting humanely, due to your support for the ongoing genocide.
200
MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
They abandoned their humanity when they defended genocide. Literacy requires the ability to read words in a context.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
It is indeed bad that elected democrats have participated.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I mean ok but I don't think most people's position is that it's fine to lie about people to advance your political agenda, especially when that agenda is support for a genocide

Did you defend Jimmy Kimmel? Why?

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
You cannot respond to any of our points so you continue to lie about what we believe.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
To abandon one's humanity, or to cease to be human in this context, has the exact same meaning as "humane." That is why "human" is the root of "humane," and why villains are said to have "lost their humanity."

I do not care about Hasan, I only ever watch/hear about him when this stuff happens. But if they are willing to outright lie about what he said and people say "oh well he's kind of a jerk" they will just lie about someone you actually do care about next.

MattyBeRad @mattyberad.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Hasan did not say that American jews need to be more vocally opposing israel or that doing so will protect them from Genocide. I know this because I can read. He said the same thing that Hannah Arendt and Ezra Klein said -- that the *people insisting Israel represents all jews* are creating danger.

Unfortunately everyone on the timeline is pretending to be illiterate today, or lying. Hard to say.

I have seen and read the clip. It is explicitly a stand against antisemitism and correctly notes that insisting all Jewish people support the crimes of Israel exposes Jewish people to undeserved danger and hatred. Have you read it? It has been dismaying to see trumpian fake news spread by Democrats.
