  • There was never a fig leaf. They already didn’t need to devote any attention to political cover, the USA already made it clear that it wouldn’t tolerate holding Israel or any of the Israeli politicians accountable in international courts.

    The difference between the two is purely in wording and absolutely immaterial. If anything, trump is being more honest about it.

    Trump is terrible for other reasons, but they’re both equal in this matter


  • how about his commitment to arm Israel with no strings attached? No humanitarian aid, no cease fires…

    Oh you mean exactly like right now?

    Anyone who thinks that orange man is an improvement is an idiot. But anyone who thinks Kamala would be better is also an idiot.

    Israel is already getting everything they could ever wish for. There is nothing that Trump could offer that they’re not already getting, including protection from the international community.

    Increased suffering?
    How can their suffering be increased more than it is now?

    Israel is already getting everything could have ever wished for. There is nothing trump could do to make that worse.

    There were other reasons to vote for Harris, but this wasn’t one.

    What will trump do to cause more Palestinian deaths?
    What COULD he do?

    Israel is already getting everything they wanted, and facing zero consequences or obstacles.

    I don’t disagree with you wrt American deaths, but that’s not what this post is about









  • I have nearly zero respect for the intellectual capacity of someone who thinks that female gender roles are perpetuated mainly by women, and especially little respect for people who think they’re above social conditioning and that it should be a simple matter for others to shrug it off. It shows a shocking lack of self awareness.
    I don’t think there is value in continuing this discussion with you.







  • If by “loses all meaning” you mean “loses significance” then there is some truth to that, but I leave it up to the general opinion of the people who are put at risk by that loss of significance to decide when it becomes a problem.

    Realistically I think that it was probably meant as a half joke, as in its funny in how unserious it is, but also a real criticism in how pervasive this kind of toxic behavior is.
    I think that the reply, that men aren’t involved in it, is taking an willfully ignorant stance.
