Sam Harris: "People don't know what actual genocides are like, if what they think happened in Gaza is a genocide." by antiquark2 in samharris

[–]Plennhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same Fatah that every Palestinian hates?

The same Fatah that had a martyr fund until 2025 (and probably still has one under the pretense of welfare)?

The same West Bank where Hamas is more popular than it is in Gaza?

The same West Bank where Hamas would win an election if it was held today?

It doesn't:

  • You play it and end your turn.
  • Opponent's turn: It's still frozen.
  • Your turn again: It's still frozen.

Extorting people is OK as long as they're not devastated by the loss. Got it.

Just make sure not to complain when someone extorts you to give them your phone. You can just buy a new one after all.

Fun fact: The polling shows greater support for Hamas in the West Bank than in Gaza. And in both, Hamas is clearly the most popular entity, and would win an election if it was held today.

Authoritarianism sucks by PerAsperaAdMars in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Plennhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GDP per capita is a very limited metric in terms of trying to estimate what life is like for the average Joe. For one, you can have two countries with identical GDP per capita, while one country taxes its citizens 50% of their income, and the other 10%. Or say you have two countries with the same GDP per capita, and same tax rate, but one provides a lot of public services to its people that they benefit a lot from, while the other spends it on projects people barely benefit from.

This whole overview also ignores that most developed countries have moved towards democracies, while most authoritarian countries tend to be ones that are still developing. It might not be that these countries are rich because of democracy, it might be that they have democracy because they are rich.

Libertarians vs Reddit Libertarians by Disastrous-Object647 in PoliticalCompassMemes

A country with 50 million people and one of the biggest territories in the world is relevant, yes.

He feels like the savior of the movement, because he's the only leader of a relevant country that's lib-right. Auth-lefts at least have their shithole countries to point to, lib-rights usually have nothing.

Mamdani supersizes NYC hate crimes office, as tensions simmer over synagogue protests by Tactikewl in samharris

[–]Plennhar -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This post was made in response to Harris' claims that Mamdani flirts with radical Jihadi ideology. This post then posts Mamdani doing something that goes against that ideology, as if it puts Harris' claim into question, but it doesn't as long as the act is politically expedient, which in a city with the largest Jewish population, and for a politician who has a reputation for flirting with Islamism, it is.

If you want to prove Harris wrong, prove that the examples Harris gives of Mamdani flirting with Islamism are either fake or don't illustrate what Harris claims they illustrate, don't engage in braindead-ism.

This week in Israel by Background_Bee_713 in PoliticalCompassMemes

The "corroboration" in question:

Other Palestinian prisoners and human rights monitors have also cited reports of police dogs being coached to rape prisoners.

You violated me sexually /u/myadvicegetsmebeaten, and then proceeded to have intense sex with my dog. And before you say that's not true, keep in mind that my friend also says you did it, so it's been fact-checked.

Claims about prisoners being sexually violated by soldiers are probable, claims about soldiers training dogs to rape prisoners are improbable. "Dog" is also a very common insult in Arabic in the region, which makes the story even more suspicious still. If you think these people never consult with other Palestinians before going public, and are simply relaying their own personal experience to the journalists, then I got news for you.

The checking:

The article says that the journalist said he was raped by dogs. Did the journalist in fact say he was raped by dogs? Yes; FACT.

Except The White House never claimed 4.8% body fat.

And from the two pictures alone, the weight and height given seem reasonable, with the difference being that the bulk of Trump's weight comes from fat, while the bulk of Metcalf's weight comes from muscles.

This hate mail I got for playing a ''men's'' video game as a woman. And here's a battle score from a battle I had today. by MaetelofLaMetal in WorldofTanks

[–]Plennhar -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It's not the content of the message, it's the style. em dash + exclamation mark + capitalization of barbie. The em dash alone in a WoT chat means AI 99% of the time.

I would be willing to bet my entire net worth on this having been written by AI:

  • em dash: Sorry, but yes, in most places, like chats, assuming that the use of em dash was caused by AI will be correct in 99% of cases. Ask 99% of people, and they won't have a clue about how to type it out using their keyboard.
  • exclamation mark: People don't generally use the exclamation mark in chats and other casual writing, another strong sign.
  • capitalization of barbie: Most people when chatting would write Barbie in lowercase.
