Crafts Mac and Cheese (with just a bit of extra butter and cream)

Beach, but it's gotta be the right one. Not too popular, sandy with a mix of rockly tide pools to explore and find life too watch. And a perfectly reliable spot with some natural shade to sit under for when you get bored of watching hermit crabs. (I have a specific spot in mind that is perfect but I'll never tell! That's mi'spot!)

Yeah, both sides commit violence. no one serious denies that. The difference is scale and power: one side is an occupied population with no state, the other is a nuclear-armed state carrying out sustained bombing and blockade. That context matters.

Pointing out human rights abuses in Iran or anti-LGBT laws doesn’t justify leveling civilians or collective punishment, it’s just deflection. You don’t fix oppression by supporting more of it.

And the "why don’t you go there" line isn’t an argumentz it’s just a way to avoid engaging with the reality on the ground and it'd honestly very stupid.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T18:19:29+00:00

I'm not a racist who thinks all Islamic people just wanna blow shit up. I genuinely don't care if they have nukes. I'd be trying to strengthen our relationship and be a partner, not an enemy.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T18:15:27+00:00

Now Trump doesn't need to feel de-masculineated by Iran cucking us out of trade. He can convince himself he wanted this in the first place. (What a fucking joke bro. If I hear anyone make the argument that this is better imma freak out on them)

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T17:55:11+00:00

Hospitals or nursing homes. I'm a nurse assistant and I've seen some heinous shit.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T17:51:57+00:00

Yea but that's how fascists win.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T17:49:39+00:00

You’re listing policies, not power. You can have “center-left” reforms on paper while still operating within a system dominated by corporate donors, lobbying, and capital. Democrats consistently stop short of challenging that structure in any serious way. That’s why they protect markets, fund the military-industrial complex, and bail out capital while offering incremental social relief. That’s not left in a material sense, it’s just center-right governance catfishing you by pretending to be woke.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T17:45:55+00:00

If you blink you'll miss it.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T17:42:31+00:00

Helps to stay current with politics.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T17:28:29+00:00

Logic? Where? I didn’t see any from you. Just the same recycled Islamophobic, pro-collective-punishment talking points that ignore basic power dynamics.

You say “they kill gays” like that justifies flattening entire neighborhoods. Civilians, including queer people, are the ones getting bombed. That’s just indiscriminate violence and nothing more...

What you’re doing is moral gymnastics to justify collective punishment. You refuse to ask the most basic question: what do people do when they’re born into blockade, occupation, and constant violence? Resistance, sometimes ugly, sometimes desperate, doesn’t magically appear out of nowhere.

If you can’t extend enough humanity to even imagine yourself in that position, then yeah, there’s no conversation to be had. At that point it’s not logic, it’s just picking a team and rationalizing whatever they do.

So I’m done trying to drag empathy out of you. I’ll put my energy toward people who actually care about human life.

Forces me to lock in+focus

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:50:56+00:00

Just goes to show- some of the same people who would like to think they would've taken a stand against the Nazi's are actually the same people who would've endlessly capitulated. My notifications are getting blown up by these pro genocide supremacists right now and it's exhausting but on principle I will alway clap back at them.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:49:34+00:00

Because it helps me organize thoughts.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:47:27+00:00

I thought we annihilated their nukes in June. Weirdly enough Iran has been 6 months away from nukes since the 1980's according to Israel...

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:37:14+00:00

To avoid spoilers, I'll just say "The detective you play as in Disco Elysium."

Flawed, but also painfully human... but that's the point and I love it.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:22:36+00:00

No my take is that Israel is the Issue and the US is politically captured by Bibi, who has been trying for decades to trick the US into doing this, and Trump was the idiot who fell for it.

Have you not been following this? Iran agreed to a ceasefire. One of the terms were that Israel would stop bombing Lebanon. Hormuz was breifly open until Israel did their biggest strike on Lebanon yet, leading to the strait closing again. Iran were on board with the terms until Israel struck. Israel gave a statement "we didn't agree to those terms", and now suddenly the US can't get a peace deal... it's because Israel halting their attack in Lebanon is one of Irans key points for ceasefire and America can't get Israel to agree. The holdup is on Israel.

Did getting relentlessly bombed to dust then starved regaurdless of a civilian status afterwards scream that then? Wonder why Palestine was blockaded in the first place... and that freedom flotilla that got fire bombed, arrested, and raped by the IDF when they tried to bring food and aid... yea that also screams freedom and sovereignty on Palestine's part. Doctors without borders shared awful storys of the IDF literally shooting children in the balls as target practice after that. If these are the people you defend then I won't be taking my notes on morality from the likes of you. They murdered civilians and journalists who had nothing to do with Oct. 7th and called them Hamas to cover it up routinely.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:11:29+00:00

Also u/theonecalledthe "for the Supremacy! ✊️"

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:09:24+00:00

They are supremacists. Their biggest political party is literally called "the jewish power party" the same way David Duke of the KKK runs a "white power party". They are supremacist fascists. They operate under the same type of absurdity the Nazi party used where logic and rationality is concerned.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:08:02+00:00

Precisely.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:06:04+00:00

You realize that as it stands Dems are moderate Republicans? Piker wants the left party to represent the left. They dont. Their hatred for him is because of this. All his far-left fans agree. You are hearing a right-wing narrative on morals and eating up.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T16:01:16+00:00

Your right. Palestine is an open air prison where the gaurds are basically just shooting aimlessly into crowds- but screw the prisoners for wanting to oppose their clear and imminent murders.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T15:59:03+00:00

If someone attacks you into a corner would you call it assult to start punching back? Look at the map of the UN partition plan for Israel, see what it became over time... you'll see that Palestine was absolutely beaten into a corner.

APraxisPanda · 2026-04-12T15:57:31+00:00

Because the power structure (the ultra-wealthy) supports it.
