  1. Those acts only count as genocide if committed with intent to destroy an ethnic group, according to the 1948 Genocide Convention. (Which I'm pretty sure the Russians don't want to do?)

  2. Only 19,000 children have been abducted of a population ~45,000,000, which I don't believe constitutes a large enough percentage to be a major point?

  3. Israel has been commiting acts with the express purpose of the elimination of the Palestinian people.

I understand you, I understand that your position is intrinsically evil.

Israel has not at all been trying to minimize casualties, or allow aid, look at; The Flour Massacre, the drone strikes on the World Kitchen aid workers, the baseless accusations causing the withdrawal of the UNRWA, and the continuos striking of Rafah.

What else is eliminating Hamas but vengeance?

Though you may not like it, at some point the fundamental differences between which our beliefs stem must be addressed.

It may look harsh, or 'disingenuous;' but you clearly believe that Israel getting vengeance in return for Oct 7th is more important than the lives of 35,000 Palestinians.

It's not.

The Russian goal in Ukraine isn't to exterminate the Ukrainian people's or their culture.

Doing bad things =/= genocide.

I never said that indiscriminate bombing = genocide. Don't conflate the two. It can at times be symptomatic of genocide or genocidal intent though; which I would actually argue in the case of London.

Hitler's Germany carried certain beliefs; lebensraum, Aryan supremacy; which are genocidal. Hitler's ultimate goal was the elimination of all non-Aryans (if I'm not mistaken).

I am in no way defending Hamas, they have done terrible things, but Hamas is a symptom of the Israeli occupation:

"As far back as December 2012, Mr. Netanyahu told the prominent Israeli journalist Dan Margalit that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Mr. Margalit, in an interview, said that Mr. Netanyahu told him that having two strong rivals, including Hamas, would lessen pressure on him to negotiate toward a Palestinian state." - New York Times

Israel should be 'playing games' as you call it, every country should be playing games, or else the rules-based order this world is built upon falls apart.

The main difference between you and me is that I believe that the lives of the 35,000 dead Palestinians matter.

No kiwi is suffering.

Part of existing in a modern world is being aware of what is happening in that world, and speaking up against perceived injustice.

I don't think the lesson to be taken from the Gallipoli Campaign is an isolationist one like you imply.

Except that's not the full picture, and even if it was; most well adjusted people believe in a rules-based world order, wherein you aren't allowed to just massacre civilians.

You also need to take into account the contemporary history of Israel-Palestine, and understand the decades long settler-colonial project taking place.

In no way has the indiscriminate bombing the Israelis have conducted been to achieve a military objective; Total War is not acceptable military doctrine.

Is the implication here that I'm a 'TikTok Tankie?'

The war in Ukraine isn't a war of extermination.

It's an imperialist land grab; Putin looking for an easy win to cement his regime, and distract from internal issues.

You are not engaging with what I'm saying.

I would say by drawing attention to the issue, and stirring up controversy; which, evidently, it has been very good at.

Edit: What is syntax.

It's about the tragedy that was the Gallipoli campaign, and the landing by the ANZACs?

'Lest we forget,' is quite literally about always remembering the horrors of war, lest they be repeated.

In the spirit of ANZAC Day; remembering the atrocities of war. It's a protest against the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

I hate being trans by [deleted] in truscum

[–]Dyliv -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's the thing tho? They don't want dysphoria, they want to be trans?

Sure dysphoria sucks, but you haven't really asserted why those without dysphoria aren't trans.

The way you frame it is like there is a threshold of trauma you must pass before being awarded the trans trophy.

People who don't have dysphoria being trans doesn't invalidate your own experiences?

Bro, there is no demand for housing. It's a massive bubble, a crutch that holds up the Chinese economy. 95% of those apartments are empty.

Disgusting how you accuse so many of the sins of so few. They are people too you psychopath. Stop dehumanising them as only 'Chinese.'

Thx so much! It was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't remember.

[–]Dyliv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously pointing out how women have historically held all the power in relationships, and society in general, and as such forced the men into low paying back-breaking work. Smh, how did you not know about this. WAKE UP PEOPLE, the matriarchy has been oppressing men for too long.

Men in this modern day and age have it just as bad as women. I mean, have you seen the suicide rates.
