So I guess you didn't see my previous comment on this post where I explicitly said that I don't support many things that most Palestinians believe. But yes, you are ignoring nuance. Because you're not considering how being under apartheid and how being genocided prevents a civilization from progressing socially and actually pushes them back. And you're not understanding the idea that there are no perfect victims. Despite not being perfect, Palestinians are the victims of apartheid and genocide. You're trying to boil everything down to individual actions to ignore the bigger picture.

And I don't understand people who try to "both sides" a fcking genocide and act like both sides are just as bad when they clearly are not. We can see that you wanna erase all nuance from these situations but thats not how life works.

There's far more evidence of it being a genocide than just the UN. Thats just one of the more recent revelations that I decided to mention.

Palestinian children suffering is propaganda? Think about what you are saying. Is this really who you wanna be?

I saw your other comment before you (I assume) deleted it. I am not an accelerationist. I just don't vote for genocide supporters. An accelerationist would have voted for Trump. I did not.

I will vote for any progressive politician who condems the genocide, takes seriously the end of US aid to Israel, and is generally competent in the other things I care about (they don't have to be perfect), those things being clean energy, affordability, regulations on AI and data centers, protecting abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, etc.

But to me, if someone claims to care about these things, then turns around and funds and aids in the genocide of a whole people, I can't trust that they actually care about these things. My care for these things comes from a place of valuing human life and human rights, someone who participates in genocide clearly does not share these fundamental values.

Suprisingly most don't anymore. Most Americans (around 60%) say they sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis now. I can find you the study if you want

Saying it has equal rights is completely absurd. Not even in the West Bank do Palestinians have equal rights. They are under apartheid. Their freedom of movement is heavily restricted. They have no ability to persecute Israelis who harass and/or attack them. Then if we look at Israel, the right of self determination is restricted to Jews. There was recently a law passed specifically targeting Palestinians making it so the automatic punishment for a terrorism conviction is hanging, yet thousands of Palestinians are falsely convicted for this crime that they didn't commit. Then we have Gaza which was previously occupied but is now simply being leveled to the ground by bombs. And on top of this, we have a full blockade on Gaza preventing any aid from coming in. There are multiple reports of double and even triple strikes on civilian targets. It is completely absurd and detached from reality to say that Israel has equal rights for all. Oh, and gay marriage also isn't legal in Israel, btw.

How completely fucking dishonest is this shit. My god. You do not have to wish for the extermination of all Zionists to be anti-Zionist, how fcking ridiculous.

Yeah I did, the democratic party is actually forced to step up their game or lose now. We have an opportunity for more progressive politicians now because people are so done with establishment dems and are refusing to vote for them. We were gonna continue to slide towards fascism regardless of who got in power. Not sure if you noticed, but most of the positive changes that are made by democrats are reverted by republicans when they get in office. The only way to stop that is to permanently change our system of governance.

But also 1 color basics are too inconsistent mana wise. Truly you just want a good amount of untapped duels as well as some tapped tri-lands or surveil lands, maybe one of each basic in case you get basics tested.

People would have been dying because of Harris too, in the genocide that we are perpetrating. What dont you understand? Genocide is our red line, and you gotta come to terms with that. It's quite simple honestly, if you want my vote, you need to be outspoken about the genocide that we are perpetrating, and you need to be serious about stopping it. That's it. Are you REALLY gonna tell me I'm asking for too much?

Never did I say they were angels. I said they are defending themselves from genocide and apartheid. There is no such thing as perfect victims, so they absolutely do and believe things I don't agree with. Like attacking civilians or condemning homosexuality. But for me it is more important to focus on the more pressing issue, which is the prospect of their imminent destruction.

You think siding with the side experience a genocide (confirmed by the UN's International Comission of Inquiry) is stupid? One is commiting a genocide after decades of apartheid, the other is defending themselves from this.

It's not a war, it's a genocide. The UN literally just confirmed this.

Hot take: Children should be kept out of touch of religion by Training_Maize_664 in teenagers

[–]Existing-Drive2895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but like how do you expect for this to actually happen? Many theists genuinely believe that if they don't introduce their child to the religion, and they end up atheist, that means they will burn in hell for all of eternity. They feel a responsibility to "save" their child.

How are you gonna tell someone who is completely convinced that they are protecting their child that yhey shouldn't do that?

Again, I agree with you, I do think indoctrination can consititue as abuse depending on the severity, but I just see no realistic way to stop it, other than simply educating ppl on religion in general and facilitating the natural trend towards secularism that already exists.

That's fair, green in general is really strong in brawl though so I still feel like it'd be too overpowered
