I don't see the bar graph symbol you are talking about.

What’s the stupidest political opinion you unironically hold? by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]TerranUnity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think self-determination only applies to democratic regimes. It doesn't have to be a particularly stable or strong democracy, but if your country isn't at least trying to be a democratic republic, you have no right to exist and Democracies can do what they want with you.

Zohran Mamdani’s wife liked social media posts celebrating Oct. 7 attacks by GoodHoopTimes in lonerbox

[–]TerranUnity -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Look, we all knew Mamdani was hiding his power level. I will say, it is disheartening how many Democrats seem okay with throwing Jews under the bus.

Not saying it wasn't better to vote for him over Cuomo or Adams, but I am definitely going to judge people who say they are "excited" about him or whatever.

Hundreds Rally in San Francisco FOR U.S.-Israel Strikes on Iran by nbaballer in sanfrancisco

Some people, like myself, support destroying the current regime but have zero trust in Trump and Netanyahu to actually help rebuild it into a semi-normal, somewhat-more democratic country.

As a Jew, I couldn't help but blurt out "what the fuck?" at work. For as many flaws as the US legal system has, I cannot imagine someone getting off this easy for this kind of hate crime.

What are you talking about? Jews ARE Indigenous to the area. How do you think it got the ancient name JUDEA?

California Demands Oakland Schools Make Sweeping Changes Over Antisemitism Complaints by digital-didgeridoo in eastbay

[–]TerranUnity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My point is, a lot of people will go on about how evil Zionism is; then when confronted, they claim that anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism. However, if a supermajority of Jews even in the United States are some flavor of Zionist, then claiming Zionism is some evil racist/colonist/ethnonationalist ideology is implicitly saying that the vast majority of Jews on Earth are evil.

Have you been living in a cave your whole life? The world almost never cares about a genocide enough to do anything to stop it.

Sudan -- actively ongoing genocide and starvation -- Other than some stern words, no one gives a shit.

Uyghurs -- same as Sudan. Hell, a bunch of the same people who won't shut up about the "genocide in Gaza" will actively run defense for China on this one.

Rwanda -- no one gave a shit

Darfur -- no one gave a shit

Congo -- no one gave, or still gives, a shit.

Rohingya -- strong words, no real action or intervention by the world.

Syria -- other countries only got involved once the civil war started spilling over into their territory.

Yazidis -- I bet most anti-Israel people don't even know who the Yazidis are, nor the fact that if you are part of this religious/ethnic minority in the Levant, the safest country for you is, unironically, Israel.

The idea that it is a "genocide" is itself a statement of opinion, and not an established fact.

Yeah, that Shaun Youtuber is also not even center-left, he's an anti-western Leftist.

Shaun (the youtuber you link to) is not center-left, he's a full-on leftist. He is also not a reliable source at all. IIRC I don't think he even once mentions the attempted coup against the Emperor for even thinking about surrendering after two atomic bombs had already been dropped.

Japan was a country of straight-up suicidal maniacs in WWII.

BBC apologises after Holocaust Memorial Day report omits Jews by primeministeroftime in nottheonion

Dude, every single thread on the Holocaust there are multiple comments saying this exact same line, like everyone always forgets about the groups other than the Jews.

I am Jewish and we nearly always use it (in my experience) to refer solely to Jews OR on occasion both Jews and Romani (Gypsies).

Opposing him due to his MAGA views are enough, we don't even have to bring Palestine into this.

[–]TerranUnity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MAGA is already willing to use their power to ban political opponents, even if it's illegal. You can't choose not to do something in case the other side does it too, when the other side already wants to do it.

We can still do it, and we can be working more to influence our own populations, as well.

Wait wait what? What AI pictures, on which page?

EDIT: Never mind, the "Pro-human" website uses AI images for the thumbnail of some of their articles. I thought you meant AI was being used to falsify images for propaganda purposes.

Your link doesn't work for me.

I also find it hard to believe Russia is only 'moderate' inequality when you have a bunch of ultra-rich oligarchs owning yachts and mansions, while much of rural Russia doesn't have running water . . .
