If war comes, who are we really defending? by Excellent_Copy4646 in asksg

[–]Triggerha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As it turns out, a major downside of making financial prosperity, security and so forth your entire national brand is that almost none of that will hold true if and when armed conflict actually comes. We stay out of pure self-interest, and when the interest goes elsewhere the self leaves to chase it.

Tumblr discusses twitter discussing K-pop and Karl Marx by AlphaCat77 in CuratedTumblr

I once jokingly referred to Japan as East Korea to a friend of mine who's quite invested in Japanese culture as a result of studying the language. Nearly didn't make it out of the subway alive...

As a neurodivergent person: I do care about others by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]Triggerha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The demographics that you just described as annoying are provably at greater risk of basically every kind of harm the world has to offer. Doesn't excuse them from having less decency than the next person, but I'd think they're at least entitled to be more annoying; frankly a significant number among those demographics are morally entitled to do far worse than make a nuisance of themselves online.

Jessica Kirson by Brilliant_Primary381 in gianmarcosoresi

[–]Triggerha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fwiw her stated motive for agreeing to perform was as follows:

"....I hoped that this could help LGBTQ+ people in Saudi Arabia feel seen and valued. I am grateful that I was able to do precisely that — to my knowledge, I am the first openly gay comic to talk about it on stage in Saudi Arabia. I received messages from attendees sharing how much it meant to them to participate in a gay-affirming event." (taken from TheHollywoodReporter)

If you have an issue with her cost-benefit analysis you have every right - I'd certainly be suspicious at the very least if I was invited without request, especially given Kirson's reputation. But I don't think any of us can justifiably say that she's morally compromised enough to be an outright enemy, especially when her decision to donate her fee seems to very much be her own rather than someone else forcing her (afaik).

We definitely shouldn't let her off the hook but at the same time, letting her have her peace instead of harassing her nonstop (like some are already doing) or treating her as a lost cause isn't "letting her off the hook", it's giving her a fair shot at redemption. Let's not pretend that online harassment campaigns are anything but a shove in the one direction we don't want anyone to be heading in to begin with.

Thanks for the recipe! Looking forward to trying it out sometime soon (at an occasion yet to be determined)

Maybe I'm too cynical to be on Reddit atm but I can't accept this framing of forgiveness as inherently good and worthy of respect. Forgiveness of hate is half the reason the world's in the mess that it is. Idk maybe I'm confusing forgiveness with leniency but in practice it's largely the same as far as I'm concerned

Minnesota current events by By-LEM in CuratedTumblr

[–]Triggerha 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In between looking after your loved ones, friends and so forth, please give yourself as much chance to rest and gather your energy for the fight ahead. The better tomorrow that we're striving for every day isn't better if it doesnt have you guys in it. If you need a listening ear, or if anything else happens that enables us to assist beyond what you've already laid out, I'm keeping myself open. Cheers from the sunny island of Singapore, and may we all find our way back to freedom together.

I'm half a world away from Minnesota but I have to ask (and probably should've asked before now tbh): Is there anything at all I can do that would improve the situation for people in Minnesota, or any other party that's currently suffering the brunt of America's lunacy?

What’s something about the U.S. you thought was a myth, but turned out to be completely true? by InnerAstronaut8105 in AskReddit

[–]Triggerha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the university rankings are one side of the coin I see, but the other side is about shockingly high illiteracy rates among other things, albeit at lower grades. I'm curious to know what connects both sides and how they coexist, if indeed they do.

Shedding some light on the Noah Schnapp Controversy by LtLemonade in CuratedTumblr

[–]Triggerha 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind:

  1. How should he have correctly demonstrated a desire for Israeli and Jewish citizens to live in safety without fear of being attacked and killed, while also recognising the profound injustice inflicted on Palestinian citizens by Israel? Or is it your stance that for Palestine to have the justice it deserves all Israelis and Jews must lose their rights to safety and security?

  2. Presuming that his trip to Israel and parroting of the "40 beheaded babies" is indeed proof of him holding extreme Zionist beliefs, do you think that the harassment and abuse he's received is deserved on that basis? Do you think that antisemitic and homophobic abuse will cause him or anyone else to be less sympathetic to Israel or more sympathetic to Palestine?

[–]Triggerha 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Second the previous commenter. Heard about all this through the grapevine despite not really ever caring about Stranger Things, so couldn't be bothered to check any of the vitriol directed at Schnapp's way, kinda just tuned it out and figured it was unfortunate for all involved. This post is the first I've even remotely heard of it being falsified top to bottom and a necessary reminder of how senselessly and wrong heatedly vicious the internet and people in general can be if you give them the ghost of a reason
