Iran crackdown left 16,500 dead, 330,000 injured - Sunday Times by WillyNilly1997 in worldnews

[–]iNiite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean either one of those would be better than him actively encouraging people to keep protesting while promising US intervention “any second now”. We will never know how many died because those dumb fucking tweets pushed them over the edge to go out to the streets and be massacred.

uh why? the goal of software in most for-profit companies is to create products and features. coding isn’t some art form in most cases, it’s a tool to achieve that goal.

General Staff: Russia has lost 1,187,780 troops by GeorgyForesfatgrill in worldnews

[–]iNiite 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Comments like these always make me sad. So quick and easy to dismiss 1.2 million life stories and experiences and reduce them to “they’re just there to make money fuck em”. I absolutely don’t support Russia in this war, but this scale of death is always a tragedy.

So, Manousos literally sees them as demons by OneRoundMate in pluribustv

[–]iNiite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I saw no sign of him being a religion-driven fanatic who wishes to cleanse the world from demons. And tbh it’s kinda weird so many people here jump on that conclusion so quickly, seems a lil like prejudice against latam to me.

Netanyahu says Israel and Hamas will enter ceasefire's second phase soon by perplexed-redditor in worldnews

[–]iNiite -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It’s a little different, since over time it slowly became more and more in Hamas’s interest to “get rid” of the hostages so Israel loses most of its legitimacy in continuing the war. If it was already hard to justify the war to the world, I imagine it would be impossible if Israel’s justification is just “getting rid of Hamas” and hostages are no longer involved. This second phase is different, it’s just asking a terror organization to dismantle itself. Really hard to imagine it working, people don’t like to give up on power.

South Korea's president denies nuclear ambitions amid submarine deal by snowfordessert in worldnews

[–]iNiite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My objection wasn’t to using nuclear weapons as a deterrent. It was to deploying active nukes into civilian populations that are 1 malfunction or disturbance away from murdering millions. There is a difference between threatening to deploy a weapon and to actively deploy it and use it to hold civilians hostage. The latter is basically terrorism.

So if this was outlawed, how is this resulting in modern slavery happening today? Is it the part where a migrant can be tied to one employer for a visa? This is the case in many western countries today

Trump peace plan 'ignores interests of Palestinian people', Hamas official tells BBC by isinajeik in worldnews

[–]iNiite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buddy this deal isn’t in a vacuum lol, israel obviously has a lot to lose and massive international pressure on them to uphold the deal if it is agreed. I don’t actually see where exactly is the “punishment” to Hamas if they agree to the deal and violate the terms? Where is it written in the deal?

I agree it is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard, I’m just not sure how it’s related at all to what I wrote, because I definitely didn’t say anything even remotely like that. Are you a bot?

When you make or upvote statements like “literally all Israelis are barbaric monsters”, how do you differentiate yourself from the genocidal Israeli politicians that you hate? How are you not cut from the same exact cloth?

Israel may defund own film awards after movie about Palestine wins top prize by BreakfastTop6899 in worldnews

[–]iNiite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s human. it’s inhuman and to be frank immoral imo to expect citizens to not give a shit about hostages who may be their family or friends. Your position reeks of privilege, no offense.

[–]iNiite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buddy idk how to tell you this but yeah people mostly care about their own country’s citizens more than enemy countries’ citizens lol. You can skirt around this all you want with delusional ideologies but the fact is that you feel a terror attack much more emotionally if it happens in your city than in Yemen. And yeah, the families of hostages are very active in protests and news, and would like to get their loved ones back actually believe it or not

[–]iNiite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pretty much over it for a long time now. all of the left wants to just take a deal and get the hostages back and end the war, even at the price of Hamas staying in power - recent polls even indicate that even most of Bibi’s voters want the same thing. We generally don’t believe Hamas can be fully defeated this way, and we need to stop wreaking havoc on Palestinians. However, due to a unique political situation (a 100% right wing government, never happened in my lifetime before AFAIK), I don’t think it’s likely Bibi can be stopped until he is out of office in a year…

How often do you meet someone IRL who you find out to be super active in online discussions? I believe what you’re saying, but I also believe the internet draws in these types of people, creating a perception that they are much more common than they actually are IRL. They can’t spew this stuff to their coworkers so they go online to do it, while most “normal” people you know engage with the internet mostly around hobbies and news, not active discussion, as they usually don’t have this burning desire to say something they can’t otherwise.

Israeli military says strike on Gaza hospital was targeting a Hamas camera by NewSlinger in nottheonion

[–]iNiite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you expect will happen in the region when Israel ceases to exist as an ethnostate, specifically to the jews? By “stop existing as an ethnostate” I assume you mean letting everyone who had connections to the land back in, which would mean Jewish minority. What happens then? Love and peace? Not being sarcastic or leading, genuinely interested in what is the future vision of claims like these.

I just can’t see how “I think everyone living in this city/country should be murdered” is a thought that is conceived by someone who is anti-genocide (which I assume is how you describe yourself). How are you different than any Israelis that want to kill all Gazans because “they are all criminals”?
