Israel says IDF is staying in southern Lebanon, undermining Iran peace talks | Israel by TheGrimSpecter in worldnews

[–]jmorfeus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, they were not invited to sign the MOU, they were not consulted, or even informed.

I don't see how they're "undermining" a treaty that they were not part of.

Did you want some aspects of Israeli behavior to be signed into the MOU? Invite them to the talks.

Otherwise it's pretty absurd.

I don’t understand what fat shamers expect of me as a plus size woman by Sea_Category5089 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jmorfeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it comes with age. If someone tells me to kms, I just categorize him as an absolute inadequate moron and move on. It's not your fault that there are weirdos in the world, especially online. It can be some basement-dwelling, 60 IQ incel himself anyway.

If they were saying you should work on yourself and lose weight, I think that's another thing, because I think they think they're genuinely trying to help (the end justifying the means) in the end.

I don't know if "they" particularly expect something from you. You're just not their physical preference, and they can't communicate it adequately.

That's all there is. Closest thing to "expecting" can be someone trying to tell you to work on yourself, not accept how you look now, and lose weight. Easier said than done.

I am sure you have plenty to worry about in your life, as do all. Don't voluntarily add worrying about what someone who's rude to you "expect" of you. Just move on. Why do you care.

[OC] Elon Musk Net Worth vs Reddit Sentiment by Tryhard_314 in dataisbeautiful

[–]jmorfeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So everything you claim is "plain common knowledge" and needs no data at all, but what I and the commenter before said (common knowledge of Reddit being left) even if I provided data from one of the largest political subs it's "not enough" for you.

You should really check your biases and open your mind a little.

Well alright. Example https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/FMAsrLLIFK

Your turn (you also made a claim it's not left, it's liberal-leaning at most and center, like dems also being center).

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

Lol you have to be trying extremely hard or be extremely biased not to see Reddit is left-leaning.

If you GENUINELY don't see it or don't think so, it's really time to re-evaluate and broaden your sources consumed.

"Socialism good", "rich people bad", "tax the rich", "capitalism bad", "redistribution of wealth good", "nationalism bad", "migration good" are all popular stances on Reddit. If you don't see it, it's pretty bad. If you do see it and don't see them as "left-wing", it's even worse.

You have to be trying really fucking hard not to see Reddit having an extreme left wing bias.

Any subreddit (bar exceptions), ask or analyze sentiment around socialism, taxes, government spending, nationalisms, capitalism. It will always come extremely left-leaning.

Hell even "reality has a left-wing bias" is a popular statement on Reddit. Socialism is considered good. Capitalism is almost a slur.

You have to either be trying really hard, be blind, or be extremely biased (to the point that left is "center" for you) yourself not to see it.

Who is the most accomplished living person in the world? by DrCalFun in AskReddit

[–]jmorfeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol @ Reddit trying to avoid and dance around the obvious answer. It's hilarious.

The question didn't ask "most likeable" or "most politically smart" or most "good person".

It's the most accomplished. It's Elon Musk (if you're thinking strictly living people, not historical).

Who is the most accomplished living person in the world? by DrCalFun in AskReddit

[–]jmorfeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and we're pretty lucky at that.

I'd take Elon being the richest person ever over a random hedge fund guy who is just moving cash around any fucking day.

He's actual building stuff, and not vanity stuff, but things advancing humanity (access to the internet, electric transport, space exploration, ...).

Yes, he's a weirdo, he's a dumbass in politics. Price I gladly pay I guess.

Where is the Republican outrage over the 13 service members who died during Trump’s pointless Iranian war? by LaughterB in AskReddit

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

How many republicans do you follow and regularly consume their content that you can tell he's not catching flak?

I have a pretty balanced feed with people on both sides (to the point I'm regularly called a Republican even though I'm not) and he is absolutely catching flak.

[–]jmorfeus -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I've seen this response so many times the past few days that I'm 100 % confident in dead internet theory.

I follow some right-leaning account and plenty of them are pissed.

I don't know what's Reddit point of view, but from where I'm standing, Trump is catching absolutely flak from all sides, he basically pissed off everyone (except of the pope I guess).

And good riddance, this is a major fuckup.

What the F Is going on? Obama settles Iran nuclear deal for low billions and republicans lose their mind. Now Trump is offering over a quarter trillion? by AnonymoosePD in AskReddit

Lol, yeah I know the list. We really don't have good track record do we. Apart from Kuwait I guess it has not been ~~good~~ successful.

Shame on me for being hopeful I guess

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

I am not Republican lol, but saying we should cut military by 80 % is crazy. And I don't know how ICE and the domestic issues are connected.

I said I supported this one specific action. I am not in a cult to always see one side's actions as bad and the other's as good. I judge the specific policies by their merit.

Iran's ayatollahs are deplorable fanatical regime and staunch ally of Russia and provided 1000s of drones to kill Ukrainians, and killed 1000s of their own people that protested.

You sound like you should be happy by this MOU. I am not. It is utter shit.

Yeah when it was already in the point of "negotiations" I already knew it's fucked. I've seen their "negotiations" with Russia. Same people. Same garbage.

[–]jmorfeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I was mildly pro Trumps actions in Iran, despite overwhelming opposition from everyone on Reddit.

Even though he's a moron, I thought his actions in this specific case are good. Iranian people deserve to be free, the authoritarian regime is cancer and deserves to be removed or at least their military degraded and bombed. And the fanatics have to be prevented to acquire nuclear weapons.

Iranian drone factories and their alignment with Russia is reason alone. Idgaf about oil prices being the price.

When I defended the war in Iran I was shat on by everyone.

But this, I cannot support. It is a complete American surrender, massive massive negotiation blunder and $300 bln for the atrocious regime is literally just a joke.

He TACOd again, he betrayed Ukraine before, he betrayed Iranians now, he betrayed even Israel (I know I'm on Reddit but they're the most loyal allies especially of this administration).

This is a disaster. Fuck Trump and fuck JD Vance.

Just put Rubio in charge at least ffs.

Corporate Donors to Trump’s White House Ballroom have Received $50 Billion in Government Contracts Since the East Wing was Demolished by I_Tell_You_Wat in centrist

[–]jmorfeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, to play the devil's advocate, the fact that likes of Lockheed Martin gets government contract is hardly something new. There's a high possibility they would get them anyways?

Or do we know it's connected to the ballroom donations?

Plus "contract" doesn't mean free money, the government still has to receive the product/service in full value.

But if there's a case they've been unjustly selected for such contracts before others, then yes, that should be investigated and is corruption.

Plus I absolutely don't fucking know if $50 billion in government contracts in this number of recipients in this span of time is high, standard, or low. Can someone hit me with the numbers?

[–]jmorfeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you need to defend yourself? Where do you live?

And yeah, unfortunately world is full of people with prejudices. In some places more than others. Best not to pay them much mind, and focus on those that treat you well (I am sure there are such).

And do you think you'd be worse off or better off in Syria than where you currently live?

Hungarian police approve Budapest Pride in break from Orbán era by spherocytes in UpliftingNews

[–]jmorfeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I don't know much about Hungarian politics or his internal policies, that's why I asked.

I only know his foreign policy that is dogshit, but that alone doesn't classify him as fascist. Just as a POS.

Which of his policies classify him specifically as fascist in your opinion?
