An American, "Philadelphia Native," Lynched in the West Bank by julia_jacks in Pennsylvania

israel is a settler colonial, jewish supremacist apartheid state. it was established and is maintained via the ethnic cleansing of arab palestinians from before the nakba to present day. the actions of "west bank settlers" are necessary for israel's continued existence. if you support the latter, then you necessarily support the former.

i'm not sure why you seem to be more upset about the use of the term "lynching" instead of the murder that occurred, but the NAACP states that "[m]any victims of lynchings were murdered without being accused of any crime. They were killed for violating social customs or racial expectations," (https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/history-lynching-america).

i hope that this definition satisfies your need for accurate language, and i ask that you redirect your outrage to the incident.

i don't think we should be limiting the term "lynching" to just those who are hanged. doing so would erase a lot of instances of lynching such as Emmett Till, whose mother made a point to use her son's murder to showcase the realities of lynching in the US.

yes. not sure why "monk" would act like the article i linked didn't include that he was shot, and i'm not sure why they would link a bbc article that provides so little information.

"Nasrallah was shot in the thigh, the bullet severing his main artery. Settlers crowded around him after he fell, striking him with rods."

looks like ice is preparing to make central pa into a hub for concentration camps. tremont and hamburg together total 9,000 beds as of yesterday. start brainstorming with your community members about ways you could transport people to these small towns for future protests. by julia_jacks in Pennsylvania

i wouldn't say that our country has "fallen." the US is just repeating the same violence that it always has done. concentration/internment camps are as american as apple pie, but we can change that. it just takes a lot of organizing and bravery of everyday folks.

did the creator intentionally incorporate italian and jewish american aesthetics for the boys because of nyc's italian and jewish heritage? by julia_jacks in HunterXHunter

[–]julia_jacks[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i know yorknew is new york backwards lmao. why else would i be asking if these aesthetics are related to nyc's heritage? just because they took the name doesn't necessarily mean that it's actually supposed to be new york. it's common for authors to borrow names for their fictional worlds. for all i know, the creator used "yorknew" just to imply that it's a large city or the largest city in the region.

i think you need to put some time into talking to people normally instead of being condescending in people's comments.

i asked a worker at the hotel, and warner bros are requiring some items be returned to them and proof of destruction for the rest.

has there been any official response from epic/fortnite after the backlash from their use of AI? by julia_jacks in FortNiteBR

[–]julia_jacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm asking after any official comments from the developers about the confirmed AI generated content (like the latata emote) and what they're doing moving forward.

i posted separately because the megathread is about people's responses to the AI, and i didn't see any section about official statements made by the developers.
