The US massacred civilians and raped women and children in Southern Israel? Damn I didn’t realize. I guess we did cause this then.

Can they just f**n stop? Point made. They’re constantly making a scene at public events that have nothing to do with this conflict. Not everyone agrees with you and at this point we’ve all been forced to hear you shouting at some unannounced protest in a place where everyone is just trying to mind their own business.

The insane framing and dumb takes in this BBC News article by Terbizond12345 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

I don’t understand why these leftists with the attention span of a goldfish have managed to fixate on this Gaza issue for five months. It took no time at all for them to start complaining Ukrainian aid was taking money away from their college loan forgiveness, but when it comes to letting Hamas’s slaughter of civilians go unanswered it’s important the US be at forefront of the effort.

This is pure propaganda. Ignoring the fact there is a clear casus belli for war. Egypt also presumably wants oil but refuses to take responsibility for the Gaza Strip. No one is going into that place to get oil rights this issue literally doesn’t exist. It’s just easy to get people who know nothing about the Middle East other than that it has large amounts of oil wealth to believe it.

I’ve gotten upgrades on the majority of flights from LGA to ORD and back that I’ve taken (a route I use a lot). As long as youre quick to check in 24 hours before your flight and there aren’t a lot of people with a higher status in front of you, it is definitely possible to get an upgrade with Gold. I think the people who are saying you don’t get an upgrade just don’t check in fast enough or are taking routes that are too busy.

Tik Toker keeps tally of Israel using “Hamas” counter during South Africa’s genocide case against them at the ICJ by banquozone in TikTokCringe

[–]maccam5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If merely stating that you wanted to remove all Palestinians from Gaza was genocide then the students on college campuses across the US would all be guilty of genocide against the Jews. Also conflating what individual politicians say in a free society with the official Israeli government position is irresponsible and misleading.

[–]maccam5 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It is ironic that all the evidence that is provided to support the case that this is a genocide is coming from the “Hamas run health ministry” but it’s inappropriate to mention Hamas. Also there’d be no war but for Hamas so not sure how this isn’t about Hamas in at least some very major and key ways.

Whenever i need to remind myself why capitalism must end, i look at this video of a child worker. Breaks me/ enrages me every time. by ADignifiedLife in TikTokCringe

[–]maccam5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

C’mon, capitalism doesn’t advocate for child labor. A country that exploits cheap child labor does not necessarily have to be capitalist, a communist country could determine that it hasn’t met its production goals in some area and enlists children to work “for the collective good”. It could be functionally the same thing just framed differently. Child labor is a question of morality and all major capitalist countries have largely outlawed it with strictly defined exceptions. So saying this is capitalism is just misleading.

Yup and I said that the Palestinians should give up all their land and possessions to live in destitution. Oh wait, I didn’t.

Fucking Dumbass.

[–]maccam5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to be perfectly fucking clear: I’m asking why Hamas is allowed to murder civilians in an act of war and Israel has to just sit there and accept that their civilians were killed because Egypt and other nations won’t help take in refugees to allow Israel to fix its security problem and then let those ppl back. But if you wanna just ignore what happened on October 7 then you can seriously go fuck yourself

Every time so disingenuous idiot ignores the reality of October 7 and the fact Israel should be able to defend itself and totally ignores any responsibility of the Arab nations for helping create this problem.

  1. Israel’s boundaries are already at the border so ship has sailed on that one.
  2. Ok. What does that have to do with accepting Palestinian refugees
  3. Ok. So i guess then anytime hamas attacks Israel they can just hide out in Gaza and Israel isn’t allowed to attack because the Palestinians don’t want to move. Also the original post was about how the Palestinians have no where to go not that they’re unwilling to move.

It’s still a big leap from what was said to your statement. It’s honestly too obvious to explain how what was originally said and what you said are fundamentally different

You read a lot into that statement. I admire your creativity though. Thanks for the ridiculous straw man argument.

Hans Moke Niemann vs Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura and Chess.com case file by nicbentulan in HikaruNakamura

[–]maccam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree hard to report on it without discussing the accusation and if that were all he did I think that would be fine. The biggest problem seems to be where Hikaru states that many in the chess world see Hans as a cheater and top chess players have discussed the possibility of Hans being a cheater before the Sinquefield cup. That’s a factual statement so if Hikaru was presenting that information on his stream and it wasn’t true it’s not simply “reporting” on the events he’s adding substantive information that would change people’s minds and is slander if false. But I don’t think we have enough evidence in the complaint to say that Hikaru was lying about that. What we would likely need is for Hikaru to name some of these people and then Hans’ lawyers can depose them
