Move the goalpost much? The US is in “the west” and they consistently set the tone and run the show. Welcome to geopolitics hope you enjoy your stay!

Nah.

I’m simply responding to the commenter’s comparison to “the west”. Like, if that’s the game we’re gonna play I think I just scored a point. Both situations are obviously terrible duh

You don’t even have to be charged with anything before ICE grabs you off the street and throws you in a van in the US…

June inspired it when she told Johnny “loving you is like being caught in a ring of fire”, but she didn’t write the song. It’s a common myth that she penned the actual song.

There are SO MANY red flags here. The fact that they refer to a two month ceasefire is another one. When was there ever a ceasefire observed by Israel for more than a couple days at most?! And I love that being starved to death or dying because you could no longer get cancer treatment is considered “nonviolent”. Jesus fucking christ.

Terk er jerbs!!

Your comment is informative but now all I can hear in my head is Green Day’s “American Idiot”.

Reminds me of my favorite Simpson’s quote.

Marge (to Bart): “Your father wanted to be a police officer but they said he was too heavy.”

Homer: “No the army said I was too heavy, the police said I was too dumb.”

Meme-ing is surius biznus dammit!

On .world, any point of view that contradicts mainstream American talking points is immediately a tankie point of view. It’s to the point of self-parody by now, but these morons actually think they’re defenders of democracy and justice or some shit.

He’s also a Palestinian immigrant who built his entire fortune from nothing. And you’re getting downvotes for pointing out the very real common refrains used against many entertainers of color. Everyone freaked the fuck out because Beyoncé put on a cowboy hat for chrissake.

It’s almost like all the most ignorant hivemind elements of Reddit just moved over to lemmy.world - glad they’re mostly confined to one instance at least.

What the fuck is with the quotes around ‘genocide’?! Not blaming OP for the source’s headline, but I just can’t believe editors are still playing these games

By that logic, if it’s not practical to protest every single injustice in the world, we just shouldn’t bother.

I’d say genocide is a good place to start, wouldn’t you?

Not even close to the same thing, but okay.

I also like, “Israeli bombs strike Gaza”. How did Israel’s bombs get up in the sky? Did they not expect them to fall to the ground and explode?

How about “Israel bombs Gaza”?

Their economy has allegedly been on the brink of failing for the past three years according to US state department talking points. Surely any day now the Ruskies will surrender…

“Let’s just say, for argument’s sake, that I may do things for money that are bad enough that other people want to kill me… how much money would I need to pay someone to not feel that way?”

This is a pretty typical Western way of completely misinterpreting karma. It’s supposed to describe how negative energy travels through the world, and white people just think it means “bad thing always happen to bad person”.

Daddy’s Dogs. He’s in Printer’s Alley standing a little ways down from their location there. You can actually see the sign behind the red and white sign for Fleet Street.
