  • None of that has been mentioned by op, beyond “here is the actual definition of genocide.” op pointed to the amnesty international definition, and was refused by his opponent. so defaulting to the dictionary… Isreal is exterminating an ethnic group intentionally… Its fkn genocide.

    What are you on about? Either we go by the legal definition of genocide, which isreal clearly meets, or we go by the dictionary definition of genocide that isreal clearly meets… What point do you think you are making?

    Are you saying it can’t be genocide cause that must be proven in a court of law? That is asinine.




  • Either you’re a shill, a turfer, or a moron, or maybe you have legit said something stupid and dont understand why.

    I dont know where you are from, or what culture you are but, what would you propose to do to indicate that something is unacceptable, after having stated that many many times, and the people who have traditionally murdered your people for being "savages"opt to ignore you many times, and are the people that hold power? Just say “this is unacceptable” and take the loss, while just allowing your constituents to get fucked?



  • Wasn’t talking to you directly, but appending additional info to what you were saying. You kinda did suggest that taking gabapentin would help with their pain, so while Yes, its a terrible idea to take prescription stuff without knowing what you are doing, if they are gonna read what you told them and decide to ignore the part where you suggest you are uncomfortable providing medical advice and then go ahead and do it anyway, they should at least be warned that your advice is particularly dangerous due to gabapentins mental side effects.










  • Pretty sure its just you and only right now.

    Kidding. I honestly dont have the experience to answer fully but that very specific scenario made me giggle.

    That said, the decline and end enshitification of everything is coupled with the relazation from advertizers that o ly ads are sketchy AF,and the people selling ad space are not to be trusted, leading to folks with lesser means boosting topics that would have previously been ostracized from whichever corporate social media company. Pissing people off has long been the most effective means of driving engagement, and lower quality advertisers care less about public perception.



  • This is an america vs Americans definition issue. Americans litigate when its useful or required usually. America litigates every chance it gets. The mish derstanding is easy as america is full of Americans, but really america is a collection of wealth holding entities known as corporations that give zero shits about Americans except for when it comes to extracting wealth.

    Of course there are a lot of Americans that participate in this cause those corporations pay to put food on the table. You too will dance when your corporate overlords snap.


  • Thats something I find fascinating. People hear anarchy and assume the end of commerce because it would inherently mean an end to capitalism, presuming we arent talking about some weird ancap philosophy that I can’t make sense.

    Commerce has happened for forever, and changing forms of government will not change that.

    Thats not the part I find fascinating though, its that people discussing anarchy tend to cede this argument without a fight.

    If you do so, an implied argument of anarchy gets lost: “there is no such thing as unskilled labor.”

    This isnt generally considered a point for anarchy, but it is. In an anarchist system, you have the agency to decide your role in your community. This means you WILL specialize, as we all do as humans; even the generalists of us aren’t generalists at everything. I for one would make a shitty translator, as i only speak English.

    There would need to be some means of getting labor done by someone who knew how to do it, this ought to feel natural to most of us anyway… I mean I assume you guys try to help your friends at stuff you are good at that they aren’t. I similarly assume you’re generally compensated for this behavior, even if it isnt with currency as we generally consider it.
