Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Nothing clownish about me acknowledging the objective reality of an active genocide which you deny being conducted by the "people" you support.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

this is the hilarious thing. I don't support the israelis and have been very critical.

you don't care, because I'm also a realist, and know that biden bragging about hindering bibi wouldn't have helped anything.

you don't really care about gaza, if you did you'd have half a fucking brain. at the end of the day, both sides want to fight for their invisible friends more than they want peace, and it's fucked, but there's shit all I can do from here.

I didn't invade israel kidnap hundreds and murder thousands. I didn't sell israel twice like the brits.

take your horseshit elsewhere.

Yeah? How about not unconditionally sending Bibi a bunch of weapons and money that he used to commit genocide, you think that might have helped anything?

both sides want to fight for their invisible friends more

Ah, of course, the height of liberal analysis of the situation. I'm sure Israel being a settler-colonizer apartheid ethnostate making shit tons of money through exploitation and keeping the Palestinians in a permanent state of helplessness, poverty, and oppression has nothing whatsoever with why the Palestinians are fighting them, no, it's all because those backwards savages aren't as smart and rational as you are.

This is what happens when you perform absolutely zero material analysis of anything. You're completely oblivious and ignorant of both what's happening and why.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

the material analysis was the last sentence. learn to read friend. the material is BULLSHIT.

I like how asking people to live in the real world and disregard their religious homicidal urges on BOTH SIDES is somehow a liberal analysis of the situation. that's me, ultra lib rofls you fuckwit. also, if you want to use racist dogwhistles gonna block you, that's some serious grade a projection mate.

What "racist dogwhistles" did I use, exactly?
