...and what court has decided that it's a genocide? Isn't it a legal term that can only be used if the goal post we keep moving is reached?
Not to draw away attention from the Sudan genocide amidst a brutal civil war, I just think it's adequate to point out how easy it is to name the perpetrator, victim, and the action of genocide by its name when Israel isn't involved.

I love all animals unconditionally. To the point where I'm pretty weird about wasp traps - look I know they're aggressive around campsites and they sting people but dude - this is their home. If someone busted into my house and started drinking apple juice I'd be pretty ornery around them too. Hey, give me some of that juice! This is my house! Even the cows who woke me up at sunrise this morning because they were absolutely losing their SHIT mooing. I'd love to know what they're trying to say. Maybe they're desperately trying to warn us about something and we just can't understand.
MOO! Climate change is nearly past the point of no return! MOO! Your system of government is ultimately doomed to fail due to the corruptible nature of mankind! MOO! This grass is delicious you really must try some! MOO! It's a glorious day, let's face it head on with a positive attitude! MOO! MOO! MOO!
However. When someone says..... Oh I'm just going off for an hour can you look after my dog?..... I'm like, sure. But I don't know your dog. We are only acquaintances on a social level. I don't know their likes and dislikes beyond goo-goo noises and the odd belly scritch. What if they don't like me? What if I say the wrong thing. I'm not ready for this sort of responsibility.
Anybody left who still hasn't worked out this grifter and thug yet?

CBC's Susan Ormiston says Israel did not allow her to board the only single Canadian airdrop planned to deliver food to Gaza because, as I posted earlier, Israel was forbidding any aerial photos or film.
She was allowed on a Jordanian flight but the CBC news segment just shows footage of her face inside the plane as neither she nor CBC or both fell comfortable disobeying Israel's demands. 👀
Good thing Washington Post and SkyNews were not so compliant and published anyway.

Russian Special Ops Forces Capture Three British “Soldiers”
Colonel Edward Blake and Lietenant Colonel Richard Carroll
If true, this adds a new twist to the war in Ukraine. I first heard this claim a couple of days ago on BORZZIKMAN’s channel… The Russians captured three Brits in a small town west of Odessa. I was leery of reporting it without additional confirmation.
Then I found another source… the Eurasia Daily, which reported that Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll, and Colonel Edward Blake, both active-duty officers of the British Army, along with as as-yet unidentified Agent of British MI-6 (Intelligence) were captured during a daring raid by Russian Special Forces, in the city of Ohakiv. That city is shown on the scalable map below:

in reply to Samdell • • •See, I actually dislike this a lot, because while it should be poking fun at far right chuds, it just generalizes to straight men on the internet instead.
Congrats to the author, the only thing this has done is fuel the gender divide and turned a few more young men to far right politics, and this is the sort of thing used as proof to make them feel under attack as straight men.

in reply to JillyB • • •If you are told all day that you are under attack, then go onto a supposedly more tolerant space and what you see if people attacking you, then it's naïve to think it will not affect you.
This is just a massive own goal, and is entirely avoidable by targeting the right butt of the joke, rather than aiming large, having collateral damage and saying "you're only offended if you feel targeted".
That's not fighting the good fight, that's just being a hateful shithead on the internet.
JillyB
in reply to Exocet6951 • • •Straight men are the least targeted group. If any of them feel targeted, it's because they are exactly the type of guy in the comic. I say this as a straight guy. Compared to my queer and women friends, I'm cruising through life. I might catch the occasional stray from a comic while they have to fear legislation limiting their rights.
My best friend of 15 years is the guy in this comic. I tried for years give him another perspective and keep him from going far right but it didn't work and now I've completely cut him off. I have no sympathy for somebody who is self victimizing. The actual victim is not the one that needs to change their behavior to protect the fragility of the wannabe victim.
Exocet6951
in reply to JillyB • • •By all means, keep scoring massive own goals and wondering why more and more young men and turning to the far right.
"Here, let me describe you. If you feel targeted, it's that you are the irredeemable scum this comic describes"
Meanwhile, the comic describes men on the internet.
Super easy fix to the comic: add political leaning to the description. Literally one word to make fun of the people who need to be made fun of.
Meanwhile, everyone here is bending over backwards to explain how collateral damage is perfectly fine, and isn't totally playing into the alt right's pipeline in the most avoidable way ever.
