Speaking of, are you aware of the problems that Russia has with its far right?

But if i do the reverse of this argument its whataboutism

Conservatism isnt “when you are rude”.

Between Lance Reddick, Ray Stevenson, and now Andre Braugher this year has been a rough one for tv actors i rather liked who were on the older end of things but still going before their time

Thoughts on this?

nothing to do with that persons race

Oh, really? Comparing an Chinese man to a yellow skinned character has nothing to do with race?

Have you considered that the meme might have different impact coming from a Chinese person ribbing their leader than a white westerner echoing it? The former might be “light ribbing” but the later is racist. Who says a thing matters significantly on whether its ok to say. You know this very well because I’d hope you’d know that its not ok for white people to use the soft r n word even though many black people use it.

One of these is really complicated

Its not complicated

The Ukraine War is actually the more complicated and nuanced one. So its incredible every time to see people come here and get that backwards.

And yet he has the nerve to call lemmygrad war crime enthusiasts. The hypocracy is off the chain.

You’re currently going off in another thread about how much you love IDF war crimes so who is the war crime enthusiast here motherfucker?

Eat my entire ass and suck my left nut you piece of absolute fucking human waste. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

Listen, I’m not happy about the death of kids either, I’m just saying that revolutions are never, ever clean because oppressive violence breeds revolutionary violence and these people are angry and hopeless and you cant abandon the cause of the oppressed because of excesses. The oppressor has killed way more kids and will continue to if they’re not stopped. Like its really easy to talk from your high horse of privilege and judge revolutionary movements and tut tut but at the end of the day it comes down to what you actually care about. Because way more kids are going to be killed if the genocide of Palestinians isn’t stopped. And that includes Israeli kids because the Palestinians are going to fight back and they aren’t always going to be perfect victims about it. Israel can stop this at any time.

Youre talking a big game for someone whos never been enslaved (or held in an open air prison).

Listen, the children are victims (women get IDF training same as men though so lol) but they are victims of Israel. Dont put children on the front line of a settler colonial project.

The Hatians killed their masters. Was that wrong?

How are they not the best chance they have at not being genocided? They’re the only ones fighting to make it not happen lol.

There is literally no difference between oppressor and oppressed, you imbecile you, absolute moron.

Personally my stance isn’t so much that I think its “acceptable” as I think its “an unfortunate reality”. Revolutions are not clean, ever. Individuals involved in it do bad things. Holding the oppressed to the standards of having a completly clean revolution (impossible) is just counterproductive. I support the revolutionaries even if not every action they take is morally right. I dont withdraw my support for something that is good on the whole because of individual acts that are not good.

Its also worth noting that Israel chose to put civilians on the front lines of a settler project, and that this is kind of the obvious consequence of that. It can easily be argued, I think correctly, that they wanted this so they could look like the victims. Despite them being the oppressors.

the vast majority of cases Israeli operations don’t intend to harm civilians.
