Quote:Quote:Dissapointing they aren't also mentioning Hamas and their crimes in this message, would broaden the support, to mention that civilians on both sides suffer.
Still, a honorable initiative!
I think I get where this is coming from when viewed as a practicality, but it's definitely disappointing to think that criticism of Israeli's genocidal colonialist occupation of Palestine has to be followed by an *editor's note: not a terrorist.
I'm also not sure how much it would even help. The fact of the matter is that people trying to support the Israel's genocidal actions are often willing to tell obvious lies in order to smear critics; probably most damningly, presenting the state of Israel as congruent with Judaism and the Jewish people so that criticism of the actions of the state is an attack on the entirety of the people.
Would trying to intentionally distance the message from the perception it might be supporting Hamas even help protect it from opponents who simply move to dehumanize Palestinians completely and paint them as fundamentally evil and destructive? Or would it simply create more surface area to conflate Hamas with the Palestinian cause as a whole so that any harm Hamas causes justifies the genocide against the Palestinians?
The problem is that you have a whole lot of people who either deny the October 7th atrocities or actually agree with them. I don't really like the idea that those cunts would sign the letter too.

Yes is fucking necessary, because you are the dudes asking for distinguishing Zionist from Jew/Israeli, while bitching anytime an Arab is depicted as a terrorist
Not sure what’s worse - cheering on a prison stabbing or “having fun” in the thread (don’t cringe challenge:impossible)

At worst he rallied people to give money for specific causes, just to stockpile the money to make a big "fake check" donation to whatever he finds appropiate.
That doesn't include any of the institutions he mentions by name, btw.
This is the best outcome.
Idiot fucked over other idiots, to stockpile money for a big donation to charity to boost his image.
The real outcome is probably that the money has been misused, and the guy knew, and he still keeps using his dead mother as an emotional hook to suckers dumb enough to give him money for causes they never backed.
Bot scenarios paint Jirard as probably one of the worst assholes I have ever supported.
Fuck him and his Family.
I hope his mother dies again of shame, in hell.

It's infuriating reading about people being housed in dog kennels, not being fed enough to sustain life, enduring disease and parasite infections, and being forced to work until they literally drop dead or being gassed to death when they aren't useful any more while listening to the fucking trans retards on Resetera bitch about the ongoing trans genocide.
Like, why the fuck are these idiots even allowed to speak?
EDIT: Even their inane bleating about "literal Nazis" rings so hollow when you read about the absolute depravity of the actual Nazis.
Edit: goddamn my post disappeared. Basically just agreed with you. These genocidal fuckers in WWII and other actual genocides were on such a different level than “they won’t let me play women’s sports” that it’s quite insulting.
This is a genocide:
Quote:Its inhabitants were kept for nearly half a year in dog kennels, urinals and in old baking houses. The dog kennels were three feet high, nine feet long, six feet wide. Five men slept in each of them. The prisoners had to crawl into these kennels on all fours… There was no water in the camp
Quote:The clothing of the Eastern workers was likewise completely inadequate. They worked and slept in the same clothing in which they had arrived from the East. Virtually all of them had no overcoats and were compelled to use their blankets as coats in cold and rainy weather. In view of the shortage of shoes many workers were forced to go to work in their bare feet, even in winter…
Sanitary conditions were atrocious. At Kramerplatz only ten children’s toilets were available for 1,200 inhabitants… Excretion contaminated the entire floors of these lavatories… The Tartars and Kirghiz suffered most; they collapsed like flies [from] bad housing, the poor quality and insufficient quantity of food, overwork and insufficient rest.
These workers were likewise afflicted with spotted fever. Lice, the carrier of the disease, together with countless fleas, bugs and other vermin tortured the inhabitants of these camps… At times the water supply at the camps was shut off for periods of from eight to fourteen days…
Quote:The Einsatz unit would enter a village or town and order the prominent Jewish citizens to call together all Jews for the purpose of “resettlement.”* They were requested to hand over their valuables and shortly before execution to surrender their outer clothing. They were transported to the place of executions, usually an antitank ditch, in trucks—always only as many as could be executed immediately. In this way it was attempted to keep the span of time from the moment in which the victims knew what was about to happen to them until the time of their actual execution as short as possible.
Then they were shot, kneeling or standing, by firing squads in a military manner and the corpses thrown into the ditch. I never permitted the shooting by individuals, but ordered that several of the men should shoot at the same time in order to avoid direct-personal responsibility. Other group leaders demanded that the victims lie down flat on the ground to be shot through the nape of the neck. I did not approve of these methods.
Quote:…My foreman and I went directly to the pits. I heard rifle shots in quick succession from behind one of the earth mounds. The people who had got off the trucks—men, women and children of all ages—had to undress upon the order of an S.S. man, who carried a riding or dog whip. They had to put down their clothes in fixed places, sorted according to shoes, top clothing and underclothing. I saw a heap of shoes of about 800 to 1,000 pairs, great piles of under-linen and clothing.
Without screaming or weeping these people undressed, stood around in family groups, kissed each other, said farewells and waited for a sign from another S.S. man, who stood near the pit, also with a whip in his hand. During the fifteen minutes that I stood near the pit I heard no complaint or plea for mercy…
An old woman with snow-white hair was holding a one-year-old child in her arms and singing to it and tickling it. The child was cooing with delight. The parents were looking on with tears in their eyes. The father was holding the hand of a boy about 10 years old and speaking to him softly; the boy was fighting his tears. The father pointed to the sky, stroked his head and seemed to explain something to him.
At that moment the S.S. man at the pit shouted something to his comrade. The latter counted off about twenty persons and instructed them to go behind the earth mound… I well remember a girl, slim and with black hair, who, as she passed close to me, pointed to herself and said: “twenty-three years old.”
I walked around the mound and found myself confronted by a tremendous grave. People were closely wedged together and lying on top of each other so that only their heads were visible. Nearly all had blood running over their shoulders from their heads. Some of the people were still moving. Some were lifting their arms and turning their heads to show that they were still alive. The pit was already two-thirds full. I estimated that it contained about a thousand people. I looked for the man who did the shooting. He was an S.S. man, who sat at the edge of the narrow end of the pit, his feet dangling into the pit. He had a tommy gun on his knees and was smoking a cigarette.
The people, completely naked, went down some steps and clambered over the heads of the people lying there to the place to which the S.S. man directed them. They lay down in front of the dead or wounded people; some caressed those who were still alive and spoke to them in a low voice. Then I heard a series of shots. I looked into the pit and saw that the bodies were twitching or the heads lying already motionless on top of the bodies that lay beneath them. Blood was running from their necks.
The next batch was approaching already. They went down into the pit, lined themselves up against the previous victims and were shot.
I highly recommend The Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze if you're interested in reading another deep dive into Nazi Germany.

The harsh reality is they’ve all seen his photo on here and they’re not having it. Which I kind of agree with. There has to be a certain standard after all. A line in the sand between say, confused Metallica fans and whatever nonsense Kyuuji and co are. Personally I’m on Melody’s side.

So hand gesture controversy refers to this, it seems:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalia
Let’s take Wikipedia word from it and read a little.
Quote:Megalia (Korean: 메갈리아; RR: Megallia) was an online community and social movement of South Korean feminists that began in May and June 2015. The movement is most well known for the "mirroring" strategy that supporters ("Megalians") used to expose misogynist ideas on the South Korean Internet. Megalians would repost ("mirror") misogynist content with the gender roles reversed, with the goal of provoking laughter and/or outrage. After being banned from the Internet forum DC Inside, Megalians created several Facebook groups and an independent website called Megalian.com (archived and in Korean). They continued to mirror misogynist posts but also began mobilizing for feminist causes.
Okay, it sounds crass but fair. What is your problem with it you fucking inc…
Quote:The movement split when moderators on the Megalia website banned homophobic posts targeting gay men. A group of users opposed to the decision left to found WOMAD. In 2017 the Megalia website was shut down, in part do to users leaving for WOMAD and a multitude of smaller sites.
Quote:A major argument began between Megalia users in December 2015 over whether it was acceptable to attack men for being homosexual. Some Megalia posters outed gay men who were married to women. Megalia's administrators eventually banned homophobic posts, which caused a large number of users to leave and found an alternative forum known as WOMAD (워마드), followed by almost one hundred other splinter sites. The movement continued for months, but the Megalia 4 Facebook group went dormant in the latter half of 2016 and the Megalia website was shut down in 2017.
Oh… is genuinely one of those… uh.
Dunno about the hand gesture paranoia but the movement seem to have been poisoned by that controversy.
