Side note: I've always wondered how people like Jones can spout off about antisemitic conspiracies but then lose their minds when someone suggests possibly not supporting Israel.
Anyway I hope this garbage gets removed from Steam. People like Alex Jones absolutely should be deplatformed. From his obvious bigotry and bigot support to the way he atrociously and ardently insisted that murdered children were in fact alive and that they're all lying, he deserves no platform. That tiny sack of meat and his supporters can go fuck themselves.

We've known that this is who they really are for decades now, and what have we done to ensure that, once they do get into power, they're hamstrung from carrying out their agendas. The answer is clearly "not enough" because we are constantly on the edge of fascism. Ideally, it should've never gotten to this point, and we need to honestly ask ourselves why it did, and then figure out what the fuck to do once this country inevitably pulls that lever. This is not a problem you out-vote forever.

I guess there's sort of a fun factor drinking and playing a game I enjoy? Like not drinking to the point I'm like blacking out...but like a middle ground where I'm a little buzzed but still capable of grasping a game's mechanics.
I feel like this is probably a sign of alcoholism but health wise I seem fine and I don't miss work or anything like that. But I'm a little frustrated I can't enjoy games like before work anymore because it doesn't fit my mindset for playing games slightly buzzed.

Sordid Plebeian wrote:I'd agree that Biden has been enabling Israel's violence in Gaza by directing the US UNSC Ambassador to veto calls for ceasefires as well as continuing to push for funding for the IDF, but in all fairness Biden's admin has been applying pressure on Israel to scale back their invasion of Gaza - which is starting to come into effect this week. They are also revoking visas for Americans involved in settler violence in the West Bank.
I won't argue against both Trump and Biden (or really any American president) being bad for Gaza, but you have to understand the how differently Trump would be handling this. There would be no calls to moderate their retaliation, only encouragement. When it comes to US hostages being held by Hamas, that might even encourage more direct US involvement. Ultimately, the degree of violence would be more severe and last longer. In addition, the Republican Party would be completely on board with that approach, versus the weight of Democrats, voters and representatives alike, calling for more measured responses or a total ceasefire. Do you really believe Biden has been applying pressure? That's just some B.S. his spokespeople started spreading once it became apparent on how unpopular this situation was... to make it easier for his base to swallow. Nothing in their actions or in Biden's own words has actually backed that claim. There are months of evidence to back this.
I wish all these liberals, who are shaming others into voting, would use that same energy into asking the DNC and Biden what the fuck they're doing. This whole situation has been incredibly unpopular and provides zero national interest for the US. How does this benefit his reelection prospects?
Get out there, organize, actually support your local pro-palestinian groups. Maybe you can convince them to actually hold their nose and vote ... but i'd wager most of you don't actually give a shit about what's happening. It's all lip service.

That Falastini (lol) is such on the nose. You know why the conflict is never ending? Because no one is willing to admit fault and compromise (and if they do, they chicken out immediately).
I’m going to be brutally honest and say may the leftist U.S. citizens should concern about domestic issues than in the Muslim minority that, deep down, are probably more conservative than white christians or Jews, since their hot takes have been terrible.

Kind of. English and Japanese are really different languages that the stuff he is complaining sounds more natural in Japanese. Is not just “anime tittes huehurhur”.
