All of this is bad faith and not sourced.

You can’t call it good faith to say, “hey, cut it out” while checks notes STILL SUPPLYING WEAPONS.

I didn’t want him to be a hypocrite if that’s what you’re implying

The old testament says a lot of the same shit. Acting like this shit is exclusively Islam’s domain is big bigot energy.

The whole situation is unbelievably fucked up. Fundamentalist Islam is in the mix but Islam in and of itself is not the cause.

How often do you assholes move couches? Why do we have to buy these behemoth vehicles for rare maximal use cases?

So the article (from 2 presidential administration’s ago) details someone who wouldn’t accept male Indian interns due to the country’s reputation. It does nothing to debunk the argument that rape is not an endemic problem in India, just that some shithead German professor threw the baby out with the bathwater. Okay, fine. We can get #NotAllIndians trending even tho I’m pointing out that it’s a cultural issue, not a race thing like you keep trying to shoehorn into this discussion.

By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality? Cool. That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it

Anyhow, I’m also not going to travel to the horn of Africa, chunks of the middle east, North Korea, Belarus or Gary Indiana for that matter. I’m just too closed minded I guess.

No. I’m pretty ACAB across the board.

Every “-ism” you listed isn’t solely the dominion of white folks. You’re sort of falling into the same mindset you’re accusing me of possessing by calling me out for saying India has a problem. The US also has a problem. Both suck and neither excuses the other, but I have firsthand accounts from femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia. As someone who is not white and has a non binary partner, you are free to eat the entirety of my brown ass

Namaste

Here’s the thing tho: it’s been “vote blue to save democracy” but the DNC is just as fucked up just without the outwardly fascist leanings. No one wants to vote for Biden, they just want to vote against Trump. It’s lose/lose and the most marginalized of us are going to get savagely fucked or slightly less fucked depending who’s voted in.

There’s no viable candidate who doesn’t want to give Isreal carte blanche to commit genocide with US backing, no one wants to address money in politics… the fucking economy is a mess for the rank and file, non owning class majority of us. If these very real issues are mentioned, suddenly it’s progressives’ fault the Trump with be president. Fuck all that. Explain why I’m supposed to be enthusiastic?

I get voting for harm reduction and by virtue of the electoral college, my presidential vote won’t matter in my state (my state has been “safe democratic” for the last half century) but when I cast my vote I will be holding my nose

Obviously the ideal number is zero and the US certainly has its share of problems, but this is reported rapes. I’m not going to paint myself as any sort of authority on the subject, but I’ve read enough stories where Indian law enforcement was complicit or unconcerned. I’d bet the actual numbers are a lot higher

Oh. Now the military gives a shit about pollution

But they’re still right here

When you have the USA in your back pocket they let you do it. You can do anything

If Germany invaded to set things right that would suck, but it would be amusingly ironic

They’re not really mentioning stitcher any more

Russia can eat my entire ass, but we can’t really predict how this conflict will play out. Russia is inept, but they have millions of bodies to essentially Zerg rush into this conflict… and that strategy worked for them in WW2

America is leaking

I used it for a bit. It was nice sending and receiving images from iPhone using friends that didn’t look like blown up 50x50 thumbnails of jpeg artifacting

There’s a difference between Motorhead, the Sex Pistols, and someone like Slayer who all used Nazi imagery to provoke in a problematic way and bands that claim to be part of the National Socialist Black Metal scene. I mean… I can’t understand the lyrics on an Absurd record without the lyric sheet, but the giant blank sun in their artwork is a dead giveaway

So wild that this is a hot take these days

That’s about $11k in case you’re wondering. I was going to make a joke that he’d just have to skip avocado toast for a couple of days

Westboro Baptists are Christians, Christian is also a religion, ergo…

You’re still a bigot. There’s probably racism in the mix, but I’m kinda done with this exchange. You’re legitimately using white supremacist talking points and you probably don’t even realize it
