[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]
Dunyain, address content, not posters.
Guys, you *just* saw me ban 3 people only yesterday. Please mind yourselves, friends.
BGP, the moderation of this thread is quite strict, so as a reminder you are to address content, not posters. Repeated violations of this rule will result in a timeout from the thread. Thank you.
To others playing with fire, stop now.
TY. I can see how some of my posts crossed over from content to posters. I will try to not let it happen again.
Well, when the thread veers into literal Nazi apologize it can be difficult, but ok.
And I do find it a little ironic that I have probably been called a Nazi more times than anyone else posting in this forum (unwarranted I might add); and I have to be the one to point out it is wrong to chant "Death to the Jews" while doing Nazi salutes and murdering and kidnapping innocent sailors, and maybe we shouldn't' be calling such people heroes.
You can do it, I believe in you
From a psychological perspective it sure is fascinating to watch radicalization in real time; especially as it pertains to tribalism, disgust response and dehumanization.
Generally, the same people that were completely agnostic and emotionless when discussing 10/7, and spent most of their energy denying and minimizing events that were documented on video; are so willing to completely accept at face value and become emotionally engaged at clear propaganda with absolutely no evidence.
It really is f
I've tried to write a longer reply to this but I can't keep it focused on Israel/Palestine.
It really is fascinating and frightening.

Golda Meir once said "When Arabs love their children more than they hate us we will have peace".
How many children are dead because their parents couldn't let go of their hate? The reports of mass child casualties in Gaza are not because of the IDF. Many of these children are being forced to fight in the war. Many of these children have died because Hamas knew the bombs were coming and wanted the death toll to be high. Many of these deaths are from friendly fire. The IDF only targets enemy combatants. It's time the truth comes out.
The real estate thing makes it reasonable to protest but not reasonable to block the entrance of a synagogue
And again if you want to protest, be proud and protest. Protesting with a mask means you know you are doing something wrong
Not at all. It means you fear retribution from malevolent people or trouble at work.
It's more what he loses if Biden wins. Biden will be far freer to do what he wants rather than having to worry about trump and the election
Biden could even decide that a political solution is his legacy.
What’s left of Biden by that time may be incapable of it. Others around him may have some ideas, hopefully.
Looks like Hamas will have one less supporter in the US Congress: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/25/nyreg...
Paywall summary please?
when Israel and the USA stop murdering Gazans, then Yemen will stop targeting ships enabling it on some level.
they are not shooting at uninvolved ships. they are doing a heroic deed to stop this murder. probably bc they understand all too well the depravity of an American backed genocidal campaign.
Has every ship attacked been carrying weapons to Israel? How can they know which ones are doing so?
This is really for anyone, not just Victor.
Fear is a natural human instinct so no they are not cowards. They fear the psychopaths of the far right, and with good reason.
It's already been explained to you that sites are run by the far right to explicitly dox protestors.
Are you a coward if your actual name isn't chillrob?

There is doxing done from the left as well, and there have been attacks on Jews in the US, but you still don't see those people wearing masks.
But sure, you go on and think they're strong and brave.
Very brave to sign up to a politics forum with your real name. Respect.
Lol at this part, as I'm probably the only person in this subforum who uses his real name as part of his user name and posts things that easily identify myself. Several times I have met someone in person and they immediately asked me if I was chillrob.
That I'm the only one here who uses his real name and is easily identifiable? I don't know that for sure, I said probably.
Victor may use his real name, as it it is an actual name and he said he was doxed by someone who used to be on the forum. No other user names of current regular usernames (that I can think of) look like a real name.
At first I thought your username could be a real name, until Google told me it was a curry.
Actually it's the name of my favourite terrorist organisation. It took me a long time choose one because I have so many 🙄
