81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The Trump administration is working very strongly to consider exploring the possibility of assessing whether, when and how to approach planning for the non-zero chance that a framework for a healthcare plan would be built.

Oh nice, fair enough! I bow to our language originators.

However I disagree that being patronizing to morons is never a good look, in fact, it’s our moral obligation. They get the energy they give and they can fuck off if they don’t like it.

You’re lying to yourself. If you really believe genocide was going on before 1948 in Palestine, you are either speaking in hyperbole, or you don’t know the actual history of the area.

Either way, you’re wrong. 🤷🏻

This will work any day now, guys. Just a few more hashtag comments on posts that have nothing to do with it, and those files will finally be released.

Those are called ‘parentheses’, but good try!

When you speak in hyperbole like that, it completely discredits your opinions on the subject.

No, because commenting on the ironic behavior of a group of people does not equate to denying that a genocide took place. What kind of dumbass reasoning is that?

This is the Straw Man logical fallacy, where you had to make up something I didn’t say to try and attack that.

Twisting what someone said into something they didn’t say, so you can attack them more easily, is called the Straw Man logical fallacy, and it means you’re wrong.

All these performative clowns really care about is crying ’sHaMe’ at people online. These are not serious people.

Your post is a great example of the Straw Man logical fallacy.

You try to twist something I said into something I didn’t say, so you can attack it more easily.

Not the hallmark of an intelligent person engaging in good faith.

I’m laughing at that person for thinking they, or any of us regular citizens, had any actual control over those two situations, not at the horrors taking place there. Context is important!

Starting to think you have reading comprehension problems…😬

Please do not cherry pick historical evidence.

We can both agree that Netanyahu has committed war crimes, and crimes against humanity, but people need to stop questioning Jewish indigeneity to the Levant, and therefore their right to be there. It is well documented, and DNA proves it beyond doubt.

Babylonian captivity - Wikipedia

No, the human cost, according to the earliest known written records, confirmed by secular historians and archeologists, was 2,622 years ago when King Nebuchadnezzar II destroyed Jerusalem, destroyed the first Temple, and forcibly removed 25% of the population.

‘Muh tax dollars’ is such a weak take. The US wields massive influence, and doesn’t have to directly fund a conflict in order for Americans to see injustice elsewhere.

And that’s beside the fact that the current ceasefire in Sudan was brokered by a US envoy.

So just because western governments aren’t vocal about supporting it means it doesn’t deserve the same attention?

Attention should be paid proportional to the human cost. Sudan’s nightmare has been going on longer and with a much higher human cost, so there’s the attention for them?

Most of the ‘Free Palestine’ crowd currently is quiet about it, and was quiet about it for the last two years.

Do a search of Bluesky for mentions of Gaza vs Sudan, and even though both of these atrocities were happening at the same time, Gaza gets way more attention.

You have no direct control over Sudan, but you think you had direct control over Gaza?

LOL

That copium must taste GOOD!

Can’t help but notice that most of these ‘Free Palestine’ soapboxers are stunningly quiet about the genocide (happening for longer and at a higher human cost) in Sudan.

Where are the cries for ‘Free Sudan’?

Interesting how when there are no Jews to blame and call colonizer it’s all crickets.

LOL, you’re not serious, right?

Elections, the tool used in *checks notes* DEMOCRACIES, to tally the will of the people, is somehow, ‘by definition’, anti-democratic??

What are with all these brain dead takes from communists and socialists, do you guys really not live in reality?

Yeah, avoid the literal authoritarianism to try and clap back with some ‘cOlOnIzEr’ lame ass shit. LOL

You’re pathetic. That shit doesn’t work anymore, you’ve beaten that purity test into oblivion.

Clap back with a good political argument instead of your dumbass logical fallacies.

Right…so that’s why I was asking for THEIR specific definition, but then they said none of the definitions fit them.

OP does not have an original thought of their own.

All I’m trying to get is a basic personal definition, in an attempt to understand.

Instead, they just fit the stereotype.
