  • Slight correction on the slight correction, It’s just semantics on when you start counting.

    “Homo-Sapiens” specifically only appeared around 200k years ago, though their “Homo” ancestors were around for around 2Million or so.

    I personally start counting at the “Hominin”, around 7 million years ago, because while it broke off into chimps as well, “homos” still came from there (this is as far back as we know about afaik).

    Edit: and yes, if I could I would trace it back to the first single celled organism in our link, though we don’t currently know enough about this for me to feel comfortable doing so, this would give us around 3-4 billion years of evolution leading to our desks.







  • I’m not even saying Biden or Harris are holding Israel back. I’m saying Trump has openly stated that he wants to push Israel even further than it is already going.

    Yes, you are repeatedly stating this while seemingly ignoring that Kamala and Biden are already doing genocide, because it doesn’t get worse than that. If Kamala isn’t stopping the genocide or even holding Israel back, how will Trump be worse? What could Trump possibly do that’s worse than genocide? “Finish the job” vs “finish the job faster”, either way the same result, genocide.

    As I stated in my last message, if Trump gets in and starts directing Israel how to do the genocide and demands they do it faster, there’s a real chance his incompetence leads to its failure. Whereas under Kamala Biden it’s already been ongoing for over a year.

    If we have to choose between “slow effective genocide” vs “fast sloppy genocide” I’m choosing the sloppy one. As it has the best chance of failing. (I don’t support this argument of choosing a “lesser genocide” though, just stating the flaws in your argument).

    Considering you apparently didn’t read what I actually wrote and instead chose to insult me over something you made up

    They most likely insulted you because they read what you wrote, the same reason I didn’t respond initially.

    Your entire previous reply to me is ignoring context almost to the point of strawmanning and borderline genocide denial*. It comes off as someone who doesn’t actually care about the issue and just wants to get their talking points out about why genocidal Trump is bad and genocidal Democrats are good.

    *edit for clarification: the “Trump would do it faster” is an echo of the “it’s not a genocide because they could destroy Palestine anytime and haven’t” form of denialism


  • To quote him: ““From the start, Harris has worked to tie Israel’s hand behind its back, demanding an immediate ceasefire, always demanding ceasefire”.

    Okay? Do you usually treat what Trump says as gospel? …Do you think she got a ceasefire or successfully restrained Israels genocidal ambitions so far?

    Materially, what is the difference between them.

    “Genocide but sad” vs “Genocide and happy”, I’m not choosing Genocide period.

    However bad things currently are, Trump’s openly-stated position that horrific situation is that Israel needs to go in harder.

    Things are genocide, Harris’ openly stated positions are horrific and enabling of a genocide we have seen be carried out.

    Kamala Harris is actively engaging in genocide and it’s worked for over a year, you’re engaging in hypotheticals on it getting worse based off Trump’s words. Perhaps Trump’s incompetence would even lead to a forced end to the genocide if we are engaging in hypotheticals, in fact, I’d wager thats much more likely than Harris suddenly switching from a genocider to a compassionate human being and ending it.


  • Because why would a pro-Palestine person vote for the person who has aided the genocide against them and continues to vow further support for the regime responsible?

    The way I see it, the USA has a two party system and in the next few weeks they’re either going to have Trump or Harris as president, come inauguration day. With this in mind doesn’t it make sense to vote for the person least likely to escalate the situation even more.

    How is Kamala less likely to escalate it further when she has supported the actual ongoing genocide? What will Trump escalate it to? Double genocide? Either way I’m not voting for Trump so I don’t have to agree with his policies. I’m just not going to let the Dems conduct Genocide and scare me into agreeance with them using the threat of Trump.

    If you’re talking about escalation with Iran, we have already been working with Israel for a “response” to Iran response and she has again supported Israels right to continue their provocations in the name of “defense”.

    Giving your vote to an independent or worse not voting at all, just gives more of a chance for Trump to win the election and then who knows what crazy stuff he will allow, or encourage, Israel to get away with.

    Crazy stuff like genocide? Expanding the “war” in Gaza into Lebanon? Provoking Iran with a strike on their soil then planning “retaliation” for their retaliation?

    As sure nobody wants to vote for a party allowing these heinous crimes to be committed, but given you’re getting one of them shouldn’t you be voting for the one that will be the least horrible of the two.

    Kamala is actively engaged in a genocide. There should be punishments for this. The least of which should be losing your role in any sort of elected office. A vote for Kamala is literally a vote saying that you are okay with genocide as long as it benefits you to do so.






  • For reciprocal holidays like Christmas, giving cash maybe gets a little too close to exposing the pointlessness. I give you cash, then you give me cash, what are we doing here? And what if I gave you less than you gave me?

    How does a gift card solve this though?

    I give you Starbucks™ cash and you give me Chipotle™ cash. What are we doing here? What if I gave you more Starbucks™ cash then you gave me Chipotle™ cash?

    It’s literally just money with brand loyalty.
