Is that what you took away from that comment?

Learn some fucking history, because it’s repeating.

And that’s wrong.

Seems contradictory, no?

Well, they know who you are, and you better believe that you are on several of their lists. So hopefully you will be able to take solace in the fact that you “took the high road” during the last real election this country will ever have, when you’re huddled up in some white person’s basement, hiding from the government.

There is no way for you, or anyone, to know how many people abstained from voting over any one issue, 🤡

Yeah but also they all die anyway. Nobody is “saved” in this situation. In fact, it’s way worse now.

What’s going to happen in Gaza is going to be horrifying.

Well luckily for you, it will never matter ever again.

I actually had someone tell me a month or so back that genocide is as bad as it gets and you can’t make it worse once it’s genocide

This was a very common argument I saw. Unfortunately, I think there are people who bought it. It’s so ahistorical, and nobody seems to know anything about the conditions in Germany pre-WW2 (or probably most of the atrocities that the Nazis committed).

There are levels to this shit, it’s not just an on/off switch.

It can (and will) absolutely get far far worse in the West Bank.

Palestinians in the West Bank are largely pessimistic about Donald Trump’s re-election, viewing it as unlikely to significantly worsen their already dire situation

Surely they meant “likely”?

There will people who will become billionaires from that volatility.

And they’ll get away with it because no more SEC!

Listen, I hate my country right now, and am disgusted by the people who live here…

That’s it, that’s the end of my sentence.

Him and Joe Rogan

I can understand having trauma related to the topic

What are you even talking about? Was this meant to be some kind of clever retort suggesting that I’d been forcibly sterilized, and that’s why I’m commenting on it?

Such a self-report, and you don’t even realize it. You cannot even comprehend someone giving a shit in the way that I did, unless the thing specifically happened to me.

Great way to tell everyone that you don’t understand empathy without actually saying it.

I installed Bottles, but was disappointed when it didn’t actually have anything to do with bottles.

If you think every name of every product, etc., is going to be literal… you’re gonna have a tough time in life.

It’s very Maynard-coded

and I’m so amazed how well it just works with proton.

Yeah dude!

I’m relatively new to Linux, so I don’t really have any experience pre-proton. But I get the feeling that there are TONS of people who haven’t tried it in years, that truly do not understand how far it has come. I’m sure they’ve heard that before, etc., but I can say that it’s 100% true this time.

If you haven’t tried gaming on Linux since before the Steam Deck came out, I implore you to give it another shot. Even better if you use a gaming-oriented distro (I’m on Bazzite now, and it has been wonderful).

Admittedly, I don’t play any games with anti-cheat, but my linux gaming experience over the past two years or so has been outstanding. I don’t believe I have encountered a single game that I have wanted to play, but could not. And 99.9% of them work without any tweaking required.

This comment conflates jail and prison as if they’re the same thing, and they are not. It’s an important distinction.

They probably don’t have the resources for name tags…

I know you were making a joke, but it is foolish to believe for one second that this wasn’t done intentionally as a form of dehumanization and public humiliation.

Does it really matter so much that the IDF writes a number on their forehead, when they’re also bombing children? Is a marker really a greater evil than a bomb?

Yes, it really matters. Both things matter. Do we have to make “Israel war crime” tier lists before determining if we should care about something? It’s all awful. And it’s all inter-related anyway. This is the type of dehumanization that allows IDF soldiers to murder so many women and children without remorse.

And I could see someone who does not have an understanding of history, and the historical context around this level of dehumanization, could not fully grasp the symbolism here.

But yes, this is something that we 100% should be talking and worrying about.

Right, but I wouldn’t call those places “prisons,” and even if they once were, they ceased being such when they started using them as fucking black sites to torture people
