If you said nothing about the tens of thousands of people the Islamic Republic massacred last month but suddenly care about Iranian lives now that this occupying regime is under attack, your so-called concern is actually performative. It was never about humanity and dignity for you; it's about ideology, and in this case, your ideology has driven you to the side of dictators and terrorists.

honestly kind of astounded by how readily leftists adopted the "israel is a safe haven for pedophiles" talking point. like you'd think "the lone jewish state in the entire world uniquely protects pedophiles" would be too explicitly antisemitic for them but i guess not

[hawkinthird]

But it is so

[spider-elf-11-deactivated202509]

Authorities in Guatemala resist efforts by a Jewish sect to recapture 160 children rescued from its premises.

Maybe the state should stop protecting pedophiles then?

It says in their own religious books it's okay to rape children if they are of certain ages.

[xclowniex]

Reddit.com is not a reliable source. And actually the talmud says it is not okay to rape children and anyone who does should be punished.

But of course it's easier to go "jews evil" rather than actually be of use to society

This map is actually a missile alert map. Incredibly embarrassing for you ngl💀

Fact Check: Image of Map Does NOT Show Location Of Sex Offenders In Israel -- It's Manipulated Screenshot From App That Shows Real-Time Red

Does an image of a map with a cluster of red location pins show the locations of sex offenders in...

[mermer404]

I find it kind of morbidly ironic that the map they shared not only doesn't show that Israel is a safe haven for pedophiles, it shows that due to terrorism it's not a safe haven period. You can't make this shit up.

Nobody talks about how the left's complete pivot to Gaza made it so climate change was completely forgotten.

Biden signed the biggest bill to support clean energy, but it doesn't mean shit because of Gaza.

Greta Thunberg switched from the girl who was concerned for the future of humanity to this one localized conflict.

And don't give me that "it's all the same fight" shit, or "the bombs ruin the environment".

The truth is, it's peanuts.

We are talking about the fates of every person on the planet.

If we don't change course, Millions will die. Hundreds of millions will lose their home.

Nobody on the planet will live the same again.

And you'd expect that all these people, who supposedly cared so much about this just a few years ago, will give it any attention.

I'm not even asking for more attention than Gaza. Just any amount of real effort to the biggest threat humanity has ever faced.

But no.

They have a new toy to play with.

I think in the coming months you will see a transformation in the political entertainment industry.

A man was killed for being in the business of offending people. Left or right, podcast or YouTuber, the media will care about this FAR more than when school children are shot praying or Jews are lit on fire or black people are shot while buying value groceries.

Let’s see Jon Oliver make a show about how offensive dissident justifies public execution.

[kick-a-long]

… apparently a school was shot up at the same time and the media/political entertainment establishment ignored it for Kirk…

They literally care more about the shooting of a political entertainer than school children…

Can we fucking talk about gun control yet? This is like living in fucking GTA? Is no one else fucking bothered? We’re all ok with living in the misery so long as we can also watch assholes murdered too? This is literally monkeys throwing shit and bullets at each other. Jesus Christ.

[mermer404]

Charlie Kirk was a terrible man who spread terrible, bigoted, harmful opinions and his political influence made the world a worse, less safe place — including and up to, in a twist of irony I am not blind to; the permissive gun regulations that in huge part led to his death.

However, random people taking up arms and shooting people... is still bad. Those permissible gun regulations, irony and all, are still an evil thing that I thought we as leftists are staunchly against. The fact an amoral man got a taste of his own poison is ironic but I feel our hate for this one man should be immensely less significant than our strong anti-posion stance. Context is important. You're putting up party balloons inside the poison factory.

Gun violence is evil even when it's done to shitty people. Cheering for gun violence whilst wearing your pro gun control badge is hypocrisy and its own flavour of irony.

We need. To be. PRAGMATIC. This is, even if not at all sad to you, an opportunity to leverage towards, finally, better fucking gun regulations. I'm not debating whether your memes are in good taste, I'm saying they're bad for our cause and they make you look like a huge hypocrite.

Like clockwork

[mermer404]

I know this is beside the point but like. Islamophobia is. Also a word.

As are hinduphobia, christophobia, and so on. As for why the word is unique (rather than Juduphobia or what-have-you) it is because, well

Seeing a mainstream movie (Wicked 2024) portray the rise of facism in a way so heavily influenced/mirroring the history of the holocaust right at the height of an age filled with holocaust denial and holocaust inversion is Making Me Feel All Sorts Of Ways.

I think people should be allowed to sleep in the same bed in a non sexual and non romantic way. I think cuddles can happen non sexually and non romantically. I think most acts of affection are non sexual and non romantic until you make it sexual or romantic (other than the obvious things like actual sex is sexual)

[veliseraptor]

have realized that while i am not a fan necessarily of "people meet and immediately fall in love" i am a fan of "people meet and are immediately obsessed with each other." the love can come later but the absolute fixation should be immediate
