“Jews weaponize the holocaust” you killed 6 million of us. You killed so many of us that you had to invent new ways of killing and of disposing of bodies. You used our bodies for experiments. You stole our property and homes. You used our gravestones for spare building materials. You should be fucking thankful we haven’t taken revenge. You should feel ashamed every time you even think of us.

[uraniumfever990]

That’s funny. I don’t recall killing anyone let alone 6 million Jews. In fact I’d venture a guess that most people alive today were born after the holocaust ended.

[nonbinaryjudean]

[spot-the-antisemitism]

is there a way to intrepret this that isnt BLATANT holocaust denial or……?

[atomicnightbouquet]

It's just some dumbfuck being like "well it didn't personally happen in MY lifetime and I PERSONALLY wasn't involved in it at all so how dare you imply that the Holocaust still has social ramifications and generational trauma. It happened so long ago can't you just let it go? The Holocaust is over so that means anyone born after it has no responsibilities to know history or care about people still in the aftereffects of genocide. I am very smart."

[uraniumfever990]

I don’t fucking care!!

Stop killing Palestinians!!

[philosopherking1887]

I'm amused (?) by the asymmetrical application of the "not directly responsible" principle. No one except the people who directly perpetrated the Shoah can be taken to bear any responsibility (not the descendants who continue to benefit from the property that their ancestors took from their murdered Jewish neighbors; not the nations that have legal continuity with the ones that either sponsored the murders, deported their own citizens, or stood by and turned away refugees while the murder took place); BUT random Jewish people on the internet can be told to "stop killing Palestinians" as if they, personally, are pushing the buttons to drop bombs and could stop anytime.

[thanatosra]

so by that persons logic, European descendants of those who helped kill jews in events like the holocaust and still benefit from their actions it like say Poland (who stole the land the jews used to own) and Germany cant be held accountable but random jews online can be held guilty for whats happening in gaza got it, this person is a idiot

My top theories as to why Americans don't have sports hooliganism compared to Europe/LatAm:

We put our kids into sports to teach them sportsmanship, emotional regulation, and how to lose gracefully

Professional sports are a business and having fights break out at stadiums is bad for business

Sports events are seen as a family thing, and people aren't going to tolerate hooligans trying to break out fights where kids are present

[troilvs]

Genuinely, is this sarcasm? Someone was put into a COMA following a spurs/knicks game like three weeks ago!! Whereas following England’s win against México last weekend Mexicans were celebrating WITH English fans in the streets of CDMX

- sportsmanship: I take you you didn’t follow the red card debacle during the World Cup. If the us had sportsmanship they would have stood by the ruling and not let balo play against Belgium.

- professional sports are a business everywhere what are you on about?? Literally go say that sentence in an Irish pub

- I’d argue that of the three groups you mentioned only latam views sports as a family thing. Let’s be real the us and Europe with their respective footballs are toxic masculinity at its finest

[afurioushawk]

Did the Knicks' riot have a body count? And what they did was so outrageous flipping those cars that it crossed the line and everyone else in the country told them off.

Sportsmanship is what made us (as in the collective country, not Trump) challenge the red card. We don't roll over for bullshit calls from rigged refs like the rest of the world, especially not on our home turf. Meanwhile, Egypt is right now blaming the Jews for them losing.

Didn't say there's no toxic masculinity, just that we don't have hooliganism like you see in Europe/LatAm.

[troilvs]

I think you buy into the American media and it’s general slander of other nations a bit too much. The news is always sensational for a reason. Have a nice day

[afurioushawk]

Imagine the American media talking about international soccer lol.

Later, mate!

[dappercat123]

I mean if someone was put into a coma that kinda qualifies as a body count,

I am not a fan of any sporting events so frankly can’t imagin giving enough of a shit to have any kind of freak out.

I’m also not a huge fan of posts like this that basically boil down to “I was thinking about how my culture is so much cooler then other ones and I think it’s because of this one thing” and it’s a thing that’s not at all exclusive to that culture.

[afurioushawk]

Again, the Knicks (and Eagles) fans are the outliers that prove the point. Every time they went too far, the rest of the country calls them out on it.

Hooligan culture is so normalized in Europe/LatAm that it's just expected and tolerated in a way that it's not tolerated here. Anyone who thinks we have hooliganism culture anywhere approaching the levels in Europe has never seen a soccer riot.

America should be proud about the fact that we don't have those kinds of normalized riots over here. We should be able to look Europe in the face and tell them that.

[thanatosra]

as a english person, yeah I still remember in 2024 when the holoigans teamed up with the far right in southport race riots where they blamed the murder of 3 children on a muslim immigrant. hologian culture is insane, people should not fear for their lives for going to a match it seems to be dying but needs to die quicker

[spockwithacat]

Bernie Sanders has such a bad track record with people he endorses that it should make you more suspicious of someone if he endorses them

[last-fast-naturalist]

Fuck off.

Senator Sanders works in government. His job is to reach out to others to effect change.

He isn’t clairvoyant. He doesn’t know these people’s previous lives. Who does, until they are accused of something ? (Which only ever seems to happen after they reach a specific level of notoriety, coincidentally. For better or worse)

Accusations are also not convictions. There’s no shortage of lies and accusations coming from “The Right” every goddamn day. The more progressive and influential the candidate, the more severe the attacks.

Have you heard Donald Trump ?!

Identify the bad. Support the good. Police the candidates with your vote. But, let facts be facts and the propaganda be just propaganda.

[spockwithacat]

Okay first of all can you tell me about all the amazing bill Bernie Sanders has passed, because if his job is to effect change then I don’t think he’s doing it.

Second off all yeah I do think he should have known the guy with a Nazi tattoo is bad actually.

[last-fast-naturalist]

. . . And, this is why Democrats lose. 🗳️

60 years of service. From fighting for Equal Housing Rights in Chicago, to walking with Martin Luther King, Jr, until now and you don’t know any of the bills Bernie has voted for, written, coauthored or sponsored ?

You assume someone is bad based on a 20 year old tattoo ? Then you attack someone you don’t know for not knowing someone else ? I’m not sure which is worse.

Ignorance, purity tests and 20/20 hindsight.

Voters like you are the reason we lose. Do better.

[jewishgay4il]

based on a 20 year old tattoo ?

which he clearly defended and had ample choice to walk back lmao AND it was evident that he was abusing his partners.

just say you support nazis and move on

[short-wooloo]

Still waiting on your answer for those bills he passed, where are the? If bernie has done so much it should be easy to name and source them

[thanatosra]

I to would like to know what bernie sanders has done apart from get some of the worst people into politics, gabbard, fettermen, guy with the nazi tattoo, I don't know a signle thing he has actually gotten passed in senate

[queer-scots-geordie-dyke]

Columnists and politicians and useful idiots constantly bleat "Israel is the source of all of the instability and violence in the Middle East." Because, naturally, if Israel didn't exist, the region would be a peaceful utopia of sunshine and rainbows. What planet do these people actually inhabit because it sure as shit isn't this one.

But what they're really saying is "if those damn Jews just laid down and let themselves be wiped from existence, the world would be a better place." They think they're being clever about it, but it's clear what they mean.

[nobsowowbshs]

Correction:

People say that israel is the source of the middle-east's stability in reference to a larger pattern that israel is the best example of: white colonialism.

Before you had all these separate countries- saudi arabia, Jordan, Syria, Iraq- it was all just one chunk of land with plenty of established cities but also plenty of Nomads too. Did all these people from all these different tribes agree with each other? Nah. But it didnt really matter all that much. There was enough land for everyone, and everyone could move around as they pleased.

Until a bunch of stinky old white men decided to cut up the middle east like a pizza with no consideration for language, culture, diversity, resource availability, and relationships between certain groups. In place of it, there was A LOT of malicious consideration as to how this move would create the perfect, disunified Arab world, incapable of ever pulling itself out of its own shit, and forced to forever be either subservient to the west, or war-torn and suffering.

We dont pick on the colonial masters such as the French and British, because they aren't our colonial masters anymore. They finally fucked off. We have nothing more to say to them. You know what remains though? Do you know the name of the shit-stain currently smeared across Palestine, threatening the West Bank and Gaza and surrounding countries? israel. That is our last enemy. We get rid of the people who are indiscriminately bombing Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran, who are turning Jordan into a country of second-class refugees, who are holding Qatar and Saudi in a political and economic lockjaw, and we can finally have just the tiniest sliver of a chance at healing.

israel is a result of that map-slicing event from over a century ago. And you, presumably a Jew, are almost as much of a victim as we are. The Brits gave you Palestine because they were anti-semites who wanted to get rid of you. Winston Churchill (owner of the quote "a dog in the manger does not have the right to the manger even if it has lain there for a very long time") vouched for the Zionist infestation of Palestine, but he famously also hated Jews with a passion. The evangelical Christians who defend israel now just want Jews to be in the right place at the right so that Christ their saviour can come down and destroy you all (their beliefs, not mine). israel relies on antisemitism and violent attacks on Jews all around the world so that they can go "see, Jews can never integrate in other countries, we are the only ones who will ever accept you and support you".

israel and its most devout supporters care about Zionists, not Jews. israel didnt care about Jews when they chose to supply weapons to Argentina's antisemitic operations. israel didnt care about Jews when they actively decided to continuously alienate and spread hate against diaspora to recruit them into their cult. israel, now, doesnt care about the native Jewish communities that the government beats and imprisons in response to their protests for their Palestinians fellows. And always remember, israel in its early stages was not for the black Jews or the Arab Jews or more specifically, the Palestinian Jews who they later killed.

It's white colonialism. Every damn time.

[queer-scots-geordie-dyke]

Wow... what a load of absolute and utter bollocks. It's actually breathtaking how much outright shite you managed to fit into a couple of paragraphs. "You, presumably a Jew" - guess again, motherfucker but I don't need to be Jewish to recognise you're full of crap.

The irony of accusing anyone else of antisemitism when you use phrases like "shit stain smeared across Palestine" and "Zionist infestation."

Fuck off, Nazi prick 🖕

[thanatosra]

one chunk of land the person says when was that when alexander the great conquered it or before when the persian empire owned it, or was it rome, maybe it was when the eastern romen empire and the persian empire (their was a new one don't worry about it) till the arabs showed up to conquer the region with the uyumid calpahite, then the turks showed up to conquer the region, then the crusades then salladin a kurd conquered it, then the turks came back with the ottomans till the ottoman empire joined ww1 to reclaim its lost land it lost to Independence movements then after the ottomans colapsed the british and french came in

like what on earth is this person talking about

[anartificialsatellite]

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. These people will tell you with their whole chest that any random 20yo Black USAF deskjockey is a full ass war criminal but a former Blackwater mercenary with a nazi tattoo is a leftist hero? I fucking hate you.

"People can change! That was so long ago! I want to believe people can change! Do you want to be pure or do you want to win?"

I will not stand here and be lectured on "do you want to be pure or do you want to win" by the same motherfuckers whose purity politics put Trump in office. Kiss the entirety of my fat ass.

[thanatosra]

these same people attacked kamala for accepting the help of liz cheany a anti trump person from day 1 but are now accepting someone who blamed women for being raped and had a nazi tattoo

[afurioushawk]

Leftists have ratfucked us for the last fucking time. No fucking Nazis in the party.

If I lived in Maine, I'd do what I've never done in my life and vote for a Republican, I'd vote for Susan Collins. Skipping Graham Platner's name on the ballot might feel better, but it's effectively the same thing, and we need to teach both the left a lesson and the Democrats for not crushing Platner completely.

At least Susan Collins doesn't have a Nazi tattoo. You know where you stand with her cowardly ass.

[rose-in-a-fisted-glove]

You know what? He says he didn't know. That he was in his 20s and drunk and thought it was a good idea. And looking at it, I can see how he thought it was a type of skull tattoo. Its not one of the more famous ones among gentiles. He's gone through years of background checks without it pinging, he says.

And now that someone has brought it up, he's covered it with something else. He says he didn't want to wait for a removal specialist to be available, he wanted it gone and now, so he had it covered.

What's more important? Teaching the Left a "lesson" or voting for someone who listens to your concerns and is willing to admit when he's wrong and make necessary changes?

[afurioushawk]

Shut up, Nazi.

[rose-in-a-fisted-glove]

If we want any progress in this country, we have to let people come back from the hate they walked in the past.

He's said that his comments in 2012 were hateful and ignorant, and he's right. They were. Hateful and ignorant and harmful. They are also from over a decade ago, there haven't been indications that I've seen that he still feels this way, have you seen any recent ones?

Again, would you rather have someone capable of looking at himself and realizing he was wrong and needed to change, or would you rather "teach someone a lesson" and cut off everyone's nose to spite your own face.

Given you jumped straight to calling me a nazi, I can guess which you are. But for anyone less entrenched in vitriol and the need to feel righteous than you, hopefully they see this and think.

[afurioushawk]

You leftists are such jokes and I'm glad the rest of America is being exposed to your white supremacy. Now everyone knows you support a Nazi candidate.

Damn right we're going to teach y'all a lesson. Y'all have been ratfucking us for the past 26 years. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. It's time you get a taste of your own medicine.

[thanatosra]

why are people so determined to vote for as guy who said women deserved to be raped, had a nazi tatoo and joked about it for years and only apologised (and even then claimed he did not know what it was) and had it covered up (not removed but he had time to go on holiday but still choose not to remove it) cause he is running for office and worked for one of the most vile Mercenary companies blackwater, made jokes about killing people

anything else I have missed from platner

also where in Croatia did he get that tattoo cause it is a very bad legal risk as croatia hates nazis so it cant of been legal

[short-wooloo]

I've seen some reactions to the speculation that Devon Izara could end up becoming a canon compliant version of Darth Talon

Many of them are of the incredulous variety, being all "how can that be, Talon lived 200 years later, she can't be Talon", and it made me realize something

One way or another, Devon becoming Talon in some way could be a lot of people's first realization that legends was not canonical, and that new (high) canon stuff is not bound by it in any way, they're free to do what they please with the ideas and concepts from legends

Case and point: Talon in legends was a genuine sith lord, born and raised, living 125+ years after the original trilogy

But there is no obligation of canon material to stick with that, if they want to they are free to re imagine Talon as an early imperial era former Jedi turned non-sith dark sider

[thanatosra]

I know the comics are considered secondary to the shows (looking at you book of boba fett with black krashantan) but like legends stuff has been showing up in the comics for a while (rurr and durge both show up in the dr aphra comics) unlike thrawn which fitted his legends counter part almost 1 to 1,

so this really is the first big legends to cannon change in the open thats not in the comics if she really is talon

Also we have not fucking lost "hundreds of years of progress", things are bad enough without making things up, the word "hundreds" implies AT MINIMUM, 200 years, things now, in mid April of 2026 are NOTHING like what they were in April of 1826, much less 1726, 1626, and so on

[thanatosra]

hundreds of years of progress in the us wiped away what are these people smoking, like women barely even have the right to vote a 100 years ago, non white people haven't even had the right to vote for 100 years yet, also same sex marriage is still legal in the us and that was only 11 years ago but go on leftists about progress going that far back.

things are getting worse for sure and its these leftists fault for going we want trump to win cause reasons

What's the difference between a 19 year old suicide bomber in the west bank and a 19 year old idf soldier gleefully shooting kneecaps in gaza shouting "death to arabs" and dancing in schools that they bombed?

The former has repeatedly happened, is financially rewarded by both the PA and Hamas, and is an explicit attack on civilians.

The latter is a fabrication or composite, the IDF and Israeli courts punish misconduct by soldiers, and the IDF has no policy of attacks on civilians - just combatants.

...and the age of either isn't at all relevant to the question.

This was a remarkably stupid question - feel free to ask better ones.

[sapphia]

Are we… anti-hassan now?

He is right to make a fuss about this. Newsome is likeable, moderate, and establishment. He is Biden. He is Harris. He is Clinton. He will win over moderates and make water-weak liberals go “this is the guy with the solutions!” And then he will fund Israel, turn a blind eye to genocide in Palestine, and spend his whole presidency struggling against insurance companies to make healthcare affordable in a way that works better for Americans but also doesn’t upturn the system or truly put it within reach of the average citizen, and pleases mostly the middle classes.

He is the guy who will block AOC by having more powerful friends and then lose massive swathes of voter support and miss vital economic opportunities for total reform because he is a moderate.

Newsome built his popularity from forcing homeless people off the streets. This is incredibly popular with moderates because it is so very reasonable it is on its face due to the resources and housing offered to the homeless at the same time. It is a kinder and more effective means of reducing visible homelessness and the effects it has on the urban population without resorting to policies that are viewed by most as cruel and not supportive of the vulnerable populations it is being enforced against.

But it is still compulsion. It is still paternalistic. It is still the removal of choice from people the state has let down. It still prioritises the comfort of the middle classes over the autonomy of the vulnerable. It still demonises addicts and the mentally ill and those living in poverty.

It is a good political policy, and he is a good politician. It is a good compromise that prioritises the position of the majority of the populace and provides a more ethical and effective solution than mere move on orders, which are a tool and preference of the right. It connects the impoverished to social services

This may shock you, but the battle between moderatism and meaningful transformation of the system is not an American phenomenon. It is not Hassan’s fault he falls on the side of an issue in which his personal values will pit himself against the establishment democratic candidate. I cannot and do not blame him for refusing to support, in the preliminaries, a candidate who is promising to keep America complicit in the genocides and wars in the middle east. And the “threat of not voting” has become the only genuine means of interfacing with the democratic party, which is why this rhetoric abounds. Every. Time.

I do not support third party voting in America, and I dislike rhetoric that proposes it as a real protest vote. But at the same time, when that is your only leverage, your only real way of influencing the party and its core base, I can’t condemn a middle eastern man for opposing the unflinching genocide and imperialist conquest of his own people, or the (mild) rhetoric he employs.

Newsome is Hillary. Literally. He is the Dem’s pick to contest the seat against the same guy the real left actually love: Bernie Sanders, now with AOC in tow. They are the alternative STILL, a DECADE after losing to Hillary in 2016. If Bernie had won the primary, I truly believe we would have avoided both Trump presidencies. But he lost because the establishment rallied around the establishment candidate with moderatist positions that would not upset their donors too much, and then that candidate could not beat Trump because it was clear to voters that is what the establishment had done.

Newsome’s popularity promises a repeat of 2016. If y’all want to go down that road, fine by me, I’m not an American. But the idea that this is Hassan’s fault or that Hassan is in the wrong for opposing and expressing frustration about this endless Democrat stranglehold on leftist politics that puts pro-war, pro-genocide, pro-imperialist, anti-transformation candidates into the only position that can possibly compete in the real election over those with genuine grassroots popularity is so insane it makes me think this rhetoric has come directly from the right. Certainly “makes his money fomenting political discord” is a right wing accusation (made by people who do exactly the same thing to discredit entirely credible moral positions). And I don’t think we need to help them out with that, do you?

[afurioushawk]

[totallyjustabunchofhocuspocus]

I swear to Christ...the choice is going to be an Establishment Democrat (be it Harris, Newsom, Beshear, WHOEVER) and Trump's Designated Heir. One of those two will be the President. Not a mystical 3rd party savior. Not Bernie. Not AOC. An Establishment Democrat or Trump's Designated Heir.

Whose finger do you want on the trigger of the loaded weapon pointed at our faces?

That's it. That's the choice you get. I'm sorry that it sucks. I'm sorry that it's not fair. I'm sorry that true progressives will not be able to meaningfully gain power in this country at the national scale for a long, long time. Believe me. I would like to believe that I'm not going to spend the rest of my life shoveling shit in the hopes that my nieces and nephews and students will still be able to have some kind of future, but here we are.

Who do you want holding the loaded gun aimed at your face? Catwoman or The Joker? Loki or Thanos? Someone who is Nominally Interested in keeping you happy by at least not making life substantially worse or someone who would very much like to reinact the Third Reich with COMPLETE historical accuracy?

That's it. That's the choice.

[carolxdanvers]

How is it that every couple of years you fuckin goobers forget that "I will not vote for this candidate if they run for president" is the LITERAL only way to make sure that an unsatisfactory candidate does not get the nomination?

Ohhhh, poor baby, an UnSaTiSfAcToRy candidate??? Omg you poor thing, i can't think of ANYTHING worse than a candidate being unsatisfactory in a few aspects, can you?? I feel so terrible for you! How can we ease your suffering?? We should definitely make sure everyone, especially the most vulnerable, suffers as much as possible because the ALTERNATIVE is an *unsatisfactory candidate*!!1!1!

[carolxdanvers]

Piss poor ass reading comprehension. Is Newsom the democratic presidential candidate? No? The primaries still haven't happened? Then why the fuck are you sucking his dick so hard? Imagine being this fucking ridiculous over someone saying that making your dissatisfaction with a candidate clear EARLY in the process prevents a shitty candidate from receiving the nomination? Should we tell anybody else thinking of running for the democratic nomination that they are trying to kill vulnerable people because you, some rando on the internet, already decided that we should simply hand the nomination to Newsom? Are you fucking twelve?

I've held my nose and voted for unsatisfactory democratic candidates in the past because I'm not a moron. I've also campaigned for candidates in the primaries who I would have preferred as president. That's the fucking process, you absolute child

The dumbest thing about the whole "oh, the Fall of Atlas is Ruby's fault!" bs (it makes sense for Ruby to blame herself, it doesn't make sense for the audience to do so) is... the argument is basically that because Ruby and the other heroes wanted to evacuate Mantle instead of leaving everyone there to die, and went with a risky evacuation plan, everything that went wrong afterwards is their fault - but not a single part of that would have happened if Ironwood hadn't destroyed the SDC airships that were trying to evacuate Mantle and then threatened to destroy Mantle with a nuclear bomb

[thanatosra]

that plan would not of even worked, like amproguis entire gimmick is you have to have a idea of what your idea is, so how would ironwoods float away plan even work, more thrusters you need dust where you gonna get the dust to stay in the air, dust stops working the closer to space you get, salem had a giant whale she can follow you, this plan just doesn't make any sense beyond it being ironwood making a plan based on fear
