What a naive take. Violence is absolutely necessary in the face of attempted genocide. Dr. King did not espouse absolute pacifism–he only argued for the efficacy of non-violence in *social movements*. The X-Men’s struggle is not primarily for civil rights, but against the attempted genocide of mutants.

The entire Palestinian plight is a perfect example of the inevitable end results of separatism. All it does is foster hatred, justify oppression, and make ethnic cleansing and genocide inevitable.

Tribalism is ingrained in the human condition. It served an important evolutionary purpose which humans no longer require in order to succeed as a species. I find it troubling how many think that “Separate but equal’ is a viable option for society. Historically it has never worked. Not one time. People believing that…

Is politics boring right now? Because last time I checked the US was helping Israel carry out a genocide.

Absolutely nothing, which is why it’s the perfect place to put them. I’d rather they titled the sketch “AI Town Forum” and left out the fact that B&B are in there, because the gag is dependent on the idea of B&B’s presence there being completely out of left field.

“What do B&B have to do with AI?”

Yeah, there’s a sketch comedy cool kid ethos that says breaking during a sketch represents a kind of violation of a sacred trust between writer and performer and audience. And certainly you never want to go Full Fallon. But seeing a seasoned professional (and a very funny performer) like Gardner just absolutely lose…

This tired-ass lie

“If nothing else, the parallel of these two wars is that Israel is the Russia, not the Ukraine.”

Sure buddy, if only Hamas released a few more hostages, Israel will dial back the genocide it has spent decades building up to.

Shot them while they were waving white flags. If that isn’t evidence of war crimes being committed on the regular, I don’t know what is.

Man, imagine how envious Heinrich Himmler would be of that system. All he had to use was IBM punch cards.

Hey, now: it could also mean that the trigger-happy IDF has shot/bombed the hostages already!

Lol genocide supporter

I’m not going to engage with diversionary tactics. There is no excuse for the behavior of the Israeli government.

They’re not just indiscriminately killing aid workers, they are deliberately targeting them. 

Their “Jewishness” is important because Glazer’s detractors have questioned his own “Jewishness”.

I think it’s a delicate issue.  But given how frequently supporters of Israel’s conduct in Gaza work to portray any criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, I do think there’s value in noting how many Jewish people are also deeply troubled by Israel’s conduct.

I love when people forget the sequence of events in a way that immeditely exposes their biases.
