As opposed to Israel which considered Palestinians just Arab colonizers and them just the righteous people who is going back to their land so they want them either expulsed to Egypt and other countries or kill them

??? This is literally the official position of the Russian Federation — they consider Ukrainians colonizers who unjustly rebelled and stole Russian land, assets, and production. Putin does not want to assimilate Ukrainians; the intention is total extermination and replacement with ethnic Russians, and always has been.

I am not here to debate which genocide is worse, because plainly, Palestinians are suffering yawning abuses that would make even Mussolini blush. I am just saying that Palestine is not the only active genocide happening in the world right now. Ukraine can fight back; Palestine cannot. That is plainly on a different level. There's no need to imply I am an idiot just because I pay attention to other stuff happening in parts of the world that don't report in English.

Palestine is the only place where there is a war of extemination right now

Listen, I am about as active as any non-Israeli or non-Palestinian can be in anti-genocide discourse, but you're smoking crack if you think that Russia's intentions for Ukraine are to simply absorb their government and people. Russians by and by large do not believe Ukrainian culture is a thing, and in fact, have been breaking chunks off from their culture and absorbing it as their own since Moscow was founded by a couple of guys who got lost in the woods.

Russia's goal is absolute cultural annihilation, and their actions have fit the standard definition of genocide since 2022.

I have long been of the opinion that if you read newspaper headlines like a WWF announcer, it really is indiscernible.

PRO-PALESTINE ACTORS ABSOLUTELY SLAM APARTHEID CLYDE, TAKING A SIXTY FOOT PLUNGE OFF OF HELL IN A CELL AND DIRECTLY ONTO AN ANNOUNCERS' TABLE!!!!! BAWGAWD, THAT'S TRUMP'S THEME MUSIC

It's just kind of safe to assume that at this point, Conservatism's only purpose is to fuck kids. I would appreciate hearing any arguments for Conservatism that do not contain the sentence "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" because in 20 years, not a single pair of people have been able to produce the same definition of what that even fucking means.

What, you oppose money getting gay married or some horseshit like that?

I am not sure cryptocurrency even has a practical use outside of money laundering. I guess it's a casino, too.

If it turns out anything like Reddit's attempt, the false-positive rate is going to be astronomical.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Russia is pouring the entire future of its nation-state into keeping Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, so, I think it's probably inevitable at this point given how little international support Ukraine has by now.

Why wouldn't you need troops to stand at that border and make sure that Russia can't just regroup and invade again in 6 years? Wouldn't you call that 'Peacekeeping'?

I guess, but you will lead a lonely life if you can't find common struggle with people in different scenarios than our own. We can easily lose our soul with these endless purity tests — for some reason, Leftists, progressives, and liberals seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next Jesus Christ, who will just simply energize voters by consequence of, I dunno, magic or some shit.

Neil Young is still a working musician who needs to get his face and music in front of as wide and as general of an audience as possible — why wouldn't they be where people are? That's what makes this stand so important. Homie needs Facebook and Insta and still said no.
