Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Palestinian Territory – Israel’s army has again massacred Palestinian civilians who had gathered in Gaza to obtain humanitarian aid, targeting them with gunfire from helicopters, tanks, and drones near the Kuwait roundabout on the outskirts of Gaza City. This incident has resulted in over 60 deaths and 160 injuries, some of which are critical.

Cool strategy bro. Let's play Chicken with our politics. That's some real 4D chess there.

I mean, it's not like our entire political infrastructure and way of lives could be determined by the next election.

You're right, I guess we need to do nothing while thousands of children slowly starve to death before our eyes. I suppose it's just a sacrifice we have to make.

This is dumb.

Destroying your own livelihood is not going to stop the Gazan Massacre. It'd be like if you threatened to burn down your local hospital if they don't start admitting more uninsured people. Your actions will help no one, and make things worse for everyone.

You want to fix a problem? Then take steps to actually fixing them. Not threatening to destroy everything around you like a fucking child.

How's this, why don't you go burn down your home or your parents home as a form of protest. It'll really make a message about the destroyed homes in Gaza. Oh, your not going to do it? I guess your just as bad as I am. Hypocrite.

Me: Don't vote for someone guilty of genocide

You: Burn down your house or you're a hypocrite

Yes, ignore any other logic in my post, and just hyperfixate on the end. Lol you're just a troll at this point. Your logic sucks and it's clear that all your trying to do is get people to not vote for Biden.

Go be a troll elsewhere.

> all your trying to do is get people to not vote for Biden.

that sounds like a laudable, ethical goal. why should someone vote for a racist, corrupt, imperialist, zionist?

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because what's the alternative, dingus? Pray tell, what alternative do you think is going to fix the situation? Oh, voting for Trump or letting Trump win? Pray tell, how do you think that will go? It's like your whole thought process exists in a pathetic little microcosm and you just can't seem to see the big picture.

[–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social 1 points 8 months ago

voting won't fix this situation. you don't need to do something immoral like vote for biden, though. you could vote for someone who wouldn't do the bad things that we all know biden and trump would do.

No, not the ad hominem!
