I want to get off LLM Jordan Peterson's wild ride.

Post-industrial Buddhism is what it is. Yeah like it'd be great to do that in a cave or forest or open prairie but who the fuck can afford those things?

Abandoned buildings are free as long as you don't fuck with the native inhabitants' meth.

With how racist they are towards China?

I mean it would work out better for them but I'm pretty sure brics doesn't need such an economic and cultural drag, even if it would be very, very funny.

The UN says its genocide. The icc says it's close enough to genocide for the Israeli government to be arrested, every non Israeli historian with a specialty in genocide says its genocide.

And yes, the questions have been "do you support the governments actions against Gaza and the Palestinian people", and yes those actions are known to be genocide by the people that carried them out, i.e. the general public in Israel thanks to mandatory IDF service.

There used to be 2 million people in Gaza. There's now at most 1.2 million by most outside estimates. Deaths stopped being counted when all the hospitals, and that's not an exaggeration, were bombed in Gaza. So no one has been counting the dead.

You don't get to say Ukraine has it worse, because they don't. Objectively. No part of their experience is pleasant, but it's simply incomparably better.

I'm glad you can support genocide and say it's the only way to prevent genocide.

I don't believe that's the case and I never will.

We are fundamentally different species, divided on that thought; whether crossing an uncrossable line is okay to theoretically save yourself.

I will never be sorry for not supporting genocide, as you will never be sorry for supporting it. Neither of us will change each others minds, we can only hope that only one of our species survived this admin and the rise of the far right.

That's one way to use immigrant labor in a largely xenophobic society that has gone too far into capitalism to avoid immigrant underclass labor.

The Israeli public, at least 60-68% of it consistently supports genocide, even as they are direct witnesses and for the most part due to mandatory IDF enlistment, participate in it.

Most people in Russia hate their government and military, beyond some basic notion that they should be the toughest because they're Russian. Most people in China, especially the military, have nothing to do with any alleged genocide.

But the Israeli public is different. That is why they get less respect.

The Nazis were popular in Germany for a time, the Israeli government is no different at the moment. Both populations should not be respected even a little, given they have largely chosen and supported attrocities.

Asking for one that isn't a genocidal maniac shouldn't be the impossible bar that you consider perfect.

I don't know about you people, but I'm not a genocidal person, I don't think genocide is a good thing, and I don't believe a cult of fascists have a divine right to kill the brown people.

I don't think it's that big of an ask to have at least one candidate that believes the same as me in this very common notion.

There's a level of mental gymnastics here that I've not seen since before the bad place banned me.

Green cards can be revoked, as a punishment after a jury trial for a felony. None of that happened, ice revoked a green card unilaterally. Given they broke the rules there, they will break the rules on citizenship when it interferes with their goal.

Ice is already infamous for detaining us citizens for months at a time. Why wouldn't they push that further?

They've also reported us citizens 'by mistake' several times during the Obama and Trump I presidency.

Also deporting the kids is deporting the kids regardless of other circumstances. They were processed for deportation through ice. That will forever be on their civil records and make life harder if the US is still around when they grow up and if they're stupid enough to ever try to return.

Most legal immigrants in the us skew right wing and tend to hate immigrants of all kinds, believing themselves to be the only ones worthy of immigrating and believing only their struggles matter.

After all you tend to immigrate to countries you share values with if it's your choice; it's only natural the worst of the worst legally immigrate to the US. From doctors that only care about money instead of patients to former slave owners fleeing prosecution for their crimes against humanity.

A few of the people that voted will be deported, given ice can unilaterally remove green card status, they can do the same with citizenship.

They've already reported us citizens at this time, just those were children.

In any case Latinos for Trump is a real group, in Florida many of them being ~~gusanos~~ Cubans who used to own slaves and illegally immigrated to the US (by trumpian definitions) and claimed asylum. Theyre at as much risk for deportation as any other brown person.

The studio is dead, practically all members split up in typical leftist infighting fashion. The remnants of what was left can be thought of as nothing more than a passing capitalist nightmare.
