51·1 month agoThe first one (which is one of the most recent ones) is likening the other replies to the kind of genocidal, demented comments Zionists make about Palestinians
Really hoping some insurance CEO gets Falcon punched
Not to mention, “working towards legal citizenship” very strongly implies he was never a legal citizen before, or else why wouldn’t it say something like he was working toward ‘regaining’ citizenship, or mention that he ‘lost’ citizenship?
You know there are hundreds of thousands of permanent residents in the US who are not legal citizens but may or may not be working towards said legal citizenship, right? “Legal immigrant” doesn’t automatically translate to “citizen”.
It says right there in the article that he “grew up in South Carolina”. Another source says his visa papers were taken away years ago and he’s been trying to get them back ever since – hence the “working towards legal citizenship”
The Israelis are in line for that one currently.
Get this AI slop out of here
Your “friend”, if they exist, is either a fucking moron and or they’re fucking with you. People everywhere in the country like having toilets and indoor plumbing, sometimes they just can’t afford them because the government has their heads up their own asses
2·8 months agoI mean, a few days ago there was a brief window where Elon tweaked Grok to reply literally as him (in first person.) Jury’s still out on whether that was actually him replying to people via Grok but it’s pretty close to certain he was in very close proximity
Not my screenshot. I don’t use genAI
There are no good cops.
There are outright bad cops, and there are cops that are somewhat competent at following procedure – but that doesn’t make them good cops. A lot of the time it’s the doing of the job itself that makes them bad cops.
Luckily the cops realized that was an idiot 13 year old white kidLuckily you were white. If you’d been anything else they would’ve been all over the car, maybe even planted something, and been like “well, we had to take the kid seriously just in case”.
Considering a lot of the NYPD straight up said they’d resign if he became mayor, I think he’s got a pretty good chance of bringing change if he really wants to
It could be, but from available context it doesn’t seem that way – it looks like they just got mad that he was in their way and knocked the cart over
I wasn’t concentrating specifically on Aus either, just pointing out that a prominent member of “the west” is brutally attempting to silence dissent, which they are. Yes, I am trying to say that criticism of Israel isn’t looked upon kindly in Australia – or in France, or in Germany, or in Italy, or in the Netherlands – and there’s no dearth of police brutality to be had in the US and Canada either.
As for arresting Netanyahu, Belgium and Hungary have straight up said they’ll be doing no such thing, and Greece was more than happy to welcome him despite there being an ICC arrest warrant out for him. Germany’s obviously not going to arrest him, France has done everything possible to be as lily-livered and non-committal about it as possible while backtracking on Palestinian recognition.
So no, it hasn’t “been permitted” indefinitely. The tide is turning amongst the people, but governments are still being as heavy-handed and militaristic as possible to shield their genocidaire buddies and the military contracts they bring.
the point is about whether criticism of Israel is allowed. It is, both by people and politicians.
May I remind you that we’re discussing this on a post about how an Australian woman in Australia was viciously beaten by state actors (cops) for engaging in criticism of Israel.
There are also instances of EU(Irish) citizens being deported due to Palestine support.
Again, if someone’s being deported for criticizing Israel, I don’t think that really qualifies as “criticism is allowed”. In theory, I’m sure it is. In practice is a very different beast.
league of Arab counties
Which Arab countries? Every single one has been quiet, and some have been actively aiding the genocide.
Even Germany and France have expressed concern
To what end? Germany’s been militant in its support, and France shrank away from actively censuring the genocidaires every chance they got.
The EU as whole is flagging that free trade agreements may be annulled due to war crimes.
They’ve been doing that dance for over a year. What has come of it?
With how cops are, it’s tantamount to the same thing – it’s tacit approval for them to straight up murder protesters regardless of provocation. They can always make that shit up later and get off without consequences.
There often is. Leftists encourage people to not participate in a capitalist system because most of the major parties in capitalist countries, even ones that claim to be diametrically opposed to each other, are very often near-identical in practice, and simply voting in such a system without a strong socialist component is never, ever, ever enough to bring about meaningful change in a sensible time span.
Electoralism isn’t a bad word in leftwing circles at all. Countries where left-leaning parties have a reasonable chance of success see leftists absolutely flocking to the polls to help.
