I’d like to see that. Post it in jraphics interchange format.

“And the award for Most Cops Punched goes to… guy in a 3 Percenter shirt with the poorly-hidden swastika tattoo on his arm! Come on up, fella!”

Yep. I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but when they reveal themselves to be actual proud bigots, the likelihood that they’ll bring interesting and engaging conversation to the table drops to zero.

Plus, I don’t want to moderate a community that tolerates that crap. You know the Nazi bar thing? I don’t want to run a Nazi bar.

Dude’s banned now. Once I saw the “NPC” shit (common term from white supremacists) I realized just removing his crap wasn’t going to be enough.

I don’t think “hey everyone, let’s make fun of a disabled 17-year-old tearfully expressing love for his father” is gonna play as well as they thought.

I kind of feel like seeing the way the conservative sausage gets made might be having an effect on her.

Love me some Ted Lieu!

I just finally blocked the source of most of it. Wow, that guy’s active.

What pisses me off the most about that is the game of make-believe about Palestine that the wedgies (I think I’ll call them that from now on) try to play.

It is 100% understandable and reasonable to be pissed about Israel’s treatment of Palestine. It is not OK to pretend it happened for no reason.

The fact of the matter is that the whole situation is an atrocious mess with horrid, horrific behavior by absolute monsters on all sides. To downplay any of it, whether the horrific response by Israel to being attacked, or the horrific attack itself, is to do any serious attempt to address it and cut through the Gordian knot of Middle East problems a disservice.

I’ve maintained, and continue to maintain, that there’s currently no right answer. If Israel collapses, that will be a nightmare the likes of which we haven’t seen in a century, so we have to ensure it can defend itself by supplying it weapons. Netanyahu is a madman who wants to commit genocide against the Palestinians and is desperate to hold onto power to avoid prison, so we have to stop supplying Israel with weapons.

See that? Both statements are defensible. Both statements have at least an element of truth. It’s fucking complicated. And I don’t have the answer.

But you know what I’m 100% certain we shouldn’t do? Let Donald fucking Trump get into office to truly fuck things up even more.

Hard to imagine not tearing up watching Gus Walz. When he stood up crying and said, “That’s my dad!” it hit me right in my dad brain.
