I refuse to believe it's difficult in actuality because of how money strapped people are in here when it comes to other absurd hypotheticals. I'd like to believe those who say Kamala are just saying it to preserve their karma and account history as being left leaning, as this kind of hypothetical can destroy the credibility of those accounts arguing in political subs. Reality is the vast majority of us would take the 1 million in a heart beat. (100)

Nah think about it this way, consider the person you absolutely hate the most in the world, with the fire of a thousand suns. Now you have a choice: you get a million dollars, but this person you hate has all their dreams come true and is handed untold riches and power OR you can say no to a million dollars (be no worse off than you are right now) and in return you completely ruin the life of the person you hate most, send them down the path of their worst nightmares, sentencing them to a cascade of punishment and accountability for the rest of their miserable life?I personally have enough hate in my heart to give up the million and punish the person I hate most… There are plenty of other people who genuinely hate Trump that much.

He's an butthole, but a transparent one. And our economy was in MUCH better shape (lightyears better) in his 3rd and 4th years in office then it is right now.If they have to choose, people in the working classes who pay their own bills are more interested in the economy then in civil rights. Not to mention Harris is a disengenous liar. She had 4 years as VP and accomplished nothing of what her platforms are. I think if Democrats actually gave people a genuinely decent human being who wasn't crooked then it would be a landslide. (3)

What is it about Harris that is 'crooked' - bearing in mind the actual meaning of the word.If you're talking crooked to mean corrupt, you would do well to turn the mirror on Trump for those matters. The economy is doing better in this term - literally >>> "I've hesitated to say this at the risk of sounding hyperbolic," wrote Mark Zandi, the respected chief economist at Moodys, just a few days ago. "But … there is no denying it: this is among the best performing economies in my 35+ years as an economist." Growth: up. Jobs: up. Wages: rising. The value of your home: up. Share prices: booming. Inflation: falling. Borrowing rates: dropping. <<< (quote from https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/10/kamala-harris-presidential-election-us-economy-wages) but as this article expands on, that feeling has not permeated down through the layers so doesn't feel that way, but is measurably better than is being portrayed. The feeling for this being stagnation and deprivation over decade... (1)

He tried to get a legal election overturned. That's a pretty undemocratic act.But also, he had weaponized the office. He constantly threatens political rivals, which is basically anyone who doesn't agree that the 2020 election was stolen from him. And that's what causes the threat to democracy as a whole. (Canadian though, so my knowledge is based on "crazy neighbour" concern). (24)

Not only did he try to get a legal election overturned, but he tried to get a legal election overturned utilizing his MAGA crowd as his army, inciting and sending them down to the capitol, for the purpose of distracting the certification of the vote long enough to, in the backend, use a false slate of electors, submitting them to Mike Pence to have him certify them instead as a means of literally altering the vote in his favour. He engaged in entirely illegal activity to circumvent the will of the voters.As far as I can recall, a large majority of the fake electors have been charged with filing false instruments, or have agreed to some kind of immunity deal, and 7 of Trump's aides have been indicted. Note that the charges against the fake electors can only be brought to them if it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they knew that they were engaging in illegal activity by signing the fraudulent certificates, so there are a number of them that have testified that they were u...

I was kinda into porn during puberty but now I'm kinda a goonette in other ways and it's honestly so embarassing. I also realize how porny my taste in men is, like I don't even want a real guy but some porn himbo who just gruffs and puffs and says shitty dirty talk and then disappears into the ether when we're not fricking. But again I don't watch porn much so idk how much can be blamed on it and aren't just my actual desires. The porno dudes are still closely aligned to what I want in a guy except I would like him to actually speak and have some cool skills and stuff.

70 years ago you would have been lobotomized

insane to see how quickly girls have adopted the term "goonette"

textbook cultural appropriation. male gooners are smoking meth and watching hardcore porn compilations on six monitors like a bond trader. female ""goonettes"" are fantasizing about a masculine man who has s*x with them (??)

Absolute chad lebanese immigrant makes all /r/politics users dilate all at once

I'm half Arab, and I do have a choice on who I vote for. And I'm very happy to cast that vote for Harris.

I'm 73.07% Arab and happy to vote for Harris!

Interesting, I'm a quarter Arab and I'm happy to vote for Trump.

Battle of the percentege-arabs

What makes you vote for trump?

The worm in his brain is calling the shots.

I think his immigration policy is good; the reason I'm here was my family trying to get away from the people from my home country. Only the best of the best culture-wise should be accepted.

Christ's sake, just call yourself a supremacist, it's much faster than whatever hateful bullshit you just spat at us.

Do you hear yourself?

I heard him, he's correct. Gtfo.

Think what you wish

Facts exist, and they don't agree with your un-American fascist butt. You want to live in a religious dictatorship then feel free to move to Iran, saubi Arabia, Russia or some other similar place. Stop trying to ruin the united states because you're a pants Pooping coward

>I ran away from home to escape the religious nutjobs, please don't bring them here too

>Frick you for wanting to live under a religious dictatorship

I don't want to live in a religious dictatorship. Lebanon was rather secular until millions of "refugees" came in, started demanding voting rights, and overthrew the sitting government in favor of becoming a Iranian puppet state.

If you don't want to live in a religious dictatorship, then maybe don't vote for a puppet of Christian extremists who want to install a religious dictatorship? Christian extremists are not any better than Muslim extremists.

I don't remember when we started stoning people.

West hating commies have no idea how good they have it

You realize if Trump had his way when your family was "trying to get away" your family wouldn't have been allowed in right?

It was substantially harder to immigrate to the nation when my family came than it was under Trump.

Congrats, Trump actively hates you and wishes you were dead.

Can you reference me to a source?

You genuinely need a source to prove that Trump doesn't like brown people? If so, that's on you. You've had a decade to figure that out.

I'm not brown, and every slander I've seen on him calling him racist has been out of context, i.e. when he supposedly called Mexicans male feminists when he was referring to gangs, or when he said there's "good people on both sides" and then immediately said "and I'm not talking about [the nazis]," interestingly cut out of the media clips.

I'd like to ask where exactly there are "good people" on the side of white supremacists.

There's no use with you.

This week he was saying immigrants are criminals with "bad genes". Super racist, also immigrants in the US commit crimes at a rate lower than natural born citizens. ALSO if he actually cared about border security he wouldn't have told republicans to vote against a strong bipartisan border security bill just to avoid giving his political opponents a win.

You are brown. You aren't 100% white. The fact you have Arab blood in you will never make you white in the eyes of his supporting base.

Feel free to get out of this country, you un-American fascist

Insane to call half of the nation fascist. I wonder if you think that word is synonymous with nationalism.

Very sane to call 1/3rd of the nation and slightly less than half of active voters fascist, when they're supporting fascists.

Again, I wonder if you think that fascism is when nationalism.

Feel free to look up Umberto Eco. It's a very good definition of it.

All 14 points of which trumpism includes.

Deport yourself to a fascist country, it's where you want to live. Stop pissing on the graves of every veteran in my family (and every veteran period) with your pants Pooping coward politics.

Interesting you cite veterans, the veterans on the other side of my family & most I know support Trump. Edit: I will look up your definition, but itll take some time.

Any veteran who supports Trump has betrayed with oath to the country and also enjoys getting their faces pissed on by trump. He calls veterans idiots, losers, sucker, and wants to destroy their veterans benefits.

Trumpism is treason, for pants Pooping cowards deathly afraid that someone not like them will have rights.

You're un-American shitbags thst use the constitution for potty paper. Leave this country you hate so much.

get out, nazi lover.

What a way to dilute the word

Not diluting the word even in the slightest. Trump had Steve Bannon in his administration, who is a self-described neonazi.

If you have 10 people at a table and one of them is a nazi, you have 10 nazis. Unless that table in court at Nuremberg.

But We all know you're pulling-the-ladder-up-after-you white christian supremacist self will deny reality while you piss on the constitution.

"Why can't we criticize Kamala just a little?!"

They're right, a vote for Jill Stein is a vote for more dead Palestinians and more Muslim discrimination in the United States. Remember the Muslim ban? Harris is the only choice. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.

This should be higher. The pro-Palestinians have their pride, but there are children in Gaza that will literally die if Trump wins. It's crazy that their are activists in the US too cowardly to support Harris.

Children are already dying in Gaza. For over a year now. Biden could have forced a ceasefire with one phone call. He chose not too. "Working tirelessly" my butt, one fricking phone call. Israel is now invading Lebanon, despite how badly that went the other times they tried, bombing Yemen, and further provoking Iran. I guess we're getting another war. Most of the American population supports that sadly. I guess we're gonna have to learn the hard way, again. I pray this one is what destroys our stranglehold over the region.

Sure, maybe China can move in after America abandons Middle East and put all muslims into camps

Sorry to break it to you but those kids are dying if Harris gets elected, or if Trump gets elected. So either way you're voting for more dead kids... unless you vote for somebody else.

Harris I believe will try to stop this. Trump doesn't care how many kids die as long as it benefits him. It's true that kids will die whether Harris or Trump gets elected but the scale of the deaths and whether the killing stops is what this election is about.

you can believe whatever you like. but in that case i certainly hope you aren't out here calling out evangelical christians and trump supporters for also making policy decisions based on vague "beliefs" entirely contrary to observed reality.

>nooo you must vote for us, we'll be marginally better than drumph, we promise

>no

Democrats are in charge right now and there are literally children dying in Palestine right now though. It didn't happen under Trump, it's happening under Biden who has given Israel lethal aid to the tune of $18 billion.

I don't understand exactly how voting for a Democrat will save Palestinian children when they've been giving Israel billions with zero stipulations to that money. Is the difference that Trump will call Palestinians dogs to their face whereas Biden/Kamala will do it behind closed doors?

Do you want more dead Palestinians or a lot more dead Palestinians? Choose wisely. Welcome to Earth.

if you're saying that palestinians will be wantonly murdered regardless i'm half tempted to go with the decision that will make you, personally, more miserable tbh. i'm spiteful like that.

And what exactly are democrats doing that republicans wouldn't in this case? Israel is getting full throated support regardless and entire generations of families have been massacred. These empty threats don't work when 43,000 Palestinians have been murdered and this is the count from July.

Well the good news is if you get your way Trump will not bother with the empty threats and will start sizing up the gaza strip for a golf course. But don't worry, I'm sure the Palestinians will pat you on the back for being such a true warrior

Let's be honest. Either candidate in this race is a vote for more dead Palestinians. Harris will at least occasionally wag her finger at Netanyahu, but I don't believe that she'll do anything to actually constrain Netanyahu.

On the domestic front, Harris is objectively light-years ahead of Trump. That's why I voted for her, because I'm not a single issue voter.

They are not equal. Trump definitely greenlight total Palestinians annihilation. He has said as much. Trump will enable Netanyahu as much as possible.

Allegedly there is talk Netanyahu is offering the Trump family Gaza real estate for tourism opportunities.

God I hope this true, imagine the seethe

I think there's actually a modest chance that she actually changes course.

However it is maddening that she will not do anything but toe Biden's line. It makes it impossible to know what to expect so we can only expect no change in either direction which is terrible.

The fact that Netanyahu wants Trump to win should be a red flag

The fact that if Harris doesn't change Biden's course Netanyahu will still have access to an infinite amount of financial, military, and PR support is also a red flag.

She needs to change our current course or she will be party to genocide, end of discussion.

And if trump is elected he'll do what now?

It is genuinely pathetic to never ever entertain anything critical about Harris and to always drop this thought terminating cliche into every conversation about Gaza

You can criticize Harris while still acknowledging she's the significantly better choice regarding this issue

I wouldn't say significant until she takes a stance of any kind that is better than Biden, who has been horrific on Gaza.

Trump has straight up called on Israel to 'finish the job'. I think supplying a geopolitical ally with funding whilst advocating for a ceasefire is a lesser evil than advocating for complete annihilation any way you cut it

Dunno, completely wiping off one side will end the conflict immediately

And if trump is elected he'll do what now?

You're on par with MAGA cultists btw. Don't question, just redirect away from dear leader.

If she's still delivering JDAMs to Israel next spring, the blood of children will be on your hands for not demanding more from her.

Their point is it's either her or Trump, buddy. And with Harris there's at least a possibility of harm reduction.

Trump? Nahhhh

Their point?

That was my point, like 5 posts up.

But as I said, the thought terminating cliche has turned your thoughts off, too, so you forgot.

Braindead leftie complains about other braindead lefties

This is true, she might lead the same way as Biden but if she does we the people can do something and that's called protest. If Trump wins he will not allow such actions and will have immunity to act out all his psychotic plans.

But all they do is call protesters antisemites? If theu dont care now and dont bother engaging in good faith what makes you think they will care once Harris is guaranteed 4 years as a president?

Maybe calling everyone a nazi was a bad idea? Ooops too late now you nazi

Its almost funny for someone to say that more Palestinians will die under Trump than have already died under Biden and would die under Harris. She is going to keep the same people as Biden like McGurk and Hochstein that are running the genocide right now. Gaza is unlivable now. She said nothing will change from Biden and she has said nothing differently from Biden. Its as if she heard people wanted to vote for her because she might be better on Palestine and decided to nip that in the bud ASAP.

Trump will give Netanyahu his OK to go rogue on Gaza. 40 thousand people dead is way too high, even if a third of them are Hamas and nobody should care about them quite frankly. But Trump would let Bibi deport the 2 million people left in Gaza to some hellhole in Africa.

Its been at 40,000 dead for months, which is only the directly confirmed deaths recorded at hospitals that Israel has systematically destroyed. The number trapped under rubble is another 10-15,000 people and doctors that worked in Gaza have said the death toll is likely 100,000+ people 5% of the population. The third that are "Hamas" is counted by Israel as every adult male killed. From The Lancet, "Counting the dead in Gaza":

"A report from Feb 7, 2024, at the time when the direct death toll was 28 000, estimated that without a ceasefire there would be between 58 260 deaths (without an epidemic or escalation) and 85 750 deaths (if both occurred) by Aug 6, 2024."

Israel and Biden were going to "voluntarily transfer" Palestinians into the Sinai desert at the beginning of the war and offered an IMF loan to Egypt before it said no. Whoever is the president they are going to probably kick them out as a "humanitarian gesture" at this point because Gaza is completely destroyed.

It hasn't been 40 thousand people dead for months. Stop lying. If all of Gaza was destroyed there would not be 2 million people in Gaza and if Israel really wanted all Gazans be dead, they would have no problem achieving that.

I think its been at 40,000 since the summer, but I don't feel like looking it up. That's probably an easy thing to figure out. And Israel is trying to kill Palestinians as fast as they can. 40,000 is 110 people killed per day. They mainly kill with bombs and seldom send in ground troops. I don't really know what killing at the fastest rate would look like to you. They want them to either leave or die. There are 100,000 Palestinians in Egypt right now that bribed guards to get across the border.

Leftist upset that other leftists will lie about facts to promote their leftist agenda

"Did I mention that I'm trans yet? You have to vote like me now!"

Successfully radicalizing a subset of the left against Biden / Harris due to the atrocities occurring in Palestine was I fear a masterstroke by those who want Trump in power. It's wild to watch extremely liberal and trans people I know vow not to vote at all. Do they not understand that all that does is help Trump win? That despite their best intentions, this could in fact make things worse? All I see in the end are not people who abstain from voting due to their conscience, but people who are effectively saying they are okay with a Trump presidency.

We judge ourselves on intention and others on their action. NOT voting is an action, an action that says you didn't do the bare minimum to prevent a Trump presidency.

Right now, the only moral thing to do is vote Harris, because short of electing her we are absolutely chunked as a country and as a planet. Just so many consequences to this. Climate change, supreme court, human rights, basic rule of law! etc. etc. etc.

Right now, to say you won't vote because Biden wanted war, is cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's short sighted, misguided, and dangerous. Deal with him Nov. 6th once we finally rid ourselves of that walking colostomy bag once and for all.

It's insane. I understand they want to protest against US arms sales to Israel given what is happening in Gaza right now, but what do they think happen if Trump wins. It will be even worse, and when every Palestinian has been driven completely out of Israel or killed, Trump will probably go to stand in the rubble and as the dust clears say "I told you I'd get peace in the Middle East done." and actually be praised for it. Then they want to militarise the US police force and probably force out immigrants and other people they don't like with the same level of force. That anyone would choose to not vote in order to protest against the alternative to Trump and all the utterly deplorable snakes he is surrounded by is just madness.

Yep!!

Hamas delegation visited Moscow just 10 days after Oct 7th. And Nancy Pelosi thinks the pro Palestine cult is boosted by dirty Russian money. Plus the international media all of a sudden focussing on the Middle East instead of Ukraine definitely helps Putin.

It's all linked!!

If only leftists would realize that they are just as easily manipulated by foreign entities as MAGAtards are

It's pretty wild how not wanting to vote for a genocide has to be some sort of conspiracy and not, you know, the expected consequences of a party supporting genocide.

Don't complain if the candidate with a worse stance on the war wins and let's the people you disagree with bomb the people you want to save out of existence 🤷‍♀️

I will blame Democrats for running on an unpopular platform of supporting genocide.

They have an obligation to adopt popular, electable policies, and they are currently not meeting it.

Stop throwing the word genocide around because it makes you feel good to blame the Jews. The ICJ has not ruled on this yet.

So you chose to actively aid the people who said "yeah level gaza to build a golf field". The real 1000 IQ play.

This right here. Gaslighting voters for not supporting genocide is wild.

This narrative is missing the point. Condemning a genocide approaching holocaust levels of death is not radical. Demanding that the president or vice president, both democrats, stop using u.s. taxpayer money to fund said genocide, is not radical. The only moral thing for them to do is cut off all u.s. funding to Israel and all weapons deals. But they refuse to do it, won't stop repeating lies about October 7, and have dug their ditch to fail into on election night. Stop gaslighting voters for actually having a conscience, and stop with the holier than thou attitude. This is exactly why 180,000 gazans have been murdered. Because enough voters will just dehumanize them for their own interest of seeing Trump lose.

The population of Palestine has increased in the past year. The Holocaust killed 6 million Jews. Escape the extremely obvious echochamber you're in and stop spreading blatantly false information.

Frick off. 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust, and that doesn't even count the gays, gypsies, Poles, or the disabled. Maybe 40000 people have died in Gaza, and many of them were combatants.

Lamo at semites inflating their victimhood numbers

Maybe hold the terrorists and their supporters accountable

Why does the Author not demand that Hamas return the hostages? Hamas has rejected several ceasefires and refused to return hostages. Returning the remaining hostages would result in a ceasefire and end the war. Hamas has killed and holds American hostages too - yet neither the Author nor our leaders (other than Trump) mentions the Americans being held by this foreign enemy.

Does the Author also condemn Communist China, which is committing a UN-declared Genocide against his fellow Muslims? Yet another large scale genocide and/or slaughter at the hands of socialists - be they national or global socialists.

Because they are the bad guy and won't listen to anyone so demanding things of them is just pissing in the wind.

The question is are there two bad guys in this war or just one?

There's more than two sides, Iran is behind much of this.

I can't believe Iran turned our nutjobs against us

Because the residents of Gaza, which is of similar size and population to the city of Denver, has no way to return the hostages to Israel.

The average Gazan voted Hamas into power. They celebrated October 7th, and September 11th in the Street. They celebrated dead Americans and Israelis. Would you suggest that the Allies should not have invaded Nazi Germany because there could be (and was) collateral damage? Rather, let Hitler dictate terms of a casefire. Hamas has refused ceasefire offers.

What do you suggest? Let Hamas stay in power?

The average Gazan would have been a kid the last time there was an election.

The average Gazan of voting age. Hamas won elections, they are popular with Palestinians. Their slogan is "From the river to the sea" - what do you think that means exactly? They said, after putting babies in ovens and raping and killing women, "This is what #decolonization looks like".

That was 18 years ago, and regardless the residents have no way to return the hostages.

What would you do if you were in the same situation? The reality is that you would do nothing except starve, because HAMAS is an Iranian paramilitary with weapons, and you aren't.

9/11 was in 2001, so 23 years ago. And october 7th was much more recent. Gazans celebrated both events. Gazan celebration of violence against non-muslims, both a long standing pattern, and recent. Don't make it sound like a 1-off 20+ years ago, because it is not. I'm puzzled why you think Americans should shed a tear, when they would gladly celebrate the death of random Americans. I will continue not giving a frick, thanks.

You're right that the average Gazan cannot do much, but they should not have voted in Hamas. The average gazan is being oppressed by Hamas, and thus needs to be liberated. The IDF is liberating them. It doesn't matter if they don't want to be liberated, because Israel has a need and right to dismantle Hamas entirely.

There were plenty of videos from Iraq celebrating attacks on US troops, but it didn't make me want to carpet bomb cities. If that's what you mean by "shedding tears", OK, you got me.

And no, the median age in Gaza is 18 years old. Very few people would have even been voting age at the time. See the CIA factbook: https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/about/archives/2021/countries/gaza-strip/images/b18f6e8a-8e81-51ed-ab96-0b190c7d3f8d

I'm in favor of the current international law about how civilians should be treated in captured areas. If you are trying to persuade me otherwise, I'm not persuadable about it.

"carpet bombing cities" is not what Israel is doing, this is a demonstrably false characterization by you. "Carpet bombing" is not equivalent to "there is some collateral damage". Look it up on wikipedia, the definition does not match what Israel is doing. Israel is doing targeted strikes on terrorists. The rate of collateral damage, for urban warfare against terrorists embedded in civilian areas is historically low.

I don't think Israel should allow terrorists who want to kill them all to remain in power, because removing them as a threat would involve some amount of civilian casualties. That seems to be what you are suggesting.

If you have nine people at a table and one terrorist then you have ten terrorists at the table

Average palicuck arguments

That's correct. There are two options and she is clearly the better choice

Jill Stein has a path to 270. There are three options.

Jill Stein's campaign has literally admitted they have no path to 270 and that their goal is to deny Kamala swing state victories. Abso fricking lutely not.

Harris could move left and adopt Green Party policies in order to earn those votes. I doubt she would though.

As usual leftists are their own worst enemies

I think saying "Trump is worse" is the wrong move.

The right move is saying "Netanyahu wants Trump to win".

Considering Biden is letting him do his thing, and Kamala seems barely different, I think Bibi is content with either result. Especially since the US is probably gonna join in full force BEFORE the election.

I agree, however Bibi and Trump openly ideologically agree with one another and they have business deals they want to broker on the blood soaked soil. An open fascist will pick an open fascist to buddy up over a liberal fascist.

I'm West Asian and this has been very complex for me to navigate, it's boiling down to who I want to spite more. I'm honestly still not sure what I will do.

At least you acknowledge Biden as a liberal fascist. I can agree on that

So many new flavors of fascism

I have seen so many Arab Americans on social media simping for Jill Stein it's getting ridiculous.

I guess those people want everyone to suffer by letting Trump win. I honestly and sincerely think there will be a holocaust of Palestinians if Trump wins.

Palestine is already being genocided, even if the news just kinda glosses over it. Israel is invading Lebanon, having not learned from the other times, and is dragging other countries into fighting it. Biden could have easily used one phone call to end this FAR sooner, but he chose war.

Ah yes, Biden should choose to make big ultimatums and swing his peepee around Netanyahu, potentially permanently losing the nation of Israel as an ally, and probably getting nothing of substance in return as far as the war goes.

How does "one phone call" magically make Hamas disband AND magically make Netanyahu stop wanting to wipe the people of Palestine off the planet?

For such a grandstanding, pearl-clutching, holier-than-thou person, you seem really happy ignoring the fact that Trump would let Israel turn the Gaza Strip to glass for the simple fact that he's too lazy, unintelligent, and uncaring (not to mention racist) to even think of helping the Palestinean people.

You know that Obama made "one phone call" and stopped hellfire missiles shipments to Israel in 2014 after they invaded Gaza. Israel can't continue this war without American weapons —their entire air-force is American, their bombs are, their artillery shells, even their prime minister is from Philly. We block UN security council votes that would impose a ceasefire and we are funding their economy that would have collapsed already. The nation of Israel is totally dependent on us this can easily be stopped.

How is Trump going to make the Gaza strip any worse than it is right now? Its is rubble. They are beginning to cordon off sections of it and will probably put settlers in soon. They are likely to kill everyone in the north or make them flee.

Tbf I want to see Biden swing his peepee around Bibi

There's already been a holocaust of Palestinians under Biden and Harris. About 180,000 dead now.

The 180k estimate is extremely high. It's based on extremely shoddy methodology and simply not true. The 43k number is likely much closer to the truth.

The Holocaust comparison is also absurd. It's just not even remotely close by the numbers.

All of Palestine destroyed, but you're right, that's not a Holocaust 🙄

6 Million people died in the Holocaust. Obviously, the deaths in Gaza are also horrible, but A).there's a big difference between casualties of war and literal ethnic cleansing and B).there's a massive difference in scale between 40k and 6Million. Gaza (aka Hamas) also started the conflict by attacking Israel and taking hostages, which is a total different situation than the Holocaust where people were murdered for being Jews.

I don't want to minimize what is happening in Gaza and I want peace as well, but comparing it to the Holocaust is just absurdly stupid. Gtfo with your emojis and sass.

I'm running out of palicuck marseys

Unfortunately there are a group of Arab's who strongly align with the anti LGBTQ messaging of the right, believe that Trump is the better choice for helping bring peace to middle east, and think they can gain political sway because they can become a voting block that will demand attention if they can help get Trump elected.

In other words, there are idiots in the Arab community (as with every other community).

Complete delusional morons. How TF do you forget the muslim travel ban?

Except they benefited from Democrat protection before but are not willing to extend it to other minorities.

How dare these stinky browns think for themselves?

Honestly why was this so hard to come around on?

Performative politics at its finest. Having the 'uncommitted' lingering out there didn't help things.

Because the Biden administration has been complicit in helping Israel commit genocide on Palestinians.

Trump would be a worse outcome for Palestinians, but it's exceptionally difficult to vote for someone who is a part of the same administration that's currently sending over bombs that are being used to blow up your relatives.

The ICJ has not ruled on genocide yet, so don't casually throw accusations around!

The science hasn't been settled yet chud

At this point in time, I think Israel is playing chicken with the US election, hedging bets on GOP promises that they'll get elected. If the Dems can take back Congress, there's a lot more teeth to enforce actions.

Biden has the power to stop this now. He chose war

Thanks, one-month-old-account-with-9000-karma-who-only-posts-about-politics-and-Palestine. I keep forgetting that Joe Biden is the president of Israel.

Also, I liked it better when you played for the Habs than the Bruins.

One phone call. That's all it took before, that's all it would take now. Israel is extremely dependent on America. Also, I don't understand the final sentence. And you should talk about Palestine too, fricking disgusting for you to downplay the nightmare they have been facing for over a YEAR, and all the years before that.

How about you tell the mullahs in Iran to not arm their proxies with weapons that they still shoot at Israel. I despise Netanyahu, he is part of the problem, but it was not Israel that started this war.

Lol gets caught, immediately pivots.

Account checking is always a good way to dodge an argument

If you're Pro-Palestine, the only reason not to vote for Harris is if you value your ego and "showing it to the dems!" more than the actual suffering of the Palestinian people.

Funny how so many Palestinian-Americans disagree with you. I guess you know better.

I know enough to know the difference in rhetoric of "finish the job" and "we want to work towards peace in the region, a two party state, and ceasefire". Both are bad for Palestine because Israel is getting armed either way BUT only one may actually listen, especially after she comes out from Biden's shadow if elected. Right now she's not allowed to differ from his policy on that issue but only with her is there at least a sliver of hope for them.

I'm sure that as soon as she becomes president Kamala will instantly nuke Israel and declare the Great Gaza Ethnostate

You'd be surprised. People do have other options and many will take them. If Harris actually wants to win, she'll have to address the extremists in her party and be more forceful on her push for peace in the region. Continuing to aid and abet and protect Israel in its ongoing criminal genocide is not the way.

Terrorist supporter complains that people against terrorists are extremists

The lesser of two evils, as is tradition.

Lesser of evils only applies when 2 or more awful people are candidates such as the 2016 election

They are starting to throw Hillary under the bus

You mentioned their relationship might remind people of their own relationships, including romantic. There were times watching Celebrimbor and Annatar that I wondered if there was some romantic, or even sexual, underpinning to what was going on there?

MCKAY I would say the nature of this relationship and its closeness, and the even the sexual tension in it, has been a source of speculation by may fans of the source material for many years. Anytime you're dealing with such powerful emotions as seduction and deception, I think it's easy for your imagination to go there.

PAYNE I think you can see it from the beginning of their interactions together in the second episode. Sauron is pulling Celebrimbor in by saying, "There are things I can only tell to you," and, "You always saw me the way no one else could" and "You're safe with me." You're seeing this intimate dance that Sauron is doing. So certainly we could see how people could take that a step further and ship them.

AAAAAAGHHHHHHHH

I thought shipping the Dark Lord with Galadriel was enough but apparently Celebrimbor/Annatar fan-fiction was important to the plot too.

MCKAY And it's also a story of the orcs, right? Adar is an orc who believes that orcs could be something more. They could have a home. He even seems to promise Galadriel they'll leave the rest of Middle-earth alone. In some ways, it's not just the story of how Sauron claims the orc nation, it's also the story of how there was a chance that orcs could have been a people in their own right

Muhh uruk lives matter. NOOO YOU CAN'T MAKE THE ORCERINOS BAD!

And it looks like not even the normie schlock site enjoyed the finale

Also, the Balrog destroying Khazad-dûm is just like the heckin climate change

Over in Khazad-dûm, I always had the impression that once the Balrog was released, he wreaked havoc and drove everyone out of the mines immediately. But in your story, this is more of a gradual corruption process. That city is still occupied and they're still going to be fighting for it going into season three.

MCKAY This is a thing where, how do societies fall? Usually it's gradually, and then all at once. If you want to use climate change as a metaphor, climate change is not an event. Climate change is a process that ebbs and flows, that's always headed in a dark direction. I think a kingdom as great and powerful as Khazad-dûm does not fall in a moment. The fall is the product of many disasters over time. And I think it would sell Khazad-dûm short for the Balrog to get out and then it's all over. It's more complicated. We think there's a bigger story to be told here.

A number of United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) positions in southern Lebanon, in the same region where the Irish Defence Forces contingent is based, have been fired on by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

No Irish peacekeepers were injured in the incidents, the Government and Defence Forces said.

UN peacekeepers' headquarters and nearby positions in southern Lebanon have been repeatedly hit, Unifil said in a statement on Thursday, which added that two peacekeepers were injured by Israeli tank fire. It accused the IDF of "deliberately" targeting a number of its positions in recent days, including firing at personnel on Thursday morning.

"Two peacekeepers were injured after an IDF Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at Unifil's headquarters in Naqoura, directly hitting it and causing them to fall," Unifil said of Thursday morning's incident.

"The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital," it added. "IDF soldiers also fired on UN position (UNP) 1-31 in Ras Naqoura, hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system. An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance.

Situation Update on Irish Defence Forces serving with overseas missions in Lebanon for family members

The Defence Forces can confirm all IRISH pers are safe and accounted for. All necessary force protection measures are being observed.

The Defence Forces can also confirm that…

— Óglaigh na hÉireann (@defenceforces) October 10, 2024

"Yesterday, IDF soldiers deliberately fired at and disabled the position's perimeter-monitoring cameras. They also deliberately fired on UNP 1-32A, where regular Tripartite meetings were held before the conflict began, damaging lighting and a relay station.

"Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Security Council resolution 1701."

The Irish Defence Forces confirmed on Thursday that its personnel were safe and accounted for. "All necessary force protection measures are being observed. The Defence Forces can also confirm that Irish positions have not been subject to incoming fire," it said.

Unifil said the escalation in firing around the blue line, a demarcation zone dividing Lebanon from Israel and the Golan Heights, was "causing widespread destruction of towns and villages in south Lebanon, while rockets continue to be launched towards Israel, including civilian areas".

"In the past days we have seen incursions from Israel into Lebanon in Naqoura and other areas. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have clashed with Hizbullah elements on the ground in Lebanon," it added.

The IDF and the militant Lebanese group Hizbullah are effectively at war in the area, with IDF troops having pushed into southern Lebanon and built up their forces there since last week.

Taoiseach Simon Harris said "members of the Irish Defence Forces serving with Unifil, both in Camp Shamrock and in posts close to the Blue Line, were not involved and remain well".

"They are continuing to carry out their mission with distinction, despite the extremely difficult circumstances," he said in a statement.

"Firing on peacekeepers can never be tolerated or acceptable. The blue helmet worn by UN peacekeepers must be sacrosanct. They are serving on behalf of the international community in some of the most challenging places in the world. They are not combatants, and their role must be respected at all times."

Tánaiste Micheál Martin said the IDF action "illustrates the very high-risk environment and the dangerous environment that peacekeepers are now operating in and the need for an immediate ceasefire".

Mr Martin, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence, told the Dáil that "Israel is not listening to its allies in terms of progressing its agenda" and "seems to be [at] all out war". He said the IDF's actions were "unacceptable" with "destructive warfare" leading to community, health and education services being "destroyed". He said Israel's actions were "a clear breach of international humanitarian law".

The Tánaiste said planning continues for the November rotation of Irish Unifil troops. The handover of the 124th battalion to the 125th battalion was to occur in two stages, on November 13th-14th and November 24th-25th. He said October's rotations have been suspended for safety reasons and November's remains under "active review".

The actions of Irish Unifil troops in not abandoning their position has "stiffened the resolve of the other posts" along the UN's blue line, Independent TD Cathal Berry said.

A former member of the Army Ranger wing, he said of the 30 troops at outpost 6-52: "I shudder to think what would have occurred had our troops given into the intimidation and had they abandoned their position.

"I think it would have had a detrimental domino effect across the entire Blue Line, the other two dozen odd posts looking over their shoulder".

Speaking in the Dáil, he said what "actually occurred was the opposite of that. The actions of our troops over there have stiffened the resolve of the other posts and reinforced the fact that that there be no more Srebenicas, at least not on our watch," he said, of the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims during the Bosnian war.

"I think they say that that history can turn in the smallest of hinges and perhaps such a hinge is what occurred over the last few days at that outpost."

There are 29 UN posts within 5km of the blue line border between northern Israel and southern Lebanon. One of those, UNP 6-52, was manned by about 30 Irish troops serving with Unifil when, in recent days, the IDF advanced towards their the small compound in tanks and military vehicles.

The IDF used earth movers to create firing positions, and protective berms, and remained directly outside the Irish post for several days. This caused concern they may be fired upon, so placing the Defence Forces Unifil personnel in grave danger.

However, on Tuesday morning it was confirmed the Israeli troops have moved on, initially pushing north, after Hizbullah said it would not fire on the IDF at that position.

Israel has the right to defend itself against Irish aid workers, goyim.

The drama that is Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number will seemingly never end. Almost a decade after being released globally (except for Australia), it's still causing issues for publishers.

The game was available on PlayStation Plus Extra a few months ago, and it was also available for purchase as part of the Hotline Miami Collection, but a complaint has clearly come from somewhere as it has now been removed, with those that paid for the game being refunded and unable to re-download the game in Australia.

In an email sent to customers, PlayStation admitted that the game hadn't received a proper rating from the Australian Classification Board and therefore has been remove from sale (and libraries) in Australia
