We’re never gonna get your votes. Most of you aren’t even American. We’re just showing the undecideds how terrible your ideas are.

I’d prefer to punch fascists, but you keep getting in the way.

Palestinians

Fuck off with your conflation of Hamas and Palestinians. I specifically separated them into two groups.

Hamas wants an end to Israel as an Apartheid State, not an extermination of all Israelis.

I do not believe that and no reasonable person does. Any more than they believe Israel is acting purely in self defense. There are pleasant noises a government must make in the international political community no matter how horrific its true goals are.

Make no mistake, if somehow magically Hamas came out on top, there would be a genocide happening in Israel right now.

What the hell is so hard to understand about “Death to the Jews”? It’s a pretty blunt statement. Doesn’t need context or whatever red herrings you’re throwing out.

I don’t know if the “genocide of Israelis” sotuation would occur if the power dynamics were flipped

“Death to the Jews” doesn’t give you a clue?

There’s no good guys in this conflict except the civilians caught in the middle.

Vote in the primaries.

It’s not a causal thing. I’m saying both a and b are true, not that b is true because of a.

These women will often want the full emotional availability of a romantic partner from you, with a fraction of both the emotional and physical availability of a partner from them.

That’s a whole separate issue from women having a roster of men.

Idk about emotional availability. I just want a fuck buddy. If she can’t provide that, she’s gone.

Men’s Lib on lemmy is an explicitly feminist space, and all the men there are in the pathetic friendzone white knight “women can do no wrong” space.

I almost never meet women like this so maybe it depends on your area. I’d love to be in a woman’s roster but they all want monogamous relationships.

The consequences in the US are so severe it’s not worth the risk. Just an accusation can ruin someone’s life.

Men are in a kind of catch-22. Women say they want one thing but their actions usually say they want the opposite.

I’ve got a theory that women put more effort into dating apps than we think. It’s just spread across so many more people.

In favor of men: when we get angry, people listen. When women get angry, people stop listening.

Against men: men being around children is seen as suspect. Women being around children is seen as healthy.

Did you just praise yourself for doing a thing you hadn’t seen in a long time?

Do you exist in a nation?

Right, I know we have a lot of international users here on lemmy, so I wanted to specify Black Americans, the descendents of slaves. For instance, one of my friends and coworkers is a very dark skinned Tunisian, but that’s a very different culture than the one I was asking about.

Took me a long time to break out of the programming. I feel you.

It helps to understand that the phrase “you have value; you are worthy” is objectively true. It’s not a matter of opinion. It is a fact. You are a sentient person, therefore you matter. You are deserving of dignity, respect, and love. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. It’s like saying 2+2=5. They’re just not correct.

We need to address this on a societal level. And not via right wing douchebros.

That’s called “we canceled Comcast but they’re so fucking inept they never actually stopped the wifi service even though they stopped charging us”

Happened to me once. It was amazing.

I did the opposite. I just work so much that I’m exhausted all the time.

If you’re in a state of perma-exhaustion, sleep is easy
