Terrible attempt at a straw man at the end there, 2/10.

She murdered a baby. She needs rehabilitation, help, sure, but it doesn’t get much worse than baby killing, imo.

Yes, unfortunately Lemmy has gone like Voat - only the “extreme” (generalising) have stuck around. Hopefully something new will arise to displace Reddit and capture its mainstream users.

The IDF was. Now do Hamas. The answer is that they were, too.

Moron. Hamas commit war crimes as a matter of course. How can you be so intellectually dishonest in your arguments?!

I think this fucking religious loon is taking pointers from Islamic loons that behead people for “disrespecting” their pedo prophet.

I wondered who it was, but then I saw I have FS blocked and just see the word “filtered” instead of amy comment. Think I made the right choice at some point then.

an inalienable concept as free speech

Free speech is not an “inalienable” concept. To be honest, the adjective “inalienable” doesn’t well describe a “concept”, more “right” or a “privilege”. Nobody can take away a concept from you, only the exercise or realisation of that concept.

That said, the Lemmy dev’s code of conduct is not a binding document, and given their political views, I wouldn’t even bother opening it if I was adminning my own instance. And nobody owes you your freedom of speech - if an instance decides to enforce the rule “no talking about politics on Wednesdays”, nobody has any right to anything else. Preference, sure, but right? No.

Absolutely not, but when you insist on putting words in my mouth and then arguing with that straw man, there is little use in arguing. You are here to hold forth, not discuss.

I don’t agree. Neither the IDF nor Hamas fall under Geneva Convention (GC) protections because both have brazenly and repeatedly contravened it, thus excluding themselves under the GC’s own stipulations. They are both doing sick shit and are both lending more fuel to each other’s propaganda fires.

You’ll soon see that nuance is dead on Lemmy. Hamas indubitably commits war crimes en masse, as does the IDF, but morons will only ever excuse those of Hamas, rather than condemning both sets of actions.

I am pro-Ukrainian in this conflict, but this is untrue. Point to the specific wording in the accord that supports what you’re saying, if you can.

Nice! Hopefully they can repeat and improve on this result.

Lol

Most sane hexbear user, has to point to possible offences more than 60 years ago to justify present russian imperialism, oppression and colonialism.

This is going poorly for Israel. They don’t seem to detect a tide of opinion rising against them, slowly but surely. Maybe they plan to smash-and-grab, get as much done as they can before they are truly forced to ease up.

US cops really have stored up an incredible amount of badwill, haven’t they? Now, I can’t help but see Nolan’s Batman film (whichever the one is with cops in tunnels), Brooklyn 99 and others as straight up copaganda. Just zero sympathy. The balance will shift at some point, it has to.

We’ve been very busy preparing the billionaires so that they’ll be sitting pretty when the shit hits the fan.
