  • fucking peace.

    no, you dum-dum:

    just because YOU, personally, haven’t been reading, hearing, or seeing the perpetual violence against Palestinians (and muslims in general) in and around isreal, doesn’t mean it just appeared out of thin air, like you are suggesting.

    well, not suggesting… you’re straight up lying.

    you are using your own ignorance as basis of fact.

    YOU are unaware of the hostilities happening, so you assume they DIDN’T happen. which is wrong.

    this genocide didn’t just suddenly happen, it’s been going on for decades. it’s simply been a much slower process before (except for all the times in-between when it wasn’t slow at all, but I’m not about to copy-paste half o wikipedia. look it up if you don’t want to be ignorant), which makes no difference.

    a genocide, by definition, is not bound to a certain timeframe; when a people is eradicated deliberately, it doesn’t matter at all how long that process took.

    Palestinians have been under direct attack for almost century now. that entire time is a continuous state of genocide.



  • Public opinion in Israel also does not appear to be influenced by the British.

    let’s start with the easy one: this is completely irrelevant. public opinion is largely worthless and means nothing.

    The active current genocide started in 23.

    it started in the 1940s, arguably earlier.

    the very first thing that happened in the region was Palestinians being expelled from their own land in order to make way for the zionist regime.

    that’s how Palestinian oppression started, and it’s the reason the situation got so bad in the first place.

    it got much, much worse in '23, but that’s not the start at all.

    It was triggered by a terror attack.

    no, it was the other way around; ongoing genocide triggered the terrorist attack.

    and more importantly:

    is this supposed to mean that genocide can be justified? is that what you’re saying?

    Some have considered the attack inevitable due to continued oppression and border fences.

    gee, i wonder how that oppression started in the first place… certainly couldn’t have been the british! they’d never meddle in the middle east for colonialist reasons!

    well…except in afghanistan…and iraq…and syria…and egypt…wait, how long is this list anyway?

    could the british empire be responsible for most of the clusterfuck that is the current middle east, by having drawn completely arbitrary lines on maps more than a century ago, which were deliberately designed to fence in diverse ethnic communities, with the explicit goal of suppressing the local populations by putting them in a constant state of unresolvable armed conflict in order to ensure instability in the region and as a result keeping education and living standards low, thus guaranteeing cheap oil for the foreseeable future by making it trivial to install dictatorships across the region?

    …are you for fucking real?

    (hawara, du saufst den lack aber auch im liter pack…)




  • i mean…they DID trespass onto a military airport and messed with military aircraft.

    that was what they did, that got them the designation “terrorist organization”.

    the planes were about to fly weapons down to israel, afaik, so i think they were doing something worthwhile, but, you know…bad idea regardless.

    I don’t agree that this makes them terrorists, i think that’s some insane hyperbole on the governments side…but it does fit a very draconian definition of “terrorism”: simply defined a “using force to achieve a political goal”

    the entire thing is stupid. this is the stupidest timeline, after all…




  • just because the words “what about…” are used, doesn’t make an argument a whataboutism.

    a whataboutism deflects from an argument or aims to derail an argument.

    what the previous user did was ask for further argumentation about a directly related topic; it’s a continuation, not a deflection.

    so it’s not fallacious, buta legitimate question:

    you’ve banned some propaganda channels (argument is closed at this point), will you now also ban other, similar channels (new, related argument)?

    since the previous argument has concluded, because yt has already enforced their views, wether right or wrong, the follow-up question is perfectly legitimate.

    I’ve also got both, kinda; no hyperactivity just the attention deficit…

    and yeah, i agree: that’s why I said it can look the same to an outside observer, not that it feels or works the same.

    the term I’ve heard for the task switching problem you describe is “autistic inertia”; basically just means that it’s more difficult to start a task, and end a task (or switching to a new task), but once a task is underway there isn’t an issue. it’s just the starting/stopping part that’s hard…

    eh, kind of hit or miss with autistic people, afaik.

    hyperfocus is a big thing for autists, which is a problem with attention, since it keeps you from choosing what you want to focus on.

    so if you’ve got an assignment due, and your brain decides we’re gonna focus on [different thing] right now, possibly for days on end, that can be a serious problem.

    it can also look basically identical to ADHD for outside observers, since the result is often the same “they didn’t to [the thing]!”…

    and that then gets mistaken for a lack of motivation, which it isn’t really:

    it’s a lack of ability to choose what to be motivated about.

    it’s one of the reasons that there’s so much overlap in diagnosis of ADHD and ASD: symptoms can present very similarly to outside observers
