Despite common public perception, ADHD is a lot more than just the “Squirrel!” brain disorder it’s usually known as.

Bud, I’m not agreeing with it. It’s just an attempt to make a lick of sense out of this craziness.

Wild string connecting guess - Israel = Jewish people -> Jewish people = Globalism -> Globalism = No Borders -> No borders = DWB. QED, DWB is endorsing Israeli genocide.

In short: They can smell the Tasty, but they can’t smell the Fresh.

What’s popular and “well known” is rarely, if ever, innovative. Established comics are always the most boring and hacky of their time. They may have been fresh and innovative once, but once they’re at the top, they just become tired shells of what they once were. The actual trend setters are the up-and-comers. That’s who define the era.

These losers hardly represent all of comedy.

I don’t disagree with you, but this is isn’t exactly “idol” level expectations, either. “Not selling out to horrific regimes” is basic decency I’d expect of everyone, not just those I look up to. Most of the names I see here make sense, but there are a few I expected to be better than this.

What an asshole.

Here we go with the purity test BS.

Do you think that you never bought an product from companies in problematic countries who are doing human right abuses?

If you don’t want to be called out for it, maybe don’t do it in the very same comment, yeah?

Also,

I welcome anybody who want to boycott any problematic country

So what? The US also did a lot of terrible things to other countries and we never boycott it

So which is it? People can boycott what they want? Or are they “hypocrites” for boycotting in ways you disagree with? For someone so concerned with “consistency”, you are all over the place.

And I’ll ask again, how is your condemnation of the boycotts beneficial to anyone being harmed?

Your “consistency” is bullshit purity testing.

Talking about double standard is not whataboutism

Please, enlighten me on how your claims benefit anybody other than those profiting from suffering? What tangible action are you promoting here?

Quibbling over why it wasn’t “good enough” doesn’t support your criticisms of other boycotts anymore than “but what about other countries?!” does. If that’s your metric, no boycott or action against countries/companies will ever measure up. So really what you’re arguing for here is complete inaction, which won’t make anything better at all.

Maybe that’s part of the problem, eh? Also, maybe skim a newspaper once in a while.

Sure thing! It’s not a particularly well-known thing, tbh, so it slips into comments now and again.

Just a heads up, your \ got absorbed by the text markdown Lemmy uses. You have to use a double slash to have it show up, like this \\.

Yeah, that’s not what’s happening here. Not really sure why you’re so insistent that it is, but it’s not useful or kind.

Cartwright is best known as the inventor of the ‘mental illness’ of drapetomania—the desire of a slave for freedom—and as an outspoken opponent of germ theory.

What a fucking idiot.

I don’t see anything conspiratorial in the post. It’s the usual pattern of medical advancements focusing on certain types of people over others. Same thing happens with women, POC, etc, etc, etc. It not (usually) being an active, conscious choice to do so doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.

Congrats to Ireland.

Really? Interesting.

No
