Jesus.
(If you can’t see the replies, she dated a black guy and that is the ex boyfriend who murdered her. The blue checks in the replies are as bad as you can imagine)

 

Not sure what any of us have to gain from that

 

just another long gaze into what that site has turned into. Not that those people weren’t already on there, but it’s shit like that that reminds me what the blue check system does, just amplifies the absolute worst people to the top. It really does feel like 2000s internet edgelord/racist posting all over again

 

Is Biden saying that because he doesn't support a ceasefire or is he saying that because he knows Israel won't ceasefire?

 

So the answer is nothing. We gained nothing from that.

 

Are you being serious?

 

Sure? I gain nothing from a lot of stuff posted here lol.

 

Am I able to ask a question without someone making me feel bad about it?

 

It’s a surprising question to see. People have been asking Biden to call for a ceasefire for a month. He’s said he’s not doing it over and over. His press secretary has said calls for a ceasefire are antisemitic. I honestly thought you might be being sarcastic but if not my god the media is failing you

 

I get all my media from here.

 

What I learned from this post: other places far right shitbrains are just as shitbrained as ours, and also that Lebanese production values are pretty good

 

Idk. I think it’s pretty fair to collectively start wondering what value there is in highlighting the most random online instances of right wing bullshit. And then to consider making different choices and what to highlight in light of that.

(Though, I also don’t know why you still share Matt Yglesias tweets here, lol, so what do I know?)

 

But how can one doomscroll without doom to scroll?

 

This surely has to be the biggest gap between overall public opinion, and what the administration says in public/what they support, in terms of what's happening in Gaza, in my lifetime.

 

Yeah I think there’s something off putting about kind of buying into to the changed narrative in those comments (which tbf I haven’t seen because I don’t have twitter). That poor young woman was murdered I can’t imagine what her mom is going through and then the whole discussion from her post which doesn’t even mention race instead turns to racism as if that’s the injustice surrounding her murder.

 

Because white men never do that.

 

I wonder how many lurkers feel this way.

 

LinkedIn is a special kind of psychotic.

 

I know he has no chance but
