Trying to remember if any of the others trended on social... Nope! Why do you all use the exact same talking points and verbiage? Why do all your posts have the same hateful tone? Why do you all get completely emotionally angry, throwing a fit whenever someone makes an alternate point that doesn't conform? You're the most on the nose definition of propagandized. I know you can't stand to admit it, but deep down you know it's the truth. Sis, is this a dupe account? I need you to know the troll baiting is obvious and why most people are not engaging with you, let alone that you couldn't even spell Uyghur: On 4/27/2024 at 9:51 AM, Absinthe said: Where were you for the people of Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, the Uiyghers? Because if someone did actually engage with your posts, you'd have to answer for the insane suggestions: That the American left somehow were not vocal about America's involvement in bombing the people of Syria, Afghanistan or Yemen If you believe cultural repression that occurs in China deserves mass protest movements miles away (despite America not at all funding said repression and already sanctioning China), then you'd agree physical genocide is objectively worse than cultural genocide and even more action is demanded against Israel ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communion Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) 28 minutes ago, Absinthe said: You're surely not suggesting America has divested from all Chinese companies Again, I'm sorry, but this is low level troll bait. Like fringe 4chan twitter user stuff. You can't even coherently try to get the gotcha you're hoping for. Student protestors are protesting against their universities having direct investments in weapons manufacturers. This quoted text thus makes no sense. You somehow seem to hope people are not informed on issues to where you just vaguely mentioning other issues will make them concede some shortcoming. Of course Israel caught actively trying to kill all 2M Palestinians is a greater concern than *re-reads* China remodeling mosques "to look more Chinese". Again, you can't hope to claim "cultural genocide" is a concern (it is!) while downplaying actual, physical genocide in motion. You hope to cast other nations in negative lights - maybe for rightful reasons (!) - while carrying water for a terrorist regime like Israel that is objectively acting the most incendiary in our current environment. This is why it's easy to know you're a troll. You're not trying to use anti-Israel sentiment to propel forward other issues you find equally concerning and similar in nature to Israel's crimes. You're trying to whitewash and defend Israel's crimes under a veneer of claimed concern. Who do you think is this easily fooled? lol Edited April 28 by Communion 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relampago. Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Very proud of the youth in the US taking such a strong and sweeping stance against the disgusting government, both Israeli and US It's a huge pleasure seeing the geriatric elected officials scramble. They know there's a huge storm brewing, and they were prepared to handle it from the outside, but now they're fighting it from the inside and they won't win a two-front confrontation like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
