  • Okay, sure, we are in agreement then.

  • So if the current system is corrupt, what are the chances for a vigilante system? Somehow less corrupt? And based on what, the goodness of those who are willing to be vigilantes? Sounds like Police v2 minus any shred of accountability or system to handle abuse cases.

  • I DDG'd "Harris memes" hoping to find a harissa (yes, the hot chili paste) themed one. Instead I mostly found memes that looked like Republicans attempting to be funny and failing miserably. The memes had no punch line, made no sense, and were mostly based on pure disgust and hate for her as a person with no real criticism of her political actions.

    I don't like Harris and would probably just leave the US if I was born there and take my vote elsewhere to a system that maybe remotely makes sense. But those memes were sad. If anything they tell of a human condition that has affected some diehard Republicans online. I think some of them need help.

  • As someone who lives in Europe, I already pay this much on income taxes. Is this considered high?

    Edit: actually like 30-33%

  • I wonder if she was coerced to do so under false pretenses. But I also saw others in the comments point out that it looked more like a premediated murder than a self defense one since she apparently went to his house to kill him, so she was not held against her will at the point of the murder.

  • Downvoted just f the ACAB. Who said it's obligatory? Why? That one phrase that reeks of generalization, civilized society has adopted it now? If this is not what it's supposed to mean, I am open to explanations.

  • The dowvotes on this one worry me.

    Yeah the police don't work so your solution is to go be even worse police? At this point, no justice at all might be better rofl.

    Yeah maybe we are not told about how corrupt police is.

  • I am Palestinian and I just got banned from world news ml for saying that some Israeli hostages experienced rape/sexual assault/abuse without "credible evidence". Somehow the mod equated this with me not giving a fuck about Palestinian prisoners of war.

    No my man... I was raped myself as a teen. So to me, all rapes are equal no matter who does it to whom.

  • Hamas says guard who killed Israeli hostage acted 'in revenge' against group's instructions

  • It's fine just go ahead and ban me because I won't edit anything. I provided two articles about captives and their experience having been held hostage by Hamas, they list multiple instances. I have no time for bs like this.

  • Just because there are problems with the NYT does not mean this particular story is not credible. This woman is simply sharing her experinece. What evidence do you have to refute the claims of a rape victim? Should she not be taken as seriously as any other rape victim? Just because Israel can take advantage of such a story to justify genocide does not mean we can discredit the story without being intellectually dishonest.

  • Thanks for pointing that out. No denying this. Is this about Amit Soussanna? Would be curious to see a timeline for that. But also as a rape victim myself, it took me years to finally come out and tell my parents what had happened. It's possible that she is lying, but also possible that she is saying he truth. It doesn't say anything politically about Hamas or Palestinians... it's just a thing that is likely to have happened.

    The thing is, it would also be naive to assume that no sexual assault or abuse happeend. Even Hezbollah (a much more disciplined army) will have cases like that.

  • I never denied that and nothing I said points to anything against that. Some Hamas fighters still raped and abused some captives. This is reality. These people also have the right to have their story heard because it's just one part of the truth.

  • Before I do that can I say this?

    I guess what you mean to ask is: was this part of the NYT report or not? Is that right?

    And also, I agree that much of that report was BS, but is that enough to discredit every single story in it? You may pretty well be denying rapes that did take place. I have no reason to deny the testimonies of some of these women. Hamas fighters are not angels and it would be quite naive to assume that no rape happened. What I said does not suggest that Hamas carries out systematic rape. Maybe that is a claim more worth your time to moderate than "some victims came out and spoke out about sexual assault during captivity."

    But if this is how things roll in this community then just ban me 😉
