You really ought to report islamophobia when you see it though. Islamophobia is hate, it is violence, and it should not be considered separate from the radical islamism you so frequently condemn. Islamophobia is an irrational and hateful ideology, and radical islamism is an equally-irrational, equa... |

^ Btw this Hospital « Baptist Hospital » is a Christian institution. So not only they fail to read « Press », they fail to see hospitals too. This is a genocide: https://x.com/wtx_EU_news/status/1714347388935008393?s=20 The IDF are claiming that the hospital wasn't a target and apparently investiga... |

Muslims abroad can really be jerks tho, terrorism is an Islamic social phenomena like what just happened in Brussels today; there' definitely something wrong in the Islamic faith (when radicalized, which is its normal state) and it's pretty clear. Sometimes I understand why there's Islamphobia (at ... |

As a Marxist I feel like I wouldn't be doing my job here if I didn't point out that most of these "luxury beliefs" are really just beliefs that capitalism makes it expensive to have. |

Neither side cares. Both are committing atrocities against civilians. This is a one-sided slaughter, there is no "both sides." It started with a slaughter by the other side. The shooting at the Nova festival.... Shouldn't have happened. It was a horrifying tragedy. But like... See the dou... |

Maybe Israelis have a knee jerk reaction against the P in PRESS; they also killed at least 6 journalists in Gaza. Someone shall teach them that the P in PRESS doesn’t stand for Palestine or PLO, it is not an acronym. Jeez. Idiots. Ha! P for Palestine, that's pretty good :lol: Yes, I'm sure the IDF ... |

I doubt the "PRESS" vest is visible from planes and artillery positions. I'm sure it can't be that hard to see a PRESS vest from a twenty million dollar aircraft with a $100,000 sensory system. Sorry, but maybe it's time to admit that Israel doesn't actually care that much about civilian ... |

Groomer in right-wing circles seems to include people who help affirm queer kids identities while not including adult men who pursue sexual gratification from minor girls. That teacher who helped a queer kid to feel less insecure about who they were = groomer. MAP Walsh, Matt Gaetz, Ted Nugent, etc... |

I did the One Chip Challenge a couple years ago, with a small group of friends. I strongly advise against it, it very nearly put one of my friends in the hospital and I can definitely see how someone could potentially die if they have a bad reaction. Literally the only time in my life I've had to di... |

So I think the real question that everyone is delicately dancing around here, is.... Do Arabs' lives matter, and do Arabs have a right to defend their neighborhoods? Villages? Countries? Because, news flash, the Israeli war machine has no intention of ever stopping at Palestine, lol. The way you're ... |

I have heard of coat hanger abortions, but what is a pennyroyal abortion? I have never heard of that one. Pennyroyal is an herb that causes miscarriage. Silver wormwood (Artemisia ludoviciana) is another one. Also, be careful talking about this stuff, a lot of states make it a full-on felony to int... |

It's basically a slur, at this point. "Groomers." White evangelical types are always clutching their pearls over non-specific "grooming" activities, which, when you press them for more detail it almost always ends up being something racist or homophobic. "Asian groomer gangs... |

It's all a ripoff, anyway: It's just the Hero's Journey, all stories are Star Wars, some stories just do a better job of hiding it (JKR is not exactly known for her subtlety). The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is a great example of a Hero's Journey that doesn't feel like a Star Wars knockoff, partially... |

From the photos I can see she was attractive and probably seemed younger than her actual age. I'll bet slut shaming was involved. Yes, never underestimate the b|tchy, pack behaviour of a group of women when they see one who is more attractive than them but somehow unable to fight back because she i... |
