The fact that Israel is evil doesn’t make Jews everywhere evil. That needs to be said.

I know it needs to be said (because if you don’t, the conversation will get derailed), but does it really need to be said? I feel like this rule only applies in this situation.

When else does this need to be said in order to not be considered a racist or terrorist?

It should be self-evident, and it’s fucking frustrating that decades of equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism has worked this well.

Even fucking Yemenis can take the time out to march in support of Gaza… What the fuck is our excuse?

And those sentences would be enforced by whom exactly?

Similarly, they could try Putin in absentia and sentence him to all manner of things, but in reality what do you think actually happens to him? Right, nothing.

What do people think the ICC is going to do? Any teeth it may have had in 1949 have long been removed, especially given the US’ essential ambivalence toward its existence.

Am I being tasked with creating a protocol for evaluating which symbols the government should display? Like what do you think you’re accomplishing with this line of questioning? It’s not my fucking job or expertise to come up with that criteria, there are much smarter people who could do that.

I know you think you’ve made some powerful rebuttal here, but you really haven’t.

There is no set of reasonable, ethical criteria that could possibly make displaying a rainbow flag offensive. It just doesn’t exist. If you’re upset by seeing a pride flag, then that’s 100% your problem.

That’s like getting mad at seeing the California flag flying next to the US flag because you just hate that CA exists. Fucking dumb.

Perhaps each symbol could be evaluated individually based on what it is meant to represent? I don’t know why that’s such a difficult thing to imagine.

I’ve seen those black “POW/MIA” flags next to US flags all of the time and I’ve never once seen a single ammosexual conservative freak complain about it, despite their cult of personality centering around someone who literally belittled prisoners of war for being caught.

I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about that. I see the “pride” flag to be as offensive as the black POW/MIA flag.

Yeah my agenda of (checks notes) thinking people shouldn’t be persecuted for existing.

A dire slippery slope for sure.

Another two steps back.

Hey man, save that shit for the Warthunder forums…

Starving four year olds? Come on man, they’re not monsters.

Germany seems to be one of the few remaining hopes we have against global fascism this time around…

Just insane how much the tables have turned. If you told a German Jew in 1945, that in half a century we’d be on the verge of another world war, but this time it’s Israel committing the genocide and Germany is on the right side of history, they would have called you crazy.

…So they need ice cream?

Their ice cream is so good, but man it seems to be $1 more expensive every time I see it at the store. Shit is like $9+ for a pint these days.
