  • “those who played with me know that I do not condone being gay for women in rugby.”

    I’ve never been to Fiji…

    But I can’t imagine making it to a national women’s team and still being bigoted against lesbians. Its not exactly a rare thing to run across.

    Like, at least in America, it’s incredibly common for LGBT to play rugby. Hell, we had a gay pornstar on my men’s college team for a while, we gave him as much shit as anyone else on the team, but rugby culture has always been incredibly accepting.

    Doesn’t matter who you are, if you’re dumb enough to join the team, you’re a part of the team.


  • Propaganda doesn’t mean “completely false”.

    Like, they could have received huge bonuses from the IDF to “rejoin” with a cushy desk job.

    But reported as their desire to place themselves in danger to defend Israel, which could sway public opinion when Israelis are mostly over it and will vote Bibi out of office the second he stops postponing elections due to his genocide.

    Even if it’s true, I got a cousin who’s convoy got blown up in the ME as a US Marine. And he was the only survivor.

    For over a decade the only thing he’s wanted is vengeance, to go back overseas and get “them” back.

    That might be what’s happening here, but it would be a terrible fucking decision for him to go back over there. So he was medically discharged instead.


  • To be clear:

    Although the JC includes diverse voices, internal resignations in 2024, including high-profile writers like David Baddiel and Jonathan Freedland, followed the publication of articles that were later determined to be fabricated. These articles, authored by freelance journalist Elon Perry, included claims about Israeli operations in Gaza that lacked credible sourcing and were subsequently retracted by the publication. The controversy led to the resignation of prominent columnists Jonathan Freedland, Hadley Freeman, and David Aaronovitch, who cited concerns over the newspaper’s editorial standards and the decision to publish unverified information.

    This is a known propaganda source and no one should believe anything coming from in regards to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

    Propaganda is dystopian as fuck tho, so I guess I’m eaving the article up.



  • And that’s why I’m comparing apples with apples. It just that what conservative Islam aspires to is what Christianity was 300 years ago.

    You need to pay more attention to current events…

    Edit:

    Nevermind, in the middle of this conversation you’re elsewhere claiming Israel isn’t commiting a genocide and what they’re doing is acceptable.

    This isn’t a serious discussion and there’s a clear reason you keep wanting to only talk about Islam or lie about Christianity.

    You’re fine with burning Korans because you’re also fine with genociding Muslims.

    And I don’t have the energy to deal with more nazis then I have to these days







  • Nothing will fundamentally change.

    -Joe “I’m a lifelong Zionist” Biden

    At least now one of the parties are going to pretend it have an issue with it

    When it was Biden the only people in office openly criticizing genocide was Bernie and a literal handful of House reps.

    That’s the worse part of “moderates”, when they’re in office and we’re not allowed to criticize them for rightwing positions, it takes the sail out of protests when it switches back to a real conservative in office.

    The DNC just got telling everyone pro-fracking, pro border wall, anti healthcare reform, and sucking up to oligarchs was fine…

    Just not when trump does it, so now we have to waste time explaining that it really was awful when Biden/Kamala wanted it, and it’s still awful now that trump wants it. Because too many are going to view Trump’s current actions as less evil, because Kamala held the same policy positions.


  • Yep.

    Genocide apologists really try to claim it’s ok because of how “young” people in Gaza are, but that’s because between Israel out right killing them and systemic racism designed to shorten their lives…

    It’s not exactly easy to live to your adult years in Gaza. And adults dying skews the percentage to mostly kids.

    It’s like some kids of fucked up Never never land where Captain Hook wasn’t just Disney bad. The kids live in hell and Bibi kills them before their brains fully develop at 25.








  • that 300 North Korean troops have died and 2,700 were injured while fighting for Russia in Ukraine.

    NK has almost no one in their military with combat experience. They don’t even do the big war games training other countries dk.

    And while they suck compared to everyone else’s elite soldiers, these are NK’s “elite” soldiers.

    The ones who were taught about war and given enough food to be combat effective, often the physically largest as well.

    The 2,700 that were injuries will go back to NK to become trainers and leaders, because they have combat experience now.

    Kim didn’t expect them to be used directly for the meat grinder, but he’s still getting what he wants if 90% come back injured. That experience is invaluable, which is why other countries spend billions in war games.
