cyclohexane,

We’re pretty far from being able to automate everything

cyclohexane,

if you stop the “genocide”, innocent people will still die (Oct 7).

This implies genocide started after October 7th. Please do basic research on the issue and you’ll find that’s not true. I’m happy to provide you links if you need.

On Experts saying it, this is one example: reuters.com/…/un-expert-says-israel-has-committed…

On Israel saying it, this has enough for you to start your research: apnews.com/…/israel-palestinians-south-africa-gen…

cyclohexane,

Pro-tip: you can use a search engine to confirm information.

cyclohexane,

I agree that I am not a fan of this format, but the original comment implied skepticism about the information because of the format, rather than merely expressing discontent with the format.

cyclohexane,

It does. Literally the president of the United States as a prime example.

cyclohexane,

It being a war doesn’t negate the simple conclusion that it is a genocide. If you have reason to deny that, you should provide proper reasoning rather than the hand wavy “it’s a war, surely it has to be complex!”. There are complex aspects to a war that do not negate the simplicity of classifying it as a genocide. The conclusion is simple due to the mountains of undeniable evidence.

cyclohexane,

The tweet does not claim to summarize the entire conflict, but only promote the undeniable fact that it is a genocide.

cyclohexane,

You want it to be complicated given you’re citing a claim from the last century that has been withdrawn, and Hamas has undergone a massive shift since. Moreover, no matter how bad Hamas is, it does not excuse genocide. So no, it is not complicated when we identify a genocide.

cyclohexane,

Hamas supports genocide against Jews

They have continuously denied these claims. What you are referencing was their manifesto when they were a fringe group that most Palestinians opposed. Hamas has long withdrawn that document

cyclohexane,

everyone is a liberal there

Do you mean everyone in the US is a liberal? No I don’t believe that nor did I imply it. I only mentioned the president.

cyclohexane,

The destruction of the settler colonial and genocidal state where racism and treating Palestinians as second class citizens is part of its foundation is a good thing, and must not be mistaken for “the destruction of jews”. The charter explains this disambiguation.

cyclohexane,

You do not have to say it “again”. I ignored it the first time because there’s no logical reasoning or evidence for this. Until you do, it’s not something that I can respond to.

cyclohexane,

Arguments in a politics group? How dare they

cyclohexane,

For XMPP, have you looked into using snikket? It does most things you’d want out of the box without having to setup extensions yourself.

cyclohexane,

Ahh, it’s only crude oil? That makes it all legitimate then /s

It’s not a grand conspiracy. It’s an occupation and illegitimate military intervention. The US has a long track record of doing it, and your people have a long history of supporting it :)

cyclohexane,

who are keeping detained ISIL under lock and key

Yeah I am not going to excuse a US occupation with ISIS as pretext when it was the US that sponsored ISIS’ creation.

I’m completely lost about your last paragraph. It sounds like you’re assuming I have some stances that I do not. I support Kurdish autonomy and independence. Tying that into letting more people in non-US-occupied regions fight for a drop of heating or cooking oil is ridiculous. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

cyclohexane,

For starters: “US troops loot Syrian oil and wheat continuously”

cyclohexane,

maybe for a good reason

There’s literally no good reason

The US coalition’s bombings has been far more cruel than even the Syrian regime and ISIS. Just compare the size of the destruction, the number of destroyed buildings between the liberation of Raqqa vs the battle of Aleppo. Despite Aleppo being a much bigger city, and the fight being far more fierce, Raqqa had far more destruction and was raised to the ground.

I agree with you that the SDF does not have many friends, and I support them in milking as much US aid as they can. But selling off the oil when most Syrians are struggling for a drop of oil is cruel, and we should not accept this.

cyclohexane,

There’s no way you don’t believe the US is in Syria? They do not make it a secret. I’m happy to provide you with a wealth of instances where the US admits this.

cyclohexane,

When did the people of Aleppo hand over land to Russia? You do realize the SDF collaborated with Russia and even hosts a Russian military base?

Also, the Assad government, despite all its horrors and corruption, actually cooperates with the SDF on a moderate level. There is already some trade between the two, and they fought side by side on a few occasions.

cyclohexane, (edited )

You’re still too busy analyzing the motives or agenda of the author instead of evaluating the information. Of-fucking-course the Syrian state TV is going to have an agenda that… Surprise: agrees with state policy. This is not the revelation you think it is.

Guess what? Every source has a bias or agenda. For many it is money related. If you take any source for granted, you’d be a fool. Analyze the information for what it is.

Now, the US is indeed stealing. There have been several videos posted before, and local witnesses arresting to it. This has nothing to do with whatever you think it is framing. This is actually happening.

The US isn’t robbing Syrians at gunpoint

What the hell do you call installing your literal military and building 14 bases (more US bases per square mile of any similarly-sized region in the world), and has initiated multiple attacks on Syria since?

It’s only considered theft because the people eating and using the fuel are ethnically undesirable.

Maybe to you. To me, it is considered theft because the oil fields which were once keeping all Syrians warm, cooking, and supplying them with electric power is now being given to an occupying military while most Syrians are struggling for a drop of heating or cooking oil, many dying of the winter cold.

cyclohexane,

they are also clearly not a Biden supporter. They do not support either candidate, so the two options should be treated equally.

cyclohexane,

maintaining democracy

What definition of democracy are we using here? Just so we’re on the same page.

I do not think trump was making a meaningful change on that level, in any case. The US never had a true people’s rule it that’s what you mean, for trump to take it away.

Gaza is not the only issue.
