Are you serious? This is some victim blaming shit.

We all get why Germany has strong laws against antisemitism, given its history. That doesn’t mean German support towards Israel need to be unconditional, which is what has happened, in effect. The left, the right and the center in Germany all seem to agree on one thing… unconditional support for Israel.

“German history and our responsibility arising from the Holocaust make it our duty to stand up for the existence and security of the State of Israel.” – Olaf Scholz, October 2024.

You are basically taking the same line as Scholz, despite the fact Israel has proven itself to be a fascist ethnostate that seems intent on genociding all its neighbours. Anyone who is still committed to justifying or both-sidesing the Israeli genocide of Palestinians needs a smack in the head imo.

I do accept the fact you have acknowledged the genocide. But then why are you so hung up about folk making equivalences between fascist genocidal Israelis and fascist genocidal Nazis? It’s about the most obvious comparison one could make. Arguing that it’s a false equivalence is simply another way to excuse the atrocities committed by Israel. Statements like “Israel has done a few bad things, but they are nowhere near as bad as the Nazis, so you mustn’t make a direct comparison” are nothing more than genocide apologia. Just because Israel has done a “smaller” genocide (so far) doesn’t mean shit to me. Zionist ideology is just as reprehensible as Nazi ideology.

More than 75,000 Palestinians were killed in the first 15 months of Israel’s military assault in Gaza, a figure far higher than the 49,000 deaths local health officials announced at the time, says a new study by The Lancet Global Health medical journal. The peer-reviewed study, published on Wednesday, found that women, children and the elderly comprised some 56.2% of violent deaths in Gaza during that period, a composition that it said roughly aligned with reporting by Gaza’s health ministry. […]

“The combined evidence suggests that, as of Jan 5, 2025, 3–4% of the population of the Gaza Strip had been killed violently and there have been a substantial number of non-violent deaths caused indirectly by the conflict,” the authors wrote. Source

I think that I didn’t say anything at all in any of my comments that could be misconstrued as taking a position one way or the other.

and yet…

What if they’re wearing them around you because you punch people in the face for odd reasons.

That seems a lot like you are saying you disapprove of them but you you think a punch in the face is way over the top, right? So your problem is mostly with the offhand hyperbole of cassandrafatigue saying they should be “punched in the face”? The whole civility bit?

You have created strawman position out of thin air, assumed that I believe the thing that you just made up and then accused me of being a bootlicker because of this imaginary position that you yourself just invented.

I never accused you of anything. I asked you a question to clarify what you were saying. You seem to be confusing me with cassandrafatigue?

You’re either trying to farm outrage and division, or you’ve spent too much time in social media spaces where this kind of behavior is promoted. Either way it’s toxic and, assuming you’re a real person, you should really step away from social media.

Again, not sure what comment I made supports any of those assertions, at all. Literally the only thing I said to you was:

You don’t think ubiquitous surveillance is something people should get upset about? Those things will be hooked up to flock in about 5 seconds flat.

It isn’t normal or healthy to have kneejerk paranoid reactions to disagreements. It isn’t normal to think punching people in the face for wearing consumer electronics is acceptable behavior. These are behaviors driven by paranoia, not rationality.

Define normal and healthy. Would it be the ability to have simply replied to my question with something like…

I do think it’s worth getting upset about, just not to the extent of punching someone in the face.

… or some other reasonable response?

Anyway I’ll leave you to your faux outrage.

You don’t think ubiquitous surveillance is something people should get upset about? Those things will be hooked up to flock in about 5 seconds flat.

Awesome, yeah I just noticed it. Thanks for fixing it up!

Honestly, I spent majority of my life at level 2, and only recently achieved level 3. Level 4 is a work in progress lol

Wow these are awesome!

They aren’t, all their server does is handle the login authentication afaik, and then streaming happens directly from the server to the user.

Here, I fixed it:

Seems to be up for me now too.
