this thread is legit blowing my mind

The US was (and still is) ideologically aligned with the Nazis, and only joined WW2 in the 11th hour because Japan forced them to with the attack on Pearl Harbor. To think that the US "won the war" or should be uniquely congratulated for their contributions to the war is... absurd. If anyone should be awarded that honor, it's the Soviets.

Edit: I really like this place. Yall taught me so much in the replies and it felt welcoming to learn it. This type of discourse seems so rare to find these days. Thank you comrades!

BOOOO

If you've been paying attention to Israel's bombardment of Gaza, you know that Israel hasn't earned any significant military wins against the Palestinian resistance. It's honestly been humiliating for them, on top of the humiliation of Oct 7th. Israel has been overcompensating by obliterating Gazan lineages and planting Israeli flags into flattened blocks, but the IOF keeps getting beaten by the guerilla warfare of the resistance.

Now, likely in an attempt to achieve SOME kind of military win, Israel has allegedly bombed a top Hamas leader in Beirut. Beirut is the capital of Lebanon, located in central Lebanon. This is a MAJOR escalation, both territorially and also symbolically.

Note that the entire time Israel has been genociding Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, the zionist entity has also been bombarding southern Lebanon, killing civilians, journalists, and attacking medical centers there, to which Hezbollah has responded, but in a restrained fashion. That restraint will likely ebb considerably now.

When I was little, I went to summer camp where we used an outhouse for a bathroom. The camp counselor sleeping in our cabin said that we weren't allowed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without waking her so she could accompany us.

One night I desperately had to pee but I didn't want to wake the counselor because I didn't want to be a burden, so I held it as long as I could then just grabbed a towel and peed on that and threw it in the corner of the cabin, then went back to bed. The next day, one of the girls was like “does it smell like pee in here?” and was just like “uhh I dunno”... I wonder if she figured it out.

oh for fuck's sake!!!!!

yeah that was uh weird

sigh At least it's on the books

Ah, thank you for the education! Is the ICJ connected to the ICC? I'm looking to edit the post to be more accurate. I'm thinking:

Title: South Africa has applied for the International Court of Justice to go after Israel

Description: Same as before with the addendum: thank you to SoyViking for education in the comments (then paste your comment)

Edit: ok I updated it, let me know if this makes you uncomfortable or anything and I'll happily change it <3 and once again, thank you for the education

This is such a kind idea for a thread, thank you for making it ❤

My ex family, i miss them a little, but if they're so shit they're cutting me off just for being vegan like, good riddance

This whole story is so fucked, I'm SO sorry you were treated like that. I'm vegan and I'm so tired of all the little jokes and the random snark and the hostility, carnists being offended by my just existing in front of them and daring to live according to my values. When I first went vegan, my then bf (no longer) was personally offended by my veganism, insisting I did it to disrespect him. It's amazing how so much shit can simmer under the surface until you decide to publicly take a stand for an exploited group.

when the abuse or neglect is subtle, it's harder to spot and heal from. It just feels like something is slightly wrong with you because everyone is treating you different. Meanwhile it's easy to say the other more extreme trauma that happened to me was traumatizing and point out why.

I relate to this so hard. ❤

Ugh I'm so sorry. ❤️

whichever it is, please dont mistake me for a redditor

❤️

Thanks, I had a whole breakdown when it happened 😀

You're so sweet! Tbh I don't know if there's a future for me in streaming. Streaming these days feels so uncomfortable for me since so much of my income at this point comes from the same people whose voices im trying to amplify. Plus the CONSTANT harassment campaigns (usually launched by the same fashy people I used to run with back in my edgier days). Plus McCarthyism (like the ban I'm fighting rn). Plus the nonstop sexism. I'm tired.
