instructions unclear, did I do this right?

You don’t get to choose whether your knee jerks when the doctor knocks it gently, hence the term “knee jerk reaction”.

What you choose to do next is where you define who you are?

Do you kick the doctor in the face to spite your health?

It is called getting context before you let your kneejerk opinion get the better of you, fool

I think we should all be highly alarmed, world citizens who value peace and prosperity, palestinians and jews alike.

This is exactly what they want to happen and it makes your heart tear apart.

Reminds me of the time runescape did a pride parade and everyone got mad because we are there to enjoy a game and escape from this for a bit,

define “this” precisely and choose your words carefully

not because we oppose it in any way.

Forces of oppression are composed of self-deception, lay your core values bare and let people decide for themselves.

I think you come off like you are trying to dodge the crux of the argument to focus on a overly specific detail you know you can “gotcha” with like a troll does.

Looking at your comment history I don’t see a super clear indication of that, so assuming the question is in good faith consider the twin realities here that almost everyone IS REALLY tired of rightwing trolls deploying these tactics in conversation and are reacting to that in your words before getting to your opinion which I suspect is still unpopular (and I think largely missing the point/wrong) but not wildly and decisively so like the downvotes and angry comments (mine at first included) suggest.

Picture from climatic Endgame (Beckett) battle between me the invader (USian) and you

I can see why people who spend their lives, through no choice of their own, between a rock and a hard place, would find lifting themselves like magic up a massive rock face with only the sun and glorious air at their backs elating in comparison.

It takes only a cursory look at the strange, outcast filled history of rock climbing to see why the community might understand the importance of solidarity with people that just can’t fit into the box.

Obviously we can never know if the first rock climbers were queer, but to wonder if maybe your heart desires to climb straight up a cliff into the sky and then develop the skill, knowledge and support to do so is certainly a queer thing to do.

I mean I would prefer everyone get good quality healthcare for free, so don’t listen to me cus I am the radical here right…? (only radicals respond to threats of senseless cyclical violence with appeals to collective visions of the future that benefit all by truthfully recognizing the present incongruity?)

Maybe we could both sides things here a bit? Exchange some bullets for some affordable end of life care and I have a queer premonition the angry mobs might start to go home to their families that now have a chance at a humane future.

The literal fatal flaw of this strategy however is that the people in power have to panic and pick the “appease the angry mob” option before the angry mob has no families left to go home to for it to have the possibility of working.

If you wait too long inveitably and irrevocably you face a counter force, not a force, which is a much worse eventuality for everyone most especially our children in the end.

The multi-national security bodies of ten NATO countries and Australia confirmed that Russian spies employed a variety of hacking techniques to infiltrate networks. Notably, the campaign included accessing internet-connected cameras at Ukrainian borders, which were used to monitor aid shipments entering the country. The report estimates that approximately 10,000 cameras near “military installations and rail stations” were compromised to track the movement of materials into Ukraine. The report also highlighted the use of “legitimate municipal services, such as traffic cams,” for espionage.

The DNC needs to go

We need a necromancer to keep bringing him back to life so we can do it millions of times, then he would have got what he deserved.

“From the moment I step in this building, I want to cry,” he said. “And I don’t want to cry because my son is dead. I want to cry because there’s an eerie feeling in the African American community that’s often unspoken that nothing’s going to change.”

This is utterly despicable.

I expect this to get much MUCH worse in the US, elsewhere may fair better but this country is headed for a depression.

I think it already is, leftwing and rightwing people have generally accepted we are in an oligarchy not a democracy.

It is only neoliberal centrists who are in mindbending amounts of Ezra Klein “Abundance Theory” style denial about where we are, how we got here and the degree to which we are cooked.
