Idkwtf you’re talking about but I think I agree
Please tell me why it’s not a war crime for Hamas (or whoever else) to hold hostages and hide amongst civilians?
Idk what the IDF is supposed to do. Were there any negotiations on the table for their release?
Can’t you see he’s wasting away and his paw is broken?! Poor little guy.
Wait until they find out about people selling their food stamps 🤣
I sympathize with this but your situation is very anecdotal and on the extreme end of the poor spectrum. Most of Americans in need of government assistance largely benefit from it.
The problem with the post is that it’s a point of view by way of ignorance. No one steals carts full of baby formula and diapers (mostly formula) to give away a la robin hood style. They do it to sell on the streets or to cut drugs with it. That’s just the facts.
They use baby formula to cut coke and heroin lol
Have you ever had some bunk coke that was stepped on too much?
I fucking hate this take. It’s so middle school edgy it cuts my cringe receptors into pieces.
I get what you guys are trying to say but most people aren’t stealing to feed their babies or provide them with diapers. Most of the people are stealing so they can sell it on the streets. Where WIC and welfare can’t help pay for it.
I swear, have any of you been poor ever?
Exactly. Coming from a brown person, this is fucking racist.
Do you think written an article is the same as sourced? 😂🤣😘😂
A headline from an article I need to pay to read that was sourced by hamas themselves? I’m sold! 🤣
No wonder the whole world doesn’t take you far lefties seriously 😂
True. I say we give back the land to the people that were there first. Egypt and Jordan.
Palestine will reject any treaty. Like they always have. All they want is for Jews to be the minority or to leave entirely.
Why did you get so many downvotes lol
10000% this
I’ll leave a few examples of what I mean but growing up in the 90’s, it was cool to be racist against blacks. My family was no exception and it was expected of us to not get along. This wasn’t an isolated incident as the whole world of “pick-me-minorites” (including other black people) was growing. The system made us enemies and with it came a culture of acceptable racism. So it’s no surprise that these older generations still harbored some misguided hatred when the BLM protests/riots happened. My family, as much as I love them, are completely stupid and immature when it comes to racial issues. My own sweet mother is afraid of black people and is oftentimes on the giving end of some wild racist quotes. But her uncle was killed by a black man over a pair of shoes so I guess it’s “justified?” Obviously not.
So it could be a case of underlying racism that pushed them over the edge. The BLM movement was viewed negatively and as “typical behavior and patterns of violence of their kind” even though the overwhelming majority was peaceful. So it pushed the center to the right the right even further.
Anyways, here’s some links to the turmoil - not necessarily a direct link to my original claim but I guess you have to make the connection. The left media won’t (I sound so far-right right now 🤣)

As a second generation Latino I believe it has to do with assimilation. Most of my family works in construction in some way (including myself) and they’re usually uneducated and easily manipulated. It’s no surprise the right targets blue collar workers and bombards them with anti-social program rhetoric about “your tax dollars being used to fund the lazy” bullshit. Also, and I hate to say this, blacks and Latinos didn’t mix historically. The BLM stuff moved a lot of minorities (Asians and others) away from the left and I’m still embarrassed by it - another example being that Latinos and whites get along in California jails and don’t associate with blacks. Shits fucking retarded.
I can apply one of my favorite quotes to this situation: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” - LBJ… but instead use brown instead of white 🤣
This thread has enlightened me on how biased and irrational lemmy is (more than usual). So far you guys have claimed it’s:
There’s some that are actually being honest and saying there’s no good reason because there isn’t. I appreciate those commenters.
I look forward to being banned for trolling AKA disagreeing with you guys!
