encouraging someone to suffer from moral OCD because they're boycotting Israel is like encouraging someone's eating disorder because they're boycotting the agricultural industry. they need treatment so that they can SAFELY reapproach boycotting someday. dumbass
Last year I saw a video of a Palestinian father frantically carrying the dismembered remains of his child’s body in a plastic shopping bag, desperately trying to get them to a hospital
@TheCourtofJames@GoodVibePolitik it wasn’t a “bit of dialogue” dude 😭 like you CLEARLY don’t remember shit. the Israelis let the Palestinians in their walls in the movie and the second the Palestinians celebrated, the country was overran. the entire reason israel fell in the movie was because they let people in
@TheCourtofJames@GoodVibePolitik don’t you think it’s really strange of you, then, to go out of your way to comment on having seen it multiple times and specifically mention how it made you feel (or not) about israel? if you apparently watched it so long ago and remember fuck nothing about it?
At some point you have to learn that being ironically edgy online as a joke just attracts people that are 100% not joking. One day you’ll wake up with the Klu Klux Klan hyping you up because you made one too many “foid” jokes
Ha! You're absolutely right. There *is* a 737 waiting to take off on Runway 19. 🛫 I probably shouldn't have cleared AA5404 to land there. 😳 I'm here if you need any tips and tricks for handling mass casualty incidents. 🚒🚑✨
like she keeps going "i could fix the system, i had to live my ideology for book tours" then her daughter is like "hey mom they don't give us homework, i can't do algebra" and she's like, don't worry mommy will send a sternly worded email reminding them i write for the nytimes
@constans had no idea her daughter didn’t even fucking understand fractions or long division, wasn’t reading or writing properly at the age of FOURTEEN… like how absent do you have to be
This is fascinating becuase NHJ enrolls her child in the poor quality local schools on the premise she & her child being involved will be good for the school and then shows herself to be a neglectful parent *on her own terms* in that she takes no interest in her child’s education
What's most shocking about the Nikole Hannah Jones essay is how comically ignorant one of America's loudest education pundits was about how low-income schools actually operate - and also how ignorant she was of *her own daughter's* progress.
