Last time Lebanon and Israel were at war Israel lost. Hezbollah is better armed and trained now, and Israel is more isolated than ever. Israel is bombing civilian areas now, using terrorism because they cannot effectively stop Hezbollah rockets from hitting targets in 'Israel'. People of Lebanon support Hezbollah and actions against Israel, they aren't being held hostage.

They have attacked the IDF many times and secured numerous casualities, just recently they struck an IDF intelligence unit with drones killing dozens, resulting in the commander's resignation.

This attack is a warcrime based on treaties that Israel has itself signed to, and has been recognized as such for decades.

This post isn't even saying she is trans or that there was any connection to anything irl, just a way to point out how simple it should be to give someone respect. It's also not a political agenda being supported, it's basic decency.

And why tf does it matter which Trek was someone's first? I wasn't born in the 50s so I didn't start with the original series. It's been going on for decades, people can start wherever.

What are you on about? As a mainliner hexer we would be happy to see Trump not living, just look at the response when he was shot or got covid.

The 'most progressive party'?? By what measure? Because they aren't as openly fascist as the Republicans? Kamala has sworn to appoint at least one Republican, to be tough on crime, increase the strength of the military, be as or more anti-immigration than Trump, has shown no interest in healthcare reform, and refused to even consider ceasing the arming of genocidaires. What does it mean to be progressive to you?

I have the same trouble worrying about how much I'm bothering someone when describing some interest I am obsessing on, more people have similar stuff in their heads than you might realize though! I have found comfort in circles that are happy not to be 'normal' through art/music and other interests.

Everyone has weird aspects, some people just fit in better than others, but I don't think there is anything wrong with being different. But I agree, it can be lonely, maybe you just haven't found the right friends yet? Anyway though, I feel for you and hope it gets less lonely.

I saw a Zionist make a post saying something like "why would Hamas have captives unless they are intending to torture and sexually abuse them?", like that was just the logical treatment of POWs.

It's not whataboutism, it's good to look at the history and motivations of anyone making claims like election fraud. US officials are saying it's fake, the US has a long history of South American political interference, especially if there is even a hint of socialism.

I definitely feel sadness about this whole sort of thing, but knowing that the person they are accusing of "beating up women" is a cis woman herself, it gives me some hope that the haters will be shamed by most regular people for being so goddamn ignorant and hateful like usual. It doesn't appear to me that most people care much about this stuff, so it doesn't help the reactionaries recruit much, though a fervent minority can cause a lot of damage.

It could have been an opportunity like they had renovations in the building, an agent disguised as a worker planted it inside the wall or something. Or like a plot on a Sopranos episode, feds snuck into Tony's house and swapped a lamp with an exact replica with a listening device inside. Definite security failure for a secure compound though.
