Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yet the memes, jokes and everything that gets through to the non politics junkies was about Elon's salute.

Almost like it was a perfect distraction for people to get enraged by while ignoring the serious issues.

On one hand, this will probably speed the resolution of the conflict.

On the other hand, the conflict will be resolved through the completion of the genocide of Palestinians that are in areas Israel wants to own. “There are no people left to shoot or bomb” is one way to stop a conflict.

And just to be clear, none of that is a good thing.

It's literally an argument in Israel for the cease fire. There's not much else to target in Gaza, so keeping it going is just causing reputational harm without the benefit of destroying more "Hamas" hospitals and water processing plants and schools.

This is great!

Because now we can detonate those bombs in Israel.

Hilarious how the comments are blaming the group that wants to abstain or be central in their belief when the play was already set in place regardless of the outcome. Class war yet we bite at each other.
