I don't think it's worth bothering arguing with them, anymore, since it tends to deflect from both major parties being the beneficiaries and at least sideline architects of genocide. I'm voting Claudia. I said what I said, nothing to argue about. Let them shadowbox.

Eta: didn't think I'd need the sarcasm tag, in my original comment. But I will add quotation marks.

I've always been amazed that what was done to their people, they do to others. Just now I was shocked by the thought that ran through my mind: why would you be shocked and amazed that these people are doing everything the Father of Zionism advocated being done to his fellow Jews?

And "if you're a third party presidential candidate voter, you're doing more to harm Palestinians than if you vote for either genocidal candidate." *The level of gaslighting defies credibility; yet here we all are.

*Quotation marks added for clarity.

Ever since Palestine came to my awareness, I read about horrible things done by "God's chosen race" against the people God also was supposed to have blessed in those ancient scrolls. If yhwh blessed both seeds, you'd think "the chosen ones" who claim they're following the scrolls would stop conveniently leaving out their brothers and sisters as a blessed nation.

When this issue first came to my awareness, I was reading that settlers were still tying torches to fox's tails and loosing them in crops and neighborhoods. WTF?

A month so far. I mean, I'm pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could've been dv'd by, it argued over with them, it's hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I've been consciously aware, I don't recall any unpleasantness. But then I'm not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.

I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn't disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They're alright, I've had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that's my own experience.

There are a few in my area, one is struggling, but I hope they all make it.

Those drugs also cause serious health problems and death, from what I've read.

As with McDonald's suing Cargill et al, these are large compounders, not our local, independently owned pharmacies, who could never afford to do so. It's just sad our lives depend on "The Clash of the Titans."

We care. Our owners don't. Hopefully we can shift the course.

The comments are amusing but these are moreso. 10/10, I needed the laughs.

Most people in the security industries that I've ever known are keenly interested in privacy, for good reason. There is a reason certain protesting elements *cover their faces and it's not usually for nefarious reasons.
