I recently heard Obama talk about the “circular firing squad”, where perfect is the enemy of good and progressive forces tear each other down for the smallest ideological differences.

Okay, this single sentence entirely changed how I was going to answer you. I need to ask: do you think that Obama is a good source on wisdom for actually making a change as big as the US ceasing to support a genocide? Like, you think he has a point here? This “perfect is the enemy of good” is used by Democrats to gather support for the genocide, which is the implicit “good” there. Like, I’d like to explain to you the futility of supporting the Democrats, but I feel like I need to start in a completely different place.

Have you seen Kier Stürmer’s policies? Those 5% are the only honest ones.

So what are the two guys who aren’t wearing eyeliner supposed to add to this?

Okay, well I’ve gained a new momentary favorite bird.

Oh, I get you. This is kind of like how Trump will do “even more genocide” than Kamala. Big number is worse than smaller number. It’s cool if Killer Kamala lies 100 times and kills 40,000 Arab children, Trump is going to lie 120 times and kill 42,000 Arab children.

You are very good at dogmatically supporting your political football team and not sounding like a complete child.

I know there were some more original posts like this about Kamala’s support of genocide on Hexbear and .ml.

Here’s the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BadHasbara/comments/1eydmyt/_/

Say what you will about AOC or the DSA (I’m sure there is plenty of valid criticism), but at least they win and are executing on a plan to gain power.

Why is this a good thing? The Nazis apparently knew how to gain power. Should I support them?

What’s the point of congratulating AOC on getting elected if she supports genocide? If you want that, you can vote for the other two parties anyways.

“It is normal when first piloting a Prawn suit to feel a sense of limitless power. Prawn operators receive weeks of training to counteract this phenomenon. You will have to make do with self-discipline.”

To maintain their unprovoked invasion and keep the native population out of the land was stolen. And prevent them from properly resisting the human rights abuses Israel is committing.

Pretty obvious.

I’d politely swallow my fucking desire

It sounds like he’d swallow Hitler’s “desire” to me

so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise

That’s not what this is preventing. You made this up.

This is simple austerity, which is a punishment for poor people. Kier’s openly pro-rich, pro-corporation. If you (or he) were so worried about rich people having too much money, you would support the suggestion in the article: a wealth tax. But you don’t actually want that. It’s okay to want poor people to suffer. Just admit you want austerity, like Kier has. It’s a very accepted political position, the biggest parties agree. You don’t have to hide it.

I would expect a current Labour party supporting Lemmitor to call unions “idiots”.

Jeff Bezos is actually worse, he’s just smart enough to know when to shut the fuck up

I’m aware of what happened. I’ve read that article.

I’m not sure what you think that has to do with what I said.

The Intercept is still pretty great. That happened a while ago and the articles they are putting out still cover the same kind of topics and from the same positions, at least that I’ve noticed. Every article I’ve seen has been covering stuff that the mainstream media wouldn’t, and from the left. I don’t go to their site to skim, but I haven’t seen any bad articles.

No for Israel.

I’m pretty sure they meant that in an “I’d like to see that” kind of way. At least I’m hoping so.

Because you don’t want to look at the bill because you’re racist and hate immigrants, multiple people have responded with multiple sources including the bill itself.

Now it’s already very clear to everyone here that your “stance” wouldn’t be changed by anything and you’re simply masking your apathy and racism by feigning scepticism, but are you even going to try and come back here and pretend otherwise? I highly doubt it, but hopefully your brilliant truth-seeking mind will prove me wrong!

YTDLnis is better, in my opinion.

Maybe looks a bit less “clean” (still looks great though) but the downloading menu has every option in an easy place. I really don’t like how Seal hides all the important options for the sake of simplicity.

YES. I actually relate more to Kumiko more than any character ever. The show is strangely very important to me. It’s my favorite piece of media. But it is definitely worth it to watch the rest in good quality. And I’m not sure where you are at with Japanese or still studying, but the novels are very good reading material!

And I was worried about being thought of as too negative for the audio thing, but I’m so glad someone else relates lol. I actually did a ton of audio editing on clips I used for note cards for Japanese. I had a whole pipeline for AI noise reduction -> ReplayGain (which thankfully Anki supports). I hadn’t heard of demucs, so I’ll check it out. I used a few open sourced ones, but then I just turned to my pirated Adobe software.

And it is crazy to me that streamers seem to not care about sound that much, but I do know that most people don’t notice the same things as me, so I get it. The bigger ones all seem to use the same bass-boosted mic and either no compression, or so much compression I feel like I’m trapped in a box with them. My favorite streamer, Northernlion, has the worst audio and refuses everyone’s cries for him to fix it, but he’s funny enough to get away with it.
