It’s a mystery! I’ll never understand why the week after yet another price hike, I quit because of the price hike. I guess I just act randomly in response to price hikes.

Ahaha, dang I got so excited before google pointed out I’m an idiot and meant season 4. (But on the other hand, did find out it was renewed for a 4th, so that’s groovy!)

I think of it like those people are subsidizing my free content.

If no one subscribes, we don’t get Love, Death and Robots season 3 4!

Gotta love the “everyone I disagree with is a shill/bootlicker” playbook.

And my local mosque isn’t the sole representation for all Muslims, but if I falsely claimed they advocated rape, I’d be being pretty bigoted.

At least be consistent; you got annoyed when I pointed out that the articles you posted show that rape is absolutely not an Israeli government position. But this comment takes the opposite tack.

As you grow up, hopefully you’ll learn that reality is a thing and not just whatever suits the argument at hand.

Bye.

And to your larger point, you are welcome to create your own server or community and allow whomever to say whatever they’d like, regardless of how bigoted or incorrect they might be!

As many have said, this isn’t a fediverse problem, nor is it a suggestion to improve the fediverse, this is a you complaining about mods doing what the commubity expects of them.

Have a good night.

So if someone commits a crime, fair to accuse them of all crimes?

That part is still claiming you made a factual claim. And that part is still incorrect.

So, I noted that it is wildly inaccurate and far from a factual claim.

You can’t posit something reprehensible, a few paragraphs later decide you might be wrong and then be annoyed when people correct your original claim.

Well, you’re arguing that there’s some wider conspiracy etc. And in public discourse, ehhhhhh it’s more a very tricky line to walk.

But if you’re not talking in response to why this person has their comment removed, then it doesn’t seem particularly relevant.

It reminds me of when people are talking about the latest police killing of an unarmed Black man and a right winger comes in to talk about Black on Black violence statistics, not particularly relevant and it feels like they’re doing it to demonize the group in question.

You had multiple comments, I responded one at a time. In future, I’d just delete or edit the original. I’m not going to track down and check each thread you may have participated in etc.

Because I don’t think it’s cool to accuse the Israeli government of having a policy of rape? Jesus, get a grip kid.

You know, come to think of it, maybe if I think a group is doing things with which I disagree, I ought to be able to make up whatever other offenses too. It’s like when women who have abortions become racist and transphobic, which is why abortion should be prohibited. /s

Read the first paragraph of the first link you submitted “An Israeli Defense Forces officer who has been imprisoned since 2017 for multiple sexual offenses, including the rape of…”

In other words, the Israeli defence force arrested the guy for rape.

If you actually have news that indicates rape is a government policy, then post the article and see what happens.

But, one of the tried and tested approaches for right wing trolling is to lobby a whole bunch of accusations with some nonsense ina semi related thread and force everyone else to go and debunk them ad nauseum, it’s not particularly enjoyable and is exactly why we have moderators.

Read the comment again, closely. Arguing the Israeli government has a policy of rape is pretty gross.

Ehhh, accusing the Israeli government of having a policy of rape is pretty out there and kind of indistinguishable from general anti semitism. Fwiw, I’d have removed it too.

The Boys, Expanse, Invincible, Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings, Fleabag, Good Omens, Man in the High Tower and Reached come to mind. Admittedly, I haven’t watched a few of those.

Oh absolutely.

meant eight more years of the same neoliberal bullshit that’s been degrading western nations

I think this is the crux.

I mean that in terms of what a modern western government is going to do, the Liberals have done pretty well. I’d like more etc but I’m relatively impressed by the start.

There’s a large difference between “not doing what you would do” on an issue and not doing anything.

I also tend to think that creating and refining multiple new national programs takes more than a couple of years.

Housing - They put 82 billion dollars towards building new homes. It’s a process that takes years, if not decades. Even though, housing is generally, something that should be handled at the municipal/provincial level. I also love the idea of looking into the war time housing measures to mass produce houses.

Groceries - Inflation and a war in the bread basket of Europe have caused an issue everywhere. I’m not entirely sure I want the government mandating prices… Have we seen a plausible alternative from any of the other parties?

Climate change - Did you not see the whole “only EVs by 2030” pitch? Or the carbon tax scheme that has Polievre absolutely freaking out?

The other big things that are in progress (again, government shit, especially coming out of a global pandemic, takes time) and most impress me are:

National $10 a day daycare. That is an absolute game changer, especially for our lowest earners and young families. (Talk to any parent about how crazy expensive day care is. For a parent on minimum wage it makes almost no sense to work.)

Dental care for low income folks. Teeth are super important and I’ve had low earning friends have serious trouble because they couldn’t afford check ups which caused real problems down the road.

And of course, I would say that rolling out the covid relief plan in a coherent targeted way was nothing short of impressive. Compare that to our southern neighbours who gave less money and poorly targeted, a colossal waste of money.

Are things perfect? No! Could they be better? Absolutely. But to say they have nothing other than “we’re not the CPC” seems disingenuous, poorly informed or a poor grasp of how politics and reality work.

America would have to maintain gigantic transoceanic supply lines.

Those supply lines aren’t subject to attack though. They’d have to defend them against submarine attacks across thousands and thousands of kilometers. In that sort of fight, advantage to the attacker.

They seem pretty okay with casualties in every war since Vietnam.

Not in the numbers required for a ground war in Europe. America lost some 7,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and its been considered a major debacle. Consider the number of casualties in Ukraine…

The USA military is beholden to the president over anyone else.

Oh, probably legal. Buy there would be massive protests, maybe riots etc. It would be a huge internal headache and distraction.
