Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Nope, I've not worked for the DoJ for years - as a contractor I've worked with various state departments over the course of my career. Speaking of which, I've gone to every No King's protest and handed out abolish ICE stickers - not sure how that makes me a collaborator.
So, and I need you to pay the fuck attention to what I'm asking, why would anyone ever assume that this 'real meaning' matters when tensions between both countries have been rising over the past 70 years?
Why would I, ever, as an American assume that 'Death to America' combined with 'America deserved 9/11' doesn't mean exactly what the fuck it says?
'I'm just joking!' 'I'm just asking questions!' 'I'm just citing the original meaning!'
You can fuck right off with that bullshit.
glad that you're attending the performative protests, I'm not a big fan of the indivisible orgs i've run into. most recently had one group attempt to burn our local anti-ice group because they did a protest without a permit. complete impotent hall monitor energy.
I mean i do expect ignorance from americans, I live here and i see it every day. I like to challenge you guys a little bit, gives you room to show what you really think about the rest of us.
that's a hell of a euphamism for 'we couped their government and have been waging decades of economic war
you definitely sound like a government employee, bought in
Right, I forgot - nothing short of bombing the place I work will do. No I need to give you a diatribe of all the ways I've made life hard for ICE/MAGAts - because only then can I be a true ~~scotsman~~ I mean comrade.
This is weird, I went to the protests specifically to connect with groups that would act outside of the protests.
My dudette, you don't need to bother punctuating. If it gets you to the answers faster I don't give a shit. Also, none of this has been a challenge - this is just me killing time.
Where did I say that this was good? When have I ever said the Iranians deserve what's happened to them? When have I ever said that the U.S. should be in the Middle East? I'm surprised you haven't tried to say I'm pro Israel.
Holy shit, you're sitting here trying to suggest I'm ignoring nuance when that is quite literally your entire shtick. You're sitting here acting like you don't know damn well what you were doing (shit slinging, exactly like I was) and you expect me to treat you with respect?
tbh at this point even if you did luigi your office i would still disavow you on the basis of your gross behavior to me
like if you're actually opposed to the carceral state that you were a part of and have some remorse about that i would think you would have a little less vitriol for those of us on the left that call for it to be abolished.
i call for death to america because we bring death everywhere else and comfortable americans need to have their sensibilities shocked a bit.
'amerikkka must be dismantled' doesn't have the same ring to it
i go to these things for the same reason too yaknow. my orgs a regular at pretty much every protest.
tell me about it, i did get to educate you about my favorite political slogan tho at least
yes. in every interaction we've had you seem to have more ire for people on your left than nazis, zionists, conservatives. if you want me to view you as anything other than an abusive asshole maybe you could try changing your tack
Yes nothing is ever good enough, blah blah blah, I'm a zionist or a fascist or whatever - shut the fuck up and crawl back into your safe space.
excuse me for having an opinion of you based on your actions and work history
also ty for demonstrating again in classic bluemaga fashion you have more hostility to people on your left than nazis, zionists or conservatives
You simply must be braindead, to think that I wouldn't speak this way to conservatives or nazis. I'm not sure where the zionists are, but you seem to know much more about that than I do.
You can go cry in your safe space now, I'm sure there will be someone there you can circlejerk with.
What do you mean? You post on meanwhileongrad, here's you circlejerking about Hamas with some Zionists in your safe space.
In this you're crying about how mean people are to Americans and then doing the same thing you did with me earlier. asserting that they're fake trans for not going along with Zionist narratives about Muslims and for not being american jingoists like you are
You dredge up a comment from 3 years ago and think you're beating the schizo allegations?
Also, how many times have you pivoted at this point? Are you part of the schizo squad that follows Hasan Piker around and harasses people for him? That would actually be fucking hilarious.
it was actually extremely easy, i just searched for comments you made about hamas in the nazi bar
i don't watching fucking streamers, but thanks for tipping your hand as to where your political education comes from
fish is unaware of the water it swims in
Cultist says I'm dumb and wrong, I'm in shambles! Meanwhile they sweep for Mao and Stalin.
Like I've said, you're a schizo extremist that's found themselves captured by a cult.
dawg i'm an anarchist, this is just where i come to shitpost
Yet here you are advocating for an institution!
Or is Hamas not an institution? Oh, right, if they're brown it means they're just poor people punching up, if they're white they're wrong. I forgot how that self hatred works, you are white correct?
ну как сказать, смотря у кого спросить
i want palestinians to stop being murdered by a colonial state armed with tax money i'm contributing to
taking issue with demonizing the targets of the us-israeli genocide is not advocacy for any institution
No I'm pretty sure everyone accepts that Russians are white, but whatever - it's not like this kind of mental gymnastics is outside the realm of possibility for you.
Of course, because they're poor brown people who can't create institutions! Also the Holodomor didn't happen and the deaths in the Great Leap Forward were all good for the country.
Everywhere you try to pivot you end up contradicting yourself. Which is par for the course, you have an imaginary ideology.
you jump around making up positions for me plucked from your own ignorance and then say i'm the one pivoting and imagining things. incredible.
How? I assume you're deceitful, you are, so I write off the things you say and make up whatever I want about you. How is this inconsistent?
You call yourself an anarchist yet all you do is sweep for mass murderers. Of course your ideology is imaginary lmao
you don't like me (wonder why that is
) so you make up things to get mad at. got it.
i am an anarchist cause that's who my comrades are in organizing irl. i'm not in any ml orgs, but i do prefer their presence to liberals or whatever you're supposed to be.
also a collaborator with the carceral state, i would rather be dead in a ditch
Ah yes, I don't like you and the reason must be because you're trans - not that you regularly dehumanize Americans and sweep for mass murderers.
I sincerely doubt you go outside.
