As a man, this meme is some real "men are suffering in the patriarchy too" bullshit take. This isn't a "win" or some kind of "ace in the hole" for women, it's a symptom of just how much they're objectified by men. God forbid desperate women try to not die in a world where money is a precondition for survival, you think she was just itching for a chance to sell her body and was excited to do so? What about men? What about us? News flash, we're not entitled to having women buy our nudes. If you as a man see this story and your first thought is "this is unfair to men!!!" you're a misogynist, and an asshole in general.
Lol the capitalist countries who have their own oil, like Canada, might as well not have it as far as their citizens are concerned because the prices are still skyrocketing.
"Hey don't blame us, that's just the market price now. What are we supposed to do? Not cash in on the global resource crisis?"
I concede that there are some problematic takes in that thread, but they also don't seem to me like actionable threats or anything that could conceivably incite real world acts. I just see people who are angry at the current events venting their anger with little prior thinking through of the full implications. Not defending that, but... actually I tried to opine further but I feel I'm not knowledgable enough to talk about this, I personally wouldn't make those comments so I haven't really thought about justifying nor condemning people who do.
Got references you can point to? Most of the threads I read specifically want them to face justice for their crimes. Which is part of human rights. Getting the death penalty after being found guilty of participating in literal genocide is more than fair and doesn't violate human rights.
Also, people say hyperbolic shit when they're angry. And this war has understandably made a lot of people extremely angry. Not defending them if they really are calling for taking away human rights, but those people won't be the actual ones deciding or even influencing what happens to anyone after the war so your tone policing is not doing much to help.
You know this is a throwaway meme post right? It's a low effort dunk on objectively horrible people and nothing else. I'm genuinely wondering if this might be a cultural/language misinterpretation, but it's worth noting that hyperbole and taking talking points to their extremes is a pretty common trope in English meme culture. No one means it literally. No one is actually saying they're taxonomically not human? No one is saying they don't deserve human rights? What rights did you think we want to take away from them?
Capitalists: "Under communism you're just a pawn for the State to use with no regard to how you feel!"
Capitaism: "Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" "Let's just deny every health insurance claim regardless of validity, they're too poor to sue us anyway." "Don't need to fix the exploding fuel tank on our new car, the cost of retooling the production line is greater than the expected wrongful death settlements we'll have to pay."
America: Literally rains death on other countries.
Americans: How dare you say death to America! You're the real problem with the world!
Which "human right" did you promote? Not getting dunked on in a meme community isn't a human right. Literally no one here is doing anything to anyone other than insult literal fucking genocidal settlers, which they have every right to.
Also, I said zionist sympathizer. You sympathized with zionists. Would you have tone policed Polish people calling Germans inhuman monsters in the 1940s as well?
I agree, not for the same zionist sympathesizing reason you do, but because I fucking HATE the trope of brushing off what humans are capable of doing and painting this artificially idealized picture of what humans are "supposed" to be.
You don't get to say those people aren't humans to absolve yourself. You don't get to pick and choose which people you consider "human" to make yourself feel less guilty about being human. You have everything in common with them, as do I. "Oh those people committing unspeakable atrocities weren't acting with humanity!" Shut the FUCK up. If anything, committing unspeakable atrocities against other humans is the most human thing possible. Humans suck. And the sooner we realize that the sooner we can actually start working to meaningfully move past our species' horrific legacy beyond useless lip service.
but the troops should have been warmed not to expose themselves to danger like this.
Wat? Pretty sure they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for the fucking army.
Thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts: Yeah she's gonna die.
Prayers: Hey God, remember to warm up the brimstone for this one!
