The Joe Biden legacy is literal genocide. What kind of insane person do you have to be to not be happy about this? This is objectively awesome.
You don’t have to be insane to not be happy about this. I believe in ‘harm reduction’, which is to say: If joe biden were still president, i would probably not be upset if some medical condition removed him from the presidency, because then he could no longer actively do harm from his position of power.
But now? He has almost no active power or influence over anything. His suffering doesn’t benefit me or reverse any previous harms he’s caused.
Yeah so? Does him not having power absolve him of his previous crimes? He had not even expressed any regret for them.
What is the purpose of punishment? To reform behavior? Or to make you feel better?
You can claim justice, but in this case, that's just making you feel better. You want to hurt someone because they hurt others. That's how we've had never-ending wars. We as a species need to grow past this
Do you think the Nuremberg trials were bad too?
Using "pacisim" to excuse a genocidal maniac who has expressed zero regret for his actions. What a joke. I am glad Hitler died and I am glad Joe Biden is dying.
The world will grow past these war criminals and their genocide mindset.
You're making assumptions. Fuck no. What's happening is Gaza is some of the stupidest ape-brain shit we've ever done. So chill out, my dude.
But this lust for vengeance is how Israel and Hamas continued escalating shit. Not a rational brain anywhere in that mess. "They hurt people, so I want to hurt them" is moronic. "They hurt people, so how do I stop them" is how we should be thinking.
Hamas has not continued anything. Israel is the only party which refuses to accept a peaceful resolution. Hamas has accepted a two state solution since 2017. Israel refuses it.
It is telling that you are trying to do a both sides on a genocide while feeling bad for its perpetrators.
Hamas has long accepted the internationally recognized peaceful resolution according to 1967 borders and Israel refused it.
Hamas uses violence as a last resort. Israel uses violence as a first resort.
Get your revisionist history out of here.
Chicken or the egg.
My comment was removed by the mod, but that doesn't make it any less true. My comment was only removed because I insulted you. Sorry I hurt your fee-fees.
Thank you for also agreeing with me that Hamas is not innocent. It's nice to be able to agree with someone even if they don't even realize they proved your point.
Apology accepted. You should consider reading my comment again.
I did. You clearly don't understand the phrase chicken or the egg. Going back a thousand years can you tell me which religious ethno state definitely started all of this. No you can't because historians can't. It literally two groups that are attacking each other because the other did something bad a generation ago. It goes back and forth.
This is literally an eye or an eye and it appears to make every, even those not fighting, blind.
Look at you blaming both sides for genocidal settler colonialism. Proud of you for avoiding Hamas accepting a 2 state solution and going in the loop again.
You're putting words in my mouth and completely ignoring everything I said. But if that's what you have to do to cope, go for it.
This war has been going on for thousands of years, Israel is committing genocide for something Muslims did a hundred years ago. A hundred years before that they retaliated because of something Jews did to them. So on and back and forth.
I've explained this in three posts now. You still don't get it and you still want to argue against something that I'm not even saying.
If that's the only way you know how to communicate then there is nothing more to say, there's nothing anyone can do to help you, and I wish you the best.
Please get help.
Wow, it is crazy that you do not know anything about history and you are posting so confidently. No surprise from someone who is apologizing for Israel.
Isn't every American presidents legacy genocide? Why is it so much more front and center for biden?
Biden was part of all of the warmongering as well. He was a primary pusher for the Iraq invasion. Even before his presidency Biden was a massive piece of shit.
But during his presidency he facilitated a straight clear genocide. Anyone empathizing with Biden is an awful person.
If Bush gets cancer tomorrow I am cheering too.
“Have some humanity” said by the person who is okay with democrat committing genocide.
It's very telling how you people equate not wanting to cheer for an old man dying of cancer with approving of genocide.
Person directly responsible for a genocide in a concentration camp = "old man".
I interpret your comment as one of the most extreme forms of racism and basically admitting that you do not see Palestinians as human.
Because if you did you would not feel a shred of empathy for the people responsible for their suffering.
This like if someone says "if I go back in time I will kill baby Hitler" then they respond to you " you are a baby killer"
No there is a different between " I don't want to cheer for Biden having cancer" and " don't cheer for Biden having cancer" the second statement is approving genocide, the first is not.
That's the neat part, it is! It's front and center for Biden because it's here and now, and more people have a personal connection to Israel and Palestine than other genocides.
Or get something worse than whatever his genocidal buddy got
Joe Biden is a limp dick idiot and I'm glad he's fucking dying. hahahhaha thank God all men die.
Sadly I do not have enough hope for America to judge Biden for his war crimes within the coming 20 years.
