Yeah, I wish more politicians were like him and less like the ghouls they are.

I don’t know who that lady was, but did she really just advocate for the mass murder of children on television?

She and the rest of the people trying their best to destroy this world with their weaponozed ignorance.

Just say what's up. People like it. It takes a little bit of charisma to pull off, but the main obstacle with it is that you can't be trying to figure out some kind of compelling lie that you can tell so you can keep doing favors for your friends who are slaughtering human children, just whole stadiums full of little ones with their guts spilling out.

For most people in Washington, that's a deal breaker, so this kind of wildly popular election-winning formula is just off limits.

💔 Fuck the world

Damn, that was a super classy response

Outside the politics bit and the making it about New York because he's running for New York Mayor hence to represent all New Yorkers and their interests, I want to emphasise the core in his point that it's all about principles:

  • I have these Principles, my Principles apply the same to everybody, I stand by my Principles equally for all.

I just had this big discussion with colleague of mine who started a critique about the flotilla trying to get help to Gaza by mentioning some local (I'm not in the US) leftwing politician that's in it.

It really pissed me off because this has nothing to do with political affiliation and I don't care about political affiliation - it's about being against victimizing en masse people who did nothing wrong, because they're part of a specific ethnicity.

It's the principle of the thing - though shall not harm those who did you no wrong (even if they look like people who did do you wrong) - and the principle of the thing applies the same no matter which political forces have sided with whom.

Further, in my view it's the most immoral think imaginable to excuse mass murdering of civilians because one's political favorites have chosen a side: you're either a Moral person with a sense of Right and Wrong and hence whose judgment of the Right or Wrong of certain actions is based on the actions themselves (not on which tribes are seen as aligned with any side), or what you have is not Morals, just a doglike "follow the leader".

Anyway, it's nice to see somebody so nicelly making the point of "these are my principles and as principles they apply the same for everybody".

Like...what did he say that she disagrees with it? I assume she means the terminology "genocide", but come on, at this point hes freely speaking his mind, why nitpick and seem like the biggest witch in existence.

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I think that was in reference to her initial question that he has said that Israel doesn't have the right to exist as a Jewish state, or refused to affirm that.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

I suspect that she means that Israel should be able to kill Palestinian families if they want to, and anyone who says otherwise is an enemy. Of course, she can't say that specifically, so she has to toss up strawmans about supporting Hamas's war crimes, or just say she "disagrees" without being specific.

Failed to load media. Was this taken down?

[-] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

Still works for me. Are you on Tor / VPN?

[-] jawa22 9 points 2 days ago

A lot of people have problems with catbox. It's the best compromise for video clip hosting imo, but I have yet to ever find a better one (and I've done a lot of looking). There will always be a fair percentage that just can't access the site for whatever reason.

That might’ve been it. I can see it now :) Thanks
