If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they're lying.

Evidence or GTFO.

  • Go fuck yourself. "I hope the family allowed for it to be used like this." You allowed it to be used like this by creating it.

    That's from the school in Iran that was bombed. But it's fine, I guess! Iran said mean things about Israel, after all! Also, Iran may have been trying to get a deterrent, so obviously we had to kill their schoolchildren over it!

    What the fuck is wrong with you? Your war is literally proving that the things they say about Israel are correct and that they were justified in seeking a deterrent.

  • "Rhetorical device?"

    This is what you're justifying right now.

  • I hope you have to explain yourself to murdered children in the afterlife.

  • If you're not a bot or getting paid, you should be. It might be worse if you're supporting genocide pro-bono.

  • Hasbara bot.

  • There was a Hamas base in those Venezuelan fishing boats

  • He stopped himself from invading Greenland, that counts right?

  • People like him are never held accountable for anything.

  • It's insane how obsessed libs are with this shit. If you give them any opportunity to reaffirm their loyalty to the government they'll leap at it with everything they've got.

  • The NYT is what billionaires want to tell me, and if they expect me to pay for the privilege they're out of their minds. Oughta be paying me to read that trash.

    If you were talking about actually independent sources providing other perspectives then you might have a point.

  • The hating Israel ain't looking too bad either lol

  • As the clip says, it's on the caps of their uniforms.

    I don't live in Maine or know much about the guy so I have no input on that, I'm just saying I know it. And tbf my perspective is somewhat skewed as I recognize a lot of symbols for the purposes of threat assessment.

  • Please tell me specifically what makes this qualify as news. Will you now publish every anniversary from around the world?

    No, but this one is important because there are people on here who want to deny these massacres ever happened. Also, it's an ongoing controversy.

    Or are you just another person trying to antagonize Poles and Ukrainians? Because it clearly looks like the latter.

    That's kind of a strange perspective, isn't it? If someone made a post about the anniversary of, say, The Trail of Tears for example, then I, as an American, would not be offended in the slightest. If I made a post about the Nazi German invasion of Poland, would you say I was "trying to antagonize Germans and Poles?"

    Here’s another suggestion perfect for future anniversaries you could commemorate:

    Whataboutism.

  • World News @lemmy.ml

    On this day in 1943, thousands of Polish civilians were massacred by Ukrainian Nationalist death squads in Poland's "Bloody Sunday," the bloodiest day in a broader campaign of genocide.

  • Troll.

    I'd just like to remind you that I started out trying to have an intelligent, civil conversation. Sorry you were too dumb to keep up. Sad that this is all you've got, I genuinely pity you.

  • That's not how logic works, dumbass. That's not a thing. If you want to apply my standard, you have to apply it consistently.

    What you're probably trying to do, very badly, is a reductio ad absurdum, where you show that accepting my position would lead to an absurd or self-contradictory conclusion. The problem is that my position doesn't lead to any absurd conclusions, so what you've done is assume my position, and then assume the opposite of my position in the same line of logic. Naturally, if you assume self-contradictory positions, then the result will be absurd, but that doesn't prove anything except that you don't understand how logic works. It's not self-contradiction if you have to flip back and forth between your standard and mine to get there.

    But then, of course you don't understand logic because you operate on blind faith.

  • Let me dumb this down to your level.

    "Double" is a word for when you have two of something.

    You use one standard when looking at whether the media is lying.

    You use another standard when looking at whether I'm lying.

    1+1=2

    So, you're using a double standard.

    That means that your logic is complete bullshit. End of story.

    A child could understand this. If you can't, you're either brain damaged or trolling.

  • Again, you're literally flipping the standard halfway through your chain of "reasoning" 🤣 You don't get to apply your absurdly generous standard to them and my reasonable standard to me, that's not how logic works. You have to either be reasonable in both cases or be absurdly generous in both cases.

    It doesn't really matter how much reason or evidence I present to you, can't argue with blind faith. It seems you're not only unwilling to reason and think critically, but unable to.

    I weep for our education system. I suppose it's achieved it's objective of producing an unquestioningly loyal subject incapable of thinking for yourself or reasoning independently, following whatever your told. You must be an American, because only my countrymen are this confidently stupid.

  • That's so obviously a double standard. Apply my rules to both cases, and the media is lying, which means I'm telling the truth. Apply your rules in both cases, and the media isn't lying, and neither am I. The only possible way you can get to me being a liar is if you apply a more favorable standard to the media, and switch to a more unfavorable standard with me. It's literally the textbook definition of a double standard.

    Your bias is so obvious, and it's also really fucking stupid. These people are not your friends. You're no different from people who go around stanning billionaires, against all sense and reason.
