this thread is legit blowing my mind

The US was (and still is) ideologically aligned with the Nazis, and only joined WW2 in the 11th hour because Japan forced them to with the attack on Pearl Harbor. To think that the US "won the war" or should be uniquely congratulated for their contributions to the war is... absurd. If anyone should be awarded that honor, it's the Soviets.
Edit: I really like this place. Yall taught me so much in the replies and it felt welcoming to learn it. This type of discourse seems so rare to find these days. Thank you comrades!

This is such a kind idea for a thread, thank you for making it ❤
My ex family, i miss them a little, but if they're so shit they're cutting me off just for being vegan like, good riddance
This whole story is so fucked, I'm SO sorry you were treated like that. I'm vegan and I'm so tired of all the little jokes and the random snark and the hostility, carnists being offended by my just existing in front of them and daring to live according to my values. When I first went vegan, my then bf (no longer) was personally offended by my veganism, insisting I did it to disrespect him. It's amazing how so much shit can simmer under the surface until you decide to publicly take a stand for an exploited group.
when the abuse or neglect is subtle, it's harder to spot and heal from. It just feels like something is slightly wrong with you because everyone is treating you different. Meanwhile it's easy to say the other more extreme trauma that happened to me was traumatizing and point out why.
I relate to this so hard. ❤
Ugh I'm so sorry. ❤️
whichever it is, please dont mistake me for a redditor 
Thanks, I had a whole breakdown when it happened 😀
You're so sweet! Tbh I don't know if there's a future for me in streaming. Streaming these days feels so uncomfortable for me since so much of my income at this point comes from the same people whose voices im trying to amplify. Plus the CONSTANT harassment campaigns (usually launched by the same fashy people I used to run with back in my edgier days). Plus McCarthyism (like the ban I'm fighting rn). Plus the nonstop sexism. I'm tired.

Liberals love to point to the thing they caused and publicly mourn it for social capital

Many killed, many more wounded, hundreds detained, attacked, threatened, injured simply for doing their jobs.

The "Words of Iron" app gives zionists one centralized hub to promote posts that support Israel by increasing their engagement (including by pasting pre-written comments) while directing users to anti-zionist posts to report in an effort to get the post or the poster removed from the internet. It's a zionist brigading app.

Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur 3h Can everyone please stop the dumb "from the river to the sea" chant? It is incredibly hurtful to our Jewish brothers and sisters. It's also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians. Do not chant something that majority thinks is call for genocide. Not complicated. Dec 11, 2023 · 11:09 PM UTC
In the meantime, just over the border, thousands of Palestinian children remain trapped under the rubble and dying from disease, starvation, dehydration, and injuries.
The fucking grotesque asymmetry.
