    Some wild comments on /politics receiving upvotes there. People rebuking them get their comments removed and/or banned for ‘trolling’.

    When one visit that place they would think Donald Trump is the current president who is personally strangling every child in Gaza.

    People are actively censoring and denying any responsibility from the Democrats regarding the genocide in Gaza.

    People are utter the words “Kamala was not perfect” while she is an active participant in a genocide.

    It is not “Israel can do nothing wrong because history”. Democrats are the main responsible party. Seemingly they can do no wrong because lesser evil.

    Have you ever watched one of the dystopian Biden state department briefings? It is lie after lie after lie.

    In that case the term Tankie could not be applied to China as the original meaning of the word Tankies could only apply to the Soviet Union.

    What I have always understood to be the implication is “people justifying and usually denying war crimes from a government or group which aligns with their political ideology”.

    Most often those people do not care about the war crimes. They think a government and/or government ideology is awesome and therefore will excuse any war crimes because it is for the greater good/lesser evil.

    Russia does bomb regularly bomb infrastructure such as energy plants. But Russia is not mass bombing schools, hospitals and refugee camps. Every time they do it it is front page news because 2 people died. Meanwhile Israel bombs a school killing 20 people every single day.

    If Russia did what America and Israel are doing in Gaza, the front page of newspapers would be filled with sob stories and gore. And Hamas would be praised as brave resistance fighters against the modern Nazis.











  • You are not understanding the argument.

    Let’s say two people are regularly having sex with consent. And man already agrees with her on the issues listed above.

    Then OOP pops up and says she should not have sex with him to get her rights back.

    Explain to me how not having sex with the man will get her rights back? He already supports them.





  • In my opinion, talking about women ‘withholding’ sex as a ‘punishment’ implies a certain level of expectation or entitlement, like men are entitled to have sex with women

    No they are not entitled. But the poster specifically instructs people to withhold sex. Even if the woman wants to have sex. This could make sense if the woman was having sex with someone who opposes the ownership of their bodies. But if the man already holds their point of view, what is the point? For who are they not having sex? What is being achieved?
