Assuming you mean the Palestinian people and not Hamas, fuck yeah we do!

[–] [email protected] 65 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hamas is no longer any sort of threat, and requiring written condemnation of their terror attack with every post about the current razing of Gaza indirectly reinforces the purported thesis behind Israel's continued wonton destruction which is that Hamas is a threat, and Hamas will attack the moment the bombs stop.

but no, we do not support hamas

I've only recently started educating myself them, so this group may have some ugly things in their history I haven't learned about yet, but -

There was/is a nationalist social democratic Palestinian organization that Hamas essentially chased out of town with support from Israeli religious conservatives, and I feel like people who want a free Palestine need to talk more about them, because social democratic sounds a hell of a lot better than whatever the hell Hamas' policies are

The IDF wants Hamas to exist longer than the civilian population so they can "excuse" total genocide of Gaza

Netanyahu literally gave Hamas seed money because they don't want a viable two state solution.

Any tips on keeping your cool when people wave around Israeli flags during a pro-Palestine protest? I started shaking with adrenaline as if it was right before a fight. D:

Mecha Bernie Sanders, but as an AGI

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

How would you suggest doing that and what purpose would it serve?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Feed it Marx and Vaush clips and have it make 196 memes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

that sounds like no joke the worst thing ever

With a bar that low, it would be easy to improve. Would throwing in books by Ayn Rand make the situation better?

Sorry I picked you at random to reply to. Revisiting this comment with a sober mind, I have no idea what I was talking about. Maybe create a bot that identifies the top 400 riches people in the world and spends its existance phishing and scamming them at a rate no human can do? The idea sat better when I couldn't think it through.

That's what made your comment entertaining to think about

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Israel are already using AI to produce targets, effectively using it as an excuse to kill civilians. They call it "The Gospel".

We don't need more of that.
