In most red states, it is literally impossible for the GOP to win a state-wide election without massive voter suppression efforts. No shocker here. Nobody hates democracy more than Republicans.

Edit: Just like Florida, Texas is easily blue if elections there were fair, and voting wasn't intentionally made difficult for minorities and blue counties.

I tried to help you. I still hope you reject terrorism as you slide down your slope.

Has anyone read the resolution and can say who Sanders wants to do the human rights scruitny, and how they would do it in a warzone? I'd guess the UNHRC, but it's gaza so if that means UNRWA then it's silly. UNRWA is a wing of Hamas, and aids Hamas or they'd be kicked out.

Just a reminder from the past:

And those were the "teachers". #facepalm

Are they really "new questions"?

What's made up? For actual news stories I work to use high-factuality media bias fact check (MBFC) sources. For non-news pieces, you will find biased sources, but that's because they have potential or actual significant value for researching. Take the Jewish LIbrary, for instance, which I linked for a list of terrorist attacks. I DO NOT use it as a direct source (I research any info I pull from there), it’s biased. But I’ve many times used it as a lead to research something. And FWIW, I’ve yet to find a false or seriously misleading incident in that list—I’d be very interested if you did and would like to know!

It's actually quite difficult to come up with a comprehensive list of Palestinian terrorist attacks. So even though it's biased, you can use it as a start and then verify the incident on high-factuality news sources, or archives, etc. I’d equate it to sources I use on the Nakba. I read and have researched claims about the Nakba—many are very biased and often nothing but allegations (read lacking sources). But they’re good starts. If you’ve never researched it, start with the Wikipedia as a jumping off point for your research (same thing, Wikipedia is a war-zone for the bias—so further research anything you find there): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

For example, Deir Yassin, horrible shit happened here, serious WAR CRIMES by Palestinian Jews fighting to get Israel established and recognized. The crimes are grave enough that TO THIS DAY the IDF won’t release their files on Deir Yassin. A lot of the allegations we know about, though, I am inclined to believe, especially with so much time passing and Israel still refusing to release what they have on the crime. But, MY POINT, is that most are still allegations, still biased, but not something to dismiss. I believe a lot of the Palestinian Arab accounts of what the Palestinian Jews did.

Please let me know if what you mean is "I live in a bubble of Hamas propaganda, alt-left echo chamber, and these facts and sources that I intentionally shield myself from don't conform to a false narrative I've been following as I become indoctrinated and more radical." Because if that's the case, then you DEFINITELY SHOULD read these stories.

Don't automatically believe them. Research them and then come back with alternate sources, prove they're bullshit--OR, and holy fuck it's crazy to suggest, pierce through your MHGA brainwashed haze that you see the world through and find out how dangerously down the line you are in aligning yourself with terrorists.

I’ll close with, please don’t become a terrorist. Right now you’re clearly on that path. You might be far from committing an act, but you’re well into indoctrination so that you can’t even view dissenting voices and sources without getting enraged and emotionally lashing out. That’s a super bad red flag.

It seems like a potential scalability issue, and a lot of work. Props to the administrators who deal with this right now.

So basically a silk road alternative, but not really because it would be much easier to track down and remove a node? Or is it possible to also hide a node and rely on forcing de-federation?

For a free throw example, because it shouldn't become a go-to for child pornography.

Thank you for this. It helps me with further inquiry—I wasn't sure what to search. Again, thank you!

Soon. Very soon.
