creating islands

This is the funniest imperialism accusation yet.

Yeah if you don’t mind getting your head blown off you can.

Oh, I must have missed all the comments calling every America a nation comprised entirely of Nazis and war junkies, let me double check… no, still can’t find them. Weird.

America has plenty of Nazis and war junkies, but at least in this particular case, most people are opposing the war.

It’s very rare for that to happen. When the US invaded Afghanistan, Bush was sitting at around a 90% approval rating. A strong majority of Americans supported invading Vietnam. US military spending is higher than the next nine countries combined, a fact which I harp on constantly. Even so, it’s simply factual that Israelis are much more supportive of the Iranian War and the genocide in Gaza than Americans are. So you’re wrong on two counts, first that Israelis are more bloodthirsty than Americans (facts are not antisemetic, btw no matter how much you don’t like them), and second that I do frequently criticize Americans for being bloodthirsty.

You’ve shown a picture of a bombing made by the US and are blaming it on Israel. It’s not some small minor detail.

It is a minor detail. An incredibly minor, insignificant detail. The US and Israel are in this war together, it’s a joint operation. Both commit frequent atrocities. You even acknowledge the fact that Israel has bombed schools and hospitals, which means there’s zero actual point to the distinction you’re making.

It’s pure bad faith, hasbara tactics. You’re latching on to whatever insignificant detail allows you to defend Israel and denounce it’s critics as antisemitic. You’re completely full of shit.

I just said the reason Israelis want to destroy Iran’s missile and nuclear programs is mainly because they are genuinely afraid Iran is developing said programs to be used against them, and that fear isn’t unreasonable

What about Iran? Do Iranians get to be afraid of Israel’s nukes? Why does the “reasonable” fear only go one way? Israel is an extremely beligerant, genocidal, expansionist, nuclear armed country. Iran is none of those things.

But people like you don’t consider Iranians to be human beings. White people get to have “reasonable” fears. Brown people get their faces shoved into the dirt, their children slaughtered, and anything short of “thank you sir, may I have another?” is labelled as antisemitism by you fucks. You lost every ounce of credibility the moment you dropped that “blood libel” accusation. Fuck off.

Israel and the US are birds of a feather. Whenever I criticize the US role in this shit, people blame Israel. Now I’m criticizing Israel’s role and you’re trying to blame the US. It’s a completely meaningless distinction, they’re in bed together and they do all this shit together. You’re just playing debatebro and latching onto whatever bullshit you can find to try to label me as antisemitic like you Zionazis fucks always do.

You treat this like some kind of fucking game with your smuglord shit. Fuck off back to Reddit, asshole, no one wants you here.

Shit, just when we thought we’d found a time everyone was free for D&D.

blaming this specific bombing on Israel it very close to a blood libel.

“Um, actually it’s kind of antisemitic for you to be upset about murdered children.” Do you Zionazis not have another line? That rhetoric has been abused so opportunistically that it’s done. I don’t give a single solitary shit if you call me an antisemite for not wanting murdered children.

Follow your leader, Nazi scum.

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.

Lol.

Literally costs negative money.

It literally saves the hospital money.

Magnets.

I know what you’re thinking. “Did he die 8 times, or only seven?” Well to tell the truth, in all the confusion, I kinda lost track myself. You’ve gotta ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do you punk?

You can’t tell me the comment I replied to wasn’t a negative reaction.

From the assumption that nets would only be installed as the result of a lawsuit and that the nets would cost the hospital money it doesn’t have, when in fact they probably save the hospital money.

It isn’t, actually.

Contrary to what people seem to assume, putting up minor obstacles to prevent suicide has been scientifically proven to be effective at reducing suicides not only at that specific location, but in the general area (meaning people don’t just find another way to do it).

Suicide is generally an irrational, often spontaneous act. Suicidal people are, in the vast majority of cases, not thinking clearly. Requiring someone to engage their brain enough to come up with another method of suicide often makes them also question whether they actually want to do it or not. Having a big open fall on the other hand, offers a quick, convenient escape that someone who is feeling overwhelmed or desperate might be tempted by, even if they wouldn’t do it if they had to actually make a plan.

Empirical evidence suggests that restricting access to certain suicide methods is highly effective at preventing suicide, prompting the construction of physical barriers in many high-risk jumping locations. However, some have argued that these measures are too costly and only lead to method or location substitution.

Results clearly show that physical barriers are highly effective at preventing suicide by jumping with little to no method or location substitution occurring. Furthermore, their cost is far outweighed by the monetary benefits of averted suicides.

A related concept, requiring guns to be kept in nested containers where you have to open multiple layers has been shown to reduce road rage incidents. Every additional barrier provides a chance for you to remember yourself. And having an easy means of suicide around the house (such as a gun) increases suicide rates. People are not computers.

If you ask me (or the scientists who have studied this), any large drop like this ought to have nets, and people on the internet can whine all they want about it.

I’ll never understand why so many people hate suicide prevention.

How much does a net even cost?
