  • honestly aside from explicitly right wing outlets, I don’t see any particular bias against harris. most outlets will almost alway criticize trump on everything while most of the time they praise harris and sometimes they criticise her on her more progression policies (because most of the media tilts fiscal conservative). it’s rather more of a perceptions of the audience thing. trump has done so many outlandish shit that now most of his bullshit gets filtered out as noise.

    also i don’t wanna be mean but the question “Why does it feel standards are much higher for Harris than Trump?” sounds like it’s coming from an agitated"vote blue no matter who" democrat who is baffled about why would people not vote for the obviously better candidate.

    there are a lot of reasons as you said “this race is STILL either 50/50 or tilt Trump”. maybe it’s because she’s black or female and there are a lot of racist and misogynists out there, maybe it’s because of the electoral college, maybe it’s because of the hold the MAGA cult has over its members, or maybe it’s because harris is refusing to stop arming and helping a genocide and that is turning people off.

    the Harris campaign right now can only change one of these factors. even if you plan on voting, lie on the polls and organise and protest against the genocide because if enough people do this to force the hand of the Harris campaign then it wouldn’t be a close race at all.

    NaN stands for Not a Number. to simplify very briefly (and not accurate at all), when defining a standard for representing fractional values using binary digits in computers they systematically assigned natural numbers in a range of values to some fractional numbers. some of the possible natural numbers for reasons not worth talking about were unused, so they were designated as NaNs, and the value of the NaN itself is supposed to tell you what went wrong in your calculations to get a NaN. obviously if you use a NaN in an arithmetic operation the result is also Not a Number and that’s what the meme is referring to.


  • ah yes behave more carefully so that they don’t get caught committing a genocide lmao. since everyone cut funding to UNRWA after this ruling, i don’t think so. are they gonna arrest people that prevented aid trucks from coming in? are they gonna fire people that made genocidal statements? is there any sort of investigation in the military as to prevent war crimes and possible genocidal conduct? i somehow doubt after almost 4 months of doing a genocide they are suddenly going to change course.


  • south africa didn’t get everything it wanted and the ruling was mostly a nothing burger since it was just a warning to israel that it is bound by the genocide convention, however you cannot say the ruling was in favor of israel as israel lost on almost all fronts. israel wanted this case to be thrown out on jurisdictional reasons which didn’t happen, they claimed that no sensible actor could perceive actions of israel as genocidal which was refuted by court, and most important of all they used statements made by israeli officials as indication of genocidal intent, which israel claimed was solely aimed at hamas (it was not everyone with at least 3 brain cells could’ve recognized that). even if court ordered more immediate measures israel and its allies wouldn’t follow them, so nothing really lost there.

    all and all it was a medium sized propaganda win for the anti-zionist side since it questioned the absolute support western countries have thrown behind israel. human right watches and NGOs saying you may be doing genocide is one thing, an internationally recognized arbitration court saying it is a different thing. i doubt nothing will come out of it but still nice to have.





  • you are a genocide denier, you cannot be reasoned with. as for anyone else that might even slightly agree with this person i recommend you to watch this video Gaza: A Clear Case of Genocide which is a legal analysis based on the internationally recognized definition of genocide and case law.

    this videos answers whether or not actions of Hamas are relevant (it’s not), do palestinians in gaza constitute whole or a part of a group (they do), whether or not israeli leaders have genocidal intent (which can be established based on repeated and systematic conduct and war crimes as well as countless statements and revealed plans), and if their acts are covered under the genocide convention (they are).

    if you want to “get into actually debating the genuine issue” here you are. the reason i say you cannot be reasoned with is that your response is simply the stupidest thing i have read in a while. when someone cannot even concede that palestinians in gaza are in fact part of a group, they are simply not arguing with good faith, or even bad faith, they are not even arguing just putting their head in the sand and shitting as loudly as possible on the other end in hopes of silencing others.

    very good and thorough analysis of whether or not israel’s actions have reached the international legal definition of genocide (spoilers it does). i don’t think the ICJ complaint is gonna go anywhere but one can only hope.

    BadEmpanada’s main channel videos are very good it’s a shame his presence outside of his youtube channel is just trolling and baiting.
