        If you want to only experience your own opinions then why are you federated?

        I came from all, I saw a post and engaged, and you guys seem like the angry ones about it.

          I come from a different instance with distinct views and I am tolerated here, not all outsider views are shunned here, just irritating, pointless, or historically innacurate ones.

          I don’t see anger in this discussion personally. People here are well steeped in the common tropes trot out when discussing something like Palestine, we are tired of the same points being brought up that have been discredited numerous times.

      You guys show up and act like smuglord constantly, and then cry like babies when we reply with pigpoop

      There’s plenty of people who try and engage you honestly despite acting like a smarmy jackass but really don’t wander in here with your piss attitude expecting to get treated like you’re brining free donuts.

        Look at the pot calling the kettle black.

        I came in here trying to engage honestly, I didn’t even bother looking at the instance. You guys responded with this moronic pig butt. I did laugh but I’m finding this entire instance to be hostile and incestuous.

        There are other legit comments, and I’m trying to engage them honestly.

        Media literacy is dead apparently. Not surprised though. My mom spent two years studying Things Fall Apart with me when I was doing English Literature (and later on To Kill a Mockingbird with my brother). Today she believes the zionist propaganda and believes Palestinians need to be saved from Hamas.

        Also I’ve been aching to make this comment on somewhere so I will make it here:

        Pop Culture Politicals after watching TLA: Aang should have killed Ozai. Killing an evil overlord that genocided your people and aims to enslave other nations is not cold-blooded murder, it’s self defense.

        Pop Culture Politicals when real-life marginalised groups fight their oppressors: Violence is not the answer. Be peaceful like a sterotypical monk.

          This is less about media literacy and more about detachment and compartmentalization. Fiction is fiction, it’s easier to play and experiment in a fictional space because there are no real consequences. People can easily say “yes I would pull the lever to save the 5 children tied to the railroad track even if it means I have to watch one child be crushed before me due to my action, it’s the right thing to do! Just like the protagonist in this story I read.” Thing is if you actually stuck them in a freight yard with a bunch of children tied to the tracks they’d probably struggle with the choice a lot more than they did while reading a novella on their sofa.

          I think people here really give fiction and media more power than it has, people mostly just consume it for fun. Reading about plucky underdog guerrillas fighting an imperialist occupation is good story telling, it makes for exciting drama. Enjoying that doesn’t really translate to having good geopolitical takes, cuz real world drama isn’t fun, it’s uncomfortable and challenging and can actually affect your life.

        Bajor is probably the closest I think you’ll get, and on that his opinion is clear.

        And I don’t agree with Israel, I acknowledge that hamas’s attack has provoked a broader invasion and a state change in their relationship.

        There’s not always a good guy and a bad guy, and Hamas is no fucking boy scout group.

          For your dumb analogy to make any sense you’d have to pretend Picard supported the Cardassian occupation, like the US which LITERALLY finances the entire Israeli colonial project

          If the US had the same policy toward Israel as the Federation had toward Bajor, the Israeli nazi state would’ve collapsed decades ago

          Hamas is no fucking boy scout group.

          The Palestinian resistance is currently defending 2 million men, women and children from a depraved army of butchers, rapists, grave robbers and organ thieves

          You’re goddamn right they’re no boy shouts, they’re a bush-wacking guerilla army taking nazi scalps

          Now go fuck yourself nazi

            Jesus Christ.

            Picard was on the side of Bajor… I’m not trying to paint him in any other light.

            This whole server is fucked, the admins can feel free to ban me for life.

          If Hamas wasn’t there, a different militant group would be in the lead against Israel. Even on Oct. 7th several militant groups attacked Israel, not just Hamas. So they might not be seen as a “good guy” but they are fighting on the morally correct side.

          Israel frames this war as a fight against Hamas but it is against Palestine as a whole. Israeli politicans have funded and propped Hamas up specifically because of their extremism, to divide Palestinians, reduce Western sympathy, and make a more palatable enemy to slaughter.

      Are there instances where you don’t get a negative response to not answering the question that was asked by delivering obvious (and wrong) information?
