Not particularly, the discrepancy from title to subject was supposed to be kinda an ironic juxtaposition illustrating the difference in media representation of what events we should be concerned about. I can go ahead and switch the title up again.

Off Topic / The IOF's invasion of Gaza
« on: May 07, 2024, 01:25:00 AM »
Israel has begun it's ground assault on Rafah.
Yeah, that same Rafah that the Israeli Offensive Force previously declared the only safezone left in Gaza, where supposedly the starving and wounded palestinian men, women, and children, would be allowed to stay without threat of being bombed. Well that turned out to be a lie already with multiple airstrikes daily on the civilian population. Now, however, with the western world distracted by a bunch of rich people in fancy suits and dresses attending a stupid-ass party in New York, Israel has decided to give the middle finger to peace talks and begin bringing tanks into Rafah.
Remember that thread a couple months ago where some guy tried to excuse the genocide of Palestinian people. One point I brought up was:
And here we have the news concerned about some embarrassing stint with Jenna Ortega, and children are literally being shot by tanks.
That guy also brought up how generous Israeli forces are to announce their attacks before they occur. Well, yeah the IOF did drop fliers demanding that civillians evacuate Rafah. Except THEY LITERALLY ARE NOT ALLOWED ANYWHERE ELSE, RAFAH WAS THE LAST REFUGEE CAMP ALLOWED THEM HOLY stuff
I know it is emotionally devastating to be following all of this in real time. Honestly sometimes famous people doing stupid stuff can be a reprieve. I for one am thoroughly entertained with how Kendrick is absolutely dismanteling Drake's Career, (and the backfire when Drake told Metro Boom to stick to making drumbeats). But even these rappers could be spending a little bit of their time bringing up how stuffty US imperialism. Macklemore, of all people, managed to do it (and still drag Drake and Kendrick for wasting time on their feud)

It's a good thing the loving cops are assaulting and arresting those scary college students peacefully protesting here in the US. And when they do stand back it is to let pro-zionist aggressors beat, pepper spray, and launch fireworks into crowds of unarmed protestors without repercussions. We all know how those student protesters against the Vietnam war were a bunch of hooligans who should be imprisoned or shot. We're just keeping up an All-American Tradition of silencing dissent.
Thank god congress got together to ban TikTok as well. We wouldn't want people using a media not regulated by the imperialist state let people have access to outside sources of information and humanize the people living through this imposed crCIA.
Goddamn.
[edit]
Oh, and yeah so I just learned that Israel is now specifically attacking the border between Rafah and Egypt.
In the last thread I had brought up how the border crossing was already difficult for Palestinians as Egypt doesn't have the facilities to take in the full influx of 2 million people at once, but now with the demands to evacuate the area (and the Palestinians not being allowed anywhere else in Gaza without being considered a combatant), the only option left was to try to leave through the Egyptian border. And now they are being killed there. I cannot even begin to understand how anyone could try to justify this outright evil behaviour.

Previous moves by the Israeli Offensive Force have coincided with major relgious events such as Christmas, and cultural events that attract the US's attention such as the Superbowl.

And with 4 no post days, that also marks the most in a single month so far.
So breaking the combo to bring this up.
Also, if the forum goes 30 days without any posts does it officially close?

The Blockland Forums have fallen inactive with 0 posts in a day for the first time ever on May 27th
So I was noticing that yesterday, April 7th was also a 0 post day and went and checked and we've had 3 others last year after the May 27th,
Bringing our 0 post days to:
May 27th, 2023
September 2nd, 2023
October 3rd, 2023
October 15th, 2023
April 7th, 2024
The first no-post day occurred earlier this year than last, which we can of course attribute to climate change.
Since this post was made, there were also no-post days

Since the IDF vs Palestinian thread was locked before apparently we could come to a consensus over whether the IDF was committing genocide,
A UN Lawyer tasked specifically to investigate the IDF's actions has gone on record saying that they have sufficient evidence to prove acts of genocide are purposefully being committed against the Palestinian people.

« on: March 22, 2024, 01:15:30 PM »Alternatively, you could fall down the alt-right pipeline and then end up here.To be fair, my early days on this forum i was a hardcore "socially liberal, economically conservative, anti-feminist" libertarian.
Then I actually studied economics and political science in university (even under an adamantly conservative "competative-federalism" supporting professor), and came out anarcho-syndicalist communist.
Not trans though, but I do appreciate the occasional they/them for the affirmation of non-restrictive gender performance.
