What the fuck is wrong with your brain that you think people being sympathetic for human beings who are being mercilessly murdered by an oppressive regime is suspicious? Suspicion of what, Matt? What the fuck is wrong with you, Matt?
Quite a lot of American conservatives (and libs, but MANY conservatives) cannot comprehend having sympathy for someone not part of their 'in group'.
Showing compassion is weak since people are supposed to pull themselves up, and helping them is either detrimental towards them 'developing those skills', or condescendingly insulting, or both (we won't talk about the 'if they're too weak they deserve it' freakshows). Never mind how they got there in the first place, or how deeply screwed they may be. Or maybe just showing compassion regardless.
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!People are "obsessed" with Palestine because it's been blatantly obvious that this very thing, this genocide, has been (at least for a lifetime) just around the corner the whole fucking time! Wholly funded and supported by the very states that it's "strange" people are obsessed about it in (just say white peole you fucking racist)! The most recent phase of which alone has been ramping up for longer than the entire Nazi rise to power, WW2, Holcaust, and fall of the Nazi regime! This has been the plan, the agenda, backed by our states for longer than I've been alive! And it's often seemed like the only things holding it back have been opposition in backer countries and the potential geopolitical fallout! People are obsessed because it's the most brazen, openly planned crime against humanity in a century and the absolute bottom of the barrel, lowest bar, simplest moral test imaginable! If you can't meet that standard you have no moral compass and your values are genocidal white supremacy, that's it!
By the way, noticing with Tlaib that White America is doing that thing again where any POC person who is expressing righteous anger over an injustice gets painted with the “irrational anger / hysterical / unhinged / crazed / hate-filled / etc” brush. Only white people are allowed to get mad, usually at grave injustices like “being told a wear a mask in a shop” and things like that. Death to America.
Used to be that wight men had passion and righeous fury, women were hysterical and POC were plain mad. Now that wight women have been well co-opted to the mainstream, it's gauche to call them hysterical.
No we definitely still get called hysterical if we are in any way challenging to the status quo.
I was taken to the holocaust museum three times as a kid and got a very clear message: Never Again. The fact that the victims aren't Jewish this time is irrelevant.
What a piece of shit, also love how he starts to explains the plight of the Iraqi christian community which, in his words, was pushed to the brink of extinction by the american invasion.
Didn't you support that invasion from the beginning Matt, you grovelling motherfucker? Didn't you write articles supporting it? Didn't you scold anti war protestors then?
Man, I shouldn't get too worked up in the morning
Maybe one of those more important humanitarian issues is making sure that there are one billion humans living in
?
How do you know they don't care about other things, Matt? Maybe they are responding so passionately because it's happening right fucking now and they just saw a pile of dead children in a video? Maybe that has some kind of radicalizing effect? If you're so concerned about other plights unplug your router and rattle some off for me. No cheating with Google. How about your ass tells me what the kids should be caring about. Terminally lib brained fuck.
This made me go look up the Kohlberg stages and made me think that yes Heinz was correct to steal the drug from that price-gouging chemist and I hope he really fucked up his chemist's shop ransacking the place to find it and the chemist has a fucking heart attack right after writing down the formula
One of the best-known of Kohlberg’s (1958) stories concerns a man called Heinz who lived somewhere in Europe.
Heinz’s wife was dying from a particular type of cancer. Doctors said a new drug might save her. The drug had been discovered by a local chemist, and the Heinz tried desperately to buy some, but the chemist was charging ten times the money it cost to make the drug, and this was much more than the Heinz could afford. Heinz could only raise half the money, even after help from family and friends. He explained to the chemist that his wife was dying and asked if he could have the drug cheaper or pay the rest of the money later. The chemist refused, saying that he had discovered the drug and was going to make money from it. The husband was desperate to save his wife, so later that night he broke into the chemist’s and stole the drug. Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?Bourgeois chemist scum
obviously theft is permitted if it is for the preservation of life that's a no brainer
But what about the chemist's right to a profit? Why do you hate free enterprise and small businesses?
to answer that seriously the chemist forfitted that right when upon being approached on a human level with the story of the mans need he didn't honour his duty to care for his fellow man. And by breaking the social code so severely he gave up it's protection
You'd be shocked how many apparent zombies there are running around with no brain.
So what is it that makes it sus? You gonna start peddling the digital fentanyl are turning the kids pro-palestine Matty? Or are you going with the old reliable "the left is antisemitic"? Because you're not adding any conclusion here.
"Do white people in America REALLY are against dead brown foreigners?? That's sus."
t. Some round motherfucker
He isn't just implying that caring about causes is suspicious (well, not entirely), he is saying that caring about this specific cause this much is suspicious.
What is he suspecting lies behind it though? China, Russia or Antisemitism seem to be the most likely answers as he is a turbolib who doesn't understand why having your countrys leadership full throatedly endorsing an ongoing genocide that they're instrumental in perpetuating is a cause of outrage.
Taking into account his second tweet ("I took it very seriously, but it would be weird if some average college student was obsessed with this."), I do think he's implying that caring for any cause outside the US is weird at least (expect for professionals like himself of course)
But I also think it's all bad faith to shift focus from the current events from a natsec worshipping, PMC shitlib as he would clearly have remembered the protests against the Iraq war by a big section of the american public
How the fuck are people like this able to function in everyday life? Does he have any friends? Family? Who would willingly be around someone who is so emotionally undeveloped he can't understand the concept of empathy?
he literally has no concept of how to actually feel emotions. if you told this dude your dad died rather than showing any empathy i garuantee the most he could muster up is "it makes sense you'd be sad your dad died"
There’s this neat piece of functionality to the human brain where it can develop opinions and act on them via accounts of others experiences
