By now, yes. I remember getting into an argument shortly after Oct 7th because I already had an idea what was about to happen. I wonder what that person says now.
Tbf "We're having a nice dinner, do we have to talk about the horrors of the holocaust, again? Can we talk about something nice for a few minutes?" is a valid want.
Especially in a world inundated with 24/7 news cycles constantly feeding news to make people scared for ratings, and an internet consolidated into six fucking websites full of those scared people posting about those same things, and all art being made by those scared people so it also contains allusions to the same sentiment, sometimes you just want to talk about that cute thing your cat did earlier, what fun book you're reading, how cool salamanders are, whatever, and that's fine.
A few times Ive had to tell my other half "Can we talk about literally anything else for the next hour". I know what is going on because of the things you pointed out, and sometimes I want to exist for five minutes without hearing that the fbi is hiring puppy fuckers or whatever is happening today.
Meanwhile everyone else will just use vieled comments to punch down and instigate. But that’s fine because they’re “just telling it like it is”. Fuck that shit. Walk into every room decrying nazis and shame anyone who protests. It is impossible for things to be chill while fascist abound, they’ll make sure of it.
Lots of us have been, way, way before the governments of Europe were willing to say as much. Trump, and most of Congress, is still a bunch of complicit assholes. We're just not made out of cartoons.
Elvis married a 14 year old. Name your favorite rock band and I’ll find you a kiddiefucker. I’m not going to bring that up in every c/music thread.
There’s an argument that Muhammad married a few of his wives out of charity. That a misogyny driven culture such as pre Muslim Arabia just didn’t have options for some women.
Aisha also later turns out to be a pretty powerful figure in her own right.
Jerry Lee Lewis married his 12 year old cousin, there are no saints or angels upon this earth, only the ideas that permeate...not an excuse, just don't fuck with Elvis, man.../s
She runs a trained orca fighting ring, and forces orphans to pose for those giant aerial photos that spell out words in human bodies to advertise matches.
That's why she's awesome. She doesn't take any shit from anyone. She stands up for what she believes in the face of world politicians and Israeli pirates to do the right thing, and she doesn't care who she pisses off!
You know the difference between hitler and bibi the nazi? One of them did a good thing while he was in the bunker. Oh, right, he also had a moustache. I guess that makes 2 differences.
...i upvote you because you got the joke, answer GAZA, no matter what that fucker has done, he has obliterated a territory for gain...fuck all y'all downvoters
I'm guessing from the replies that your original comment was about how disgusting Muslims are because of Islam having a pedophile prophet, as this comment doesn't pop up in your modlog.
You haven't seen what the Hebrew Bible says about child war brides have you?

Her mistake was sitting at a table with anyone who would deign to disagree with that statement.
It's pretty chill that they said that
Yeah, seems chill to me.
I mean, its pretty common knowledge thats extremely agreeable, right?... Right?
Yes, and a pretty extreme case; but so are most recent U.S. presidents.
By now, yes. I remember getting into an argument shortly after Oct 7th because I already had an idea what was about to happen. I wonder what that person says now.
I mean... Obvious facts are pretty chill. The sky is blue at noon. Healthy grass is green. Genocide is happening in Gaza.
She's not just being chill she is being 100% accurate.
It's no different than going to a dinner and saying Adolf Hitler was a bad guy.

Guys come on, it's christmas. Even Hitler had a family...
I know, I just can't do anything about it. Would you please pass the butter?
...you already have, here's some salt.
she only speaks the truth
I am reminded of this banger of a song by They Might Be Giants:

I don't get it. All I see is someone being chill.
Now, I agree with her, but the cartoon falls flat.
"Thanks for telling me, but what am I supposed to do about it? I've got work in the morning and deadlines are getting tight."
Just being aware of it is farther than a lot of other people have gotten.

Seems pretty chill to me
That's a pretty chill thing to say if you're among chill people.
but then, if they were chill you wouldn't need to say it at all.
Sometimes you just want to express the truth.
Things can be both factually true and bad dinner conversation at the same time lol
I mean, they probably didn't say that out of the blue, right?
I have my reservations about the curly-haired one who expects friends to shut up in front of bigoted hosts.
I know it's because the artist is Muslim but I really wish non-Muslims were saying this.
They do, a lot actually.
I'm aware, just want more.
Benjamin Netanjahu is a war criminal

Nicholson meme: you can't handle the truth
...she's way chiller than I am...
still chill
Reminds me of the dinner party with Storm and the glances from the protag's wife.
If that's being said out of the blue it's not remotely chill
Is this hot or not anymore?

Keen, I love these games! Chumbawumba.
How about instead of excusing both, they’re both fucked up
who was good enough? name a person and I'll shatter your dreams of their message, too
Greta Thunberg!
She runs a trained orca fighting ring, and forces orphans to pose for those giant aerial photos that spell out words in human bodies to advertise matches.
...she can be really abrasive as a person...ha!
That's why she's awesome. She doesn't take any shit from anyone. She stands up for what she believes in the face of world politicians and Israeli pirates to do the right thing, and she doesn't care who she pisses off!
And Hitler served in WW1. What's your point
...you missed the joke, but got a right answer...
I don't think the person was joking
You're bad at trolling.
Who?
You are being a Silly Billy. Netanyahu is not good people.
You know the difference between hitler and bibi the nazi? One of them did a good thing while he was in the bunker. Oh, right, he also had a moustache. I guess that makes 2 differences.
...again, I upvote you cause you got the joke, but he also loves Donald Trump...
