Mia Khalifa fired from Playboy for her pro-Hamas posts after the Israel attack

Reply in thread

Not true. They post hate speech from right wing politicians verbatim all the time.

As for the tweets being somewhere else, it seems that it's this:

Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal

To the inattentive and/or wilfully misinterpreting, that might come off as an endorsement of Hamas as "freedom fighters", but note that she doesn't mention Hamas by name and that Hamas aren't usually the ones filming any of their atrocities.

Add her clarification from a few days later and it's clear she's talking about regular people filming the atrocities of the Israeli oppressors and isn't referring to terrorism at all, unless you define it broadly enough to include the Israeli state terrorism:

I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is [inciting] spread of violence," she said. "I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are... fighting for freedom every day

As I suspected, she didn't do what they said she did. She just had the temerity to speak up against the apartheid regime.

Recursive authentication

Fun fact: when my country transitioned to a new public authentication app, the default way was to use your passport to register. My passport was expired, though, so I had to show up in person with my birth certificate and social security card equivalent.

To get my birth certificate, I had to show up at the local office with, you guessed it, my passport.

Lucky for me that they accepted it in spite of being expired (none of the pertinent information such as my face, name and birth date had expired, after all), or I would probably be trapped in the loop to this day, years later.

Why, you ask?

Because the system is corrupt by design. Politicians rely on legal bribes to stay in power and enrich themselves and the people and corporations who oppose treating workers fairly are the ones with the deepest pockets.

Should Climate Protesters Be Less Annoying?

If you're not disrupting anything, your protest will invariably be ignored.

The "I support the right to protest as long as it doesn't inconvenience anyone" reeks of a "negative peace" ploy to stifle dissent while appearing to be reasonable in the eyes of other Enlightened Centrist hypocrites.
