Israel, the United States and Hamas are close to an agreement to free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza, in exchange for the first sustained pause in conflict in Gaza, according to people familiar with its provisions.
What Idea did I sell? That people who put quotes around a word to point out something is fake?
You’re the one selling the idea that Hamas is a bunch of tagged enemies in a video game quest that blares out “Mission success” when you kill enough people.
Hamas; like the Taliban, is an idea. Trying to put this flame out with indiscriminate violence is like fanning the coal in a kiln. Fanning with more intensity only going to strengthen the fire.
You and people who don’t get this are calling progressives fake. Whereas the reality is that Israel either doesn’t understand this, or they simply don’t care about collateral because Netanyahu just wants to empty the contents of his closet into the rubble created by the IDF in gaza when everyone is distracted. (I am holding out hope as apparently, bibi’s approval is down).
The only idea that any conservative of any religion is selling around the world right now is that Muslims are procreating faster than any other demographic and this is a cause for others to scrutinize and curtail this.
Be warned: Fear is one of the main things that causes men to commit atrocities.
Centrists found their equivalent of GWB apologists’ “terrorist sympathizer” and they’re gonna keep using it against progressives until it stops working.
You’re just projecting being decent on brainwashed youth who became terrorists. Hence you cannot find any thing resembling ideology in their behavior. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
“progressives” be like “I love China, and Russia, hate the US and NATO, I support Hamas, and I never vote Democrat because ‘I won’t choose the lesser of two evils’” then call us ‘libs’ on Lemmy like it’s an insult because we like Biden. 🤷♂️
I mean, I put quotations around progressives because the small subset of online self proclaimed progressives in places like Hexbear and lemmygrad are like the above.
For me a real progressive is someone like Biden who just got an agreed 5 day ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, kept other nations from escalating, and has a record of passing progressive legislation, especially as president. Also, for me, a “progressive” is someone like Jill Stein who has lunch with Putin, supports the Ukraine invasion, and only runs to get Republicans elected.
creates an aggregate of the most annoying people on the internet in the least charitable way possible and paints everyone left of center with it… wow I can’t believe these “progressives” these days.
You sound like a shithead by the way you put quote around progressives.
they said “hamas apologist” we we know for fact they’re an asshole
Just because someone calls themselves progressive doesn’t make them one. Sometimes they are just trying to sell bad ideas, like you are now.

FFS. Hamas are terrorist assholes who rape and murder in the most vile ways. They represent no one and especially no ideas.

Thanks for your analysis but I expect you wouldn’t know shit if you stepped in it.

Oh now I get what you mean. You and I, we don’t have the same definition of progressives: neither in scope, nor in stances.

Jill Stein doesn’t support the Ukraine invasion
she didn’t have lunch with Putin

I mean, it’s a pretty accurate aggregate of Hexbear and lemmygrad and they’re pretty popular.
