if you have feelings about a team choosing not to spend their holiday playing a football game that means nothing, reconsider your priorities imo

Yes, take the side of the network and conference raping the sport for profit

Man, Palestinians really just aren’t full human beings in your world-view, huh?

Everyone hates the current ruling parties in France, Germany, and the UK. Also, the then- ruling parties lost elections in the UK and Germany within the past year

Oh, I don’t disagree about the accuracy in this instance. But the ADL is itself a hate group and should not be cited

The ADL thinks free palestine is hate speech but elon hitler-saluting is just nerves. They are not a good source for anything! They lie about stuff *you* care about Will!

Well the person I’m replying to supports this, and i’ve been blocked by 8 people for asking why the country in his bio is murdering children, and why he won’t condemn that.

Actually, I asked you to speak to Israel’s intentional slaughter of children, which I’m still waiting on. There’s plenty of evidence that they’re doing this on purpose. What Hamas did on October 7th doesnt change the human rights of Palestinians, or the standards of what a genocide is

Kind of hard to write this off as an ordinary war. It’s internationally recognized as a genocide, including by the UN and Amnesty International. Any other fringe beliefs you’d like to share?

I asked you first :)

How does sniping children in the head fight Hamas? How does hunting people for sport at aid sites fight Hamas? Do you support bombing hospitals, schools, and refugee camps? Do you condemn Israel?

Well, Israel is the one murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian children. That might be why you’re seeing some negativity

, which ought to pale in importance to the feelings of his millions of victims, and their families

Yes, you're right about that, poor phrasing. I think you're oscillating between a sort of hard-nosed revolutionary "realism" about the purges (which actually made the Soviet Union weaker in the short-term, and discredited communism for many in the long-term) and an appeal to Stalin's feelings

The Allies plotting to invade in 1918 is why they had to torture Shostakovich, and murder Anna Akhmatova and Isaac Babel in the 1930s? The purges were horrible, nothing can justify them— they were not directed precisely against capitalists or fascists
