re: iron dome discourse. im not even gonna bother with the "israelis are human beings and its bad when human beings die" argument cause i know thats in one ear and out the other to you demons, so instead i will simply point out the obvious: what part of the entire history of i/p has led you to believe that MORE dead israelis will make israel LESS violent towards palestine and palestinians? do you not remember what preceded this most recent slaughter in gaza? do you not have a memory, a reference point here. sorry but people are right when they say the left just fully memory holed 10/7 cause that is the ONLY way "defunding the iron dome will make israel come to the negotiating table" has even a single shred of logic to it.

i havent watched the Uglies movie so maybe it IS bad (and i read the books in middle school so maybe they WERE bad and i just didn't realize it at the time) but the premise absolutely slaps and idk why people are pretending not to understand it. it's straightforward. this is not difficult commentary to discern. i understood it fine at 13 but full grown youtubers and other internet commentariat are acting as if it's gone over their heads somehow. like what i mean is, for example: people keep saying "but the uglies aren't even ugly!" and like, yes, you're correct. that is the point. the Ugly characters see themselves as hideous deformed monsters because of the society they live in but the audience isn't supposed to agree with them. you're SUPPOSED to see the discrepancy btwn how the characters see themselves vs how they objectively look. they put that there intentionally! but people keep pointing it out as if it's a like, a flaw in...

ykw is funny is how misogynistic homophobes in the 2010s were always like "haha justin bieber is gay" in part bc they thought it would be funny to like teach those horny teenage girls a lesson, if bieber turned out gay, then they would know not to have crushes anymore anyways only for one direction to arrive a couple years later and just blow that theory out of the water. harry wasn't even not labeling his sexuality yet and fangirls were fabricating gayness for them. the only reason this didnt happen with the jonas brothers (as much) is bc they were brothers, if they weren't related (or being realistic even if they were just like cousins) joe/nick would've been on. if justin bieber had come out as gay the fangirls would not have been devastated into never having crushes again. they would've celebrated like nobody's ever celebrated. a whole generation of fujoshi would've been unlocked. i dont fault justin bieber for being straight, its ...

new genre of guy (gn) discovered: a doomsday prepper blog who thinks the government is going to destroy society but will respect their dni. literally like "dni: racists, sexists, homophobes, government agents, FBI, CIA." dnis are always stupid but this one is so dumb it's actually kind of charming. Like an FBI agent was gonna spy on them but was like "ohhhhhh they have us in the dni....ohhh no....they--they didn't train me for this...."
