    “LGBT rights are colonialism”

    Yeah, about what I expected.

    PTB.

    The hilarious part is Saudi Arabia absolutely participates in and supports US imperialism, as well as engaging in some of their own with respect to Yemen.

    lol I just ate a ban too for pointing out an uncomfortable truth. PTB for sure. They’re equating George Floyd’s murder with state sanctioned public beheadings…

    Derek Chauvin is in jail for second degree murder. The officers that assisted him were also convicted of accessories to manslaughter. I’m also not going to bat for the police in the US because they by and large suck.

    Crazy how two things can be a problem at the same time, I know!

      Yours was the most innocuous lmao. Points out date “Believe it or not, straight to jail”.

        Yeah I did that on purpose; wanted to see if even stating a neutral fact was enough to get put in timeout.

        I think I agree with your point that the only reason justice was administered was the massive public outcry, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a bullshit comparison, imo.

    “We shall criticize your culture. You shall not criticize ours. Any questions?”

    (I’m just going to take it as a good assumption that if I look at your profile I will not see halfway down the page “OH BY THE WAY THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS GENOCIDE” or anything, that they are just making that part up.)

      Please, be my guest. I am firmly against the genocide Israel is commiting in Gaza and openly against the Nazi guy called Netanyahu.

      Also: fun fact: I’m not american, I’m European, from a region with a very strong Arab history. I despise my own country history of colonialism and love my Arab roots. But hey, talk about LGTB and you start offending people.

    arrest journalists

    Wait, didn’t the Saudis kill and chop a journalist into little pieces for criticizing MBS? I guess they didn’t technically arrest him, though.

    PTB. .ml should recruit Miqlāh* as an admin, he behaves exactly the same as them:

    • The rules being listed are not the rules you’re expected to follow.
    • Going out of his way to misinterpret what others say, while dishonestly putting words in their mouth.
    • “But what about…” all the time.
    • Unreasonably long bans that scream “ackshyually I didn’t permaban you!” from a distance.

    *inb4 this is a joke, don’t think too hard on it.

      There needs to be a community called “Rule 1” where everything anyone posts is removed. For authenticity, the mods will be mute and powerless and the admins of the hosting instance will do all the removals.

      Wait… never mind, I think I just re-created .ml.

    Yep, same mod who was being a PTB in c/Palestine a month or so back. So many people back then were defending him because ‘it was a sensitive topic for some’.
