Time is on the side of the Russians in Ukraine and the Chinese on pretty much anything else when it comes to confronting the US empire.

But ever since the ceasefire in Lebanon and the fall of Assad I can’t help but feel that the Palestinian cause is getting worse every day. No one is lifting a finger for them except the Yemenis and it only seems that the Zionist fucks are getting closer to their objectives.

Civil war in “Israel” when? True Promise 3 when (lol)?

It doesn’t help that some of the loudest voices cheering for Assad’s fall where Palestinians and that sectarism is strong against Shia’s…

    You also entered this discussion misgendering one of our comrades. You don’t really have a civility/politeness leg to stand on, and you’re lucky you didn’t have your comments removed for that.

      I didn’t gender anyone in this discussion. I may have used colloquial figures of speech that are common here in Canada.

      In American English, “man” as an exclamation (“Man, that’s awesome!”) functions as a figure of speech primarily as an interjection or a vocative, similar to “dude” or “hey.” It’s used for emphasis, to express surprise, or to show agreement, without necessarily being directed at a specific person.

      In Canadian slang, “man” can refer to a male, but it’s also used in a broader sense, particularly in Toronto slang, where “mans” can be a plural pronoun, meaning “I,” “me,” “you,” or “we,”

      I wasn’t calling anyone a “man” in the same way that when I say “God, I’m hungry” I’m not calling you god.

      That being said, if my usage of “man” or “dude” bothers a person let me know and I will apologize and correct it.

      If Babs feels misgendered I would apologize to them but they didn’t signal they had any issue with it and you’ve been the only one offended on their behalf.

      If my use of a vocative was misunderstood, then I need to apologize to them, not you.
