Being angry at voters and calling them idiots over choices the democratic party made doesn’t help defeat trump.

Anyone not voting for Biden because of Gaza is a fucking idiot.

The democracts insist on maintaining this position despite the mountain of evidence that it’s driving down turn out in their base, and does not represent the wishes of the electorate.

Why is it that voters have to swallow genocide, and not that democrats have to stop perpetuating electorally unpopular genocide?

Of course trump will be worse and i’ll be holding my nose and voting for biden but it makes no sense to blame voters for the inevitable and foreseeable consequences of the imperial cowardice of the democratic party.

How’s that normal?

Because English is an important international language. It’s the most spoken second language - the language most spoken by bilingual people.

In some places it’s tied in with status - a lot of universities regularly use English titles on non English language content, for example.

It helps a bilingual audience find videos in both English and their native language with the same search.

And I bet it helps with SEO which probably means that an English title can increase your income.

The incredibly inconsiderate inconvenience of having to click the next video?

I’ve run into this issue a lot while looking into Indian history and archaeology and it has never bothered me in the slightest.

Why do some people seem so offended by briefly hearing a language they don’t understand? You clicked a video that turned out to not be what you wanted. That’s gonna happen.

Being murderous and full on genocidal are two different things.

Yep! But committing genocide almost always requires murder so it’s appropriate to use either term when describing countries.

no clue, or sources to back it up

I’m still not sure what you want a source for? That countries commit genocide? I mean the news and also every history book is the source for that. I was born in Australia, we genocided countless indigenous nations. I live in the US, ditto. North and south of me are Canada and Mexico. Ditto. Destroying other peoples has been one of the main reasons to have a state. We have so many monuments from early states glorifying their genocides.

Regurgitating shit… just because you feel like it …isn’t the flex

I’m still not clear what you think it is I’m saying.

To be clear, my point was that as brutal and horrific as Israel’s actions are, it doesn’t make sense to shun every individual citizen of that country.

You often hear people say that all countries are brutal genocidal death machines when they are trying to defend their country? Being a brutal genocidal death machine is not a defense, it’s a damning indictment of how flawed a country is.

I’m not clear on what you wanted a source for. That countries are murderous?

Yeah that works for me but it feels like a shift in position from shun residents of this one country to abolish all countries.

I’m in favor of the latter which for me makes the former seem pointless and arbitrary.

If we’re burning passports and refusing to talk to anyone whose country has committed brutal genocide it’s going to be very lonely and smokey in every country.
