What the fuck does any of that have to do with what I said? You seemed to be under the impression that the Houthis or Yemen in general weren’t already despised and under attack by both their closest neighbor and the most powerful military in the world. I corrected your misunderstanding. Don’t put (moronic) words in my mouth because you failed to do the absolute minimum research before commenting on something (again).

Have you not paid attention to their situation in the last decade at all? They’ve been bombed, starved to a famine and everything else that could be thought up with the help of Saudi Arabia and the US. If you think people have been “playing nice” with them so far you’re incredibly far off.

I missed this because I was too busy dancing to the news of Kissinger’s death, but amazing news! Big W for Panama and the protesters especially!

This realization somehow amazes and depresses me at the same time

You can’t point out hypocrisy without “whataboutism”. You could say it was an ad hominem, but not whataboutism, when the point is to show someone is a hypocrite.

It caused me to pay attention to Ireland’s news over the past few days which is how I’ve come to find that somebody just tried to hack an innocent stranger to death with a machete in Dublin yesterday. No riots or even protests though, so clearly you need a concerted effort to get that type of thing going and it’s not just people getting angry at the news.

Owners/ceos need to be held accountable so they actually care what is happening

This. Until someone with real power is actually held accountable for the shit they purposefully or passively allow, nothing will be done about it as long as long as it remains profitable.

Thank you for explaining it!

Sorry, what does that mean?

Oh you might be right about that. I didn’t read too carefully after I saw that babies were snatched. If they weren’t taken from any parents/caregivers it would matter a lot more how they were treated afterwards, but I still think the practice, even when it leads to better outcomes, is morally repugnant because it opens a very dangerous door to ever sign off on what essentially functions as human trafficking. Although it does make me slightly more relieved that at least they weren’t taken from their parents. Glad you caught that!

No matter how well or unwell intentioned, stealing babies from their parents to give to someone else has always been one of the most revolting crimes out there for me. Absolutely vile regardless of how the baby snatchers intend to treat the kid.

Something about calling them “rival Koreas” is kinda cute ngl

I think falsely claiming preschoolers have rooms for masturbation or anything sex-related is still a tad worse than falsely claiming they shit or pee weirdly. They serve the same goal of attacking public schools, but one still just seems more fucked up than the other.

Did you see the viral videos of the former state deparment guy who served under five presidents up until and including Obama? He went apeshit on some random middle eastern street food vendor calling him all sorts names, saying 4000 Palestinian dead kids wasn’t enough, and claiming that he’d send his picture to Egyptian authorities so they could “take care of” his family with a big smile on his face.

No idea why he let the mask drop in public now, but there is no way that his extreme convictions weren’t known to his colleagues all these years. I’m actually starting to understand why both the democrats and the republicans seem so oddly in tune with each other on this subject. That guy wasn’t a one-off lunatic, he was just the only one dumb enough to get himself filmed and put on the internet. Every time we get more information from what is being said behind the scenes it really shows.

For some reason I would have thought they already had it? But whatever you know how the old saying goes, better late than never.

No, he has a lot of domestic fans too. You can find a lot of them on the Argentinian sub on r*ddit. He resembles Trump in that way quite a bit.
