Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.
Explanation: While use of coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, it was the Arabs of the 15th century AD who discovered that it could be brewed into a drink. While I’m not a coffee drinker myself, both an appreciation for the historical importance of the drink and the fantastic smell makes me thankful for the discovery as well! Truly the world’s first step into modernity 🙏
My grandparents used to watch it. I think it had one (1) funny moment I saw in all the show’s run that I caught when living with them - when Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls up Bill Nye and says “I hear you’ve been talking shit about me”, and Nye immediately hangs up the phone in abject terror.
Entry was unlawful, but was granted a status similar to asylum, I think.

I should’ve double-checked the meme before reposting. I’ll edit it.
It is unfortunately common amongst certain segments of the Western left.
Would you like to explain to me how Turkiye has never genocided Kurds, whom they regard as “Mountain Turks”?
“But what if we compromised with them and our donors, and then compromised with the Republicans, and then put on our shocked pikachu face when the Republicans don’t compromise with us in turn???”
Legit, the second half of the problem is related to our gerontocracy. These fucking dinosaurs are still acting like it’s the 1970s and 1980s, when they first came to power.
I didn’t accuse you of ‘support of Russia’. I accused you of apologia for genocide in Ukraine - and considering that your entire screed here is about how ‘which side’ in the conflict doesn’t matter and ‘no war but class war’ (seemingly applicable when Ukrainians are being genocided, but not when Palestinians are being genocided), it would seem that, despite all of your bitching and bellyaching, I was absolutely correct in my reading. I guess you just don’t like it concisely stated?
Do you see how you just keep accusing me of positions I don’t hold?
You pretty openly characterized the Russo-Ukranian war as a conflict between ‘oligarch-run’ countries that shouldn’t be regarded as morally important, don’t really know why you’re trying so hard to deny it.
You don’t misunderstand what someone said, hear their position clarified, and then keep pretending your misunderstanding is “the truth”.
Okay. Feel free to clarify how your quote means something other than what I’ve asserted. All you’ve done is say ‘nuh-uh’ to the obvious and apparent reading of the quote.
Its not “a classic” when I literally tagged it with /s mate.
I literally outlined the whole thing, which included the /s. The sarcasm is key to understanding the response. Your subsequent denial of the position clearly outlined by that sarcasm is the classic denial by claiming “it’s just a joke”.
You are trying to force me into a position I don’t hold. I am in no way in favor of Russia invading Ukraine.
No, you ‘just’ think that genocide isn’t important if it’s between two ‘oligarch run’ states, and that the position of an organization on genocide is unimportant when deciding whether or not to join it to oppose fascism.
I’m sure you have the same opinion about Palestinian genocide. /s
Alright. I feel bad now. You just actually don’t understand how to read subtext and what is being implied through the use of sarcasm. Like that’s literally what I meant by “learning to read” and you just proved my point.
Ah, the classic “I was just joking bro” without any indication of a joke, or what the joke might actually be, other than that you really didn’t mean it.
That sentence literally says nothing about my opinions on Ukraine and Russias conflict.
Yeah when ICE is taking away my neighbors I always make sure to vet my resistance groups to make sure they have my same exact view on a conflict between two oligarch controlled nations. /s
Uh huh. Clearly not dismissing Ukrainian genocide as “a conflict between two oligarch controlled nations” and saying, through sarcasm, that the position of a resistance group on genocide is meaningless, and that opposition to genocide is a matter of having the ‘same exact view’. Obviously your statement meant nothing of substance, not unlike everything else you’ve said here.
I really think you should learn to read because I literally never said anything about it.
This you?

Was this what you were responding to?
Ah yes, “Palestinian genocide is bad but Ukrainian genocide is good”

Chewing the beans, I believe.
