Magician David Copperfield Accused of Grooming, Groping, and Drugging Women ( www.rollingstone.com )

Magician David Copperfield is facing allegations of drugging women before sexual encounters, groping women during live performances, and behaving inappropriately with women who were significantly younger than him — including under 18 — in a new investigative piece in The Guardian....

Don't they know this man is literally unjailable?

I think it depends on how people/voters see the particular conflict. When Bush jr put a genocide on the Taliban, he had a lot of support. When Obama put one on ISIS, he had a lot of support. When Biden stopped US support for genocides in Yemen or Rwanda, voters didn't really seem to care one way or another.

Also: vote in primaries

Didn't you say you were going to vote for Cornel West? What are his thoughts on the genocide of Native Americans and whether the land should be returned to them?

nonailsleft ,

Of course it's part of a democracy. But the point everyone's making is that it's a very dumb thing to do because it's likely to reduce your democratic power in the future.

“just tear things down”

I read that before, prolly from one of the gradbears or something, on how they didn't mind Trump winning and going full authoritarian, because that was a chance to "hit the reset button". Now, even with my best will I can read that as 'revolution + new constitution' but I cannot imagine how these people think that shit is going to go down in the USA today.

I'm so very sorry, of course I meant the Rwanda supported genocide in Eastern Congo. Can you explain on why you see this as 'bad faith'?

nonailsleft ,

Bringing justice to those that were genocided would entail ending the occupation, returning all stolen land to their ancestors, and probably transferring all assets to them. Not some half-assed "I'll strive to create an office to ease the pain"

nonailsleft ,

That largely depends on how you ask the question. Based on this article:

Support a ceasefire? 64vs13%

Support a unilateral ceasefire (as in: what's effectively what's being asked for Biden to threaten to pull support for today)? 28vs44%

I'm sure if you as who supports 'peace in the Middle East' you'll get a large majority, but that decision isn't really on the table

nonailsleft ,

As I said: half assed

Retreat, return, repair. Anything less is just trying to excuse and continue to profit off the genocide

nonailsleft ,

I think it's weird you're downplaying these other genocides to defend taking a stronger position on Gaza

The Lancet estimates 2,5% of the Iraq population killed because of the US invasion between 2003-2006. They're nearing 1,5% in the Gaza strip (but it's slowing down). So I would think it's weird to say it's normal people are protesting the Gaza one so much while not really caring about the Iraq one, back in the day.

(Sorry I hope I'm somewhat exagerating but I also hope you see my point)

US-backed forces succeed in making Raqqa 80 percent “uninhabitable”

Do you think they were sending in food trucks while they were bombing anyone trying to flee the city?

nonailsleft ,

So, if I look at your whataboutism argument

Why would you want to include every single death in Gaza and then coldly say 450.000 excess deaths (read that number again) in Iraq 'don't really count'?

nonailsleft ,

I've linked you an article where you can learn about the US military 'shooting every boat they saw crossing the river'. I can imagine you haven't really heard about the details of the siege of Raqqa because, well, most people didn't want to know. There's a lot you can find though, same goes for sieges like Mosul or Fallujah: a final siege against a dug in enemy is never going to be pretty. White phosporous, thermobaric weapons, ... War crimes. It's either that or a lot more casualties for the attackers.

And regarding your final paragraph: Israel is encouraging massive evacuation of civilians as well. It's not like they're not letting anyone out of Rafah, it's just that Egypt is not letting any refugees through (unless they pay) which results in them running around in circles. But rest assured that they would not have let Raqqa 'of the hook' if those civilians hadn't left

nonailsleft ,

Can you cite a source that they're not allowing them to leave Gaza?

nonailsleft ,

into Israel

Are they preventing them from fleeing elsewhere?

nonailsleft ,

Gaza only borders Israel?

nonailsleft ,

Do you think the Egyptians are putting a genocide on Gazans by keeping them trapped in a war zone?

nonailsleft ,

Do you think them keeping their border shut is relevant to Gazans wanting to escape?

nonailsleft ,

Do you think it's secretly disguised mossad agents masquerading as Egyptian officials when they say they don't want to let in Gazan refugees?

That would certainly be an interesting twist

nonailsleft ,

No it's not. They could have learned a ton from this probably fatal experiment

nonailsleft ,

Zionists buy shoes too

He also ended support for the genocides in Yemen, which had already claimed a whopping 380k lives under Obama and Trump

nonailsleft ,

Motherf+cker. I know rl people like this

nonailsleft ,

There are things a lot closer to the holocaust happening in other parts of the world, it's weird that so much people suddenly want to act on Gaza

nonailsleft ,

Don't forget India

nonailsleft ,

You're arguing with tankies. They're known to love themselves some genocide when their leaders convince them it's necessary

nonailsleft ,

Are you suggesting these Ukrainians on the front line begging for ammo are getting rich off of this somehow?

nonailsleft ,

Our grandfathers 'prolonged thingss for 'dolfie for five years, after which he blew his brains out. So yeah

nonailsleft ,

But then how are they gonna keep China out?

nonailsleft ,

I don't think this is ever irrelevant (regardless the question)

nonailsleft ,

If the popo suspect you killed your wife and find you sitting on top of a chest freezer refusing to come off, should they be allowed to force you?

It's the final phase of parenting

Israel's 'Where's Daddy?' AI system helps target suspected Hamas militants when they're at home with their families, report says ( www.businessinsider.com )

As civilian casualties continue to mount in the wartorn Gaza Strip, reports of Israel's use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its targeting of Hamas militants are facing increasing scrutiny. A report by the Israeli outlets +972 Magazine and Local Call earlier this month said that Israeli forces had relied heavily on two AI...

Mhhh. I feel like the above governments have something in common

I can't quite lay my finger on it

As soon as you start using your embassy to move weapons around... yeaaaahhhhh

Everyone knows White people are better swimmers

A White mayor would have swam right up to that puppy and sank it instead

Fucker and his 'leadership team' should step down

Not a woman myself but I think there's a difference between getting groped and what most people would think of with the term 'raped'

nonailsleft ,

(Spoiler)

If that means they take (in)action that lets Donnie win a second term, they don't

Thanks! "orange man bad /s" really takes me back to the days I was scrolling r/con for laughs

Congrats on making it to Lemmy

Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy ( www.kbtx.com )

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her....

nonailsleft ,

Well you're the one who claims she'll be 'in a better place' when she finally gets over the comfortable 9-5 grind and stabilises into the getting pounded for wads of cash during, hopefully, a more flexibele schedule

I don't see why we have to tip toe around the specifics

nonailsleft ,

If I were to improve my finances getting boinked on the reg by some juiced up dudes, I'm sure that won't be irrelevant to my wellbeing
