Dang It Bhabhi! posted:Screaming toddler drone attack helicopters is gonna sit with me for a good while. gently caress. Me. I don't know. I have no doubt that Israel is committing atrocities against civilians using armed drones, but adding "crying children to lure people out" sounds similar to a bunch of other wartime urban legends that spread among traumatized and frightened people. It's bad enough, it doesn't need the added sensationalism.

Anecdotal evidence is a kind of evidence: I knew a guy who was Army PsyOps back in the early aughts who gleefully described doing something quite similar while deployed overseas in what rapidly became the last time I ever spoke to him. That was in early '06. So, I'm not surprised by the potential existence of "screaming toddler murder-drones". I'm honestly amazed we're not at "irl half-life 2 manhacks" yet.

The IDF is still capable of unthinkable cruelty so this doesn’t particularly change anything.

I really hope that British guy made up the hand job story because I don't want to think about that poor woman having to deal with the kind of guy who put the details together and sought her out after reading that column.

Every now and then you do get a glimpse for how US and Twitter centric the hosts' view of the world is – "much of the world's attention is on Columbia University" is a mad claim. It's barely been a blip over here. UK news was focused on a bill passing that's going to put undocumented migrants on a plane to Africa, Netherlands on whether there will be a government any time soon. It makes sense, but it does make me laugh whenever Chapo tries to make claims about anything from a non-US perspective. Mesopotamia fucked around with this message at 09:30 on Apr 24, 2024 |

The interview was fine and not worth this debate. The only thing that stuck out was the activist saying that Columbia University expanding its campus in Manhattan is settler-colonialism and the same as what Israel is doing to Palestinians, like come on man, you don't need to shoehorn that poo poo in.

It was definitely an interview with a college student activist. Layers and layers of buzzwords and sociological terms to argue the case for something really obvious to anyone with a conscience.

Lol she called herself Latinx or something She's got the right idea and gentrification IS a form of colonialism. It's literally taking land that used to belong to minorities and giving it over to whites. Am I crazy or is that not obvious?
