There aren't only three genocides happening. By the way. There's been at least ten ongoing. None of you cared about them until you could hate jews about it, though.

#i just. #if i see that ''theres TWO MORE genocides!!'' post one more time i might actually lose it. #like. absolutely none of you cared ab the congo. until it was convenient. #none of you STILL care about anything turkey does. ever. #or any country that does anything to kurds or armenians. #you cunts only care about israel bc it makes your antisemitism easy. bc you can be an edgelord ab the us government. #you dont care ab north korea or worse youre fine with it. #you dont care about pakistan or afghanistan or india or iraq or iran or #you dont care. none of you actually care. its all so performative. #im so sick of it. im so sick. #from the drafts #ive had enough. ive had fucking enough. #you NEED to know what youre talking about when you talk about something as serious as genocide. #is israel committing a genocide? yes absolutely. #does that mean its the only genocide or the ''one of three'' stat i keep seeing? no.

I really get and support conscientious objection to military service, but I think it's also worth reminding mainly Americans but definitely not only Americans that Israel's wars are not comparable to things like Vietnam (where dodging the draft was, obviously, the thing people like me would be supporting), and definitely not Iraq and Afghanistan or any other damn overseas conflict they grew up with. I get that you did not, and will likely never experience actual frequent attempts to invade and destroy your country and your people. That's good! I get why for you, military service seems morally indefensible. You wouldn't catch me calling you wrong, or a weak hearted liberal, or any other damn thing. You think the service itself is wrong, that serving an armed force in any capacity is wrong, and I really get that!

But Israeli troops - conscripts in compulsory service (which of course, they would go to jail for dodging) and reservists and NCOs and so on, aren't opting for overseas operations done purely for funsies and capitalism and fear of the USSR. You must recognize this false equivalency is very prevalent, even when your criticisms of the Israeli government and the IDF are very true and important. God knows I have a lot of criticism for both, jesus fucking christ do I. In the mind of every 18-year old dumbass kid, getting their first letter of conscription (which is again, compulsory and will be enforced with jailtime) - and also their parents, and their grandparents, is actual and real danger to their lives. Our neighbours invading with the real, publicly expressed intent of killing us, of demolishing our homes and driving us to the sea as a whole. This isn't a proxy war overseas, where they can just not go and be fine with it - there are actual people with guns and they're firing actual rockets aimed at your mom and everybody else you know. People with guns are breaching the fence with the express purpose of murdering you and your family. Not random Palestinians or other Arabs just trying to live their life - actual governments with actual armed forces, who use those armed forces to kill you. Hell, you probably know someone, either directly or one step removed, who violently died because of it. This was true since Israel's inception, and the staggering amount of times it happened is not something you can just solve with "well they shouldn't have done so and so!". Because yes, certainly, the Israeli government shouldn't have done a lot of things, and maybe you'll say those dastardly Zionists should have never wanted to come here, seeing how nice and safe and wanted they felt back home. But discussing what people shouldn't have done is very nice, especially when it doesn't personally affect you, especially when you never lived with the frequent and real danger of violent death - but I'd also suggest it doesn't really help anyone. Certainly the person currently launching a rocket aimed at my house shouldn't have opted to do that, and certainly the person who chose to pick up a gun and fire at me shouldn't have done so either, but I'd really prefer to talk about what we should do now - what the actual solution is for both Palestinian and Israeli parents to stop losing sons and daughters to violence every fucking year of their lives. Is that okay? Is that allowed? Or is it more effective to just say an 18 year old kid, commanded to pick up a gun and watch for someone coming over to kill their mom, which is a constant and real threat and has been for decades, is a mindless murder monster? That he's doing it for funsies and due to brainwashing only? My answer might surprise you.

#selfpost #i/p #I will never let go of people going on about Gal Gadot 'murdering Palestinian babies' since she served in the army #she was a fucking gym instructor what are you talking about #people reluctantly go do a thing they have to for 3 years and it's usually an office job and it often makes them a lot more anti-government #but no let's talk about how every single one is an irredeemable monster doing it for fun + mindless hatred #god bless people abroad I hope their life stays so easy and safe from organized violence

listen I am about as pro-abortion as anyone can be, but aborting a baby just because they have Down's Syndrome should be fucking illegal. If you're someone who actively wants and is trying for a child, then you should be mentally, financially, and emotionally willing to provide for that child for the rest of your life if something goes wrong- because that is what being a good parent takes, and many many things can go wrong. Down's Syndrome is not at all close to the worst thing that can happen to a baby, and people with it can grow up to be happy, healthy, content adults- they just need a little bit of extra help and a different approach to raising them. If you just want a 'normal' child so that you can boot them out of your house when they turn 18 and have them around to take care of you when you're older, then you don't actually want children, you want an investment. A doll, not a family member. Not a person.

#the only exception to this would be people who cannot financially provide the aid for a baby with downs syndrom #but even then the government should be giving you money for childcare anyways soooo #context for this: i am a genetics major in a genetics class studying nondisjunction (the thing that leads to down syndrome) #and boy oh boy are some of the opinions im experiencing while studying making me mad!!!! #just. idk i think the reason why i got diagnosed autistic so late was bc my mom did an incredible job accomidating me when little #bc she didn't care that i needed extra help all she cared about was that i was healthy and safe #bc i'm her child #i'm *family* #and that's what you do!! you fucking care for your family!! #(provided they aren't abusive) #this is why autism moms piss me off so much too bc they dont actually WANT children they want the popularized experience of children #they want it easy and they don't see their kids as people. they just learn that they need a little different or extra help #and then bitch about it for all eternally #maam your child isnt sick they dont need a cure they are a PERSON that is a HEALTHY HUMAN BEING WITHIN NORMAL VARIANCE VALUES #TREAT THEM LIKE ONE FOR FUCK'S SAKE

I love leon going papa bear on a bunch of cia agents over sherry <3 he needed to bring that energy back and whisk her outta there earlier LOL thats his daughter you assholes!!!!

they really just crushed his soul, man. I keep thinking about how completely and utterly Leon just gave the fuck up the second CIA threatened Sherry, and he never got his fight back.

he became a part of law enforcement because he truly believed in justice and fairness and equality -- that the good guys would always win, and the bad guys would always lose.

and then here comes Brian Irons to relieve him of that idea.

and then here comes Ada Wong to rub salt in the wound.

and then here comes the CIA to just coup-de-grace any lingering notion in his mind that there's any sort of justice in this world at all.

Sherry was Leon's reason for living. he consciously made the decision to not kill himself simply for her sake. and they took her from him.

after everything he'd already been through, they took Sherry from him. and suddenly the world felt like it was running on repeat, with only the worst parts coming back around again and again and again.

I'd probably give up, too.

#so know that i'm not like #blaming leon when i say he took the easy way out #i'm just stating a fact #that's one of leon's character flaws #and i'm glad he has flaws #characters without flaws are fucking boring #but what i will say is #idk how someone claims chris redfield as their best friend #and then DOESN'T end up punching a G-man in the face for sport at some point #like chris i'mma need you to get it the fuck together #and be the bad influence that we all know that you're capable of being #and convince leon to fight his way out of the government because fuck those pigs #what are you doin man #mr 'i got thrown out of the air force for fighting' #suddenly can't make a compelling enough case for leon to kidnap his own daughter away from CIA custody come the fuck ON man

some folks really need to learn to just. not engage.

it’s almost never worth it to argue with someone online. if they’re being genuine, arguing/debating often sets people further into their beliefs as they defend it (particularly if there’s some sort of group identity there, think cults, hate groups, etc). if not, you’re giving them what they want; you’re spending your time and energy on interacting with them, they’ve made you upset, and you’re going to be fuming and thinking about them a lot longer than they’ll think about you (to invoke the ancient texts: Don’t Feed The Troll).

and it d e f i n i t e l y is never worth sending people death threats and calling them slurs and telling them to kill themselves???  in many a case, the same rule as above applies: don’t feed the troll. in the case of people in hate groups/cults/etc, or getting into them, it drives them further into that group because they feel safe, they validate their feelings, they say “look how the rest of the world treats us.” and in the case of people disagreeing with you/posting things you disagree with about fucking media?? take a deep fucking breath, count to ten, and walk away from your computer. real people take precedence over fiction. over shows, games, books, comics, music, whatever. if it makes you mad enough to want to do this, just fucking block them and move on.

block freely and liberally. delete comments. mute people. blacklist tags. unfollow people who regularly post/reblog/retweet content that you don’t want to see.

the world has enough problems, enough things to be sad or angry about. enough things that need energy and passion and action to improve. try  engaging there.

#if you do have the time and energy and actual fact checked knowledge sometimes it's worth it to do quick corrections #like explaining why cats shouldn't be outside unsupervised or what a misused term means #but yeah man just. there's so much. there's so much and there's no fucking reason to be spending your free time staring at shit #that just serves to make you upset. #and if this wasn't obvious i'm not saying avoid all conflict or never read the news or avoid educating yourself on difficult topics #just that telling people to kill themselves bc they criticized your blorbo or whatever the fuck is unnaceptable #and unfollowing/blocking/muting is easy and free and a better use of your time than trying to debate/insult everyone you disagree with #if you're that upset do something useful. volunteer. educate yourself. educate friends and family. call your government #join a union. whatever. saying 'kys' to a terf does NOTHING for trans people. yelling slurs at someone for not liking a disabled character #does NOTHING for actual disabled people #etc etc etc. i get that taking out your rage on someone can feel like control. but it just isn't fucking helping anyone

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).

#hbomberguy #james somerton #plagarism #EDIT: it was introduced to *the americas* NOT the US in (probably) 1727 #THANK YOU anon ask person!!! #the US didn’t exist in 1727
