Nuance is for those that don't have the unbridled truth that is poorly researched memes and knee-jerk reactions.

Honestly that's not the reason. What changed was a new wave of people not buying their "Israel can do no wrong" BS and are going with the tide. The news isn't interested in "the truth", but in having an audience. They are corporations first and journalists a distant second. I know it sounds like I'm gonna go off on a weird fake news right wing tangent but honestly, why else are they so slow on the uptake? The evidence of Isreal ethnostate oppression and brutality over Gaza has been nakedly obvious for a long time now.

Uhhhhh. Yes it is? My niece was going over all of that around 3rd grade. And that's about the same time I did, this was all in the PNW. I think your school district just had some major omissions.

And that's the really insidious part. The teacher is too ignorant of what she is ignorant of. If Harriet Tubman "might be too woke" then how would this women teach the nuance of protests? Of sit ins? Letters from a Birmingham jail? Much less modern protests. Her daughter is going to grow confidently saying things like

"I know all about black history, just not the woke stuff."

And not even understand the tragic irony.

OK, my daughter loves Harriet Tubman. Tell me what you got!” she says. I explain our product, how we use historical women to teach girls about their worth and potential. The mother says: “But is it woke? I mean, I don’t want to teach my daughter about woke.”

And these people feel qualified to teach history.

“It’s like mopping up the spill when the spigot is still on. We can’t clean up our way out of plastic pollution.”

We need to fix the underlying problems before cleanup even makes sense to attempt. The biggest one being is single use plastics and the inability to recycle, practically speaking most plastic can't be recycled. But since corporations only care for profit and producing clamshell containers is efficient from their PoV, there isn't a way to change without government intervention.

Which, lol, we all know isn't happening.

Yeeeeah, I'm gonna assume weird blanket statements like that come from frustration at the snail pace of any real repercussions for Trump instead of actual nuanced legal critism.

Don't worry. Hell be fined $1.37 for it.

Genocide.

There is no excuse for this. Don't you dare try and find one.

[–] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I think this the far more likely answer. Gaza has been subjected for decades, but the world turned on a dime in horror at Ukraine.

[–] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 37 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I remember how horrified reactions were to Russia doing this to Ukraine families trying to escape. I was one of them. I'm agahast that for some reason, genocide apologists will defend Isreals use of tanks against civilians who don't even have water food or electricity. Against a population that has been repeadtly bombed and fenced in.

But I'm also beyond confused on why my country, the US, sends aid to Ukraine AND Isreal.

And after the Jan 6th dorks thought Trump would pay their legal fees. Would somehow get them pardons. But here we are with more "patriots" deciding they also would like to go to jail.
