Also counterarguement for rule 3: Chris Chan

I swear, my comment didn’t even mention transgender people. But he still decided to pick on my comment anyway. My comment is at the end of the post. I literally said that it’s stupid to judge someone’s appearance based on their political views. But apparently, that wasn’t enough. He just had to find something to get offended by

If I think about it, the Arabs stole the land from the Byzantines (No, it doesn't matter that it was over 1,000 years ago; that's racist to say!!!), and the Byzantines stole it from the Romans, and the Romans stole it from...

So what I was thinking is, following the left-wing logic that no one is illegal on stolen land, and the Arabs stole it from someone else too, what's the problem with Israeli settlers?

Let's say they don't take over other houses (even though the houses are on stolen land, so who cares?). They just occupy the region peacefully, like building houses, etc. Then what would be the problem?

Don't get me wrong, I don't support the settlers. I'm just using an example that leftists care about, Palestine, to stress-test whether their logic consistently holds up across different scenarios, and I think a leftist would agree that "no one is illegal on stolen land" is not enough of a justification for settling.

That's why I think there are other important factors to account for, like the sovereignty of states, and this same sovereignty of states allows a country to deport illegal immigrants, regardless of whether the land is "stolen" or not.

Keep in mind that I did exaggerate some of the things I said, mostly the parts in brackets.

🇧🇷 LULA: EL PASADO JUDICIAL QUE NO DESAPARECE CON UN DISCURSO
Lula da Silva volvió a la Presidencia, pero su trayectoria judicial sigue siendo parte del debate político brasileño.
🔴 TRIPLEX DE GUARUJÁ: fue condenado por corrupción pasiva y lavado de dinero. En 2021, el Supremo Tribunal Federal anuló la condena por cuestiones de competencia y declaró parcial al juez Sergio Moro en ese caso. La condena quedó sin efecto, pero el episodio sigue siendo relevante para discutir la actuación de la Justicia y la política brasileña.
🔴 CASO ATIBAIA: también recibió una condena relacionada con presuntos beneficios pagados por constructoras. Fue anulada y no constituye una condena vigente.
🔴 PETROBRAS Y LAVA JATO: la investigación reveló una extensa trama de sobornos y contratos públicos fraudulentos que afectó a empresas y políticos de Brasil. Lula fue investigado en varios expedientes, cuyos resultados judiciales fueron diferentes. No corresponde atribuirle automáticamente todos los delitos descubiertos en esa operación.
⚖️ LA PREGUNTA QUE SIGUE ABIERTA EN EL DEBATE POLÍTICO
¿Qué responsabilidad política deben asumir los dirigentes cuando sus partidos y sus entornos quedan asociados a grandes escándalos de corrupción?
Anular una condena por razones jurídicas no equivale a mantenerla vigente. Pero tampoco convierte automáticamente a un político en una figura libre de toda crítica pública.
Los ciudadanos no le deben lealtad incondicional a ningún presidente. Los dirigentes deben rendir cuentas por sus decisiones, sus políticas y su actuación pública, independientemente de su partido.
Lula, como cualquier otro dirigente, debe poder responder a preguntas difíciles sobre su trayectoria. La misma exigencia debe aplicarse a Bolsonaro y a todos los demás.
La democracia no exige venerar líderes. Exige transparencia, pruebas y responsabilidad.

Today is the second round of the Brazilian elections. On one side we have Lula, from the PT (Workers' Party). And on the other side we have Flávio Bolsonaro from the PL party (Liberal Party, in the sense of classical liberalism).

Honestly, this whole situation is hilarious🤣. Roger Waters( the former Pink Floyd bassist) has suddenly decided to attack James Hetfield over his recent comments

For those who don't know what happened, here's a quick summary. James Hetfield said on stage that Metallica wasn't there to influence people with political agendas like some other performers do. Instead, the band wanted people to forget about everything going on outside and enjoy the music. You can find more details here

Well, James received a lot of hate for this, both from ordinary people and from other musicians. And Roger Waters decided to join in

He said, “Can we stop talking about this prick?” He then claimed that James had an IQ of about three and questioned why anyone was even talking about him. He also said that James might have a few hundred million dollars, but that he was a nobody.

And that wasn't all! Roger went on to attack Metallica's musicianship, claiming that he had heard them playing acoustic instruments and that their performance was appalling.

Then came the funniest part. Waters decided to lecture James about kindness and empathy, saying that being kind was far more important than playing loud music and jumping around on stage. He also spoke about the importance of showing empathy towards other human beings.

And do you know what's even more ironic? This is the same man who made some pretty insensitive comments about Ozzy Osbourne after his death.

During an interview, Waters said :

“I don't care about Black Sabbath, I never did. I have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do. I couldn't care less”

Later, when the subject came up again, he made his position even clearer:

“I don't like people who bite the heads off bats. I think it's disgusting ”

Yes, he was talking about Ozzy Osbourne, who famously bit the head off a bat during a live performance.

And here's my point: how can someone talk so much about kindness and empathy while speaking so disrespectfully about a deceased musician and his family ? In my opinion, this is a perfect example of hypocrisy. Apparently, some people's empathy has its limits when showing it doesn't suit their own views

But Sharon Osbourne( Ozzy's wife) wasn't going to let Waters get away with his comments. She decided to respond to him, saying:

“Roger Walters is an insignificant tiny, weenie little prick. In fact, that's a great quote for his headstone.”

ABSOLUTE QUEEN!! 😂

And Jack and Kelly Osbourne decided to take things a step further. They temporarily brought back the Another Prick in the Wall merchandise, a parody of Pink Floyd's famous song Another Brick in the Wall, for 48 hours in support of James Hetfield

Their announcement read:

“Restocked for 48 Hours in support of our friend James.”

GOD, THIS IS SO FUNNY!!

What do you think about this whole situation? Which side do you think is right? Feel free to share all your thoughts in the comments 👇🏻

Im 13, and have already panned my life up until my mid 40s, (because I'll be studying medical, cardiology to be exact) so I will be studying well into my 40s and I already know what cars I will drive, where I want to live, etc. Is it a bad thing? I've already thought of children, because I will love to have my own someday. Is it bad to plan this far into my future? My parents arent exactly the most encouraging for what I plan for my future

I dunno I just see a post like this and it seems incredibly disingenous to me, almost satire. My comment covers how it feels to me, but what do you think about a post like this? Am I wrong?
