It’s only genocide if it happens in the genocide region of France, other wise it’s just sparkling mass murder
sparkling “defense against aggression”
It’s atrocity denial now.
I cant wait till we solve the issues in the middle east. Then we can move on to solving all the rest of the world’s problems.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Depends on the Department. I work in “Denying dinosaurs genocide by Martians” department.
Wow didn’t realize I was speaking with a Dinophobic Martionazi. Bold of you to just admit that but I guess being aligned with NASA would give anyone courage. Any other three-letter organizations that you’re astroturfing for, hmmmmmm?
OPP?
I’m down with it
Yeah, we know you!
I think I got the black lung, paw
He’s wearing the genocide equivalent of gang colors.
I was never really a big Ben Stiller fan but I have to admit, he made some really funny choices.
Watch Permanent Midnight if you want a serious role of his.
“This show sucks Jerry!”
I don’t really know much about him. What’s the lore?
That there’s more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking.
But why male models?
Could moisture be the essence of wetness?
Just a comedy actor. Not known for stand up or anything. Had some major block buster hits. Again, more cringe humor than anything else. I just think his choice to do zoolander is funny becuase its a dumb role and he pulled it off but forever will be the zoolander guy.
Ahh. Some other people in the thread made it sound like there was drama but sometimes I like when there isn’t drama.
I really enjoyed the Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I might need to still watch that one.
It’s certified awesome. Just in a really different way than Zoolander. Ben plays a maladaptive daydreamer in his 40’s finally learning how to live in the present and be a person
Can we get paid?
Ben Stiller is a genocide denier IRL. Pass it on.

I stand with the Israeli people and their right to live in peace and safety. At the same time, I don’t agree with all of the Israeli government’s choices on how they are conducting the war. I want the violence to end, and the innocent Palestinian people affected by the humanitarian crisis that has resulted to receive the lifesaving aid they need. And I know that many in Israel share this sentiment.
He wrote an essay for Time Magazine. It’s a short read but… Yeah even calling it a war is troubling, because Palestine doesn’t have a military? He says he feels for the innocent Palestinian people, but spends far more ink on bemoaning rising anti-semitism, and never really touches on the massive difference in body counts between the hamas terrorist attack and the genocide that isreal is currently engaged in. He also, of course, doesn’t call it a genocide.
It’s like his heart is almost in the right place, but he just can’t gather to courage to call a spade a spade. He calls the war in Ukraine a russian invasion, he calls the conflict in Lebanon a pogrom. Why can’t he bring himself to call what’s happening in Gaza the same? It’s literally an isreali invasion and a pogrom. He can’t just call for a two-state solution, say he feels for the innocent Palestinians, and wash his hands of the rest.
The r/jewish reddit thread on his essay is similarly obtuse. it’s from 2 years ago, but even then, it was clear as day to any outside observer what was happening. They’re so worried about the ghost of anti-semitism that they miss the fact they’ve become their own genocidal nightmare.
He’s extremely Jewish? Lol
I can’t back that up, no. Not really.
Most Jews I know are pro-palestine.
Don’t be a bigot.
That’s anecdotal. Polls of American Jews only show a marginal amount believe a genocide is happening while Israeli’s are even lower. So you’re anecdotal bias doesn’t mean you can call people a bigot over truth …
It’s very possible to be a bigot with statistics too.
For example, quoting a survey that says only 30% of Jews think isreal is committing a genocide, while leaving out the fact that 30% of ALL Americans feel that same way.
So their religion and culture is statistically irrelevant. And the fact that it’s being highlighted is the bigotry.
“A similar share, 30%, of Jewish adults say Israel has committed genocide, although about half, 49%, say it has not.”
Seems like your reading comprehension is poor. Am I still a bigot? Jews are as dumb and evil as your typical American scum
Jews are as dumb and evil as your typical American scum
That’s exactly what I’m saying, though I’m less of a dick apparently. They’re exactly the same as all other Americans. So pointing out their race is only to push some racist agenda.
Maybe I can help you connect the dots. See, I said all the Jews I know think it’s a genocide. Also, all the non Jews I know think it’s a genocide. I don’t surround myself with pro-genocide folks.
I used the same statistics as everyone else, and the same tactic as the bigot I replied to, but I put a positive spin instead of a negative one. And a bunch of y’all told on yourselves by getting mad.
Fuck… it’s a joke making fun of people who don’t realize that Israel ≠ all Jews
Get the stick out of your ass.
You need to work on your bit. A joke is funny if it is:
- Unexpected and
- You should have seen it coming
Up-front bigotry isn’t even a joke. Bigotry only seems like jokes when it’s the punch line, because stereotypes take the place of setup for a joke to establish something that you should have seen coming. They take the place of a callback to something said earlier or a reference to shared experience.
Jokes that rely on the situation of bigotry being expected are difficult and require much more effort or insight than “[identity] lol”. In other words: put your ass into your schtick.
The thing about jokes is that they are usually written in such a way as to be humorous or obviously satirical.
I know quite a few good Jewish comedians who could help you with your material.
I love the leftists that accuse liberals of denying Israel’s genocide in Gaza (which we don’t) while ignoring Russia genocide of Ukraine and China’s genocide of Uyghurs.
Most leftists aren’t tankies, thankyouverymuch.
But I agree they suck.
Leftists or tankies? Please specify who sucks.
Tankies. I think we can all agree tankies suck.
Very clearly tankies.
But I can see what causes confusion
You’d be surprised how many alt right accounts keep popping up on the Fediverse recently.
Surprised no, disappointed yes.
I don’t know what’s more bullshit, the fact that you think actual leftists (not Soviet diehards) deny any genocide, or that the majority of the establishment Democrats (liberals) are on the side of Israel.
no true scotsman
Do you just say words thinking you understand what they mean?
Establishment democrats are about three hundred people I’m talking about the eighty million people who vote liberal and who overwhelmingly are against Israel.
I’m not playing your no true scotsman game about ‘actual leftists’ because I see what leftist spaces look like.
Yes, the common man is more leftist than the current media / government. They don’t want colonialism, and they do want free healthcare, education, etc.
The people who are currently in seats are power are a problem, because they perpetuate this right leaning, corporate owned government, you fuckin canoe.
Why don’t you get mad at those three hundred people instead of shouting about how much you hate leftists?
No one hates a leftist like another leftist does.
Your absolutely right. Reading your comments I hate you. 😂
Oh I’m a liberal I can’t stand leftists.
My favorite part about dumbass liberals is that they know all the failings of capitalism, but still support it. Fucking morons.
And before you say it, no, I’m not a tankie and I don’t support Russia. A lot of liberals support Israel though.
A liberal that hates leftists? Shocker!
Who was accused in op’s meme?
What does that have to do with my comment?
israel is committing genocide against gaza.
russia is the aggressor, and ukraine are defending themsleves against an invasion
agree or disagree?
Russia is committing genocide against Ukraine.
Israel is committing genocide against Palestines.
China is committing genocide against Uyghurs.
Explain what the difference is if you disagree with that.
explain the difference
nope.
we are 100% in agreement. i fully, completely agree with your reply
Somehow you, as a self-proclaimed liberal, felt accused by leftists, and I was wondering how you got from op’s meme to liberals being accused.
You may want to re-read my comment.
Genocide of Ukraine? Is every war or invasion a genocide? You are definitely watering down the word.
Russia is kidnapping children and re-educating them, which is basically point 5 of article 2 on the definition from the convention on prevention of genocide.
That’s not watering down the term, that’s literally using the word to describe what they’re doing.
Thankfully Ukraine has prevented most of the genociding that Russia wants to do but in the beginning it was pretty bad. Also the amount of drones that hit residential buildings can be classified as an act of genocide.
Is Ukraine also genociding ethnic Russians?
Is Ukraine doing anything on the list of things that would make it a genocide? No, I didn’t think they were. Go suck putin chode somewhere else.
What do you think the Azov Nazis were up to in Donbass? Do you think that banning the Russian language (which is many Ukrainians’ first language) in Ukraine is a good idea?
What do you think the Azov Nazis were up to in Donbass?
They were fighting russian military.
Do you think that banning the Russian language (which is many Ukrainians’ first language) in Ukraine is a good idea?
It wasn’t banned.
Try reading something that’s not russian propaganda for a change.
https://www.dw.com/en/kyiv-imposes-ban-on-russian-language-culture/a-66301913
Both of these sources are well within the western propaganda sphere, so certain concessions are notable.
This is such a dumb thing to say.
Do you think racists don’t exist in Russia? Do you think Soviet Russia was only good guys ever? Do you think Russia today is only good guys?
Absolutely pathetic argument
You seem confused. I don’t think any of that, and I don’t see where I gave any indication that I did. I know that Russia and Ukraine are both full of racists. I’m annoyed by the fact that all these redditors have such a cartoon-level view of this conflict.
Avarage ml bruh
Critical of the vibes-based circlejerk?
