The rules of the institutions that define our lives bend like reeds when it comes to Israel – so much that the whole global order is on the verge of collapse

Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

      Classic troll pulls their ripcord as soon as their interlocutor brings receipts.

      Thanks for doing that btw. SO many more people will read the actual sources in this thread and come to their conclusion instead of yours.

      Goodbye, my dude

      PS: I have literally never seen anyone complain about this before. Is this not normal internet English?

        You don’t know that “my dude” means “fuck you you piece of shit”? I mean, are you 12 years old? I was saying “my dude” as an insult in 1998. Grow up.

          I think you thought you offended some folks with an endearing phrase. My whole life I have heard it used and I’ve used it myself as a synonym of “friend” or otherwise respectable reference to someone. Quick online check agrees.

          Huh? Okay I’m not a native speaker so I’m not exactly an authority here but I’m 99.999% sure this is either a dialect, extremely local slang or something equally weird. Can someone confirm or deny this? A quick google didn’t turn out anything either.

      It’s over, but not before you were soundly and mostly politely trounced. Grasping on their using “my dude” as justification to duck out is the lamest cope I’ve seen in years.

        It’s just a back and forth that won’t end. And we both agree that Israel is genocidal assholes, so what’s the point of arguing the chicken and the egg anymore than we have, my dude.
