Yup. When he did those nazi salutes I didn’t think ‘omg he’s secretly a nazi’, it was ‘omg that fucking 12-year-old edgelord cringe-factory is so fucking proud of himself for pulling that off.’

To be clear I do think he’s a nazi, just not because of that salute. Dude has some weird ideas about ‘spreading his seed’ and shit that I’ve only ever seen in fanatically religious communities and among white supremacists.

No, I have to assume he’s doing it on purpose and thinks he looks cool and fails to realize what a complete fucking moron he looks like.

I dunno what this article is about, all I see is that image of elongated muskrat being bad at wearing hats. :P

Respectfully, you clearly don’t know how I meant it.

I am biased against Israel because I do not judge it impartially. I tend to assume the worst about it (which I believe is justified through many years of reading about the awful, awful shit it does to people), in a decision about which side gets the benefit of the doubt in some matter I will never give it to Israel, and I am disinclined to believe pretty much anything it says, even after I filter out the propaganda.

If that’s not bias then apparently we’re using different dictionaries. Try this one.

Judging from the number of downvotes my comment got, I guess I am too now.

And yeah, I’ve been calling it a genocide for more than a year now, but even I know not to take such a biased source’s word without some corroborating reporting from elsewhere.

Everyone has biases

Yes, which is why I try to get my news from more than one source so that I can tell whether or not it’s just someone reading something into a thing that wasn’t actually there or if multiple people with different perspectives have seen the same thing.

You can avoid grossly misunderstanding the point of someone’s comment by reading the whole thing, too.

Did you not catch this part?

which, fair enough, that describes me too

I am also biased against Israel, for what I feel ought to be some pretty self-evident reasons. Reading comprehension in the replies to my comment has been surprisingly low.

Also can’t take anyone seriously who can’t read the comment they’re replying to.

I am also biased against Israel, for what I feel ought to be some pretty self-evident reasons, but a single highly biased source reporting something is not news.

Fortunately, they link to the original material.

Yeah, fair enough, I just wasn’t up for reading the ~50 page report myself to find out if what they said was true.

I’m not saying the bias is a problem in general, it’s just a problem for the trustworthiness of the reporting because they could be reading stuff into the source material that isn’t there.

If this is true then that’s great news. Unfortunately the article seems to have been written by someone who is very clearly biased against Israel and not ashamed of airing that dirty laundry in public (which, fair enough, that describes me too, but I wouldn’t trust me to write an unbiased article on the subject either) so I can’t take this single source’s word on it. I’ll definitely keep an ear out in case any more reporting gets done on it from elsewhere.

Edit: To the people downvoting and replying to this: please read past the ‘biased against Israel’ part - especially to the bit where I say that I am also biased against Israel - before assuming that I’m some pro-Israel shill here.
