Hardy har, i would applaud you but I used proper grammar, so no low hanging fruit for you.

I have a feeling that sometime in August we’re going to see officers (police or federal) on horseback armed with sticks and riding down protestors.

Three days ago: CIO decided we should have cameras on and mics unmuted during zoom meetings per request of the big boss himself

Today: three people were chastised for constant background noise, myself included. Sorry your AC unit sounds like a train in my corner of the office. Evidently for years now. Sorry some of my coworkers have young children.

I want to wear a mask the entire time and sit in front of a window whenever possible, out of malicious compliance. IT meetings last like 10 minutes tops and always have people, such as myself, that have nothing to contribute. I always unmute and answer immediately when addressed so they already know I'm there and paying attention.

Feck these meetings, the stupid virus needs to go away so we can stop having stupid meetings over stupid Zoom

We can comprehend it, it's just that the best comparisons are to brain injuries/diseases and cognitive problems like Dunning-Kruger.

When one descends from the excrements of the corporate leadership, it is inevitable that they cannot comprehend the minds of the other 99%.

I have general confusion in why people think anti Zionism is Anti Semitic bashing against the Jewish people. Is taking a deeper look in the actions of a government which orders annexation of land which brutally kills people the same as standing with the disgusting vulgar white Supremacist groups which want these people killed? Jewish aren’t monsters by any means but the government of Israel’s actions are questionable and deserve a spotlight

Segentova and Dragao do mar

Because Israel is seen as and is pretty much synonymous with being the state of and for Jewish people in the middle east so if you're against it you're against them. Is that correct? Not necessarily, but that's waaaaaaaaayyyy beyond me to break down

This has been a problem for the British Labour Party who constantly face accusations of antisemitism for criticising the Israeli state (although have been genuine incidents of weird conspiracists in the party most are pretty quickly expelled). These accusations come from the right-wing press which is ironic considering how xenophobic and islamophobic they usually are.
Its weird that Israel is the only country where criticism of the government is seen as equivalent of criticism of its "diaspora". No one will call you sinophobic for criticising the chinese government.

New Totzka is back! :D

Right-wing politics and hypocrisy. Name a more iconic duo

I'm not saying it's right, but I'm pretty sure that's the reasoning behind it. And that's not necessarily true; There are a lot of people who think criticizing the Chinese government (and I definitely think they're worse than Israel's, but that's another topic) means you hate the Chinese people

Which is insane people's logic. Sorry Russians, Americans and my fellow Brits but I disagree with your governments and therefore I hate all of you.
