  • with certain corners of the internet going after Headland, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community

    That’s some odd phrasing. Are they not allowed to say that someone is gay?

    It feels like they are trying to dog whistle something, but I’m not sure what. Or was all the criticism completely unrelated and they are trying to stretch a point?

    [Update]

    I have been educated that this is not an uncommon phrasing to use by someone who is gay.

    Presumably following the motto of a rising tide raises all the ships and they have expressed a preference for their success to be viewed as a success for everyone?

    TIL.








  • the only thing they built for the Palestinian people has been tunnels to commit terrorism from.

    I wasn’t the one who said that tunnels were the only thing they have done, that was literally you. But it’s also irrelevant because I wouldn’t expect any infrastructure works to be prioritised when a small country is under attack.

    When the IRA demanded their land back, we were allowed to agree with their cause of no occupation without saying that their tactics of bombing trains was a good thing.

    When the LTTE violently attacked Sri Lanka, people were allowed to feel for the ongoing Tamil persecution, without agreeing to the murdering.

    Why can’t I say that Hamas is a product of its environment, caused by the pain that Israel creates while also saying that the actions of Hamas are terrible.
