And if they are all “war criminals” then why would you support one over the other? I don’t get this conversation.

They ARE ALL war criminals. Exactly, why would you support any of them? I don't understand your dilemma.

Something like that. I bet all those Hollywood brainwashed NPCs think this is funny, like they're watching an action movie. I'm afraid to read comments on the mainstream outlets because I will probably vomit.

Isn't that capitalism in its core?

This is the most childish thing I ever saw online.

You should always be looking at these websites with a critical eye.

In my defense, I was at work and did a quick search of the brand. 😅

I saw someone commented with some extra info on Uyghurs, China and other side of the story, so I will check it out.

I found this https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-anta-sports-to-stop-making-money-from-uyghur-slave-labor, so I assumed it's true. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, cool! Tnx!

Edit: Not cool. China is exploiting Uyghurs for this. So, off the list.

It doesn't have to be major. I have one sneakers, Miret, they're eco, ethical and awesome, but they're not sports type of sneakers and I need sport sneakers.

your link is giving me strong AI hallucination vibes.

Or some weir parallel universe shit, I know.

Seems like Adidas caved and might be ok at least as far as major sneaker brands go (obviously they are all unethical in many other ways).

Fuck Adidas.

Eventually, they'll all be "pro-Palestine" and still use cheap slavery labor.

Smart people don't go looking for fights online.

I feel called out.

Banon. That's why there are so many bans across the platforms.

And what do French citizens say about this? 💅

Call me naive, but luckily, UN aren't Zionists.

What scares me is how will starved kids and people handle the vaccine. I said to my Gazans to take it, but now I'm not so sure if it's a good idea. I asked them if they got food, they said they did. But still...

I don't understand why don't UN Forces go and stay in Gaza. UN in general are stalling this shit as much as Netanyahu and USA. Everything is possible when there's a will. UN Forces should have stepped in long time ago. Once more they proved they're worthless. Just like in Bosnia 25-30 years ago.

Waking up suffocating and my husband's stories on how I stop breathing during sleep for few seconds and then catch the air suffocating, but still sleeping. Grogling sounds of snoring. It's onomatopoeic, figure out what could this made up word mean. The sound is grogl grohghghll grghklgh.

but the word itself has roots in eugenics and exterminationist policies and Nazi shit

Argument enough for me to be mindful not to use it anymore.

But what I challenge you to do is not go around thinking "I can't use that word because I'm not supposed to" but instead think "I want to show solidarity with those people who want to make a name for themselves by not putting them down."

Well, that's the reason why I asked. I mean, when we learn why something is bad, when we learn the other perspective, then we try not to do/say it anymore because when something gains weight and you continue to do/say it anyways, then you're a prick. If I don't have understanding behind a rule, I can only imply it because I was told not to and I personally don't like that. I like to learn and be mindful of why I can't do or say something. In the end, if we don't do or say something because it's forbidden, it doesn't accomplish anything. Knowing why it's forbidden is how we eliminate those bad patterns of expressing and evolve as better people. At least I believe that.

Oh, f slur is here pretty common when you want to say that someone is a lousy person. Even my gay friends use it. I'm telling you, Balkans is a really wild place and growing up here as old millennial as well and now being social only online among different people and different generations, I've started to think about the way we use words. And yeah, my first reaction is "you don't get to tell me how to speak" until I realize that it really isn't ok to say it and sometimes I really need an explanation to understand it and stop doing it. Call me stupid, I won't get offended because I really can be stupid sometimes, that's why I asked this.

Yeah. That's why I phrased it like that.

Like left-tard? First thing that crossed my mind and sorry for being literal, but if I understood you well, then noted, I will be careful about using phrases like those.

Dunno if this rambling helps clear it out.

Very much.

reinforces the belief that being x=bad, justifying their oppression and current condition.

I get it. I know this about other slurs, but I have this bloody disorder of not being able to implement something on other things, like what you just described. I needed this eli5. Thank you.
