People outside the immediate scope of WWII: "man, sure seems like people are talking about Nazis and fascists a lot, am I right?"

u/fizzrail0 5h ago

Right? That's what I've been saying. Zios seem so adamant on it being useless to talk about Gaza, but they won't let it go for some reason.

u/One_Health_9358 12h ago

20,000 dead children and still increasing….

I can’t just be silent.

Iv seen too many videos of children without arms and legs. My heart is broken.

They keep telling me just to forget about it, but I can’t!

If you truly cared you’d actually do something about it 

Actions > words

"Well if you don't like it, why don't you create your own socio-economic power to change it!"

u/One_Health_9358 11h ago

I am doing everything I can within my limited power to so.

Once you’ve seen the videos and heard the stories from doctors, you’ll never be the same.

u/-SlippinJimmy8 11h ago

Doing WHAT exactly ? 

Oh yes I’m aware that you care about this specific thing because of what social media shows you. But you’ve never once thought about the 3 million kids that die in Africa EVERY YEAR

u/Potential-Ad431 11h ago

Yeah but that’s not part of the narrative dude

-22

u/nastynateraide 11h ago

Can't care about one thing, not when there's OTHER THINGS. Come the fuck on. This is whataboutism.

u/MoonWun_ 7h ago

Except people on your side do the same thing.

“HOW can you talk about THIS when there’s a GENOCIDE happening right now in Gaza?”

20

u/-SlippinJimmy8 11h ago

Except you don’t care at all

I’m just pointing out your hypocrisy 

-9

u/nastynateraide 11h ago

What about tornados? You can't talk about dead kids without addressing tornados. You're disingenuous and shouting down viewpoints you don't like because I'm a hypocrite? Be real. You telling me I don't care is wild, considering I've done nothing but call out your bullshit without stating any cause I support.

u/-SlippinJimmy8 10h ago edited 10h ago

What have you actually done to help people in Gaza ? Have you donated time or money ? Have you flown there to take up arms against the occupiers ?

The difference between you and me is that I have no issue admitting that I don’t care which is why I’m not lecturing anyone else in the first place

u/One_Health_9358 11h ago

I am a Christian and I do not believe Jesus would stand for this. Jesus would want me to do whatever I can to end these atrocities.

It’s just what I believe in. It’s my faith and my path in life.

26

u/-SlippinJimmy8 11h ago

Ok so then what are you doing exactly? Jesus made it VERY clear that actions speak louder than words 

-1

u/One_Health_9358 11h ago

I don’t understand why my activism upsets you?

I’m literally just trying to reduce human suffering.
I’m trying to act in accordance of how Jesus would live.

I would also extend my hand and help you, if you ever needed it.

Would you even accept my help?

Reddit activism

u/One_Health_9358 11h ago

It’s much easier to criticise someone who is trying, than it is to actually try.

My path is difficult, your path is easy. We are not the same.

The person you are talking to is almost certainly a bot

3 month old account, rehashes tired bot talking points

Just mute them and move on

You do 0 activism.

I'm pretty sure jesus said to judge a man by his fruit.

What's your fruit?

u/TypeCommercial2048 9h ago

So you decided to fight people in a Reddit forum about it…

Wasn't he waging a war himself in some books? Or am I mixing things up?

If they made a point about kids in Africa, you'd just hit them with the next thing.

Whataboutism 101

u/-SlippinJimmy8 6h ago

If he made a point about Africa I’d make the same point of asking him what he actually does for African kids 

-1

u/traumfisch 6h ago

Indeed you would. And when they told you where they donate time and money, you'd ask about the kids in Ukraine, and so it goes.

You get upvotes for "calling them out", they get downvoted for being shaken and caring for something.

Meanwhile, you don't need to help anyone at all. That's how that works

2

u/-SlippinJimmy8 6h ago

Except they didn’t tell me that because they NEVER donated their time or money which is my entire point 😂

1

u/traumfisch 6h ago

You have no idea whether they did or didn't, but you assume no one actually ever does. Because you are a heartless asshole.

Meanwhile, lots of starving kids are being subjected to the brutality of Netanyahu's fascist regime. Donate here:

This reads like a bot pretending to speak like a sad person.

Yeah, 0 posts and over 3.6k comments all talking about the current situation in the Middle East.

u/Comfortable-Gas-4005 10h ago

I've seen the pictures and heard the stories. Yet I am the same. So there goes that stupid fucking theory.

u/ApplicationCalm649 9h ago

Were you also in an uproar when they attacked civilian Israelis during a music festival?

-2

u/One_Health_9358 8h ago

40 children died on Oct 7.

Israel has killed 20,000.

That means Israel has killed x500 times more children than Hamas.

In this endless war between Israel and Palestine, one side is killing extremely more children than the other…. And that the side that has sophisticated technology and precision guided bombs.

6

u/ApplicationCalm649 7h ago

I'm not particularly surprised that the side with a history of using children as human shields is losing more kids. If they want to stop losing kids they should try standing in front of them, not behind them. 

-1

u/Waylaiken1 6h ago

They launch mortars and rockets from civilian locations then act shocked when they receive return fire.

1

u/PLUMBUS_STUCK_IN_ASS 3m ago

And by that you mean Hamas has martyred 20,000 children, because that's how Hamas sees it.

u/traumfisch 7h ago

Yes, of course. It was fucking horrific.

u/Fearless_River391 10h ago

Wait? You mean in Gaza??? Wow, of all places…thank you for raising awareness!

I live under a rock. There, I am officially the last person besides uncontacted tribes to have heard about Gaza. Mission successful, you can hang it up now my dude.

u/Substantial-Newt7809 10h ago

If you think that's a high number of dead then I have bad news for you about the rest of the world mate.

-1

u/One_Health_9358 10h ago

No where else in the world has more children dying to bombs than Gaza….

u/PiP_Art3mis 9h ago

Im gonna assume you're joking

1

u/One_Health_9358 9h ago

Gaza has the world’s highest population of amputee children.

No country in the world has more children who are missing arms and legs.

This is a particularly painful statistics for parents.

3

u/PiP_Art3mis 9h ago

Shifting goal posts already?

You brought up children being bombed, stick to your own topic

No shot Gaza's child death count is even 1/2 of Ukraine's (the other genocide that for some reason everyone ignores, even the beloved Ms Rachel)

4

u/One_Health_9358 8h ago

You think there are twice as many children dying in the Ukraine war than Gaza?

Really?

2

u/PiP_Art3mis 8h ago

Absolutely

u/EsseXploreR 7h ago

Its super easy to see how wrong you are with a simple Google. 

Less than 1000 dead kids in Ukraine according to Ukraine.

20,000 dead kids in Gaza according to israel.

u/Andromedan_Cherri 4h ago

So go over to Gaza and fight for 'justice' or something. Stop pissing and moaning about it on Reddit and do something if you actually care.

u/CRUMdelaCRUM 34m ago

Do you ever speak up about Ukraine?

1

u/TheJoshGriffith 9h ago

Well stop the music and bring up the stadium lights. Clearly we need to have an immediate conversation about this.

u/ApplicationCalm649 9h ago

Hammas is pretty good at stopping music.
