9News reported that the attacker targeted members of Run For Their Lives, a group that raises awareness of Israeli hostages and others held by Hamas. The group holds regular walks on Pearl Street, including one scheduled for Sunday afternoon. The group was approaching Boulder's historic courthouse when a man threw bottles at them that burst into flame, burning five people, an organizer told 9News.

I wonder what his Era username is.

I was going to say, sounds like an Era poster:

You're going to tell me, that after all the "good guy with a gun" rhetoric the Republicans go on about, that in fucking Colorado there was no "good guy with a gun" to take out some cunt using Molotov cocktails and a homemade flame thrower?

[Potato]

This is just the latest proof of concept that Israel's genocide is making Jewish people less safe worldwide.

Is this victim blaming?

[Potato]

There's photos and videos of the (shirtless) perp being arrested.

No mention of any signs or slogans being yelled out.

It's not clear if the guy was pro-palestine or just wanted to cause suffering.

Maybe he was just causing a little chaos. Who among us hasn't just caused a little chaos by beating an old man to death in the street or setting a few Jewish kids on fire?

Outright mockery is absolutely a useful tool not only for disempowering oppressors but for empowering the oppressed. Running the dozens is basically a national past time amongst Black folks and I don't think we're gonna stop roasting each other or intended targets because liberals take mockery personally.

They make boring ass EDM that talks about how hard it is to be white and in love

brb, going to post on Era about a boring ass rap artist that talks about how black women are just hoes and being in a gang is great.

A person is primarily responsible for their own insecurities though, and that includes the decision of going to therapy. Literally, confidence and healing primarily have to start with ownership of that.

This thread is full of fucking marks.

You didn't start vaping cuz it's better for you. You didn't start vaping for any reason other than it was extremely successfully marketed to you in countries, mostly the US but many others, where this kind of shit isn't regulated near enough. You started vaping because it slowly then very quickly became the done thing AND because smokers are inherently fucking selfish and wanted to circumvent the public bans, which is why everybody's favorite obnoxious self-absorbed vaper anecdote is the ppl who think they can vape anywhere like 2nd hand smoke magically disappeared along with big tobacco's hand down on your throat and the carcinogens that are allowed free reign in our environments let alone our precious sanctified individual bodies.

All the wrong arguments are being made here. This is not an issue of personal choice any more than vaccination or masking were or are in the context of public health. Government actually does exist to regulate harms to society because they are usually the people (when things are working and it's not like I'm saying they always are) who pay for and actually read the fucking studies that prove you dipshit marks are exactly what you fucking are.

The fact is that every single vape defender is using incessant logical fallacies (whataboutism, false equivalence, strawmen, to name just a few) is a massive and catastrophic self-own for a bunch of people who think they fucking choose this, that it's all about a "product you enjoy" and are down here using tired nonsensical libertarian rationalizations to back this up.

Which they can't, it's the same "I'm not a mark, this is freedom" shit that you make fun of right wing idiots for. Most of whom are part of the generation where the techniques used to manipulate YOU were perfected. Yet you all suddenly believe the incredibly consistently debunked supply/demand model of consumption.

You've apparenly never heard terms like manufactured consent/demand and even if you gormless children (some of you literally are children and this thread outs you) have heard these terms, you don't fucking comprehend what they mean. Then you turn around and accuse critics of these harmful, publicly damaging, products of... bias? Does consumption of vaping products magically remove bias like all the other magic they do?

So lemme spell it out for you: if you're in here defending this stuff, you're a fucking mark and you need to be shamed. Smoking is shameful, anti-social and self-destructive and no, dummies, we don't need to spiral into discussing other substances and products in this thread about vaping to satisfy your mark ass fucking whataboutism.

One person said this thread is awful. They were under fucking stating it.

I hope this wasn't done as an act to benefit Palestine. Random violence literally does nothing. All this will be used for is further bipartisan violence against pro-Palestinian voices. Feels like situations like this may become more common in the future, which is not a good thing at all. There's a desperation for something and the never ending escalation will lead more people into thinking this random spree of violence will do anything meaningful at all. Political violence has lead to major changes, but it was never just random attacks on, especially, civilians, and it never will. Even random attacks on political enemies of fascists is a coordinated effort that is planned out.

Though, I will say that you cannot argue on behalf of genocide peacefully. We don't think Nazi rallies are peaceful, c'mon now. The fact that this is so normal in this country is fucking sick. We've learned nothing over years of committing genocide and pretending to be sorry about it.

You owe the state a healthy body to maximize your labor for your true interests comrade. You are incapable of reasoning for yourself as proven by the fact that you have the wrong desires, only those with the proper interests are thinking independently and so should reason for the rest! If you disagree with any of this you're a stupid mark and need to stop resisting the guidance of your superiors.

Looking at her social feed she must have posted a hundred times yesterday. She raised more money last month than a lot of people earn monthly.

[Besticus Maximus]

True, but I'm reticent to consider short people, balding people, and people with small dicks "vulnerable groups" because there is no meaningfully relevant history of oppression that defines these groups. I would also probably extend that to overweight people even though they get a lot more stigma and systemic ostracization.

This is why I recoil at the attempts at equivocation in the name of progressiveness and find it insulting. It ignores material and historical reality. Like, no. Being bald, having a small dick, or being overweight is not the same as being Black, or queer, or a woman, or any of the myriad of groups undergoing a genocide right now. Having your feelings hurt also isn't inherently the same thing as experiencing legitimate oppression.

Hello I'm one of those women who only dates tall people. Sorry it's hot being with someone way taller than you

I've been happily married for many years and have no dog in this fight. But you should really consider how you would sound substituting height with literally any other physical trait -- say, skin color, or weight -- in this post. Openly declaring shit like this spreads zero positivity. People are able to refrain from doing it in other cases, like the examples I cited. Consider doing it in yours.

SHE'S QUEER QUEER QUEER

An interaction between Tanya and Tremor in Mortal Kombat X in addition to Mileena's Arcade ending in Mortal Kombat 11 suggests that Mileena is the second LGBT character in the Mortal Kombat series, being the first bisexual character. The first LGBT character was Kung Jin. While it is confirmed that Kung Jin is indeed homosexual, it has yet to be confirmed whether or not Mileena is in fact bisexual.

An interaction between Tanya and Tremor, in addition to some interactions with Mileena in Mortal Kombat X, and Mileena's Arcade ending in Mortal Kombat 11 suggests that Tanya is one of three LGBT characters in the Mortal Kombat series, possibly being the second bisexual character, after Mileena. The first LGBT character was Kung Jin. While it is confirmed that Kung Jin is indeed homosexual, it has yet to be confirmed whether or not Tanya is in fact bisexual.

Ah, okay. Queer icons definitely.

Also:

I mentioned in another thread that Morrigan was a childhood crush of mine; the fact that she was Scottish (and her hair is close to my favourite colour of Cyan) probably helped. As I've also mentioned before, her being a canon bisexual helps a lot in me liking her and I like that she's got a good story arc about responsibility and her accepting her role as the Queen of Makai/Hell. That being said, I don't like some of the flanderization she's suffered over the years that focuses on her solely being about sex; or the Udon or Teppen versions of her that just make her an outright villain; both I feel lose a lot of her fun and dorky nature, Morrigan isn't a hero, she's an anti-hero, but to me she's also the type of person gloating she's taking out newbs left or right in SF6's competitive mode and loves to party.

Just come on, dude.

But... you can? Peaceful is about the actions during the protest not the goal of the protest. What they never seem to understand is that this kind of logic can easily be used against them too. "A protest that argues for the end of Israel can never be peaceful"
