So if Israel had any kind of military base near civilian areas, would that mean it's using Israeli citizens as human shields?

"Echoing his leader, Major General Igor Konashenkov, chief spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defence, stated in a news conference on February 28 that “the armed forces of the Russian Federation strike only at military targets”. Discussing the capital, Kyiv, he added that “the leadership of Ukraine and the authorities of the city, having announced a curfew, are persuading the residents of the capital to stay in their homes”. This, he concluded, “once again proves that the Kyiv regime uses the residents of the city as a ‘human shield’ for the nationalists who have deployed artillery units and military equipment in residential areas of the capital”."

"Then on March 3, Moscow accused Ukrainian authorities of holding a group of 6,000 Indian students and other foreign nationals as “human shields”. Indian authorities themselves denied the claim. A couple of days later, Putin declared that “the neo-Nazis” were obstructing the creation of humanitarian corridors requested by the Ukrainian government to evacuate civilians trapped in the line of fire, claiming “the militants” were keeping the potential evacuees as human shields."

Basically this in every capacity.

Immigrants are easy to hate and kick out. They are already probably vulnerable as a group, so kicking them while they are down while screaming, "YOU DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE!" makes emotionally immature people feel like they regaining control and protecting their country. This however has nothing to do with the other. Societies where racism begins to thrive will pick any vulnerable group. In Nazi Germany, it was the Jews. In China, it's the Uyghurs. In many European countries, it's the immigrants.

What exacerbates this further is that hating on immigrants (or any vulnerable group) worsens their conditions which makes it easier to point the finger and blame them for crime or lack of resources. Rinse and repeat. The spiral continues. The racists get more validation after pushing the immigrants down, and the immigrants become more frustrated with a country that doesn't value their taxes and contributions.

I invite you to read the rest of the shit he writes. You won't need shortcuts.

One of the best things I've read in a long time. Thank you

Oh no have I hurt your inner Shittie, I mean Swiftie?

Some annoying people in my circle keep playing her songs. They all suck.

Now say the same thing yet again! ♥️♥️

Yeah just keep talking with the person you think I am in your head...

Ah yes now I'm a dick for not licking the boots fo celebrities. Lol.

Thanks ♥️♥️♥️ and you are just a delight.

Didn't think people would be such little weaklings when someone doesn't like the crap they like.

Right... again I do know who that talentless rich bitch is. I actually gave her a "try".. Could not tolerate more than a song or two. She sounds like shit. She is a grand phenomena of celebrity worship and capitalist marketting. Being famous does not mean you are talented. I consider all her fans to be victims.

Now your turn again to repeat what you said before as if we are not even talking 😁

Like I said, I do know who she is... thanks to CNN and their desperate attempts at remain relevant among celebrity worshippers. Now it's your turn to repeat exactly what you said before!

Like I said, the only reason I know who she is is because the CNN editors are trying their best to make a buck so every time she farts, a front page headline is born. She is famous because we are collectively stupid.

If you read most things JustZ, you would probably take that back... JustZ is a genocide denier in every sense of the word and they always say the other person is dumb when they are challenged.

She does all that and yet it all sounds repetitive and bland. She might as well be replaced by an AI.

As someone who was raped as a teen, I would still do anything in my power to prevent you from killing my rapist. Because if you kill them, you're just worse than them, really.

Correct. Propaganda doesn't need to be unfactual. Using a celebrity figure to promote a certain party or ideology because idiots with no music taste love to worship this "musician" is propaganda... whether we like the party she advocates for or not.

It's because she's rich bitch who wants to sell. No other reason.

The only reason I know who she is is because the BBC and CNN think any fart she makes constitutes news. Who gives two shits about a wannabe musician doing anything regarding politics? Our needless worship of celebrities needs to end. This is not news.

People get so pissed when anyone pisses on Swift like she is some god. Who gives a fuck if that person doesn't give a fuck who she is?

Ps. To me she is a sign of societal decline. Just another rich bitch pretending to be relevant.

Never said all ads are like that. Still wondering how much dystopian ads like that bring along in actual value.

And now they are also making everyone agree to having their data splurged up by the giant monstrosity that is now google: share or die.
