When I was in college, my group of friends were mostly libs and libertarians (I know) and the mother of one of these people once went on a rant in front of us about how Hamas and Hezbollah were going to team up and destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. After we left the house, I remember all of us just laughing at her and saying “what a fucking stupid take that was” despite not necessarily having the same opinions about Israel or having good opinions on anything else. But, we all knew this was stupid.

Having not read the article or knowing much about Lebanon, I’m going to assume this is still an extremely stupid and desperate thing to posit?

🎶I crashed my car into the bridge, I don’t care! I love Israel, I don’t care!

You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space You’re so damn hard to please, we gotta kill these kids

You’re from the campuses, but I’m a zionist 🎵

pooping Don

The election is Joever

Gotta bring up the fake genocide while ignoring and enabling the real one.

Why are radlibs so impossible to get through to? I have a close friend who is like this, he’s always so close to getting it (he has been great on Palestine to his credit) but always reverts back to NY Times brain and Democratic party shit.

Me whenever libs try to talk to me about this court case and tell me how it’s actually important or whatever.

I was watching the basketball game that was on before 60 minutes with my partner’s family. When that 60 minutes intro came on and the guy said “Russia” I burst out laughing. Luckily no one noticed haha

Me when I talk to libs: “sorry sweaty, you can’t believe any of the news that comes out of China, it’s all propaganda”

Meanwhile, news in America. Manufacturing consent for genocide and war 24/7.

Is your girlfriend someone I went to high school with? Because I heard a rumor about a girl getting this same tattoo after graduation.

Oh this is so fucking le epic awesomesauce

I got in an argument with my mother a few years ago about support for Palestine / criticism of Israel. Her argument was basically “we just can’t tell apart the antisemites from the legitimate support so we just shouldn’t have a movement.” It makes me think that the Washington Post decides to write about posts like this every once and awhile and actually write things like that. “but sorry the whole movement is antisemitic” and that’s where we get that absolutely fucking insane argument from.

Can’t wait until Biden loses Michigan to Trump and it costs him the electoral college!

Critical support for comrade coastal erosion

Sorry I was in transit when I replied and forgot to follow up. Not sure if you have acted yet, but yes starting with a counselor at the university may be a good first step. Some counselors have open door policies where you can just walk in and seek advice on things. I would begin by stressing the complexity of the situation and you not wanting to involve law enforcement.

There are also phone hotlines for this kind of thing. Both locally with the university or otherwise. But yeah first step for me would be explaining the complexity and not wanting to involve law enforcement. Any therapist or counselor who ignores or handwaves this away should be ignored in favor of someone else or another avenue.

Good luck. I will check back later.

I agree with part of what the other poster said. Might be worth searching around if there are organizations or therapists that could intervene. Try to reach out directly to the medical community as opposed to involving law enforcement. Good luck and I’m sorry to hear about this situation.

This is my favorite episode of Weeds

Sorry sweaty, Bill Clinton had his way with welfare too and it was never the same after
