Sins like accusing a nation’s citizenry of being complicit with its war crimes, which is, itself, a war crime?

Are you willing to take ownership of every bad thing your government’s ever done?

Shintoism has no fewer than four gods of male-male love, so no. Buddhist monks in Japan were also openly gay, like, all the time, so that’s not it, either. Confucianism bans gay marriage; I have no idea how relevant that is, here.

The Meiji era banned sodomy in 1872 in an effort to westernize. That would be my guess.

I don’t think you know what “alleged” means.

Or anyone else everyone is basically already at war with. E.g. if Ukraine were to destroy the Russian embassy in North Korea, nothing would escalate past where it already is.

Not to cast dispersions

Aspersions, not dispersions.

on the everything starts with the jews in Israel narrative

It is anti-Semitic to conflate Israel with “The Jews”.

didn’t most of the political movement to force the sale of US TikTok to a US owner and the current law to do so long predate Oct 7

No. The bill didn’t even exist until March 5th, 2024.

Like I hate to break it to you but congress, especially this congress and the maze of think tanks that draft their laws, just arn’t that fast and efficient at implementing new policy.

Look up the details on Juneteenth becoming a Federal holiday. Congress moves with lightning speed when it pulls its heads out of its asses.

What makws you think they can’t? Reducing tariffs on imported toothbrushes is an excellent way to reduce the sale cost of domestic toothbrushes.

From what I can tell, Shreddie Biologist primarily uses the “World News” sublem on lemmy.ml to shitpost the most biased, least fact-based articles they can find. I think I’m gonna block them, see how it improves the sub.

Ever thought about posting actual news articles to news subs? It’s deeply disingenuous to shitpost in the sub and then respond to your critics that they need to post more. No posts is better than more shitposts.

Don’t forget, they alleged racism, not just any discrimination. They equated Islam with a race. I wonder what skin color they assume all muslims have.

Don’t forget to report the post itself - this is a news sub, not a blog sub.

This source is so bad the article ends with a full confession that they aim to be biased. Why is this being posted to a news sub?

Why does this article refer to its own newspaper in the third person?

No evidence?

Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.

Police Superintendent Dudi Katz said officers have collected more than 1,000 statements and more than 60,000 video clips related to the attacks that include accounts from people who reported seeing women raped.

No quote for this one, my phone doesn’t seem to like copying from it. Suffice to say it claims evidence.

I’m not claiming these sources (all of which, but especially the third one, rely on other, specified sources) are necessarily trustworthy, etc. But evidence is absolutely being claimed.

Yemen is interdicting shipping to Israel through its territorial waters.

Citation needed on Yemen doing anything, as opposed to the Houthis like every single news source says. Citation needed on the rockets being fired only on ships headed to Israel, contradicting every source I can find. Citation needed on rockets only being fired at shipping vessels.
