    Everyone’s laughing now but wait til a Shoot and Cry biopic is released. We’ll never hear the end of it

      The need to avoid censorship has kinda made it part of the lexicon. I know "suicide" isn't censored here, but it's just become habit these days because it is at many places

        Well, it's spread like a virus because people seeking to monetize their content (not making a value judgement there) found that TikTok and maybe YouTube, etc. will demonetize or limit monetization if content contains certain phrases and words. Which is insanely fucked up dystopian shit. If it was in a movie people would recognize how absurd it is that Google essentially has banned the words suicide orremoved or Gaza and even words like Zionist... solely for their own desire to sell maximum ads to maximum advertisers to run on endless Mr Beast copycat content. It's beyond a farce at this point. I can't even call that accurate description of reality "clown world." I mean, what the fuck...

        I guess the point is... if you aren't making money off social media, which is most of us, your censorship is probably not necessary. And if it is necessary in order for you to post... probably past time for a new platform. But if people do choose to stay at such platforms all I can hope is they keep the censorship stuff there too. It feels sort of disrespectful in an intangible way to call aremoved victim a "victim or grape." Even though I know the reasoning behind doing so... like, come on...

          Its not just about money. The algorithns will burry your video if you include certain words/topics.

          If your goal is to reach as many people as possible, money or no money, you'll be incentivised to self censor.

    I wonder how comparatively "at peace" the three (four?) conscientious objectors (in the entire country) are in comparison.

    Anyway, rat-salute to any IDF who have the decency to kill themselves (not really, they can still go to hell).

    I would have just refused to bomb Palestinians. Skill issue.

      Especially when the punishment for refusing conscription is well known and talked about.

      Spending multiple back to back prison sentences in Israeli prison, as an Israeli Jewish person (the state's designation since they differentiate between Jewish and "Arab") not subject to theremoved and abuses that are done to Palestinians, for potentially years vs going along with the social norm of participating in personally murdering or helping murder dozens, hundreds, maybe 1000s of innocent kids, women, men, anyone else. The choice is so clear.

      "Ok, you can join the SS and help round up and shoot Jews every day until you're successful in extermination, we lose the war, or you dome yourself. Or! You get sent to a German-run German-prison for Germans. Not the concentration camps and definitely not any death camps. Up to you!"

      Nobody except Nazis excuses the men who wore the uniform and did that despite all of them obviously knowing it was horrific what they were doing. They justified it too by saying Jews wanted to murder them or otherwise destroy society. The same way Israelis are doing towards their victims. It's just pathetic anyone even tries justifying this genocidal rhetoric. I prefer when they just admit how disgusting they are.

    Saw a TikTok that said something like "Hey any IOF soldiers who don't feel like they can live with what you've done, just know that you don't have to."

    Glad to see one of them came to the same conclusion.
