There’s also a British TV show that’s even more meta: Gogglebox.

It’s basically several households watching and discussing TV on TV.

Like a cross between a reality show and a very specialized YouTube reaction channel that makes up for its lack of content being reacted to with an abundance of people reacting 😄

There’s brain activity involved in watching movies too*. Just because you’re not changing it doesn’t mean that you’re not emotionally and intellectually engaged.

You’re right that gaming as an art form and pastime doesn’t get the respect that it’s due compared to the ones that were already popular when boomers were kids, though…

*even if it’s one that stars Kevin James, Rob Schneider or Adam Sandler in his signature role “Angry Dumb Guy”

random dipshits who are good at being entertaining

Hmm, I wonder why someone would ever watch something entertaining… 🤦😂

Is this like the coal rolling thing, where “triggering the libs” by being obnoxious, harmful and irresponsible is the only point?

Okay, so literally JUST like the people you’re saying are opposed to genocide but support continuing aid.

Nope. They’re not active participants in the genocide.

Great. We’re done here.

That we agree on. Have the day you deserve.

some people have a favorable opinion of Israel in spite of being against their genocide

So… people like, say… Joe Biden?

No, not people who are active participants in the genocide who have vowed not to stop no matter what.

A civilian who still instinctively supports Israel in general can simultaneously oppose the genocide. It’s misguided, but it’s the case of many voters.

In contrast, a PRESIDENT who sometimes says “hey, please cool it, guys!” but also IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE GENOCIDE WHO HAS VOWED NOT TO STOP can not in any way be said to be against the genocide that he’s taking part in.

Biden, who has expressed opposition

Wagging his finger once in a while when an especially horrific atrocity becomes public does nothing when he’s simultaneously sending them the weapons used to commit the atrocities and saying that he’ll be on their side no matter what.

the ongoing operations

Holy minimizing language, Batman! Committing genocide and other crimes against humanity on a daily basis is not your standard “operations”. Implying as much makes you sound like you’re in favor of it or at the very least don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as it is.

[Biden] is also anti-genocide

Nope. He’s literally an active participant in the genocide who has vowed not to stop.

You’ll have to forgive me for not finding that a very ‘anti-genocide’ or ‘changing what we’re currently doing’ stance.

Sure, I’ll forgive you for being as dense as a neutron star if you stop demonstrating over and over that you’re suffering from a very severe case of the Dunning Kruger effect.

You literally JUST admitted that most Americans would not be in favor of suspending aid to Israel.

Which is a separate question, especially to the ones who mistakenly think that Israel isn’t to blame for the genocide or that they’re not the only ones perpetuating it.

Are you even trying?

To get through your thick skull that some people have a favorable opinion of Israel in spite of being against their genocide? Yeah. That it’s not working is entirely due to your seemingly willful resistance to simple logic.

The fuck do you think a Trump victory is

An unmitigated disaster. One that the person you were addressing didn’t advocate for at any point of this conversation.

Yes. Most people want to vote for the outcomes that they prefer and most people want the genocide to end. Ergo most people would vote for an end to the genocide if given the opportunity.

In the minds of these people aiding Israel will either stop the genocide or not necessarily have an effect on it. They’re wrong, but still against the genocide.

It’s simple logic that REALLY shouldn’t be so hard for you to understand.

If ending genocide was actually a choice on the ballot instead of two ghouls who both support genocide, I bet most would vote to end genocide.

Thinking most people would be against genocide is spreading misinformation?

No contradiction there. The former is a statement of well-documented fact and the latter is an incredulous reaction to your bizarre claim

Of course, the fact that you explicitly advocate for voting for a genocide of American minorities

The FUCK are you babbling about??

In what universe isn’t disapproval of Israels actions opposition to genocide?? That’s literally what they’re doing that people disapprove of!

At most, people want to continue aid to Israel in SPITE of disapproving of the genocide.

Some people still incorrectly think that Israel isn’t inherently a genocidal apartheid state, so they want to support them in general, but want the genocide to stop.

The goal is, here, to have an accurate view of American history

By teaching bronze age fairy tales set in the Middle East.

Well, Snow White had came out only 5 years previous, so kissing non-responsive women was still considered very fashionable. Trends moved slower back then.

do you prefer a level headed voice trying to minimize palestinian casualties, or would you prefer Israel get the all-clear to steamroll Gaza indiscriminately, likely annexing it wholesale? Very clear choices.

Would greatly prefer the former, but unfortunately no such candidate was on the stage.

There was one guy lying about whether Israel wants to end the genocide while sidestepping the fact that he’s the one supplying the weapons and political cover.

And then there was the guy telling the truth for the first time in years by pointing out that Israel very much DO want to keep the hostilities going…and then bemoaning that the other war criminal on the stage wasn’t being gleefully bloodthirsty in public about it.

Definitely the stupidest timeline 🤦

Been a while since this was relevant. Thanks for bringing idiocy back, I guess? 🤷

Behold! Her cave of wonders!
