my general rule of thumb: it's okay to disagree with me but if your first interaction with me is hostile, I am going to be an asshole right back. ASK FIRST and you'll get further than insulting me and my intelligence

Suggestion for folks asking for mutual aid support (based on years of experience): There's no need to say you're embarrassed or ashamed or hate to have to ask. That's exactly how capitalism wants you to feel. And it wants you to reinforce the idea that asking for help is shameful.

“Not a single phone in Gaza can be reached right now. Israel completely cut off all communications to Gaza. No internet, no landlines. This is a total blackout. Every person you know from Gaza has completely lost contact with their loved ones. We know what comes next.” - Hanna Alshaikh

"Israel's minister of communications has said that Israel will "use all means to fight" the restoration of communications services in Gaza, Al Araby reported." They explicitly say they caused communications blackout in Gaza, but Western journalists equivocate with passive voice to exonerate them..

Ask yourself: does every random person with a bad take or even a *nuclear* take deserve the Main Character treatment? Are you actually contributing to something like justice? Is your momentary catharsis worth punishing an individual way more than is justified? At some point, the point's been made.
