I don't think this is true, depending on the task they can be extremely hard to spot. You especially don't want to accuse a student of cheating using AI without very concrete evidence.

I think this is also important relevant to the idea that Jewish Israelis are entirely white European settlers with a place of origin to "go back to". Many have heritage in the middle east and were essentially forced out of their countries. Even a lot of the Ashkenazi population doesn't have a clear country that they are from.

100% the only sane take. The revenge fantasy of killing millions of people is really gross.

I believe this was edited to be NDT and that this was the original thread: https://twitter.com/RegMCali/status/1224166443656155138

New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Washington D.C., ...

 

The reddit user literally just completely made up the "to circumvent local government restriction" bit (and gets sent to the front page of r/all).

Whenever I see a post like this, I wonder if it was done by an individual or as part of a paid propaganda effort.

I believe the original reason was that there were people downvoting trans positive content, and this let people be transphobic anonymously. (Conversely, transphobic content can easily be removed by moderators.)

And let's be honest, despite what reddit people might say, people don't only downvote bad faith content, they use the downvote as a "disagree" button.

 

"I understand that imperialism is how the US has succeeded and by god am I going to keep it that way."

 

They managed to vote the worst way on like 80% of the ballot measures

Who the fuck opposes rent control? Who's against employee protections for Uber drivers?

Even Florida voted to raise their minimum wage.
