Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Syrian activist Mazen Al-Hamada, known for exposing Assad regime atrocities, was found dead in Saydnaya prison in Damascus.

Once a symbol of resilience, Al-Hamada had endured imprisonment and torture before seeking asylum in the Netherlands in 2014.

He became a leading voice for Syrian detainees, recounting his trauma to raise awareness.

Al-Hamada returned to Syria in 2020, reportedly lured by regime promises of safety, but disappeared soon after.

His death has sparked calls for justice and renewed focus on the plight of thousands still detained under Assad’s rule.

Seriously this world is fucked up.

  • Fuck Assad and its regime.
  • Fuck Israel and its regime.
  • Fuck the West and its enabling of genocide.
  • Fuck US for enabling genocide.
  • Fuck the Arab countries for doing nothing and having shit on human rights.

Instead of going forward, we seem to going backward. We haven’t learnt a thing of the past and just repeating the insanity of it.

Putin’s little lap rat.

Pretty wild that he'd go back

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

he wanted to make a difference to those that couldn't escape.

he was lured under false pretense.

at this point anyone wanting to make this a better world where we can live in peace and equality has to make a choice.

you either kill the oppression or they kill you.

I'm getting too old for this shit.
