But this is your political left in 2025.
I, in no way, shape or form support what hamas/Palestinians have created for themselves, but this is idiotic nonsense.
Perhaps you missed all the Palestinian flags and Hamas support at our universities, pride parades, BLM demonstrations, environmental events (see Greta), and ICE riots.
What you posted seems to read like a permission structure to be an complete asshole, by using the excuse of blaming others. It's a very maga thing to do for the lowest common denominator of society.
We already spent more time on this nonsense than it ever deserved. Next.
Greta is a little piece of shit with her stunt on her relief boat. Making a video that the Israeli navy has captured her and is holding her hostage. The navy came on board with sandwiches and drinks took them to a hospital to be checked out. Then put on a plane to France. If she wanted to go to Gaza she could have gone to Egypt first then gone to Gaza.
By the way Egypt also has had a blockade to Gaza’s port for years.
I see. It’s an unpleasant and unflattering reality for you so you want to dictate discussions away from it. You’re not the board navigator my friend.
The funny (not haha funny) thing it me, the pro-hamas people and maga are basically the same people with different sources of disinformation. Like brothers from different mothers.
She’s an autistic leftist grifter. She’s doesn’t give a shit about the innocent women and children being genocide in Gaza. Just like the climate hoax she’s in it to make a buck (or likely the people behind here think she advances their cause )
As you know I’m no fan of muzzies or Hamas but I also can’t accept the genocide if innocent civilians
You can just as easily put maga in the middle of that nonsense. It would even make more sense.
I used to see depictions like this online back when I was, like, a college sophomore and Occupy Wall Street was the lefty cause du jour, but it was “capitalism” in the middle and all of those other things branched off of it. I feel like that’s the only way something like this is even coherent.
But this one doesn’t even make any sense. You’ve got the Israel flag right there in “settler colonialism,” so the only interpretation that would make sense in this framing is that Palestine is a sub-part or example of settler colonialism, rather than Palestine being the over-arching issue. Misogyny as the Venn Diagram meeting point for patriarchy and settler colonialism? Huh?
Not very well done. Shoddy work by this generation of college sophomores.

This was probably created by a 40 year old maga loser who needed to feel about his miserable life by putting other down.
It's funny..............but I love how the left loves to paint the right as "miserable" yet 19 out of 20 protests are held by Leftists.
We know what the data shows on mental illness across party lines.
And we know what the data shows about happiness across party lines.
Lol. You are hopelessly in a cult and live a delusional existence of alternative "facts".
Have you sought therapy for your trans addiction yet?
The best part, you worship this demented beta loser.
Dotard donny can't even remember what day he's planning his overcompensating birthday parade. Lol.
Are you injecting Trump here as a way of deflecting from democrat’s notorious unhappiness and mental illness? Stay on point. By not doing so, I think you’re outing yourself as being that prototypical Dem.
Yawn.
Recent studies indicate that rates of mental illness, particularly depression, are relatively similar across political affiliations in the U.S., but notable differences exist in how individuals from different parties report and seek treatment for these conditions.
Depression Rates by Political Affiliation
A 2024 study published in the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice found that approximately 25.2% of Democrats, 23% of Independents, and 20.5% of Republicans screened positive for depression. These differences were not statistically significant, suggesting that depression affects Americans across the political spectrum at comparable rates.
Treatment-Seeking Behavior
Despite similar prevalence rates, disparities emerge in treatment-seeking behaviors. Among those who screened positive for depression:
75.7% of Republicans reported not receiving treatment (lack of self-awareness or lack of access to medical help in their shithole red states)
57% of Democrats reported not receiving treatment
59.3% of Independents reported not receiving treatment
This suggests that Republicans with depressive symptoms are significantly less likely to seek mental health care compared to their Democratic and Independent counterparts.
Self-Reported Mental Health Status
Self-assessments of mental health also vary by political affiliation. Data from the 2022 Cooperative Election Study indicated that 45% of individuals reporting poor mental health identified as liberals, while only 19% identified as conservatives. Conversely, 51% of those describing their mental health as "excellent" were conservatives, compared to 20% who were liberals.
Factors Influencing Mental Health Disparities
Several factors may contribute to these disparities:
Stigma and Cultural Attitudes: Conservative individuals may experience greater stigma around mental health issues, leading to underreporting and reluctance to seek treatment.
Personality Traits: Research suggests that conservatives often exhibit traits like conscientiousness and emotional stability, which are associated with better mental health outcomes. In contrast, liberals may score higher on neuroticism, a trait linked to increased vulnerability to mental health issues.
Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors: Variables such as age, income, education, and geographic location can influence both political affili ation and mental health status, potentially confounding direct comparisons.
Conclusion
While the prevalence of mental health issues like depression appears consistent across political affiliations, differences in treatment-seeking behavior and self-reported mental health status are evident. These disparities may be influenced by cultural attitudes, personality traits, and socioeconomic factors. Addressing stigma and improving access to mental health care across all political groups remain essential steps toward enhancing the nation's overall mental well-being.
So you manipulated AI.
We can do this all day…and there was a thread last week about it that you probably tapped out of.
Why Liberals Are More Depressed: The Hidden Mental Health Crisis on the Left
Highlights:
The Data Doesn’t Lie: The Liberal Mental Health Crisis
We’ve seen study after study confirm a striking fact: liberals report significantly higher rates of depression and anxiety than conservatives. This isn’t just an anomaly—it’s a pattern. If leftist ideology and victimhood culture lead to higher levels of despair, it raises a critical question:Do I really want to be part of that group?
Think about it. If their way of thinking—how they interpret the world, how they react to external events—is linked to higher depression, why would I want to absorb their worldview? Why would I adopt an ideology that cultivates negativity, helplessness, and fear?But it goes deeper. If these same individuals overwhelmingly vote for left-wing policies, then those policies are being shaped by a mindset prone to anxiety, pessimism, and dependency. And here’s the kicker: depression is addictive. It thrives on negativity. It reinforces itself. The more you engage in a worldview that breeds victimhood and helplessness, the deeper you fall into the cycle.
Multiple studies confirm that liberals report higher rates of depression and anxiety:
- A Pew Research Center survey found that over 50% of young white liberal women have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, compared to less than 30% of conservatives in the same demographic.
- A Columbia University study found that depression rates among liberal teenagers skyrocketed after 2012, while conservative teens remained far more stable.
- Research published in Social Science & Medicine shows that liberals, especially young ones, consistently experience more emotional distress than conservatives.
Why Are Liberals More Depressed Than Conservatives?
Psychologists have long studied locus of control—whether people believe they have control over their lives.- Liberals tend to have an external locus of control—believing that outside forces (the government, corporations, systemic oppression) determine their success or failure. This leads to helplessness and despair, reinforcing depression.
- Conservatives tend to have an internal locus of control, believing in personal responsibility, self-reliance, and the ability to improve their circumstances. This mindset is correlated with higher levels of happiness, confidence, and lower rates of depression.
The Conservative Advantage: Why Right-Wing Values Lead to Mental Strength
In contrast, conservatives tend to be happier, more resilient, and less prone to depression. Why?- They believe in personal responsibility and see struggles as challenges to overcome, not proof of systemic oppression.
- They focus on faith, family, and tradition, which provide emotional stability and a sense of purpose.
- They are less addicted to social media, avoiding the constant negativity that fuels liberal anxiety.
Here's what I learned about people like joeypanic (and there are a lot more here). Their sources of information are completely one-sided and full of nonsense. Their first reaction when confronted with an issue is to spew their misinformation as an argument. When challenged, they lash out with insults. When finally proven wrong, they slink away (tap out as you called it). Some, like SMF will continue to argue, even saying that he factchecked his argument. Their factchecking consists of finding another source that confirms their original belief. That's not hard since all their sources sell the same narrative.
The reality is that they live in an alternative information world, where lies and propaganda dominate. People like joeypanic cannot handle the true world, so he projects his defects onto those with whom he disagrees. I see this same pattern over and over here and in other forums.
This is another epic gambit by the Zionists. The exploding pagers operation was the bomb, but still, I'd about had all I can take from Netanyahu.
But then he gets the most universally hated bimbo in the world to pretend she was on her way to aid Palestine.
Hell, I'm gonna go over and head butt the Western Wall a hundred or so times and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Eff that meshuggana autistic Swede.
