TIL the Middle East was in a vacuum.

Like what you might find in a hot, dry region?

Interesting question. I wonder how common dryers are in the Middle East? It's famously hot and dry there so a dryer seems a bit redundant.

So your saying it's not appropriate to have a blanket rule for everyone demanding everyone work in the office 5 days a week... False equivalency my arse. His job description is "make number go up". He could do his job from a small office next to the sales guy. On what planet do you think defending the CEO will make a difference when your employer decides they need more control over your life?

I bet he isn't in the office 5 days a week...

That's an expensive ring.

So to be clear, you are saying Israel has done nothing improper over the last 2 years in its actions towards Palestinians?

Again, most of the people using this statement are using it in solidarity with Ukranian independence and are unaware of its origins.

Your comic is too simple to explain the complexity of this issue.

This was a strawman argument anyway.

Interesting history lesson.

Is the implication that Spitzspot is a fascist / communist and anti-Semite because they said Slava Ukrani?

They well may be, but that's a big call based on the use of a phrase which has seen a rapid evolution in it's usage in the last few years.

Are all Hindi and buddists and Jainists who continue to use the swastika as a part of their religious symbolism anti-Semite fascists as well?

Is Kim Jong Un a proponent of individual rights and liberties because he leads the Democratic People's Republic of Korea?

I'm guessing there's a few Americanism's that'd have the same complex history.

Slava Ukrani may have it's origins in fascism, but right now across the english speaking world it is seen as a Clarion call championing the freedom of a democratic Ukraine against the current fascist Russian regime.

Words have more than one meaning, and those meanings evolve.

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. In my experience there are ups and downs with depression. You are getting better, it takes time. Hold in there mate.

This is why letters of character should not be considered in a court of law.
