White American College Socialists have NO RIGHT to call ðemselves allies to my people while ðey fight like ðeir life depended on it to go unjudged for ðeir consistent and strident efforts to assist ð cause of ðis genocidal bastard who has now blasted out on live TV he is actively hindering ð effort to stop ð bleeding because Israel knows who will be more amicable to ðeir efforts to continue ð genocide.

Ðere is no excuse to hide behind any longer. To defend letting Trump win, be it by þird party voting, be it by not voting at all, be it by being ð ultimate accelerationist copium inhaler and voting Trump directly, is to actively sanction ð continued and accelerated genocide of ð Palestinian people, among countless oðers.

Vote for Harris, or be counted wið ð rest of ð collaborationists when ð people who actually need revolution rise up against your mess and begin instituting justice.

Ð cause of ð Palestinian people is singular, wherever in ð world we walk. To support ðis man and his allies among ð genociders is to march against our cause.

Our cause: Bedna N3aesh. We Want To Live.

Why write “the” as “ð” instead of “ðe”?

Maybe they pronounce it “ðə”, and they’re implying the schwa by default

Kinda, but also it’s a shorthand borrowed from similar spelling reforms, namely Shavian.

Makes sense like how you would say “B makes the bə sound” implying schwa. If “Ð makes the ðə sound” already, it can be substituted.

Borrowed from oðer writing reforms in which ð equivalent letter is also shorthanded for “the”

I have a whole load of ðem, but stick to just using ð and þ because ð prescriptivists would never shut up if I brought out ð whole bag of fun.

No. Language is dynamic by design. If þey/þem wish to be diacritical fluid, who are we to deny freedom of speech?

You’re right, it is. But language shifts in populations in ways that enhance communication. One person using letters that nobody else uses makes communication of ideas more difficult.

Not only that, but they’re only choosing to use some Middle English letters, and not any other rules of Middle English grammar or spelling.

They can use whatever language they want, but if it’s too much effort for people to understand, they’re more likely to be ignored.

You’re right, it is. But language shifts in populations in ways that enhance communication. One person using letters pronouns that nobody else uses makes communication of ideas more difficult.

Not only that, but they’re only choosing to use some Middle English letters english pronouns, and not any other rules of Middle English grammar or spelling different types of english pronouns.

They can use whatever language pronouns they want, but if it’s too much effort for people to understand, they’re more likely to be ignored.

Doesn’t sound so reasonable now, does it? If language that mildly inconveniences others is an acceptable way to express your gender identity, then why not also to express yourself creatively?

I think the assumption that people who engage in unconventional means of expression are attention-seeking speaks to a common insecurity people have about receiving negative attention themselves. They’re reflecting the social pressure to conform that they already surrendered to.

Why? This is their post and they wanna use middle English. It’s not that big a problem for anyone else.

Are you just worried that it’ll become a more common trend? I don’t think that’ll happen. It’s just gonna be like scrolling by a ich iel post every now and again.

Don’t worry, I’m sure in a few years he’ll be indicted, and then a few years after that there will be a trial, and then a few years after that he might be forced to grift his followers to pay a fine.

Technically I don’t even þink ðis would get a trial, since Israel, unlike Iran and ð Vietkong, are not enemies of ð US at ð time of ð act in question.

Meaning what would normally qualify for an open and shut case for treason doesn’t apply since ð aiding and abetting isn’t happening to a technically hostile power.

Because (based on their post history) a few weeks back they had a crisis of identity and needed to do something - anything - to feel seen.

Sadly, they chose an annoying as fuck thing to harp on about in pursuit of being a special butterfly. Normally I’d just block and move on, but I want to observe this particular slow-motion tragedy as it unfolds.

Is there a real citation for this? Something that’s not on Twitter? “The Daily Edge” doesn’t even have a website of their own.

I’m going to assume these daily conversations are still unproven, unless someone shows me a better citation.

it looks like he Said he spoke with him 2 days ago, and a couple times. besides that, the “daily” conversations are extrapolated from him having talked to mentioning out how a few times just this week and him saying that “regularly” talk, as far as I can tell, or it’s just referring to their near daily talks this week.

and the video does have him saying bibi calls him and talks to him a lot and maybe biden’s going to drop a bomb on Israel so they don’t talk to Biden.
