Israeli report

Let's wait for someone credible to confirm it, then. Oh what's that the UN already investigated and concluded that no such thing happened? Then don't fucking post Hasbara.

They're going straight to the gulag aren't they?

Of course they're not the same; Tories are conservatives and Reform are fascists, but that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. There's still no hope in "unity" with Labor or any of their ilk; they're simply not going to allow the things that need to be done to be done. We've literally just seen this happen in America, and nothing makes me believe Labor is different enough from the Democrats to produce a different result.

People also need to be realistic about what the electorate overall wants.

The electorate can be made to want new things; they're simply not thinking about leftwing politics and ideas seriously enough for the status quo to be final, and why would they? The people who should be championing those ideas actively avoid acting on them not to alienate the neoliberals, so of course leftwing politics will have zero credibility with the electorate. You need to promote and make a good faith effort to enact your ideas before you can expect others to believe in them.

Taking the limit of the partial sum of Hitler killings we find that he killed half a Hitler, so he's morally in the black.

I didn't have any tahini but I figured if I did that peanut butter substitution it might work enough to figure out if I should buy some.

Middle Eastern guy here, you should buy tahini anyway. Tahini sauce goes well with all kinds of grilled meat and kebab.

Organizing is the first step, the groundwork.

Certainly true, but what you're organizing for is also important, because organizing can be the groundwork for anything from negotiating better wages to starting a revolution. My point was that it's very possible that the sort of organizing we're talking about is very different from what Bernie is calling for. It's still useful advice, but not "fighting words," so to speak.

Fucking hate the enshittification of search engines, finding a set of transcripts or simply searching tweets is a fucking Herculean task. I'll get back to you on this if I find more than fucking two transcripts.

Uh... good luck, you'll need it.

Labor productivity has grown faster than real wages

And this is supposed to be a good thing?

That has literally nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I'm responding to the common idea that religion is somehow a significant motivator for Zionist atrocities, not commenting on the impact of religion in general. Then I explained why I thought that was the (or at least a) point made in the parent comment.

Okay I don't like talking like this, but what part of "to a much lesser extent" do you not understand?

 

You can't quite beat "gulags were paid bro," but here's more stupidity from the same thread. Apparently Nazis killed all the good communists in 1933. Like holy fuck I thought only Zionists could be this dumb.

Top: TFW when Nazi Germany wasn't Nazi.

Bottom: This mod just removed a rhetorical question because "nobody said that"???

Thread in case y'all wanna see the context. Everything below the first paragraph was added after my response.

 
 
 
 
 

One thing Trump tried to do after getting inaugurated was considering Mexican cartels terrorist organizations, and for that he was attacked by Sheinbaum for violating Mexico's sovereignty. But, at least as far as I've read on the topic (whcih is not a lot to be fair), nobody actually explains why that's the case. I mean at a glance you'd think the Mexican government would benefit from such an action, or at least I did. It's pretty obvious to me I'm missing a piece of the puzzle, so does anyone here have it?

Edit: Thanks for the answers. Now it makes sense.
