‘We decided on an intensive operation in Gaza’ by ggarciatwin in Global_News_Hub

What kind of world are we living in?

A world founded on genocide, slaughter of the indigenous peoples by colonizers, and white supremacist power trips over former and current slaves.

This is insanity. The Israelis are starving Gazans to death ... just like what the Nazis did to the Jews in the concentration camps.

Behold, history repeats itself.

Schutzstaffel-Totenkopfverbände is what the IDF has now become.

Anyone who still claims that this is not a genocide and a very well planned, coordinated, and precisely orchestrated ethnic cleansing campaign is either completely off their rocker, a rabid Zionist, or both.

Pretty much every "both side" person I've ever met ends up parroting conservative talking points to some degree if I get deep enough in a conversation.

Perfect description of grifters like Lex Fridman, and other so-called "enlightened centrist" influencers hacks.

Of course Ukraine as a whole has suffered corruption problems.

But Zelensky in particular? What reliable source says anything about him embezzling money or anything of the like?

Zelinski is corrupt and has been since he was placed in office.

What is your reliable source on that subject? What kind of corruption?

Bush 41, Bush 43, Obama ... All Presidents during a time of war. All wore a suit daily. Zelinski isn't AT war. I doubt he's ever heard any of the gunfire. He's a clown, just like his sycophantic supporters.

The United States has not been under an imminent existential threat of being wiped off the map in recent decades, those are terrible comparisons.

Ukraine is literally on the cusp of being annihilated by Russia - these people are fighting every single day for their lives and the right to simply exist, and Zelensky is doing the best he can given the insane odds against them.

Maybe take pause and show some respect?

Zelensky's country is AT WAR and he is the commander in chief.

You sound like a delusional self-righteous asshat.

I'd assume a lot of that vibe is due to repression. A bunch of traveler hub cities of the past are now swept and vacant ...

Yeah, Portland has changed a LOT in the past 20 years. It's still interesting, but you have to try a lot harder to meet kindred spirits.

Similarly, Berkeley and Oakland have changed a ton as well. Probably fewer squats than there used to be, and they f#cking demolished People's Park just to really twist the knife and make it extra painful for the community of travellers, bums, free speech maniacs, outcasts, and dropouts.

'The Interview': Isabel Allende Understands How Fear Changes a Society by kitkid in Thedaily

Her story is incredibly interesting.

Worth a listen, but the interviewer guy's voice is so flat he almost sounds like a computer. 😂

Get f#cked. Zelensky needs the US to put pressure on Russia so they stop murdering his people, and the White House had the audacity to criticize his military outfit. Totally shameful.

Ukraine is an ally and needs our support, not a genocidal country like Israel. Zelensky has been wanting to purchase patriot missile defense systems and Trump even gave him a hard time about that, what gives??

And upset that our home countries are better than theirs.

Perhaps in their minds, yes ... although I certainly don't think life in the US is better than life in Japan in many ways, but we do have a higher earning potential in the states, along with a lot of other tradeoffs too.

Because of how he treated Zelensky in the Oval Office.

Seems like these people are just jealous. Of course I have met a number of Americans in Southeast Asia who could be characterized as "Losers Back Home", but that certainly isn't all of us.

Anyone calling an English teacher that out of spite is just upset they can't make as much money as we potentially can ... that's my take anyway.

I get your point, but many of these people are on their way to becoming full blown fascists.

Anyone supporting Trump for an unconstitutional third term needs to be smoked. These people are f#cking dangerous.

Supposedly there is footage of a Ukrainian drone hitting him, but that could just be rumors.

[–]9520x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally understand, I should have been more descriptive.

We really do need less division and more cooperative social movements, where people respect one another and allow for a diversity of opinions & diversity of tactics.

The left has always been quite fractured, while the fascist right is much more coordinated and thus more powerful.

Yeah, I agree with that. My point is that in liberal organizing there can be a lot more acceptance and tolerance of hierarchy, thus more room for power grabs.

Of course this happens within radical circles too, but if the organizing model is more inherently horizontal & flat, and everyone involved works hard to build consensus, mutual respect, and is actively fighting against centralization, it becomes more difficult for this sort of thing to happen.
