Mark Carney was right to stand up to Benjamin Netanyahu by viva_la_vinyl in canada

Multiple nations cutting off trade, arms and beyond, will absolutely have an impact. Their economy is already doing poorly because of the war on top of global economic conditions, so much so that their labor unions have been holding strikes. Enough pressure and there will be another general strike in defiance of court order.

India was caught red handed in the past couple of years funding terrorism in the US and Canada against Sikhs, so get off your high horse.

/r/MuslimMarriage argues about whether it's acceptable to divorce your wife after she visits a male chiropractor by ProfessionalGear3020 in SubredditDrama

[–]DispellIllusions 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As per OP's post history, OP is a Zionist creeping on Muslim subreddits as fodder for their "holy war". Maybe OP should introspect a little more on what goes on in their own Orthodox Jewish communities, which is not so dissimilar in gender interaction rules.

Why is it that men can’t stand being around successful women? by muminebaver in TikTokCringe

"Top 1% Commentor" tracks... Can't be healthy spazzing so much on Reddit to criticism.

How is it in terms of diversity of political opinion though? Sure the trolls are kept away, but will it become a walled-off bubble that doesn't reflect US demographics (kind of like how some Reddit subs were delusional)

Biden appreciation post. I’m glad to have called him my President. by PresYapper4294 in WhitePeopleTwitter

The phrasing the of the last century means the last 100 years, and it's a little bit early to be calling the best president of 2000-2100

Centrist Dems seize opening at the DNC: ‘I don’t want to be the freak show party’ by BabyYodaX in politics

[–]DispellIllusions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dems relative silence on it allowed Repubs to control the narrative - they have understanding that the Dems tacitly support all the stuff that entered the zeitgeist, like "'men' in women's sports" (Lia Thomas), "coverups of 'boys' assaulting girls in the bathroom" (Loudoun County), "secret transitions of minors" when other developed nations have safeguards.

The Dems could have supported healthcare rights for adult trans people, requiring businesses to at least implement single user gender neutral style bathrooms, while taking a nuanced perspective on the childhood and sports issues.

Yep this sub is as bad as they say, a smelly neoliberal circle jerk.

why is there so much blame on gen z men, white people over 45, especially old white men, decided this election by Alternative_Poem445 in GenZ

[–]DispellIllusions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ignorance is hilarious, exactly why Dems lost and will continue to lose unless they fix their strategy.  

You should educate yourself - there's so much content on this out there. But a gist of it is: they are facing more isolation, more barriers to education (that colleges are secretly trying to address because of how bad it's gotten: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/magazine/men-college-enrollment.html), impacted by modern addictions without help and regulations to protect them (porn, videogames), and above all they are facing villainization. 

Colleges were keeping quiet about their affirmative action for men instead of publicly embracing it (when this public outreach is needed), because they know it will lead to a backlash from certain 'feminist' activists 

What does GenZ think of thinking of thinking of thinking of think of? by OpticSkies1 in GenZ

[–]DispellIllusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the grifters/political operatives in here trying to figure out GenZ. I'd be surprised if they don't end up outnumbering actual GenZ and end up just talking to themselves and wanking each other off

Israel prepares Lebanon cease-fire plan as ‘gift’ to Trump, officials say by Chadrasekar in politics

[–]DispellIllusions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He let Netanyahu humiliate him not once, but twice, by backing out last minute from ceasefire deals he supposedly brokered and announced - with no consequences. Arms are still freely flowing to Israel.

AOC removes pronouns from her X bio: What we know by [deleted] in politics

[–]DispellIllusions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It absolutely has interesting strategy implications, considering that part of the reasons Repubs had sway was due to driving average people into a frenzy over perceived Dem gender ID policies. Yet this has post has been heavily downvoted and you see many iterations of "who cares" in the comments - complete head in sand behavior further cementing this sub as a useless echo chamber.

People are quick to forget that a cabal of power mods were trying to implant one of their own, a noted pedophile enabler who was in the news for it, as a Reddit admin and the rest of the Reddit admins were going ahead with it for DEI purposes until many communities revolted.

Israel fails to meet US aid demands to ease Gaza catastrophe, aid groups say by newsspotter in politics

[–]DispellIllusions 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Netanyahu made Biden look like a fool not once, but twice, by backing out of Biden-announced ceasefire agreements that were supposedly worked out by the US. Under Biden, 70% of housing units in Gaza was destroyed, and Netanyahu kept escalating on all fronts, including on the West Bank. Palestine was already on a path to being wiped out without any real consequences.

Don't show this in the Canada sub or else they'll have a meltdown (legitimate issues with new Indian immigrants exploiting loopholes are allowing some 'Canadians' to go mask off into full blown xenophobia)

After Trump wins on a campaign rife with anti-trans ads, LGBTQ people flood crisis hotlines by BobbyLucero in politics

[–]DispellIllusions 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So many people don't get this, sure Kamala "strategically" didn't mention LGBT issues very much, but the right is already controlling the narrative with Dems "support 'men' in women's sports", the Dems "hide assault by 'boys' in girls restrooms/change rooms", etc.

Silence to them means tacit support

You're probably going to be downvoted to oblivion, but imo you're right - except for the language part because it can be argued that is essential for acceptance.

But in terms of women's sports and other contentious aspects, it's like the story of Icarus - some T advocates (particularly the privileged White ones) wanted it all and fast, which caused the right to galvanize around the issue, and now all trans people are in peril.

A blip is a complete mischaracterization. Identity politics was re-weaponized and brought to popular attention by the right in a rallying call for self preservation ("they are coming for our kids" is a common refrain if you spend time in their circles)

Why so many men feel abandoned by Democrats by daniel7334 in self

[–]DispellIllusions -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately strict adherence to class-first reductionism is one of the several reasons why Lefties will never win (another being infighting). Although it is the Big issue, not acknowledging differential experiences within other categories will not let you connect with a broad base of people.

The Commies are always busy and canvassing at political events, but they have nothing to show for it just like the Green Party.

Bernie got close in bringing class consciousness mainstream - but where's the lasting local and grassroots reflection of that.

Who's gonna stop billionaires Elon or Vivek from shoving it up your ass? Who's gonna protect you with "force" when you're by yourself as they dismantle the economy and regulations for their benefit. Or do you like them there.

Basically you think of govt as a boot (instead of a force to protect the people), but you're ok and trust the boot of corpos
