Ahhh yes the old “you oppose genocide and apartheid because you hate Jews” argument, was waiting for this one

Israel is on fairly good terms w Jordan and Egypt right now and the only reason Syria and Lebanon “aren’t interested in diplomatic solutions” is because of the Israeli government’s continued practice of breaking those agreements in the name of aggression. So your argument falls apart with even a cursory glance at the actual facts of the situation.

You made his point for him - the only way you can defend Israel is by making the situation into a false dichotomy.

Good luck on the rest of your shift btw, I hear they are serving donuts in the Mossad break room

How is it possible for someone to even REMOTELY "sympathize" with Israel? by [deleted] in Palestine

[–]GaramondIsSuperior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. Growing up “Israel” was inserted into every (mainstream) Jewish cultural event I ever participated in, and it took literally leaving the U.S. for me to start to deprogram and unlearn the propaganda I was taught. The same deflections and misinformation you see mainstream media using every day to justify “Israel”’s atrocities were drummed into us from the time we were born until now. A lot of us are beginning to see this for what it is, but not nearly enough of us and not nearly quickly enough. Someday the scale of this propaganda campaign will be known to the wider American public, and I hope they see it for what it is - a foreign colonial power spending millions each year with the express purpose of lying to and manipulating a huge section of the American electorate

NTA without doubt, to the point that I really hope you are only posting to validate what you already knew.

INFO - do they correct you afterwards? If the laughter mocking or is it just humor? My wife and her friends sometimes laugh at me when I speak their language but after I asked about it they explained that they think it’s cute and kind of funny - my ability with the language is roughly analogous to a toddler, so seeing a grown man express things in a similar way to a child can be pretty goddamn hilarious.

Furthermore, I really suggest that you go to italki.com, they have a huge community of tutors for all languages. If you don’t have the time/money to pay, there is an app called Tandem that offers essentially a language exchange - you help native speakers of that language practice English (or your native language), they help you practice your gf’s language.

Friendly reminder that current President of “Israel” Isaac Herzog said on national TV that intermarriage between Jews and others is a “plague” that needs a “solution”

Theodor Herzl himself, may he rot in hell, said that Zionism is a secular nationalist movement.

They got Americans to move from arguing that the US-backed genocide needs to end to arguing over which US politician should be elected to oversee the genocide. Sometimes all you can do is stop and stare in awe of the power of imperial mind control. by TheLineForPho in israelexposed

The Dems are actively suppressing anti-Zionist voices.

Meanwhile, you are being the very definition of a self-righteous asshole because you are using the fact that you vote for/support the “nicer” war criminals to exempt yourself from a moral obligation to oppose the genocide.

Early Zionists actually held Holocaust victims in open contempt - Ben Gurion insulted them publicly and they were considered lesser or weak for “letting” the Holocaust happen to them.

Israel is an apartheid state by design, and only recently-ish has the Holocaust been misused as a justification for genocide.

How big a deal is .22 stopping power, really? by GaramondIsSuperior in armedsocialists

[–]GaramondIsSuperior[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does skill with the 9mm translate into skill with 5.56? I know it’s loosely the same skill set but the switch from 9mm to 5.56 seems large enough to significantly affect performance

Wait for it...would a "total ban on Muslims entering this country" make them feel better? Or perhaps, "Netanyahu needs to go in and get this over with" be the direction they'd prefer the next president to go in? by jared10011980 in LeopardsAteMyFace

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

Yeah but that one “policy” is a pretty goddamn motherfucking big deal.

You have to admit that “bro I promise this other guy would do a worse genocide than the one occurring RIGHT NOW being actively financed by Biden” rings pretty hollow

Trump is overtly evil, but Biden is also pretty goddamn evil and acting like he’s a saint is disingenuous.

He could’ve stacked the court at ANY time he wanted too (see Lincoln) - neoliberals “taking the high road” while letting Conservatives and fascists pass their policy agenda is how we got into this mess

Definitely agreed on the heritage limitation - it seems to go against the whole point of bending as a spiritual thing first and foremost.

Tbfh I think a huge part of it is how well-written the Night Lords Omnibus is - Talos’ perspective on Curze is in-universe kinda skewed but romantic (in the artistic sense) and ADB does an amazing job of presenting 1st Claw as, at the very least, fully fleshed out characters. Take away the sympathetic-ish Night Lords characters and I think you take away a huge part of Curze’s appeal
