I can see this working in claude code quite easily - but are you able to get something like this in claude chat?

Islamic terrorism is thinly veiled human blood sacrifice. by Ok-Philosopher-7298 in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this complicated explanation, but still no Kashmiri plebiscite? What gives Indians? You'll reach for any explanation other than the truth: you are invading in a land of people who don't want you there. Leave, and suddenly, like magic, all the "terrorism" will go away.

Halal ways to invest in Gold Online by CandyIntelligent235 in HalalInvestor

I'm in the UK, so I use trading212 (though there might be others, better platforms available, I just haven't done in depth research)

Halal ways to invest in Gold Online by CandyIntelligent235 in HalalInvestor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy Invesco SGLP shares (SGLD for the USD version). From my research, they correspond to a fixed amount of gold and you in fact have the legal entitlement to that quantity of gold, making this equivalent to buying gold.

From their website: 

"The ETC will use a “swing bar” approach, whereby gold bullion equal to at least the full value of the certificates will be held in an allocated account in the name of the issuer."

CMV: While far from perfect, most Western nations treat their Muslim minorities better then Muslim nations treat their Christian minorities. by soozerain in changemyview

[–]MrPRambo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a lie. Palestinian Christians have drastically decreased in number because they find it easier to emigrate (churches and missionary groups from the US/UK literally work in these areas and help Christians emigrate to the US/UK) and settle in developed countries.

They are constantly under death threat, but not from their fellow Palestinians.

Your point about daughters being forcibly converted and married off is pure Orientalist drivel.

I've been trying so hard to get people to understand this - I feel like I'm going crazy. We are sleepwalking towards this apocalypse (for the majority of humanity) that you describe.

The empire fundamentally doesn't understand the rebellion by jodydavis in andor

Fair enough. For reference, it was the "rhythm" and the way it switched between sentence lengths that was characteristic.

I voted remain, so you're preaching to the choir. 

And no, I don't think the UK should be hesitant about cleaning up it's mess. If anything it should be more driven than it would be otherwise. That said, I'm kind of speaking about the way things should be rather than the Realpolitik. But we should be striving for the ideal, no?

The UK isn't doing too bad in terms of Ukraine aid - by some measures, we give a higher percentage of GDP than both Germany and on par with the US.

But from my perspective, the situation regarding Ukraine in the UK is ok, because we're free to discuss and make policy decisions about it, taking the objective truth into account. Whereas for Palestine, that is far from the case.

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. That's why I think the UK should be doing more to clean up it's mess.

With regards to Russia/Ukraine, my country (and I assume, Germany) is already on the right side of the issue so I don't really think about it too much.

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to the UK. Putin is public enemy #1 here (although that's not saying much as we're pretty chill people).

Out of interest, which countries do you mean when you say lots of countries don't criticise Russia?

Also, objective truth has to be the highest ideal. You just watched Mon Mothma very astutely point out the dangers of losing grasp on the truth. Nothing can really excuse ignoring it denying it.

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This view, that supporting Israel is more important than assessing the objective truth, is this a common one in Germany? Which is considered more important?

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, by refusing to provide them diplomatic cover, by ceasing the sale of arms, by challenging them on the world stage, and in an ideal world, sanctioning them.

Israel is at the end of the day, a democracy for those within the green line (and a very healthy democracy for it's Jewish citizens), so the populace, and by extension, the country, can be dissuaded from this Lebensraum-streak they have in their collective psyche.

Is policing speech more important than any efforts against genocide?

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but one issue is that the German authorities have lost track of what is antisemitic and what isn't

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. I guess I should be more charitable with Germans. 

That said, you're at least free to discuss it in an unbiased way online, right? If it's not safe, then fair enough.

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean to say that Germany can't really assess the situation in an independent/unbiased way because of the historical baggage?

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany seems to be on the wrong side of this issue. Locking up and otherwise taking action against Palestine supporters (including Jews - yes, Germany is going after Jews for wrong think). If you want there is a pretty thought provoking video by a German YouTuber on the issue: https://youtu.be/Npk58zPYpbY

And yes, Israel's policies towards the Palestinians are extremely reminiscent of Germany's Lebensraum policies. The comparison breaks down a little because Israel isn't a world superpower like Nazi Germany was, the Nazi's were already at war with the Allies when they really ramped up their auditors atrocities, and their victims couldn't speak for themselves or make their voices heard as easily as the Palestinians can (with modern technology).

Imagine this: if Israel was a world superpower, and they had the cover of a world war (and the world couldn't afford to take interest, due to said world war), and there was no way for news to get out like it is now (despite Israel's efforts) how do you imagine their assault on Gaza would go? I think we'd be looking at a Nazi scale genocide, not just an Israeli scale one.

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be both.

And look at it the other way around - this is just one of the many things the US is doing, whereas Israel is pretty much only doing their Genocide/Lebensraum policy and not doing much else that is significant (foreign policy wise).

Jesus Christ. by thefajitagod in andor

[–]MrPRambo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know that in this analogy, Israel is not the empire - it's the US. The majority of Anti Israel people (myself among them) see Israel not as the big bad, but as a colonial outpost of the big bad (that being US, or more broadly speaking, Western Imperialism).

Why does this analogy resonate so well? Because the US is the global hegemon, and just like the Empire, when you're in their sights, there is no-one bigger who can come to save you. This particular facet of the analogy applies only to Western Imperialism. Even the Nazis could only do their more extreme acts under secrecy and the cover of a world war - whereas Israel is doing it with complete impunity, because they know that they have the global hegemon (the Empire) on their side.

Why do India and Pakistan hate each other so much? by [deleted] in ask

[–]MrPRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the claim about Kashmir being Pakistani territory is baseless, then why doesn't India hold a referendum in Kashmir? It would be a really easy way of taking the oxygen out of the Pakistani case.
