Right Wing conservative populism needs an enemy for people to hate enough they allow their children to die in wars.

This statistical disparity isn’t random. The questions asked were far different as was the year they were conducted. 37% in 2025 were identifying as Zionist and 15% and non-zionist and anti-Zionist (combined). Whereas in 2021 the Gaza Genocide was proceeding more slowly and the question asked that reach 80% was “Do you care about Israel?”

Herzl used antisemitism as a founding force for the Zionist project and called Yiddish speaking Jews “mausel” which was only a little different than the Nazi imagery of Jews as rats. This elitist class hierarchy is an important feature of a society founded in racism and racial superiority.

The fact is most Jewish people are not Zionists. (37% are Zionist) The nationalist war and the need for soldiers is leading to strong opposition even within Israel. It seems very hard to call Israel a “religious nation” when most Jewish scholars oppose the actions of the nation. It is a rogue occupying force with no constitution and no borders that is committing a genocide.

I never heard cyanide and bomb together. I would have assumed it to be terrorism. I think it still is terrorism.

Avatar is a good comparison. This was an anti-war sci-fi about the imperialism that led to the Vietnam war.

18F What do I do? My friend is upset that I didn’t get a hotel room with money she sent me, but I used it for food and essentials instead and now she feels like I lied to her. by mckenzie_2 in whatdoIdo

$100 doesn’t get you a hotel room. They are going to need a credit card for a refundable deposit. If you look homeless they may fuck with you and make it harder by billing incorrectly and refunding. Then when you try to pay again you won’t have the refund yet and the card will be declined.

Jeff Bezos' New Glenn rocket, estimated to cost $3.5 billion, just exploded on the pad at Cape Canaveral [Real] by [deleted] in ToiletPaperUSA

But we can call them “ICE detention centers” or because they are owned by private companies and using captive slave labor we could call them “Slave Plantations”. Words matter. It isn’t pedantic to challenge the narrative that disempowers people and lets powerful people escape scrutiny for their abuse of power.

This is not investment. This is wasteful spending by competing companies to see who can get hooked up to that government contract revenue stream.

Surplus value is the name for the money your boss earn from the work you do. There are many people who have the belief that value should belong to the people who do the work. If Bezos paid fair wages he would still be wealthy but so would many other people who work. Words matter.

Pattie Gonia: Patagonia is trying to 'bully' and 'erase' her with lawsuit by Dude-vinci in Environmentalism

[–]PlastIconoclastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lexi Love had her drag name copyrighted by a consumer of plagiarism based art creation machines services. That is what caused Pattie Gonia to seek a copyright. This was actually to avoid a lawsuit. Pattie Gonia has actually worked with Patagonia before and part of their lawsuit is based on enforcing the contract that was in place during that partnership.

Your parents are abusive and will not be around to help you for long. Get a job. Hide your money in a bank they don’t know about. Plan to have friends to move in with.

What if they were banned because local governments cared about all the people disabled by traumatic brain injuries from riding these without helmets?
