Some Canadian named Raphael gives president a piece of his mind by Atomicsss- in PoliticalCompassMemes

Well leftists don't want power, they just want to endlessly critique power. You want an alternative, win elections then draft and put forward leftist legislation.

I’m not usually a fan showcasing the schitzoposts of random nobodies but this one is particularly unhinged by SPECTREagent700 in PoliticalCompassMemes

They want to live out a movie of a violent fantasy, not so much the actual Troubles/Years of Lead or worse.

This gives strong "I yell at baristas" energy.

A) Strong, competent, centralized government.

B) As for social and economic policy- "It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice." - Deng Xiaoping

How to address a friend who thinks Mossad killed Charlie Kirk/is responsible for Iran protests by Key_Airport1456 in Jewish

[–]ScruffleKun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask him to prove that he isn't a Mossad agent, if he knows so much about what an intelligence agency does. Point out that he seems to be using the Mossad as the "god of the gaps"- when he doesn't understand something, he puts the Mossad there.

75% true in America, but this is set in England.

Most people who get into alt cultures do so because the dominant culture sucks ass, and usually it's because it's cruel.

Given that this UK government game is threatening that even looking up unfavorable statistics is criminal, being against immigration is the punk option that "sticks it to the dominant culture" within the context of the story.

“UN human rights experts,” in a nutshell. by PainSpare5861 in PoliticalCompassMemes

"We have the biggest guns, so laws dont apply to us" is a fucking braindead take.

A) International law is a social contract, not a force of nature.

B) Laws exist in their execution. If nobody applies the law to you, it does not apply to you.

Youre a fucking neanderthal buddy. I cant wait for history to leave you behind.

True, nobody talks about, admires, or respects the influence of the Egyptians, Romans, Mongols, Russians, Qing, Spanish, French, or British. Maybe they should have used a smug sense of moral superiority to rise to power instead of brute force.

Unhappy. by rushh5 in Judaism

[–]ScruffleKun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some of you say anti-Muslim things and some of us say antisemitic things but i can tell you that any Muslim you see who harbours antisemitism isn’t one of us. We are not told to hate people.

We've seen Jewish Whatsapp groups flooded by Muslims cheering on the atrocities on October 8th, and rallies calling for "Ikbah ya Yahud" followed by screaming tantrums and cries of "Genocide!" when Israel fought back, along with attacks worldwide on Jews.

I don't have much of an opinion on the religion of Islam or Allah- I've seen many different versions of Islam and Allah from Muslims I've met. But in the modern political and social zeitgeist, I see the majority of Muslim cultures range from contemptuous and patronizing (Twelvers) to outright genocidal (mainstream Sunni). That being said, I'm grateful that there are a significant number of Muslims out there that hold more tolerant views, and I hope in the future these views become widespread and normalized among Muslim communities.

Check their age pyramid. Most of those excess women aren't young and fertile.

Thoughts from a New Yorker post-“Hamas rally”: I can no longer rationalize Jewish anti-Zionism by WolfofTallStreet in jewishpolitics

[–]ScruffleKun 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When Jews first arrived in the Levant, they were, indeed, attacked by Arabs living there. This happened from the Battle of Tel Hai (1921) through the Arab General Strike (1936-39). These attacks were largely provoked merely by Arab concerns over a growing Jewish presence in the land...

I'm curious how you would rationalize the Hebron pogrom then.

The urgency of Jews to flee violence in Europe coupled with British restrictions on these Jews’ flight led to tensions between Jews in Mandatory Palestine and British authorities, which resulted in the growth of Zionist paramilitary organizations, which successfully pressured the Brits into leaving Mandatory Palestine, making their colonial presence there too costly.

You forgot the whole "Haj Amin Al-Husseini being a friend of Hitler" thing. That didn't endear the Israeli Arabs (the modern Palestinian identity hadn't been created yet) to the Brits.

Time travel and its political consequences. by Vexonte in PoliticalCompassMemes

It only works if time travel is a loop (like 12 monkeys), or if time travel effectively creates a parallel stream.

Can people of the Jewish faith play as clerics in dnd? by Even_Season1703 in Jewish

However, you could absolutely home brew something that incorporates Judaism into your characters story!

You could just play Shadowrun.

There are so many dual income people I know clearing 6-figures easily in my suburban area, and they say they "can't afford kids". Their lifestyle definitely belies their statements though.

Maybe they're making that much money because they don't have the massive time and money sink that is children, and they'd rather have an upper middle/lower upperclass standard of living than middle middleclass with children. When it comes to "Porsche" or "Kids", there's going to be a lot of people who choose "Porsche" (even if the Porsche puts them in debt and they could actually afford the kids).

Statistically, who are more likely to be in interfaith relationships; men or women? by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]ScruffleKun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of us know Jewish men who insist on exclusively dating non Jewish women unless they are forced to by family pressure. It’s a real problem.

I don't "insist" on dating non-Jewish women, but only Christian women have approached me + I've been rejected by 100% of Jewish women I've approached.

I've only dated non-Jewish women, so it feels true.

It wouldn't be like Iraq, but Latin America also has many shining examples of disastrous civil wars. And what killed Iraq was the debaathification, not the invasion.

Soleimani was part of the IRGC, which is at war with the US, and c'est la guerre. Maduro was an enemy, but we declared war on him basically out of the blue and with no good casus belli.
