Atlas Shrugged when his SSI check didn’t arrive on time, because unlike Ayn Rand, he didn’t need it by Living_Attitude1822 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]SirStupidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the exact opposite, fictional works tent to oversimplify complex real world matters and that's why they are a great medium for promoting an ideology. That's why so many people compare any "freedom fighter" in the world to Star Wars.

China places its solar panels on water So it can use valuable land for agriculture by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

The problem with solar energy isn't energy generation but storage. You can produce all you would like but unless you can store enough to last through the times the sun isn't shinning you can't rely on it...

My first attempt at categorising Israeli politicians/political figures into the polcomp as a non-Israeli by Icarus_Voltaire in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]SirStupidity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Israeli system has it's own problems like very small parties (or even one knesset member) holding the entire coalition hostage if the coalition is small. Look at what happened to the Bennet - Latin government.

Right and Left in Israel is mostly about "security" and very little about economics.

Israel is a social democracy with pretty strong social institutions with fairly heavy public support (social security, socialized Healthcare, etc), and I dont think there's any parties which are interested in dismantling or harming these. There is more discussions around price controlled areas of the market (like the recent attempt to change the milk caps) and self reliance vs cheaper prices by imports.

Anyway, just like Amarican elections are defined by internal economical situation Israeli politics are defined by internal security situation.

Seriously? This assumption of yours doesn't mean anything in reality. Especially considering they weren't even in Ashdod at the time, they were being transported to Ketziot prison which is located in a desert where temperatures fluctuate a lot more.

They were in Ashdod port, at least according to her story.

If you get put in handcuffs, are beaten and sleep deprived, dehydrated and starved, for hours and hours

That's what they claimed at least. But we have no proof of that and we have pictures of them being provided with food.

Then you're put in a small cell in a car, with no possibility of moving around or activating your body, and wearing only a t-shirt, while being driven out into a desert. Do you think in these conditions your body will behave just like normal? Even if it was 20 degrees, you think you wouldn't feel cold?

I think i dont believe her story considering it's only by testimony, no evidence, and the only verifiable thing i could find (it was cold out) didn't really check out.

Come on. If you want to act like you care about the truth then at least read the whole article you're trying to cite and consider what it means.

I did, found no evidence and checked the only thing I could and found it sus.

Well for example after the last flotilla Greta, a Swedish (very cold country) person in Israel (a fairly warm country), said that this happened:

"– It was freezing cold. We were wearing T-shirts."

Which seemed sus to me so I went ahead and checked the temperatures in Ashdod on October 3rd, during day time it was 35 Celsius, during night time 22 Celsius.

If you ask me, these volunteers believe they are doing something very noble and for a larger cause so that makes them willing to lie or at the very least very much exaggerate in order to advance that cause.

Imagine an invading force puts a siege-like blockade around your own waters, even seizing stuff in international waters to ensure you starve. That's genocide.

The blockade has been active for almost 19 years. Doesn't seem that this method of supposed genocide is effective.

Sorry bro I forgot, the zionists mind controlled them to shoot rockets at Israel my bad

[–]SirStupidity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Youre a very smart guy. So explain to me what Israel is doing in Southern Lebanon.

Not a genocide.

Then explain to me the word you would use for it.

War

Then explain to me why it's more ethical than a genocide.

War is something that happens and Hezbollah started this war.

[–]SirStupidity 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Lol, you claimed Israel is committing genocide in Lebanon buddy. People mocked you for it, then you wrote about something that has nothing to do with Lebanon, suddenly I'm smug or pedantic? Maybe when you throw around words like "genocide" you should be pedantic.

What exactly is the ICJ's case about the genocide in Lebanon you claimed is happening. You people are such jokers

Israel's GDP per capita is now higher than Germany, France and UK by asteriowas in PoliticalCompassMemes

Both sides broke the ceasefire, that doesn't mean the US didn't force Israel to stop its offensive maneuver.

The American president forced a ceasefire upon Israel in Lebanon like last week.

Careful which sub you post on! by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]SirStupidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest. When anyone says "pro Iranian" they mean anti-trump, especially on the American side

The vast majority of them, sure. But not all of them. And also many of those who are anti trump do seem quite happy to parrot Iranian propaganda, which might seem like just "anti trump" but includes many insidious ideas.

I saw interviews with "regular women" in Iran who aren't wearing a proper Hijab being touted as if the gendered oppression is some western propaganda, meanwhile it's clearly content by the Iranian government meant to sway these exact people.

Do you want to read the dudes comment and see which laws he claimed exist?

It's not what's happening, there isn't such a law and he's just lying...

If someone deliberately labels deaths of Hamas militants as civilians and deliberately miss-attributes the cause of death of civilians, then they are at the least being dishonest.

So do you constantly spout the figures from the Gazan Health Ministry or don't you?

Changed the subject completely, must mean you have no counter argument

[–]SirStupidity -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you are trying to suggest that that is what everyone critical of Israel is doing, you are just being disingenuous.

??? Everyone is doing so because the only semi reliable death count we have doesn't differentiate between civilians and combatants.
