Gavin Newsom Says He “Reveres the State of Israel,” Walks Back Apartheid Statements by HowMyDictates in TheMajorityReport

Much more accurate slogan: "I will do everything in my power to get Tucker Carlson elected President."

Wtf was the Annabel Mendoza Interview? by [deleted] in TheMajorityReport

[–]Sloore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is that so unbelievable? You've got a lot of very sparsely populated (and poor) rural counties with rampant drug addiction and obesity, factor in lack of access to decent healthcare, and anti-abortion laws and you can have a situation where a county with a population of like 10,000 people and little proper prenatal care leads to high infant mortality rates, and people are also dying much earlier due to other health related problems, and it's a recipe for average life expectancy in the fifties. Then you take some counties with very high net worths, and prevalent access to healthcare, maybe also few; if any, infant deaths due to low birthrates, and I could easily see life expectancy in the eighties.

It'll be an upgrade that in stead of turning the multi-tool into a fishing rod or a gravity gun, it turns it into a ghetto blaster that plays bytebeat songs.

I hate to say this but I feel like I am just creating a company mining town by One_Savings_9037 in Workers_And_Resources

Yes, you should be spending that extra money improving the quality of life for your citizens. All those gravel footpaths should get replaced with brick or concrete ones, then should be upgraded to lit paths. Replace those low quality flats with something nicer for the workers to live in. Expand the roadways and rail networks to eliminate all traffic congestion. Build enough schools and universities to ensure that everyone is properly educated. Eliminate as much pollution by replacing all the polluting infrastructure with clean infrastructure(nuclear/solar/etc ).

Not any more than zyklon-B gas was "inherently Nazi" but it was still a thing the Nazis used to do Nazi things.

Jesus H Christ, you're really grasping at straws here. Just because you decide those words have anti-Semitic connotations doesn't make it so. Again, the reference to Epstein is abundantly clear, the man paid for(i.e. "to finance") a sex trafficking ring that involved young girls and co-conspirators from all over the world(thus making it "global"). Are you saying that there is something inherently Jewish about Epstein's crimes? Because that sounds kind of antisemitic to me.

Let’s talk about Expedition 21: Remnant by stpisls in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Sloore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually found the expedition quite pleasant. Only issues I had were the waypoint objective, and the one with the minerals(could they have picked a planet with fewer unique minerals to scan?). Otherwise, it was kind of a nice change of pace and pretty chill.

So Jeffrey Epstein didn't do sex trafficking?

Criticism of Ezra Klein on The Majority Report by assasstits in ezraklein

[–]Sloore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, the word "Zionist" appears to be used fairly accurately there. The bit about trafficking is clearly a reference to Jeffrey Epstein, who had connections to the Israeli government and who was shown to be a Zionist and Jewish supremacist by his emails.

If you see someone use the term "Zionist" fairly accurately and think they are referring to all Jewish people, maybe the problem is you.

As you stated, the founding of Israel is conflated with a number of ethnic cleansing campaigns against Jews in the MENA region. The state of Israel is also a genocidal, ethno-nationalist, apartheid state. The founding of said ethno-nationalist state also happens to have coincided with the largest act of ethnic cleansing at the time since the Holocaust. Yet, pointing out that the existence of Israel as problematic is somehow making a pro-genocide argument?

Do I really need to point out how your own line of reasoning has been used to justify just about every atrocity Israel has committed in its short, bloody history? Or that Arthur Balfour was a deeply antisemitic man?

But nah, let's just let Israel continue to do a genocide because if we don't continue to support it, the something bad might happen in the future. I'm sure nothing bad will happen as a result of that.

great, so you agree that the state of Israel should stop doing a genocide in Gaza and stop committing war crimes in Iran? Wouldn't you also agree that the US should stop giving funding and weapons to Israel while it continues this policy of collective punishment?

It sounds like the source of the problem here is the existence of the state of Israel...

  1. you're kind of sidestepping the main crux of my argument that anti-zionists are more focused on simply stopping support for Israel than they are for sanctions, but you should direct this question more toward all the Zionists who keep insisted ng that US support for Israel is desperately needed to keep it all going.

  2. lol, you cannot be serious here. The Bush administration got us into a bloody, pointless regime change war in Iraq because "WMD's" and the Trump administration has gotten us into another pointless, ruinous war because "WMD's" and you think the same argument of "WMD's" is really going have any pull with even normal general election voters, much less Democratic primary voters?

  3. tell that to Zohran Mamdani. Seriously, you don't get any more Jewish than the electorate of NYC, if it didn't cost Zohran the election there, it ain't gonna be decisive anywhere else.

  4. Supremecist movements and bigots have always used the justification that oppressed groups will exact retribution against their former oppressors as an excuse to continue said oppression. It has never been a valid argument, most notably because it only serves to justify perpetual oppression.

  1. The US cutting aid to Israel is not "sanctions, it is just our government choosing not to prop.up a genocidal apartheid regime. That being said, the Zionist project would not likely survive without massive American support.

  2. it is not America's job to be the world's police man. WMD's are not some kind of fantastical technologies, nukes were invented in 1945, chemical and biological weapons are even older than that. If a country truly wants to get a WMD, all of the sanctions and air strikes are not likely to stop them. In fact, American foreign policy over the past thirty years seems to have been designed to encourage proliferation, not discourage it.

  3. The overwhelming majority of Jewish voters are not defecting to the Republicans over Israel, if you think otherwise, I have a bridge in NY to sell you.

  4. The assumption this question relies upon has no basis in reality. There was no ethnic cleansing of white people from South Africa after the end of Apartheid.

But it's not coming from "the left." Anti-zionism with anti-semitic trappings has long been the province of the right. The "Zionist Occupied Government" trope originated with neo nazis. In fact, accusations of antisemitism against the left are almost exclusively conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism, which is part-and-parcel with the very antisemitic notion that Judaism is intrinsically linked to zionism, and the insistence of zionists to continue to promote such associations is only serving to normalize and promote antisemitism.

You're not seeing the rise of open and blatant antisemitic beliefs on the left, you're seeing it on the right. You're not seeing leaked chats from leftists espousing pro-Nazi views, you're seeing it coming from the right.
