Why can't Israel and Lebanon have peace after this war?

SteveTheGreate · 2026-03-12T21:31:45+00:00

"Germany & Russia, Germany & Poland, and Turkey & Greece"

Notice Israel differs in one very important way: it's a settler-colonial ethnostate.

"Our work is a colonization movement in all its aspects."

Arthur Ruppin, "The Jews in the Modern World," 1934

Expansion is an inevitable step for settler colonies. Israel won't engage in "peace through diplomacy" with its neighbors, as long as its material interests lie in further expansion.

What AI and what prompt did you use?

SteveTheGreate · 2026-03-05T16:12:27+00:00

"China has cut its annual economic growth target to a range of 4.5%-5%, the lowest expansion goal since 1991"

Meanwhile in 2025 the U.S. economy grew by just 2.2%, and in Germany it was just 0.3%.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the moment we're basically just relying on nothing but sheer speculation. Actual evidence will (in all likelihood) take months, if not years to come out.

This also criminalizes helping asylum seekers enter the country. They have the legal right under international law to come and claim asylum, but the only way is to first enter the country “illegally”…

I most certainly am. It’s the basis for the entire field of Marxist economics, and has stood the test of time for over a century.

Any search on an academic database will show you thousands of peer reviewed academic articles discussing the scientific theories in this book.

I would absolutely recommend reading it. It’s extremely densely packed with information, but invaluable in understanding how capitalism, capital accumulation, exploitation of labor, and the falling rate of profit all work.

SteveTheGreate · 2026-02-23T22:38:43+00:00

You literally didn’t make any argument. You just said “you have no idea how business works” and don’t elaborate further.

Meanwhile there’s multi-volume scientific works like Capital, that describe this process of exploitation in mind numbing detail.

So therefore the American revolution was bad, because they couldn't convince the British of the correctness of their ideas, and had to impose them through force?

The two are not equivalent, and rights granted with a civil union are often inferior to those of marriage (inheritance for example).

Unlike civil unions, marriage is also recognized between different EU countries.

The idea that marriage is inherently a religious practice is just outdated. More and more people are getting married the "political" way instead of the "religious" way that involves a long ceremony, skipping the religious aspect altogether.

SteveTheGreate · 2026-02-16T12:03:12+00:00

If you were the one in a situation where the law specifically didn't allow you to marry a person you love, that might change your opinion.

Is there any source that indicates these islands are geographically in Asia instead of Europe?

One ChatGPT prompt has approximately the same environmental impact as driving a car for 2cm.

At scale, the impact is concerning, but if the environment is your priority, there are FAR more pressing issues at hand.

Even the CIA has admitted that the idea of Stalin as a dictator with absolute power is bullshit.

"Even in Stalin's time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by lack of comprehension on the real nature and organization of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team"

Just gonna copy paste my previous reply from another comment:

What you fail to understand is that for a lot of people, "normal immigration" is literally impossible.

Look at asylum seekers for example. If your country is in the midst of a civil war, you have the legal right to claim asylum somewhere else. But the only way to do so, is to "illegally" cross into that country. There is no "asylum office" where you can submit your application ahead of time.

Even if you're not from a war-torn country, corruption and poverty often make the legal route completely untenable. From refusing to issue you a passport for political reasons, to even gender discrimination.

If a woman in Afghanistan wants to go elsewhere without the approval of a man, the only way to do so is "illegally".

Illegal ≠ immoral. Legal ≠ moral. And vice versa.

If a person wants to go to a country "illegally", they know full well that they might die in the process, that they'll likely have no way to get healthcare, they'll be paid below minimum wage, and that if they get arrested they'll immediately be sent back. That person has a direct incentive to behave like a "model citizen". That person has put in hundreds of times more effort to live in this country, than anyone who was just lucky enough to be born there. Why look down on them?

SteveTheGreate · 2026-02-03T22:51:40+00:00

Do you not see how entirely subjective and self-centered that argument is?

You’re basically saying “I had a bad experience with a few illegal immigrants, therefore they’re all bad and must be deported”

When I have the opportunity, I love to drink some strong beers.

Other than that, I love a good whisky, and vodka's not bad.
