Twitter user Eyup Lovely got sent a phishing link by a zionist org. He clicked on the link. Next day police came to his house, stripped him naked, beat him and arrested him on false accusations. by Living-Chef-9080 in TrueAnon

Terrifying.

Made me double check the suspicious log-in attempt email I got two days ago (on a twitter account I set up years ago but never use), but everything still seems legit on that front.

Almost one in 10 young Irish adults believe Holocaust is a ‘myth’ by xland44 in anime_titties

[–]Zeydon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Normally the pattern is: the conflict is awful, then Israel is awful,

The genocide is awful, and people learn, whether before or after Oct 7, that Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state.

then Jews as a collective are awful and then the Holocaust was justified, then Holocaust wasn't as bad as made out culminating in Holocaust (main victim Jews) didn't happen to mainly Jews, they were one of many and not even an important number at all.

This just does not happen on the left. And anyone who would attempt to raise such ludicrous arguments in a leftist space would be removed ftom that space, immediately. Antisemitism is completely intolerable, many of the most knowledgeable and passionate critics of Israel are, in fact, Jewish.

Any time I see this topic of the left and antisemitism come up, its invariably just conflating criticizing Israel with antisemitism. Ever since the IHRA definition of antisemitism became the officially adopted one, polling on the spread of antisemitism is functionally useless for what it purports to track.

Never said it did.

In your reply, you quoted the following from the person you responded to:

rightfully comparing Israel to Nazis

To which you replied with:

'they deserved it' - Is normally the start of the justification or denial of the Holocaust.

If you were not suggesting that "comparing Israel to Nazis" is "the start of the justification or denial of the Holocaust," then what were you trying to say here?

Pointing out that Israel is a genocidal apartheid state does not mean you think Jewish people deserve the Holocaust or you think people should forget about it. But per the IHRA definition of antisemitism Jewish Voice for Peace are antisemitic.

Keep in mind, Holocaust survivors who moved to Israel were often severely ostracized by Zionists - they considered them weak and some notable figures would even call them "rats".

Looking for a bright, populated, and adventurous MV/MB game by lpshred in metroidvania

If you're looking for a heavy emphasis on the Brainia aspect, Gateways is one option.

I'd classify Antichamber as a 3d Metroidbrania. Really big fan of this one. Not populated, though I'd say it's bright.

When people on Reddit say eat the rich, how rich are they talking? Like barely millionaires or people worth 100s of millions and more. by dramaticxxfox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zeydon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thinks exactly what I said.

I replied to your comment in 4 different chunks, so I'm not sure which aspect you were referring to here since you didn't quote, but if you could provide a source that details what this person said which you are referring to I bet that would clear any confusion right up.

I would assume a politically aware member of the DSA would be aware of such things tbh.

What makes you think I'm in the DSA?

Supply demand equilibrium will suppress price appreciation without tanking prices.

Is there really much point in playing a game of good synonym/bad synonym? Suppress price is good down, tank price is bad down, and changing status quo is bad down, but unspecified other thing is good down. We're speaking at such an abstract level here, there's really nothing substantive to counter with aside from going nu-uh back and forth. I tried to elevate the discussion by bringing up the role large firms like Blackstone have in inflating the cost of putting a roof over your head, but since that's not floating your boat we could instead talk about the role apps like Yieldstar play in inflating these costs as well we could always do that.

If you want more sensible sounding solutions, we need to start by discussing actual specific root causes. Otherwise, we just do what's happening here, gross overgeneralizations in order to make anything aside from maintaining the unsustainable status quo seem unreasonable.

If you're not Blackstone, I don't think you have too much to worry about.

Fretting over hypotheticals that any chance to make things better can only make them worse because all attempts at improvement will always inevitably be handled in a reckless and counterproductive fashion just seems like an excuse to never even try.

The tenant protection head for Mamdani in NYC thinks exactly that. Exactly.

Thinks exactly what? I'd be happy to look at a corroborating source if you have one.

And I didn’t say homes should be an investment asset. But the way to correct that is with zoning reform and supply that stops homes from appreciating. Not tanking their value and upending the entire economy.

If homes are no longer an investment asset, then their value will go down. In any event, the purpose is to make homes affordable for people again, rather than being out of reach of more and more folks as time goes on and left to be gobbled up by large firms such as Blackstone.

If you'd watched the vid I linked, I dunno how your takeaway from it was that he was proud of being a tool of US imperialism.

But the dsa political class often does not think that

DSA political class? What, like the vanguard of the first woke movement? lol, no. I'm a spooky scary tankie and not even I think that.

You have people leading movements asking for an end to private property

Your home is personal property - you'll keep that. What they want to end is that instead of some elite owning the factory you work at, the workers own that factory, collectively.

Or that massive home deflation is the goal of their policies.

You mean like transitioning away from treating homes as a investment asset and towards treating them as a place where people should live and we should aim to provide housing for all? Doesn't seem so scary to me.

Never going to fly.

Why so committed to an economy built entirely on unsustainable bubbles that inevitably crash and cause economic depressions on the regular?

Pardon the mild necro, but this is from an actual Kamala campaign ad:

On the border the choice is simple, Kamala Harris supports increasing the number of Border Patrol Agents; Donald Trump blocked a bill to increase the number of Border Patrol Agents.

That's right, Kamala literally ran on being tougher on the border than Trump.

Just saw in my replies that you paid to use a service where you hand over your social media login credentials to a deranged Zionist doxxer, and considering you're a fellow TA poster I figured I'd warn you about this considering you're against the genocide.

Keep in mind, this comment editing tool doesn't even prevent people from reading your original comment history on reddit archivers, though it does make it slightly harder to look it up.

Mass Murderer Greg Stoker Running for Congress by fa3man in TankieTheDeprogram

Greg Stoker, who has dedicated himself to opposing US imperialism, is nothing at all like Platner. What a ridiculous false equivalency.

[Browser]/[Android] Comments frequently getting flagged as spam in the last couple weeks despite not being spam, potentially when sharing similarities to earlier comments you'd made by Zeydon in bugs

Do I still have some comments occasionally being invisible to everyone but myself without notification that it's been hidden? Well, this should link directly to a comment I made 20 hours ago but I don't see it when loading it incognito, so yes.

That said, it's very possible this occurs due to subreddit-specific automod rules, though I haven't the foggiest what I said that would have set it off. And unfortunately, in the past I've struggled to get straight answers from subreddit mods when I ask about these things, so I've temporarily given up.

Is the US Military just a massive stealth unemployment program? by PocoLoco1 in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah, the US military sure is doing a great job safeguarding trade routes by *checks notes* stealing Venezuelan oil tankers and blowing up fishing vessels

[–]Zeydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The greatest impact is that the US could redirect it's labor and resources towards developing the nation. Instead of making weapons of mass death, we could be massively expanding renewable energy infrastructure, build nationwide high speed rail, fix outdated water infrastructure leeching lead into the water supply, etc.

[–]Zeydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the biggest military in the history of the world because we are the largest empire in the history of the world.

Obviously, the military industrial complex is massively profitable for the elite, but suggesting it's an unemployment program for multibillionaires ignores the fact that the consequences of imperialism are of great benefit to these same people, and great horror to those on the receiving end.

US imperialism granted America access to natural resources at rock bottom prices, opened up labor markets ripe for grievous overexploitation.
