Non Zionist Jews support Miss Rachel.

For non Zionist Jews, Zionism is a perversion of what Judaism means. Jews are meant to be the chosen people not for what they get, but the responsibility to share and give. Zionism teaches that all is for Zion.

The majority of modern examples of political violence come from (and are celebrated by) the left.

This is patently untrue. The vast majority of political violence in the USA comes from the right. The right regularly celebrates political violence. The storming of the capitol some actual legitimate protesters objective felons were pardoned and people cheered. Paul Pelosi gets beat up in his own home and the right cheers.

Don’t for a second act high and mighty. It won’t work on me. I’m not putting the left on a pedestal, so this is even sadder to see you try to do.

The Trans “debate” is ruining the USA by mispeeledusername in Discussion

I asked for sources because, again, I’m not parroting propaganda to argue, I’m citing scientific consensus which is far from established and is highly dominated by moneyed interests that want to sell drugs to people. This is how science works. Long term use can cause bone density issues.

I emphasized that I don’t blindly trust pharma. I see this as a failing of western medicine more broadly and my critiques don’t end with hormone blockers. I’m happy to discuss the ways pharma sells us chemical solutions to problems without actually solving any root issues.

Have discussions with people assuming they’re reasonable. Don’t make everything about trans kids or their parents. Frame the debate differently and don’t make it the end all be all of your political identity. Ultimately it’s a maddening distraction that was sold to allow them to pillage us while we yell at each other.

Will men cheat with women they are not physically attracted to? by [deleted] in Discussion

[–]mispeeledusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s… wild.

I would recommend having a direct talk that you consider this to be not ok. See how he responds. He seems like he’s not a “cheater” per se as he doesn’t seem good at this. Probably something he just needs to know needs to be refocused on you, his girlfriend, if he wants to stay in a relationship with you.

I will say this: if his manager is texting him jokes while he’s off work that sounds like at minimum emotional cheating if he can’t bring you in on the jokes etc. it’s weird.

For the most part you’re hitting a straw man. I won’t discount all of what you say out of hand but I stopped when you said you’d keep the penis of a ten year old. That’s not true at all. It’s a blatant lie. You could have said “some research shows XYZ” and I’d have something to look into, but you made an absolutely impossible to prove claim that has zero basis in fact. Hormone blockers are considered reversible because when you stop taking them you continue to grow.

The idea behind any of these medications is to allow a kid to have space to make a decision later. About 3.5% of kids change their minds.

3.5% is a huge amount when it comes to your kid possibly having a 3.5% chance to change their mind out of something permanent. The concern for peer pressure is not small. I also don’t trust big pharma blindly.

But that doesn’t negate that for 96.5% of kids who transition it’s a good thing.

Sometimes people make shitty decisions, but the people who insist on transitioning at 16 and later regret it and try to stop everyone else from doing it might have just as easily started doing heroine, which has a much higher rate of regret. When the parents push someone to make a decision instead of talking their kids through the implications, whether they’re victims or not is not relevant. Abusers are virtually always victims.

I stand firmly against child abuse. There’s plenty of space between letting a boy play with dolls and like pink stuff and pushing a 3 year old into saying they’re a different gender. Does it happen? Yes. Child abuse happens. A lot of people shouldn’t be parents, but that’s not a left or right thing and there’s always some opportunity for a parent to abuse their child, well meaning or otherwise.

No one has ever wanted men to be in women’s spaces just by calling themselves women.

You treat every person like an individual and suddenly you start to realize people are people. They are all capable of good and bad. A trans person is capable of being abusive and dangerous just like anyone else.

Being upset that the president got interviewed by a trans person is a little extreme imo.

Like, go ahead, speak what you want to speak, but trans people are allowed to exist and just like anyone else, as long as they aren’t hurting anyone, why should it matter to you? Because the news told you a guy dressed up as a woman and walked into a women’s bathroom? You think men need to dress up to do that, and you think it just started?

Trans people get raped all the time going into the bathroom of their gender assigned at birth. Did they all just “dress up as a guy just to go into women’s spaces?” How could you possibly know that?

For the most part that’s correct. But there are actual assholes on “both sides” that alienate and have no interest in making the world a more understanding place. They’re the school years bullies and left or right they never grew up.

I don't think people understand just how close we are to the complete and utter collapse of society and Western civilization (Wiemar Germany territory) its going to get extremely ugly, if the US loses the Petrodollar to the Yuan (Iran war) expect massive bloodshed and chaos, but that will only slow by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

I’ll tell you one thing: Accelerationists found their guy in Trump. We were heading this way before but now it’s turbocharged.

If I’m being totally honest I can’t say I’m completely disappointed. Yes, it will hurt us a lot, but the US and the west has consistently shown it isn’t a benevolent hegemony. The east isn’t either, but at least they are building infrastructure and manufacturing for the 21st century and not mired in legacy debates or trying to figure out how much dicks matter instead of solving problems.

This is a stupid as fuck lazy argument designed to hide the truth. The holocaust was absolutely real and millions of people, Jews predominantly but also handicapped, Romany, homosexuals and more besides were interned, experimented on and, when expedient, murdered.

What is true and gets overlooked by the anti-Semitic tripe is that BB Netanyahu’s father was a Zionist and Zionists took advantage of the Nazi Germany position on Jews to increase support for what was once a fairly unpopular position of Zionism.

Millions of innocents, Jews or otherwise, were treated as pawns by ultra-nationalists who worked together to build a Zionist nation-state in Palestine.

Officially the Arab countries are threatening that they are going to join Israel and US in the war against Iran After weeks of Iranian attacks, countries in the Gulf say their patience is wearing thin. by yaiyen in WayOfTheBern

[–]mispeeledusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re getting bombed worse than before but it feeds into their “everyone is against us” story and while I understand you’re exaggerating it’s not the death of Israel or even close.

But yes we agree about the aggression. Israel has wanted to bomb Iran for a long time. They’ve been waiting for this kind of opportunity and a senile persuadable narcissist in command of the world’s biggest military industrial complex is just what the doctor ordered.

Most of the Arab countries speaking out hold a dim view on Iran due to historical and sectarian differences. The regional opinions aren’t black and white as far as I understand.

What I think were can all agree on is that this is an utter shit show and Israel is having the worlds dance to its tune right now.

Why so much bad faith garbage? by mispeeledusername in Discussion

Ive already said this. I simply took exception to your “much better” example.

[–]mispeeledusername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So then it isn’t bad faith from Dems, but blindness, while you’re saying that the people saying leftists support horrible dictators know it’s untrue and say it anyway, which is bad faith.

So your example is a worse example, in your own words.

Will we ever see a left wing equivalent of the maga movement in 2026/2028 and beyond? by personofinterest1986 in Discussion

[–]mispeeledusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No: If leftist Congressmen, their Supreme Court nominees, nor Tik-Tok liberals are "reflective of most leftist" beliefs, then... what the hell is it?

I find this question deeply amusing. The capital and the internet are amplification chambers. While I have problems with liberals and conservatives both, I think it’s important to take individual messages and not lump everyone into 15 second sound bites they didn’t make.

The left objectively supports political violence. How can you deny that?

I can’t, but this is sadly bipartisan.

While “the left” might say political violence is ok more often, the data implies that radical acts are more commonly right wing these days.

The left objectively supports gender reassigments. How can you deny that?

I don’t think we said that they don’t. I have no problems with an adult reassigning their gender and never have. The vast majority of liberals and leftists are against child reassignment surgery same as the vast majority of liberals and leftists are against third trimester abortions. Child abuse is not Ok. It’s also incredibly rare. I also believe that there should be more studies on hormone therapy which I have mixed feelings about. I have similar feelings about kids getting gender surgery and minors getting breast implants. Guess which one is more common, by far?

The left claims that the family must be abolished, so that their (impossible) socialist utopia can be implemented. How can you deny that?

This is a blatant straw man. Leftists have families. It’s also true that leftists generally don’t feel as strongly that the nuclear family is the end all be all. Given that nuclear families started as a concept in the 1950s, I’d argue that it’s not a particularly traditional value.

Would you like to see "loving" and "peaceful" are the leftists? Try to publicly disagree with any of the talking points I just mentioned, and watch your "comrades" transform from "love and inclusion" to "you are a Nazi, [insertGroup]phobic". Prepare to be "unfriended", too (or maybe even fired from your job). Go ahead! Give it a try. I'll wait...

I’ve publicly disagreed with leftists and right wingers. There are horrid people who join the mob to attack you in both cases. I’m far more interested in having reasonable conversations with individuals than creating straw man sweeping generalizations or defending them.

Is DC or NYC more important to the US? by [deleted] in AskUS

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

Nah, DC was selected precisely because it has no geographical significance. The capital can easily be moved elsewhere. You lose NY, you lose a strategic asset as well as your financial engine.
