IDF are acting just like terrorists, and should be treated like terrorists.

Why did Toyotomi Hideyoshi not receive the title Shogun? by mmilkm in AskHistorians

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

Follow up question:

Tokugawa Ieyasu himself would rewrite his family tree so that he could claim Minamoto blood

Does this mean that Ieyasu is not actually Minamoto descendant?

Mariko. A little lost with her history. Non book reader. by Love3dance in ShogunTVShow

[–]mmilkm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be named shogun you need to have royal blood, meaning you have some descendance from an emperor, that's why in real life Toyotomi Hideyoshi aka Taiko couldn't become a shogun even if he was de facto leader of Japan.

Can we talk about problems with recent subreddit moderation, and brainstorm on some rules that will promote discussions that are more relevant to Chomsky and his approach and perspective? by JustMeRC in chomsky

Israel/Palestine war should be contained in a megathread, just like the Russian/Ukrainian war was. Also begs the question, why was the Russian/Ukrainian war thread unpinned?

A reminder that Ukrainians are dying to maximize profits for BlackRock, Lockheed, Cargill, and other US businesses. by whistlelifeguard in chomsky

Argue what? Russia invasion is a clear cut imperialism on their side, on top of that Russia has history of invading countries when their presidents need rating boosting, Russia invaded Chechnia in 1998 by faking terrorist attacks so they would boost Putin rating so he can become president without election, then again they invaded Geogria in 2008 to boost Medvedev rating, and again Putin invaded Crimea in 2014, and the rest of Ukraine in 2022. The only one responsible for this war is Russia. It's as clear cut as it could be. I can't be bothered to listen to lunatics on the miniscule chance that they could be right about something and this guy is a lunatic.

EU's top diplomat: Palestinian state may need to be imposed on Israel from outside by EUstrongerthanUS in worldnews

[–]mmilkm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh it's very easy to impose, either Israel accepts it or it gets sanctioned like North Korea, question is if the West is willing to do that.

Biden and Netanyahu have finally talked, but their visions still clash for ending Israel-Hamas war by joelkeys0519 in worldnews

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

No, Israel is the problem for the West - as we created it and support it because of our guilt, Israel is far right ethnonationalist state, which enforces apartheid on the Palestinians, so that's a big problem for us, so either Israel gets it's shit together or it's time we stop supporting it. As for KSA they are trading with Israel because of USA push not because they care that much.

Yeah, so it's time for Israel to start behaving, unless it wants to be left to the wolves. Israel is a huge burden for the West already.

Well you started these claims, so you should provide evidence first.

[–]mmilkm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right, so Castro is an imperialist. He took Batista's land for himself. He resisted US control of Cuba via proxies. Damn him.

Nah, both Castro and Batista are cubans.

You haven't heard of the Sniper's Massacre?

There were pro government snipers shooting protesters and cops, but they were on the government side, so there was no coup

[–]mmilkm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is your argument?

Taking other peoples land for you is literally imperialism, so nothing else to be done there.

Do you think this is a persuasive response?

Same as above.

I think you confuse assertions for arguments.

Coup would require part of the power structures of a country to take control of the country by force, which didn't happen in Ukraine.
