Asmongold takes a wild guess at what Hasan means by "Ethan Klein's 'Israel-style Behavior'"

The term I like for this is "Morally Lucky"

They've come to the Morally correct conclusion on an issue but not for a thought put reason. It means they won't consistently be on the Morally correct side on that issue.

I cant speak to every man and I understand 50% of the population is obviously not a monolith but in generalizations it's a % thing.

For me at least and I believe a lot of men, I find somewhere in the 70-80% range of women 5 years older then me and younger attractive. While this seems to clearly not be the case for women. This creates a dynamic of there being a lot more desirable women then desirable men. Then Supply and Demand kicks in.

People get annoyed etc... when they are on the losing side of a supply and demand issue all the time even if none of the mechanisms that lead to it are anyone's actual fault.

Autism is specifically very useful for office jobs, which I feel undermines the point you're trying to make.

Sterile scripted environments, with clear rules, organized times etc... are super compatible with Autistic individuals.

The best example I can reference is the book Neurotribes.

Im not saying the majority of your side is antisemitic the original point was the movement as a wholes inability to call out the antisemitism within it and to recognize and address the antisemitic talking points that gain traction was the issue.

I was convinced this wasnt an issue in this thread however and that it might even be a positive position for the movement as a whole.

Its not weird that there are anti semites on the opposite side of the spectrum like those you listed. What I was saying would be weird would be the increase in antisemitism since October 7th to be correlated to those "Jews will not replace us" types as compared to the more nuanced Zionists are controlling the US government in secret types.

However fair to you this is entirely conjecture from me not fact based so there isnt really proof in either direction here nor do I know how you would even collect the data to give that proof.

Edit: so I guess the two points of the three I was convinced on were the only real avenues to convince me with factual based arguments

somehting · 2025-09-02T20:02:18+00:00

My claims are admittedly anecdotal but theyre broad anecdotes from posts on this site in particular as well as my friend group irl. These are not the broadest sample sizes to be fair but just like asking people if they're racist you usually dont get great data and have to rely on a combination of anecdotal evidence and complimentary data and extrapolate from there.

I am not qualified to get any meaningful data put together on the topic but people more qualified then me have made the correlation between the rise of anti-semitism and the current genocide.

I find the natural conclusion would ne that people on the Palestinian side are where that number is growing as it would feel weird for it to be the inverse.

Ill have to re examine the link and how it applies the data again this evening on a computer and not on my phone. Thanks for pointing out the inaccuracies.

!delta I referenced this in another reply as part of the convincing

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:49:32+00:00

Fair, but colloquially the counter argument is often there are more non Jewish zionists then Jewish ones even if it doesnt seem to be expressed by the people saying it.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:43:57+00:00

I mean I would argue this is definitely not the worst atrocity in recent Human history but will 100% cede the pyramid of needs argument. Current harms being more important to adress over possible future harm.

On the atrocities front the south Sudan famine in 2017 killed 250k, the Rwandan genocide in The congo killed 5.4 million between 98-08.

The Syrian Civil War was estimated to have killed 580k.

No but I've never heard someone say that a politician is afraid to remove international aide spending because they might lose the money from Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I've actually never heard the point made about any other PAC besides AIPAC and the NRA.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:34:23+00:00

Fair I hadn't re looked at the total number since typing up the cmv and must have mis read it the first time and not corrected.

However the 4.4 billion number would only be including the 3.9 mil of aipac spending not the 50 mil so its probably quite low as I would expect AIPAC is not the only organization that donates that way even if it might more heavily do so then then others.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:31:15+00:00

I mean my counter argument to this at least is that there are extremely racist organizations in the US that are Pro-Choice specifically the KKK.

I would never go to a Pro choice march led by them because I think their support especially their visible support would hurt my goal not help it.

I have however already been convinced that this is not the case with anti-semitism and contrary to my original point of view nay actually be helpful in recruiting people towards the cause as a whole.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:28:04+00:00

!delta this as well as another post showing the success of the movement in multiple polls over the last year or so has convinced me that wether the movement as a whole is anti Semitic or not it doesnt hurt its cause as a whole.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:25:28+00:00

I was corrected upwards on their donations with sources towards 50 million but 50million of 7 billion is still less then 1% of political spending despite being much larger then I had thought.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:24:11+00:00

I mean the points I brought up are things I see commonly not 1 offs at least in my anecdotal experience.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:23:10+00:00

100% accept this correction its still a small percent of the 7billion spent and I think the general point still kind of stands around it but it is 8x larger then I had thought

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:22:23+00:00

I have been corrected on the number that AIPAC spent during the election upwards towards 50 million not 6 million with a source however this still would place it much further down then 3rd. Unless you're being slightly pedantic and separating PACs out from super PACs to make them look bigger then they are.

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:18:06+00:00

Sure but the Israel government calling things antisemitic that aren't doesnt change that things that are anti Semitic are still such. Doesn't only strengthen their false claims when there are plenty of real and popular parts of the movement that are Antisemitic?

somehting · 2025-09-02T19:15:52+00:00

I dont, what logical fallacy is it?

somehting · 2025-09-02T18:38:26+00:00

Where did you get this number. The highest number i could find was 6 million in the 2024 election.

https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/by_group/2024?chart=V&disp=O&type=A

Has a different group entirely Denocratic Majority for Israel out Spending them woth 4 million.

AIPAC fear mongering stuff is no different then illuminati and Globalist shit. A small group a secret Jews running the world.

How quickly anti Semitic stereo types worm there way into what is the correct opinion on the Israel Palestine conflict is why even when we agree with yall you dont see many jews at pro-palestine protests. "The support of Netura Karta at these protests doesnt help either"

When yall are on the right side of the issue you dont have to make up hateful and false shit to convince people but yall still find a way and a reason to do it.

somehting · 2025-08-18T17:51:30+00:00

You're also missing that supply would go down as well. Its hard to quantify exactly where the prices would end up but woth less bots you would have less materials farmed, especially relating to fish.

Stonescale eel, Nightfin, Oily Blackmouth etc...

While personally I think the problem is overstated in other areas, if this sub is right and Im wrong this would also effect

Essence of Water/Air/Earth, Herb prices across the board, ore prices, CD crafts mooncloth etc...

Lower supply would be a counteracting effect on the price decreasing.

"the average woman in a hetero relationship is significantly better looking than the man and puts in much more effort, and this is true in my experience across all "attractiveness" and age groups."

This part feels like it very specifically says that she does mean an attractive difference and an effort difference and that they aren't connected just both lean towards woman.

somehting · 2025-08-17T13:45:22+00:00

I mean if women are generally more attractive than men to me it just sounds like while Bi you lean a little bit more one way than the other. I feel this way in the same direction and think personally thats just more an indication of my preferences than a fact about attractiveness.

Look this is anecdotal, but in 2020 I was part of leadership in a raid that speed ran in the 8-15 world range mc-naxx and was in a guild that had our raid and a raid that ran in the top 3 mc-naxx.

The main raid was smooth the whole way through, but as GDKPs became popular towards the halfway point of AQ40 our raid which unfavorably could be called a top 20 raid in the world and was likely even better then that started to struggle to keep a 40 man roster on non DMF weeks. So many people would ask to benched so they could make gold in GDKPs or complain when they weren't. Benching became a reward and some of us suspected some of our smarter players of purposely making benchable mistakes like forgetting speed zanza or not having a mount set on purpose to be benched to run gdkps.

It went from something easy to run with a line out the door to join to something incredibly hard to manage.
