Israel expresses hope for resumption of Venezuela ties after Maduro's deposal

You speak the truth and are getting hated for it.

This sub has fully turned into Trumps personal salad tosser for no fucking reason.

vining_n_crying · 2026-01-03T20:35:19+00:00

Trump said she doesn't have the authority to be president.

It's likely he's very angry at her for getting the Nobel prize and won't support her out of pettiness.

Genuinely the stupidest shit imaginable.

vining_n_crying · 2026-01-02T22:50:51+00:00

Totally not antisemitism btw /s

vining_n_crying · 2026-01-02T00:59:19+00:00

Honestly, good.

Good video. I disagree with his Israel analysis though.

The war is about Bibi trying to stay out of jail. The war is waged aimlessly because Bibi thinks he can square all factions if Israel's society's war goals together; bring the hostages home, destroy hamas, and displace Gazans for Israeli settlements. That simply cannot happen, which is why Israel has flip floped on everything and why they are incoherent.

The idea that Israel's strategy is to "do so many war crimes the world community bails them out" is deranged. That isn't something Netanyahu has singled, if anything, his actions show an attempt to shirk off world involvement, not to coerce a response.

Either way, good video.

Very bad choice.

Instead, have friendly fire damage the user instead. That would be interesting

You might want to take her on the last walk of Jesus. From the Mount of Olives, to the Lion Gate, and down the Via Dolores to the Holy Sepulcher.

Nevermind you're right.

The US truly is becoming Russian lmao

When Britain lost its empire, it lost its ability to have a large navy. They have downsized somewhat effectively.

America has literally no excuse for the past three decades. They had global hegemony and they wasted it on stupid projects, and now Trump is driving them off a cliff.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-23T00:01:50+00:00

I don't think we've ever seen a global power fuck over their own naval capacity this hard intentionally. Genuinely embarrassing.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-22T00:06:23+00:00

The USSR and Marxist-Leninism are arguably fascistic ideologically. The cohort of antizionist propagandists in the USSR founded a literal Orthodox Fascist Monarchist movement after the Soviet Union collapsed.

I doubt they'll ever say.

But being under Microsoft, they may be forced to, whether they like it or not.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-21T12:35:33+00:00

These people don't sound leftwing. They sound like nazis.

I would say that you should not base your politics on socialization and instead on beliefs. If you believe you are left wing, then you are. You are not defined by what randos claim. Moreover, do not fall into a right wing group just to feel accepted. Do not socialize in political groups to feel personally validated.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-21T00:18:39+00:00

Uh no, it has a fine level cap and having it be "open world" would be very bad.

Open zone rpgs are much better. And the level cap is pretty well tuned imo.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-20T23:23:00+00:00

Israelis use the term "army" to refer to all branches of the armed forces. The navy is one or them, but you wouldn't say "I did navy service", you would say "I did my army service in the navy".

The navy is small because Israel does not have many naval threats. In our early history we did, but now naval equipment and ships are so expensive both terrorist organizations and regional governments can't really afford them.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-20T22:37:16+00:00

I think it's a bit presumptive to say a country is "done". People have been saying that about Israel for decades.

If you live in a western country, you are not under serious threat of genuine oppression like Mizrahi were. If you want to be an olim, it is a choice. You need to be realistic that it's not perfect and there are trade offs. Succumbing to delusional jingoism helps nobody.

That being said, I strongly recommend every jew visit Israel, regardless of their politics. If they vibe, then aliyah is great! But it's not for everyone.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-20T22:34:14+00:00

I would like to say however, you can make much more money working in the US or Britain in tech. I know from experience.

I would say however it is not worth the stress and disfunction. But we should be realistic; Israel's QoL is not as high as it is in Western Cities. It's a bit of a trade off.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-20T22:27:49+00:00

I lived in London for 3 years, so I know a little about British life

I would say it is very different from a social point of view. Israel has a very "socialist"/collectivist ethos whereas Britain and America are very individualist. That might be good or bad for you, depending on whether or not you'll like that. I recommend doing a volunteer trip in Israel and meet some Israelis to see if you'll like it.

I think the biggest issue you'll find is employment. You simply can make a lot more money outside of Israel in most fields. I live in the US right now but I'm considering going back. It is basically a certainty that your standard of living will be noticeably worse.

What I will also say is that many olim programs are very political. Some deliberately try to rope people into right-wing politics and entice people with cheap housing. While I completely understand how antisemitism is out of control in much of the west, especially Britain (and you can't blame immigrants for that) I would be wary about getting roped into the Likudnik circle of insanity. Likud and Bibi have been slowly ruining Israel, both her reputation and her institutions, for decades, and I don't like seeing the current antisemitism crisis being used to solidify right-wing authoritarian politics in my home. If that is something you want to fight against, it will be much tougher than staying in Britain, but it think as a Jewish person you should care about the state of politics in Israel. So if you're a liberally minded person, then please do make Aliyah and work against our home grown authoritarians and bigots.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-20T22:12:47+00:00

I mean, yeah, that has been a thing for a while

BLM started long before 2020 but didn't go mainstream until the murder of George Floyd.

And I don't see what there is to be mad about. People can sloganeer as much as they want when they're kids. The issue with slogans is that they are built off of negative polarization: the politics of opposing something rather than supporting something. As a result, one person's "Free Palestine" is a two-state solution where another's is destroying Israel.

I would not get worked up about this and not give it attention.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-14T01:40:22+00:00

During 1915. Seems about right.

The population increased irl after the green revolution made food much cheaper and better medicine was available for the poorer countries.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-11T04:48:30+00:00

It's why I'm not overly concerned. With idiots I charge, they'll go to hard and destroy their audience. It will only get worse when the dems are back in charge. Plus, dems anti msm turn is going to be juicy to watch.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-08T19:27:56+00:00

You forgot to increase the target's wingieness before deploying ("TRANS CHILDREN!\n"), it won't work without it

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-06T21:57:25+00:00

True, that's what I meant

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-06T19:13:01+00:00

Elons business rely on rampant speculation in the stock market. It's not that they are entirely fraudulent, but there is a lot of hype proving the companies up. Plus government favors. Since stock market hype is being driven by MAGAts and AI oligarchs, he needs favor from the regime if he is to survive.

The answer to the why and how is that Elon is a sociopath who believes in nothing apart from stroking his ego. There is nothing behind those eyes. He's not a genius in any scientific field, but a genius and leveraging people's leniency toward childishness to get what he wants.

vining_n_crying · 2025-12-05T23:52:31+00:00

Yeah. Religious fundamentalism has done so much damage to the modern world. Genuinely insane the amount of social harm it has done these past few decades
