But it really isn't the same. "Jewish supremacism" is a specific idea - that Jewish people should hold power in Israel, which really is the guiding ideology of Zionism.

For context, they're arguing elsewhere that saying "Zionism is Jewish supremacist" equates Judaism with Zionism, and I hope it's obvious that that's a wild take.

Edit: also, do liberal Zionists not support the maintenance of an ethnostate? Because that's Jewish supremacy, even if they don't think of themselves that way.

Calling Zionism "Jewish supremacy" equates Zionism and Judaism.

No, it doesn't. Why would it? Calling Zionism "Judaism" would, but saying "Jewish supremacy" is the guiding ideology of Zionism doesn't. You can't just say dumb shit like this, you have to justify it. And your link doesn't! It doesn't say anything about Jewish supremacy. It says equating Zionism to Judaism is anti Semitic, which... No shit? No one here disagrees with that, least of all me! But no one is SAYING that, because saying "Zionism is a Jewish supremacist ideology" is NOT the same as equating Zionism and Judaism, because Judaism IS NOT JEWISH SUPREMACY.

The explicit goal of Zionists is a Jewish state where exclusively Jewish people hold power. They enact their laws on the basis of maintaining that power. They are very clear about this. That is Jewish supremacy, just like building a country like America, where white people hold power and laws are enacted to keep white people in power, is white supremacy. No shit that's not what Judaism is, it's a whole separate thing, that's why it has a different name.

I would really, really like to know what part of that essay supports your position, because I don't see it. I would also like to know what you think "Jewish supremacist" means because it sounds like you think it just means "Jewish", which is obviously a painfully illiterate position, so it can't be that, right?

What they said is actually extremely gross and Jewish supremacy is a perfect description of zionist beliefs.

This is exactly 1 for 1 like saying that calling America a white supremacist state is racist against white people. After all, it's not run for the benefit of ALL white people!!! Except worse in that anti semitism is a real thing.

I suggest that you should probably not peddle great replacement level nonsense. It's fucking offensive.

Gillen argued that Mamdani has promised voters “free everything” but has no “real economic plan to pay for it, other than raising taxes.”

That IS a plan to pay for it, and it's no doubt why people voted for him, because they want you rich ghouls to give something back for a change and slightly improve the conditions for poor people in the city that made you wealthy. They really are just threatening people with a good time.

I absolutely disagree with Carney that the economy and market forces need to be used because the economy itself is driving us into the ditch. It’s based on the creed of cancer — steady growth — and you can’t have endless growth in a finite world.

I've been saying... Except I dislike saying "the economy". I mean, it is the economy, but an economy is just a means of distributing resources, so the solution would involve using "the economy", just y'know, not capitalism, which is the actual problem.

These excerpts are mostly just admitting Marx was right without actually saying Marx was right.

Jesus Christ. I clicked on it thinking about a story Boonta Vista covered where a dude ran a stop sign on campus intending to be pulled over by the campus cop for his "prom-posal" (Americans, you are insane) and seriously injuring another student on a motorbike but this is so much worse. Men are broken tbh. Not in like a redemptive way or anything we just really fucking suck.

Looks like a replicator from star trek to me.

“the Avengers of public policy, or the Justice League, depending on your personal persuasion: the best thinkers from across the spectrum.”

The full spectrum of cracker political thought: avengers to justice league.

It's not even like he nicked it and then sold it. He just... Took a table intended for his use and used it somewhere it wasn't meant to be used. I bet it got more use in his room than it ever would in a public place
