Nothing said in this post is against a ceasefire.
X Edward Guo, a professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia University, said that part of the problem is that, unlike in the US, military research does sometimes take place on university campuses. “It’s not black and white … there are medical universities that also do military. But 99% of those professors are doing biomedical research and have nothing to do with the military.”.
Us University's don't do military research
Yes they do ??????????
He basically says "anyone else". He does do the "harris actually great" but shoots it down bc she is unliked, blames it on racism/sexism.
As someone living in Texas I see so many people say this shit. Biden should have federalized the national guard yesterday and this fucking sucks.
I mean it just a factually wrong post that misrepresents what it cites. The majority of Jews in Israel are not indigenous. Yes there are native Palestinian Jews. I've seen this conflation of Sephardic Jews and Mizrahi Jews multiple times verbatim now. It central to the claim that they are indigenous people. Idk if it's just lack of understanding or a purposeful obfuscation. The 31% Ashkenazi number that they reference I assume they saw from Wikipedia that puts 'soviet' Jews in their own category.
The part about not having a place to return to I feel is an over simplification of how citizenship works. I can claim and get Irish citizenship if I do enough paperwork bc of my family heritage. It doesn't make me a active passport holder. It also shouldn't matter there would obviously have to be land reform but I don't think any one with listening to is advocating for the expulsion of all Jews. Look to south Africa whites were not expelled, although they didn't do land reform correctly.
The first point just sounds like every propagandized response to "river to sea". It conflates a free singular state of Palestine with a state that would not tolerate Jews. The only principled solution is one secular state that allows free practice of religion and doesn't discriminate based on racial lines. I've noticed this trend with Ukraine but western liberals actually believe every state must be an ethnostate.
somehow exposing everyone else by saying the least controversial shit is a great bit
"Aoc did it. What c tier streamers can we find?"
He is very annoying though
I think sjw really needs to be considered for defed. Maybe I'm just reading the room wrong but lemmee and ml seems to have chilled since the first week idk. I've yet to see a good take from programmer one outside of niche focused discussions on non political things (tech support, piracy ect.)
Edit: there is someone from the programmer one being chill and nice in this thread
One thing I never can really grasp my head around is the framing of the Hungarian uprising or tiananmen square protests. There were much larger acts of state violence committed at the same time elsewhere. Like the French killing a million Algerians or the us proping up iraq in the Iran iraq war while they genocide kurds and launched chemical weapons at Iranian cities. There has to be some dissonance or just ignorance there. It's the emphasis vs lies propaganda at its finest.
The point they made about safety regulations came off as there should be more soldiers dying in training. I can't think they meant it that way. Almost too on brand for opendemocacy to lobby against regulations even around weapons of war.
On the head to head polling posted yesterday buried deeper in that same poll it showed that most respondents really did not know any of the dem replacements. A lot of Biden being ahead of everyone was plain name recognition. https://x.com/umichvoter/status/1807449998256419136
