Definitely. In the past I hesitated to express my thoughts that Israel is a settler colonial apartheid state and now it's a very prominent and accepted viewpoint.
Sure there's a lot of pushback, still, but it's not an unspeakable accusation like it used to feel like. Even "centrist" eyes can see this viewpoint now
Former Canadian diplomat Colin Robertson said that when diplomats go to observe a combat area, their safety is not guaranteed.
"Things happen which certainly are not probably intentional on the part of the Israeli government, but these things have happened in the past. We've had Canadian observers killed, for example, when we were doing peace monitoring in Vietnam and in other situations," he said.
Fuck off Colin, fuck you

People will do anything but blame corporations for their behaviour.
If we tax them prices will go up! Of course they raised prices, we didn't make enough eye contact while we fellated the board!
Funny it's never "raising prices is pointless, people will just demand higher wages!"
This assumes that everyone is equally politically informed and engaged, and that everyone has given governance as much thought as one another.
The sad reality is a huge portion of people sleepwalk through life and they'd get by the same in a democracy vs. feudalism vs. socialism.
If we raise prices consumers will just demand higher salaries and we'll pay for it anyway, there's no point.
I'm going to take some credit back away for not easily verifying
Oh hey it's once again the "freedom advocate" who is always spouting off support for the most fascist oppressive shit going on in the world. I should learn how to block in this new app
That was my point, really. I guess if you're thinking of military training as resistance training then we agree. I think training our young men and women to immediately blow up in tanks and planes and die in trenches isn't going to be useful.
I guess I don't see the Canadian military training a bunch of Che Guevaras.
I'm not sure what you think my comment is saying but yeah United States is a danger and so too might Russia or China be, all are beyond our capabilities.
I'm sorry that you find our genocide offensive
