What really upset me about that video was his refusal to recommend economic sanctions.

Those would be shot down too of course, but all he was willing to commit to was what, an absolutely useless finger-wagging? To state israel "won't get another dime" sure sounds empty to me when Biden can and will just go around Congress.

I don't know if ive got a point here, but i hated that video. it just felt like a new low

“It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way,” she added.

If i were the protestor this burn would feel worse. The absolute depravity inside this woman to mischaracterize a sacrificial act above her comprehension. I hate her and wish her terrible pain.

Blaming others for their own cataclysmic failures is just about the only thing that the Dems keep their promise on

Brad Polumbo is a jackass. He's the founder of Based-politics, which by name alone should tell you what they're about.

But! Here is a blurb anyway:

We’re a next-generation multi-media hub committed to providing “Based” commentary and reporting. There’s no sugarcoating around here and we won’t be holding back. We’re here to destroy big government and expose corrupt practices, not to shill for a tribe or a political party. Our values are unapologetically rooted in free markets, limiting the government, and individual liberty—we’ll take the side of these principles no matter the cost

Mmmmmm that's good comedy

They're right. 48% is insanely low. I'd have thought it would be higher. Good job Zs

I am just amazed that anyone believes it wasn't Israel considering the context this time. Assuming one accepts that they have:

  • Done 3 (?) days of Blanket bombing

  • Made the "Subhuman" comment

  • Cut off water, etc.

  • bombed refugee transports

Like, we accept these events have happened but someone is still offering them the benefit of the doubt?

Maddening

The motherfucker was just as lazy with his dead baby prop. I'm insulted by how lazy it has been.

Quick everyone, hide your ID badges!

I think its probably the fact that there is a type of person you're used to arguing with that makes your type so angry when you decide to visit.

To protect your ego, you have unconsciously going into and starting arguments with people you consider inferior. Perhaps with this habit over time you made the common mistake of conflating your choice of hanging around ignorance as evidence that you are smarter than your average person.

Am i close? Should i keep going?

Your average comment is snark, yes? Do you go into deep conversations online? Do you know history beyond what you learned in school? Do you daily seek out knowledge?

If the answer to these questions is yes, no, no, no as i suspect (don't answer me, answer them to yourself online arguments are stupid and useless) then do better, ok? The world needs people to try. They don't need more of the you you just displayed.

Literature links? (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm working through the manifesto and i'm really struggling with chapter 3s Feudal and Petty-Bourgeois socialism section. It seems he's waxing a bit into prose, or i lack important historical context. Is there something i can read that will provide this? Barring that i would also love any links or recommendations to literature that helped you understand

Oh and if this is stickied somewhere i apologize for dumb
