New Jersey isn’t real, it’s just a suburb of NYC and Philly.

NY, Florida, Texas, California are the only states, the rest is Ohio

So what you’re saying is we need a strategic MtG card reserve.

I regret to inform you.

Danny Devito.

No, I’m saying you should be careful in cases where it could be taken as an antisemitic dogwhistle.

That’s not the case at all, you can look at my post history if you want to know the things I think.

It’s just you generally want to avoid antisemitic tropes when you’re talking about Zionists because antisemites say Zionist when they mean Jew.

Why would they? Humans aren’t supposed to be there

Depicting Zionists as lizards isn’t great.

Is europe gonna actually get snow though? Or is it going to continue to be drier?

No fed posting.

So you think the Hamas Charter, an Arabic-language document, was made entirely for western PR?

Also, religion is orthogonal to Zionism; most Zionists are American Christians like Joe Biden. Israel is a settler-colonial project first and foremost, and religion is simply a tool it uses for that purpose.

Even Hamas, who is getting bombed by people saying “We’re doing this because we’re Jews and this is Jewish land” sees through that and makes a distinction between Jews and Zionists. Some guy living in the imperial core who has never been victimized has no excuse.

I sympathize not with today’s Jews

You know that conflating todays Jews with Israel is antisemitic as hell right?

Most Jews are not Israeli, and most American Jews could give a fuck about Israel; 9% of American Jews ranked Israel as one of their top 2 issues, and most ranked it second last.

It works on boomers and germans.

I literally got it from a .ml community.

Why do you think .ml mods would ban people for posting a news article detailing US-backed terrorists pledging to go after another one of the US’s adversaries next?

I couldn’t get past the 4th example of “non-violence” without laughing at how wildly revisionist they are. While each of these had non-violent components, none of them would have succeeded without violence. The housing rights act wasn’t passed until literally every city was on fire.

Here’s a great book detailing the experiences that lead civil rights leaders to understand the importance of a real, credible threat for any “non-violent” component to be effective..

The British gave up their occupation of India after a decades-long nonviolent struggle by the Indian population led by Mohandas Gandhi.

The Danes, Norwegians and other peoples in Europe used civil resistance against Nazi invasion during World War II, raising the costs to Germany of its occupation of these nations, helping to strengthen the spirit and cohesion of their people, and saving the lives of thousands of Jews in Berlin to Copenhagen to Paris and elsewhere.

Labor movements around the world have consistently used tactics of civil resistance to win concessions for workers throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

African Americans used civil resistance in their struggle to dissolve segregation in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s.

non-violent resistance is more often effective

It’s only ever effective when a credible violent alternative is present.

No oppressed person in history has ever gotten their rights by appealing to the better nature of their oppressor.

Civil rights weren’t won when black people asked politely and just moving everyone’s hearts at how unjustly they were being treated, when MLK died, he had a 75% disapproval rating. Civil rights were won through repeated demonstrations of power and showing what would happen if their demands weren’t met.

You know the guy who posted this news article is a .ml user, right?

They were supported by Israel due to Assad’s support for Palestine.

Hence why HTS has ordered Palestinian organizations that Assad was harboring to disarm.

I don’t expect much from liberals, but I am still shocked how quickly yall came around to supporting the psychotically evil faction Israel and Turkey support for their use against Palestine’s ally, Assad, and Turkey’s enemy, the Kurds.

Even in the 2010s, supporting ISIS and their allies even though they opposed Assad was beyond the pale.
