Thank God, an enlightened centrist! What knowledge can you throw down to us critically engaged peasants from the top of the horseshoe??? We're so hungry as a result of communism or something

The Nazis tainted everything they touched, I don't see why this should be any different. And yes, the comparison is apt.

Very few things in life are black and white - this is.

You either support genocide or you don't. You either support an increasingly fascistic apartheid ethnostate or you don't. Lines are notoriously difficult to draw but they're extremely clear cut here.

Israel and the Zionist project gains legitimacy by proximity to genuinely honorable people like the ones you brought up - it's rhetorical propaganda.

I appreciate I'm taking a strong stance in my wording here but for gods sake, man - look at the whole thing. A dying empire is dusting off old world colonialism, complete with unabashed ethnic cleansing and the entire Western world is to-the-hilt complicit. History and systemic decline is being written. I don't consider my language an overreaction - at all.

Honestly, I think we're pretty solidly the baddies at this point.

Big ups to Jonno. Only person I've ever actually seen engaging in the community and he's been amongst it for years.

And there it is - the holocaust, an all-purpose shield and sword.

I stand by my statement and I doubt anyone honored via that program would endorse Israel today.

An anonymous source inside the USGov saying "oh, yeah, we're totally still in control - the middle east is still materially in our sphere of influence"?

Come on, of cause they're going to say that - especially through the proxy of anonymity. They have reporters they own. It's a no risk play to project power - only that it waves more red flags than a sailor doing semaphores.

A badge of honor.

To be held in esteem by Israel - at any point in its history - is a deep stain on any reputation to put it mildly. Anyone with humanity is an enemy to fascists and ethnostates.

They also inked deals for gas/oil exporting rights to the Gazan coast.

This is exactly why armed resistance is both inevitable and entirely justified. The UN agrees - of whom Israel explicitly refuses to allow record the conflict. Israel kills the record-keepers and then gaslights away the truth.

Fascism rides again under the colors blue and white.

This is madness and incompetence.

Amen. War is a total systemic failure.

I dunno - mounting evidence seems to point to the hypothesis a few less imperialists wouldn't hurt.

except the alchemists actually strived to move towards more reliable and accurate science

Forgive if I'm misunderstanding, but wouldn't that be chemists striving toward reliable and accurate science? Sovcits being alchemists or petty magi is a pretty great comparison, honestly.
