This forum would be far better if people like yourself didn't insert themselves into conversations and issues they clearly know nothing about and hard...

Gandhi and the peaceful resistance he was part of was also not operating in a vacuum. There were certainly violent movements against the British occup...

I see, it's easy to prescribe a solution for the Palestinians. They just need to produce a Gandhi or an MLK. No sweat. What should Israel do? Oh that'...

In the meantime Israel should keep doing what it's doing. They don't need a Gandhi or an MLK, or anyone. Only the Palestinians require that.

Can't get over how funny it is that on page 13 of a thread titled "Israel Killing Civilians in Gaza and West Bank" we have a guy asking where sympathy...

Yes I understand that you don't want to appear incapable of human sympathy and require half-brained excuses.

What Joshs is actually saying here is that he is so incapable of basic human sympathy that he cannot fathom how others can be capable of it.

Also needs to be mentioned that the majority of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are 24 years or younger (about 65% and 58% respectively), and t...

Fuck that's absolutely :100:

Yeah the Lord of the Rings and Capital are pretty interchangeable

Except this arbitration is still being directed towards those who are oppressed, not the oppressors, therefore falling for the liberal demand that the...

Yup these both sounds good and correct to me :up:

Examples of violence against Israelis can be brought up time and time again, as certain members, given a lack of a broader understanding of the issue ...

Huge self-own by Marx. Wrote thousands and thousands of pages over the course of 40 years, no evidence he actually believed a word of it.

"We've" established no such thing. I've established your reading and comprehension difficulties given the dogshit statement below:

That's exactly correct, if I sound like a miserable person it's because I interact with dogshit illiterates, such as yourself, who filter videos of Je...

I very clearly stated that it's hard not to feel a tinge of self-disgust and cultural dissonance after internalizing 30 years of pro-Israel propaganda...

Don't really know what kind of glue you're sniffing in order to interpret things this way, but it must be pretty strong.

ok Yeah nothing upsetting about Jews waving the Israeli flag, dancing and cheering as a fire breaks out near the third holiest site for Muslims.

Crazy how people just reframe the core issue, an occupying apartheid state, to this.

I'm a pro-Palestine American Jew, and having been conditioned, if not demanded, to support Israel for 30 years, it's hard not to feel a tinge of self-...

A consequence of demanding support for Israel from American Jews - that loyalty to Israel is a necessary condition for Jewishness - by politicians, Ev...

How the West Came to Rule: The Geopolitical Origins of Capitalism by Alexander Anievas and Kerem Nisancioglu

I'm not reading all that

If you've spent "decades thinking about this stuff" and this is all you have to show for it then...well, Jesus Christ.

Except you're not talking about Capitalism tout court you're specifically advocating a vague aperçu of laizze faire Capitalism, in your own words "lim...

Honestly incredible, it takes an exceptionally unique individual to say that Marx's critique of Capitalism was spot on and yet we must do it anyway.

And if you are working 20 hours each day building something that benefits billions of people and all you have to show for it is a mansion and a nice c...

Always amusing when people can't admit they were wrong.

Equality and fairness are conceptually distinct. It shouldn't take more than several seconds to realize this. Just be an adult and admit that "Equalit...

This by definition is not an equality of outcome. It's material consumption based on individuated needs.

Agreed, time to get rid of the US Constitution
