  • And who makes up the Zionists

    European atheists and Christians? Like, this nonsense is only possible because of the enthusiastic support of very much non-Jewish Westerners.

    “The genocide is being conducted by a Jewish state, approved of by the vast majority of Jews in that state, who are a vast majority in that state, lobbied by Jews and persecuted by Jewish soldiers. But it’s the ZIONISTS!”

    Using Western weapons under Western diplomatic and military cover, you forgot that part. Israeli Jews are almost all guilty, but the qualifier “Israeli” is important. Outside Israel this shit is actually divisive among Jewish communities. Like, we’re not just talking about a small minority among an overwhelming Zionist majority here; this is a real division in Western Jewish communities. Also, when you say “the Jews did this” you imply two things: That it’s only or mainly Jews that are guilty, and that it’s all (or enough for opposition to be irrelevant) Jews are guilty. I’ve made my case for the latter, but let’s not forget about the former too. Israeli tyranny has always depended on Western support, from the Balfour declaration to Polish and Czechoslovakian weapons arming Zionist militias to the USSR and America almost immediately recognizing Israel to Western support for Israel during and after the cold war. Everyone involved in every one of these actions deserves a violent and painful death, so I see no reason to call out Zionist Jews specifically. Joe Biden and Netanyahu can go on the same chopping block as far as I am concerned, because both are equally implicated with the genocide in Gaza. In the same vein, AIPAC is certainly guilty for supporting pro-genocide candidates, but the candidates accepting that support and the establishment that allows all this to happen are equally guilty and they can all die in the same ditch, so why concern oneself with whether they worship Yahweh, Jesus or nothing?




  • Newsflash people- this is POLITICS. This is no different than young podcasters on tiktok or whatever the hell giving air time to Bernie and not Biden, etc. Hell, it’s no different than Jacobin, which I do read occasionally, giving WAY more preference and bias to more left wing candidates. If you can’t see that is two sides of the same coin then I don’t know what to tell you.

    That’s only one part of the article, though. What really got me on the “they fucked Bernie” train was this:

    Also undiscussed is the ruthlessness with which the Biden campaign and Democratic officials forced an end to the primary. At the same time they were urging people to stay home and avoid large gatherings — and a time when it was still widely believed COVID was spread through surfaces rather than respiratory droplets, leading almost everyone to eschew mask-wearing — the campaign and the party ignored criticism and warnings from health officials, and cheerfully misinformed voters that it was safe to turn out to vote in person, while aggressively rejecting widespread calls to delay upcoming primaries.

    The DNC went so far as to threaten to cut states’ delegates in half if they did so, all to wrap things up before Biden sabotaged himself, or before the sexual assault allegation against him that the mainstream press assiduously ignored for weeks became widely known. The result was election day chaos, depressed turnout, and several cases and deaths linked directly to the contests.

    I do find it distasteful, but the media stuff is just political maneuvering. However, forcing voters to choose between their vote and their health is not something that should happen, ever. That was blatant abuse of power.

    I can’t find a way to phrase this that’s not offensive, so I’ll just go ahead: Are you being obtuse or do you just not know what you’re talking about? Because if it’s the latter you should at least take a scroll down this Wikipedia page before you talk about this stuff. However, I will say that sacrificing millions of people for holy communism (which is what happened; the famine was a choice) isn’t much better than sacrificing them for holy property rights. Not asking for foreign aid and denying a famine even existed was also inexcusable.

    After the October Revolution of 1917, homosexuality was decriminalised in Soviet Russia with the repeal of the legal code of the Russian Empire, and this decriminalisation was confirmed with new criminal codes in 1922 and 1926. Under Joseph Stalin, the Soviet government reversed course in the late 1920s and promoted harsher policy against LGBTQ rights. In 1933, homosexuality was recriminalised in the Soviet Union, and Article 121, which prohibited male homosexuality, was added to the Soviet penal code in the following year.

    You don’t get to blame this on the Nazis.

    And this was said about able-bodied parasites such as owners of the means of production, shareholders, landlords, and others living off society on non-labor income.

    And Ukrainians, don’t forget Ukrainians. I know enough about early Soviet history to know that Stalin was a cold-blooded murderer. Not that the rest of the Communist Party was full of upstanding global citizens, but Stalin was particularly egregious.
