You’re making weak arguments for why “Israel” cannot CAN (EDIT: lol fucked up the whole statement) exist long-term as a US proxy and settler project. It’s not that settler colonial projects are innately doomed. “Israel” is a project sustained through bitter sub-imperialist machinations and a tug of war with its US masters.

The fact is their nuclear reactors are in range of those pesky Iranian missiles preceded by swarms of $200 drones whenever they want to take them out, and the colonists need their treats and their electricity to not run back to the US.

That’s what makes it funnier that this guy didn’t even try to push back against your argument and dismissed you as what he sees as “right deviationists”.

It doesn’t mean anything, he thinks that patsocs = MAGA socialists, he is just insulting you. He thinks the most outrageous clips of right wing morons on twitch are all the same talking points as Midwestern Marx, who talks about how activists simultaneously shit on the settler state and gesture to the few progressive aspects of the outcome of the Revolutionary War.

It just goes to show you that “MAGA communists” are all feds shitcoating real discussion of the labor aristocracy and anti-imperialism.

That is a guy who added a tagline to the site about being drunk and high all day if you’re going to moderate! They just want the vibe of Hasan’s Twitch chat on their instance.

I just don’t see why rejecting dualism pushes these people to leap to new forms of irrationalism dealing in the material world rather than really accepting their limits. I think it’s more about the temptation of being a public figure, it’s mostly their ego.

I am pretty sure we can account for all of the mechanics of consciousness and reincarnation once we develop our understanding of physics for another few thousand years.

Here’s what I know, the world didn’t end when anyone else died before me. Here we are. I feel like insecurity about that leads a lot of people to talk about these things more than we need to.

Yes also stapled the idea of atheism to creepy nihilism and yet more social darwinism, one of the worst aspects of religion

Sad to see a fucking geneticist endorse social darwinism, too common

Wow, you can’t make this shit up.

Wow, you can’t make this shit up,

the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread

Oh I just thought your site was dead. I can’t even find the megas here. Haha. For context I have been a (okay maybe not “a” user lol) user on Lemmy/Hexgrad for years. Had no idea any of this took place while I continued posting here. Reddit mods stay coming up with pointless rules

You know, most of the time people call that a “containment thread” and they mean to deliberately annoy the people they ask to “move their stuff out of the way”

Straight up Holocaust Denial and Nazi apologia,

Finns don’t even have anything else apart from this and liquor

I think a lot of them are just in a position to have the imaginary class position of being petit boug in the same way a guy with a retirement package and a mortgage has the option of convincing himself the stock market and real estate’s ability to Maintain Value are the most important things in the world.

Personally I’m more concerned about Ethics In Gaming Journalism

There are two types of “patsocs” as people call them, they’re both extremely small groups who dislike western marxists for very different reasons.

“MAGA communists” are like this, hammering home memes for engagement, they don’t believe in anything. Sameera Khan, Infrared, and Hinkle fall into this category. They have politics which are repulsive to everyone.

“patsocs” write little books about how MLK Jr. made curtsies to the minor progressive aspects of the American Revolution. If they briefly appeal to the “MAGA communist” people, it is because they believe in talking to receptive people who have misguided ideas to correct them rather than scolding people outright. They run into the same issue there as dealing with NATO-anarchist people: it’s just a social media group that collectively attracts attention.

The latter group is quite agreeable unless you read Settlers and refused to ever read volume 3 of Capital. It’s much easier to correct their ideas than “anarchists” for the same reason why you people can be seen demonstrating on behalf of “Israel” in “Germany”. It’s a way of being anticommunist while feeling good about yourself instead of hating women.

You could have just shortened that to “idk”

99% of people who say that learned it from youtubers using soyjak memes for engagement

Nobody knows who Terry Davis even was

Interesting find, I haven’t had any issues with opening stuff in Firefox yet but could be handy

You don’t think Lemmy.world’s botting, sockpuppetry, and heavy-handed moderation is extreme lol?

Lmao @ the name

Okay I guess hypothetically yes it is better to be able to keep your balance and be more formidable, but this is still preparation for Japanese Trot style street battles instead of accepting that when things come to violence we need to be armed or it turns into a fucking clown fiesta that martial arts training has precious little relevance to

Engaging in martial arts LARP battles is legitimately proud boy agitator shit, there is a leveling aspect to gunfighting (although the statement “God made man, Samuel Colt made them equal” is completely false in every respect) this is a level of escalation that has none of those benefits and many of the negatives. I’m not advocating for people to be defenseless because I think they can’t handle having training. Just saying as a strategy this seems bunk to me.
