    I think that it is not any intentional 4D chess propaganda or so from any party, personally.

    The first I heard of it was an Israeli describing it as just a cultural interest on TikTok, so like the fun "you know the Irish have 10 words for draft beer?" kind of thing. But then it's spread is likely because everyone seems to have a buy-in. For anti-Zionists, it's a clear description of a cultural phenomenon related to the hubris and destructiveness of Zionism. For anti-Semites, it's pretty clearly playing into the tropes they have long believed about Jews. For Zionists, it's a description of how wise and uncompromising Israel is in the face of worse "pallywood" and bullshit like that

    All groups have an active role in the spreading, because it plays on all fronts perfectly. But it's a mistake for anti-Zionists because such a thing is immaterial as a cause, settler colonialism is the cause of both this cultural phenomenon and the genocide being committed.

    I get the feeling that the "Freyer" discourse (word which basically means the person taken advantage of) is the beginning of the anti-Semitism which will definitely be terrible once this genocide is ended and the Zionists are forced to flee. And it's the fault of the Zionist settler-colony that this will happen.

    Sorry if I'm changing the subject away from the Palestinians themselves (whose suffering immensely eclipses that of anti-jewish sentiments right now, of course), but seeing the comments on Twitter about this concept gave me an insight into the form that the anti-jewish sentiment will be (again) in the future.

    Is there a reason you think it only slightly injured soldiers? Tanks are thought but that looks more like a complete loss sort of explosion

    I instinctively glanced at this, saw AI slop, and scrolled past hurriedly to avoid letting any information get into my head from it.

    Then I though "wtf, hexbear doesn't have ads?" and came back to say it's a shitty ad

    Thanks for your contribution

    Make this a post somewhere, it's a good analysis that I think deserves feedback in its own thread. I'm not an expert on this stuff and so can't challenge it, but I think it deserves some good challenge to sharpen it into a real article or something.

    I came away not understanding anything about why China acted how they did and was disappointed. I had hoped there would be more explicit reference to what seemed like a history of Vietnamese dominance over Cambodians, which can explain some more. But that seemed to only be mentioned in like episode 1 or 2 then not repeated when relevant. But I honestly checked out part way while listening so I am open to correction

  • More than 1.4 million youth and students in DPRK volunteer in Korean People's Army
  • commiewithoutorgans commiewithoutorgans 4d ago 100%

    What's that thing where you can't tell if someone is serious or not? I'm having that, because this is sort of true?

    I think the DPRK probably has some internal contradictions that I don't understand contributing to their society in a negative way, but the sanctions and (so far) endless war and aggression against them is most of the reason for everything we see from the outside looking in. Is that the Rose-tinted glasses? Or are the libs the ones claiming that (and are wrong)?

  • (cw racism) Went out to eat for the first time in ages and got seated next to a table of journalists cooking up their latest CHINESE MENACE article
  • commiewithoutorgans commiewithoutorgans 5d ago 100%

    Roderic Day once again correct despite the pushback received: the Anti-Chinese position is Anti-Semitism with a new ethnicity. Problems inherent to a system blamed on a group which is simultaneously too dumb and unbelievably smart, too weak but immensely powerful, and nowhere specific but EVERYWHERE all the time.

    Now with the added bonus of the Anti-Arab position also being similarly formed with slightly different content

    (added later) And may I add: a group of people which inconveniently has interests disaligned with the current ruling class position

    Well it's the difficulty of a group defining itself as the pinnacle of Judaism (or at least it's biggest representative on the world stage). Dialectically, they reshape what fits within "Judaism" through their actions, including committing a genocide, because they claim to be a part of it. There will be cultural creations reflective of that, and it's not gonna be great.

    Now the solution is to say that Israel formed a new thing, a separate Judaism from the non-Zionists, which committed these crimes and is not reflective of Judaism. Just call is Zionism (it already is Zionism, but you have to form the zeitgeist around something like that). I hope that can be pulled off and convincingly, because innocent Jews will otherwise be subjected to harm. And I hope we get some rad anti-Zionist films and video games which portray them as the evil they are.

    The biggest risk, which we should already prepare for, is that this redefining will be captured by western media to make "Zionism" ONLY about specific actions and not about settler-colonialism more broadly. Like media will try to lump all non-IDF Israelis, and even some of the "nicer" IDF, out of the "evil people" narrative. Then we will have another "of course Hitler was bad, but the average German who just gave up Jews to the SS were normal and ok people."

    Thanks for the time and comment!

    I think through reading your 2nd part there, about being open-minded, kinda helped me realize my feeling a bit better. I find myself often wondering if my questioning of my gender is because of a question about gender existing broadly, universally, or a question about my own experience of my gender. And I have no answer for that but am happy floating there.

    So thanks for the comment, definitely helped a good amount.

    It's always cool to imagine that freedom of non-binary, love it for you!
