I mean, the CPC in general for scapegoating immigrants, supporting Israel, ignoring climate change and anti-worker pro-rich policies? It’s basic conservative stuff, and it pretty much universally makes the non-1% world a worse place to live.
Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.

Even if we disagree with the stance of the opposition, we should want them to be at minimum, logical, representative of the principles of the people who cast votes for them, and an effective check on the government.
Being competent is only good when one is not evil (which rightwing politicians are almost by definition). Also there’s no relation between being competent and representing the people who voted for them, and only acting as a check on the government when it tries to do something good is worse than not doing so at all. An effective opposition not acting in the interest of the people just becomes a ratchet holding back progress.
I’m not sure if it 100% counts, but probably this. It’s the kind of religious wish fulfillment I usually can’t tolerate, but the rhythm is too good. It’s in my playlist, but I absolutely wouldn’t listen to it in front of anyone who can understand the lyrics.


This doesn’t even make sense as pedantry because the “that” in their comment wouldn’t make sense unless it was the latter.


The course of Israeli history was essentially unaffected by Holocaust survivors, so his only mistake relevant here was not dying sooner.


But on the other hand the petrodollar dies, which isn’t exactly good for US global influence.


The antisemites will be our allies
-Theodor Herzl (paraphrased because I can’t be assed to get the original quote).
No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt.
They always have been; it just took a livestreamed genocide for Westerners to get the point.


(This is a song about not taking drugs, but it’s framed as a drug bragging about being really bad).


Oh shit you’re right. I guess technically the CCP does have anti-air capabilities while China the country does not. This also means the PLA is the world’s largest leftwing militia.


Okay this is a cope. It’s an All Lives Matter-style fig leaf that pretends people can’t condemn two things at once.


Why disappointment? Jeffries is an American capital plant; this is very consistent with his track record.


The CCP, being a political party, does not in fact have anti-air capabilities. The country they run, China, has anti-air capabilities.


Sure that’s a fair point, but then we’d expect other polls to produce similar results. It’s not like we have to take their word for it.


“The entire political spectrum” doesn’t mean “every single person ever,” or even “every single politician ever.” The implication is only that the statement applies to all political segments of the population. If the left, right and center (and any other significant political blocs) mostly agree on something, then the whole political spectrum supports it, even if some people don’t.


Echoing basically all other replies: Israel doesn’t actually have the juice to get their lebensraum alone; they need all sorts of American and European support for it. Cutting off their support would immediately destroy their position as regional near-hegemon and force them to compromise.


The poll they cite only polled 500 people
Which is more than enough. Statistically, you only need 30 or so samples to get a normal distribution, at which case the error varies with 1/sqrt(n) for sample size n. This means that if a sample size of 8000 would only have 4 times less error (so from 4% to 2%) compared to one of 500. The mathematics of the thing is ironclad: Provided the sample is representative (i.e. doesn’t unfairly over or underrepresent a particular group) and exceeds the mid-double digits*, any issues with sample size would manifest as a large calculated error.


There’s literally Israeli Kinesset members that oppose the genocide in Gaza and the war with Iran.
How many?


K? Are we supposed to look up to previous US presidents as authorities on international law?


Israel is doing that too, but also America has a lot more domestic opposition to its leadership’s naked imperialism than Israel. This opposition rarely translates to action making it more or less worthless, but still, Americans do better on the “do you not like naked imperialism” index than Israeli Jews.
Nothing to say about the political violence that wouldn’t be, well, political, so instead I’ll ask: What the hell is up with your username?
