so this is it, right? We’re, like, definitely in WW3 now?

been thinking about this a lot this morning.

Idk, unless there are actual allegations I don’t really see it. Adin Ross seems too stupid to take advantage of anyone.

Indeed, by the time we get to today, it would turn out that having ancestors who fled from the same persecution is much less meaningful a similarity than what the people alive today actually make of that history.

Fair point

This is probably far-fetched, but I’d like to think that Crooks was the first republican to actually be intellectually honest about Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein, and decided to take “kill your local pedophile” to its logical conclusion

You know what, good points. I shouldn’t have fallen for it so quickly

Yeah I’ve been having similar thoughts.

2014-2020 or so was a period of significant ideological change & realignment in the US in a number of ways, but now things have kind of reached a new equilibrium, so the current ideological terrain is probably what we’re going to have for a while. I think this is mostly because the internet & social media reached maximum penetration around 2014, and the 2014-2020 period was just the US’s ideological terrain adjusting to that step change.

(Admittedly, I also might be biased because 2014-2020 is also basically the period when I was 18-25 years old, so of course it seemed to me like a lot of things were in flux)

It’s not even the first time someone has done this experiment, lol

lmfao I didn’t even know that half of it

That’s not what I was getting at. I was assuming that people who come across this post would already know that Israel oppresses non-Jews. My point is that it gets even worse than that: the non-Jews are the numerical majority, so the whole thing is more egregious than many Americans might be aware.

I guess I do think a numerical majority being subjugated is more noteworthy in some ways than a numerical minority.

I brought it up because it kind of disproves the idea that “Jews have a special relationship with that region and/or are uniquely entitled to it.” They’re not even the majority there currently! And they weren’t in 1948 either.

In their perception, Britain turned against the Zionists around 1939 or so (White paper) and sided with the Arabs in opposing a Jewish state after that. So they mean “Independence” as independence from Britain.

I can actually recall a third time, as well

What the hell does “self-determination” even mean? I feel like since 10/7 we’ve all been gaslit into the idea that “self-determination” is some obvious, uncontroversial thing

Free Palestine
