[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

I don't have a preferred "side". This isn't sportsball.
Also I'm not American though I did manage to find a half decent independent to vote for in the GE last year. Maybe if voters like you stopped voting for your "team" regardless of how utterly crap they are, they might get the message.
You can’t really discuss this topic with them. These people have completely abandoned the notions of personal agency and accountability. They are in deep denial.
Everything is someone else’s fault, mainly Jews and America but it extends to basically any entity that’s convenient to blame at the time.
I will admit that it is likely that Trump wins even without these idiot’s support. However, the sheer stupidity and self destructiveness of those voters is obviously very concerning for reasonable people. No one wants to be tied to a group who might self sabotage themselves on a whim.
Lol claiming you don’t have a side and likening it to “sportsball”. This guy is like the head cheerleader for one of the sides and he says he doesn’t have a side lmao. If you didn’t have a side you’d have displayed some parity and nuance in your statements up until now. Like I said, these people are in deep denial.
I don't have a side in UK general elections. Hope that's spelled it out for you in simple enough terms. bfn
The ones in control are obviously not believing in any Abrahamic God. Most people acknowledge them as atheists. But I'm kinda like, well, if they have values which exactly match those of Satanists maybe they are Satanic or in effect Satanic.
When we see children being sniper shot and the killers cheering about it what is the difference between the killers of children and Satan worshippers? Agency? Opportunity? No difference in action and action is what matters.

Children aren't being sniped. There is no genocide. The Earth is round.
There are more Christian Zionists in the world than Jewish or atheist Zionists. It took a combo of Christian nutters and Israeli atheist/Satan worshippers to create the human rights abomination we are witnessing. That's been the history going back to Balfour and it's still happening today but with an influx of corruption enabled by the creation of extreme concentrated individual wealth in Zionist hands.
So Sheldon Adelson's disgusting pig widow gives Trump's campaign 100 million dollars. I mean w
Your posts have a creepy Qanon vibe. It's like you read one of their articles or watch a video then quickly come to the forum to parrot what you learned. MAGA and Qanon is not a good mix.
Despise is a strong word but they have been trending down heavily globally for over a year.
caveat that Morning Consult has a left bias rating and finding data on this is harder than I would have imagined
--New article from the Economist. A couple interesting tidbits. Qatar owns something between 25-50% of the Economist. The author of this tweet (also the author of the article?) is a former English language contributor to the Qatari owned propaganda outlet Al Jazeera.
--I am going to go out on a giant ledge and guess The Economist has not been particularly critical of Qatar since they bought a large stake in it. And conversely have not been particularly positively inclined towards Israel.

You're equivocating on sides. Obviously what I mean by side isn't akin to "sportsball" which is completely arbitrary. Sportsball doesn't decide who lives and who dies, or what the disposition of the most powerful nation on earth is going to be for American voters, or what the disposition of one of the most influential nations is going to be in the case of British voters, or what the disposition of their own nation which will have the most impact on them in everyone else's case that has to deal with a two party system.
The idea that you would compare it to that actually shows how unserious YOU are, not how unserious I am. It's really a self-own if anything.
No, you.

So you’re fine with aipac owning all the politicians in the US?
Why are you against registering them as a foreign entity?

Except for the fact the far left and far right are ageeeing on stopping foreign aid…
How do you rationalize university students who hate trump agreeing w the qanon vibe?
This isn’t a left vs right paradigm… especially when both parties are fine w genocide and apartheid.
The world knows what’s up and is seeing through the western propaganda.

Not sure why you believe that. the single biggest shareholders of the economist group at abofe 40% are the Agnelli, the italian family which had FIAT (the italian part of Stellantis).
Rest is mostly historic british families , "old money" aristocrats / bankers and the like.

Wat? The destruction of the enemies of Israel is a huge part of what the Abrahamic god is all about.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt, / therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword. / I will take My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know My vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’
And what seems to be Netanyahu's favorite verse which he referenced right after Oct 7.
Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. 18 When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and attacked all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God. 19 When the Lord your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land he is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you shall blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Saul actually loses his divine mandate to rule in the story because he disobeys this order and spares the Amalek King as well as some livestock for later use/sacrifice. I don't think Satan ever shows much interest in the geopolitics of the Levant.

According to the internets the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) has a significant stake in "The Economist Group" through its subsidiary Exor. I hope you can appreciate that that is exactly the point of the QIA, is to throw around billions of dollars in Western institutions, private and public, to manipulate positions and policies.
Regardless, this particularly author did write for Al Jazeera, has done a tremendous amount of journalism over the last 10 years, pretty much all criticizing Israel, and having nothing bad to say about Qatar. And this article should not be treated as unbiased journalism; it should be treated as extremely biased propaganda.
ok but exor absolute controllers are the Agnelli who own the majority of the voting shares of that "family chest".
John Elkann (CEO of exor, Ferrari and stellantis) is half-jew.
I agree the article is a bad faith attack but I can't see it endorsed by the owners of the economist group (who have business interests in Israel startups among other things), rather as just a bad editorial choice made by the lower level people who make daily decisions for the economist
There is plenty of evidence, physical and otherwise, reported in mainstream news, that Palestinian children are being intentionally sniper shot by the Israeli army. If I didn't think you were psychologically immune to evidence I would gather it for you and present it to you. It takes about 2 minutes or less.
What elements of genocide are lacking in Gaza since you supposedly know more than the experts in international law who have formed a consensus and obtained rulings in international courts that there is a genocide going on? ("God told my ancient ancestor the land is ours" doesn't count as a mitigating factor unless you have some evidence of a supernatural nature)
I would say the Earth is globular, spherical. Round is not the best word. Our difference here underscores that perhaps you just don't understand word meanings very well.
Would you like to share your definitions of genocide and "sniper shot" which don't implicate Israel? Maybe you've only lost your dictionary and not your humanity.

Qanon? How so? I'll play along and pretend you're sincerely saying that but please draw some substantial parallel. It's highly likely I have more knowledge on this topic than anyone here, including any Israelis. My education on it started more than 15 years ago and I've viewed the conflict as the vanguard in the fight for human rights and the sustainability of human civilization. I've simply read more books and discussed the topic more than, probably, any of you. My history in this forum on this topic goes back to the original thread, maybe more than a decade at this point. I'm happy to discuss any sub topic. This thread is a lot more surface and driven by current events, although the current events certainly provide a lot more clarity as to the aims of the Zionist project. You can see in my history going way back here I was describing the intentions of state of Israel in ways that have proved accurate. I was banned for this several times because the pro Israeli posters of that thread, who were way more knowledgeable and more sophisticated than the pro Israeli posters ITT, were obsessed with silencing me. Now what I said then is considered standard understanding on the Left.
I'm not MAGA. I am against the Democrats and the Republicans. But it is true I hate the Dems more, in the way that you hate the traitor more than the original enemy.
The MSM tried to push the narrative that there was a systemic policy of sniping children. They’ve dropped that story and haven’t touched it in months because the evidence never panned out.
The crack man continues his comedy tour by suggesting he is the most knowledgeable poster in here. Mind blowingly funny.
