I understand you, I just think you are a bad person who argues for bad people. I hope that is understandable enough.

And it's fun to see you back in your 1 or two liner mode as soon as you get called out for flat out lying and providing cover for genocidal moves, exactly what someone who is misunderstood would do. | ||

Why would I write another long post when you didn't read the last one. I've already written the long post addressing your nonsense, if you want to read a longer rebuttal then just go read it. | ||

You write as if your country is not providing the bombs that are killing children or the organization that is corralling and shooting at them. You also expect that you can mention EU organization and how they shouldn't build schools and then expect me, as an EU citizen to agree with that when it's obviously a dumb thing to say. This is why I asked you questions and quoted parts, which you ignored. My questions aren't the type of questions that require long posts, they are simple and straight forward. I'll re-itterate them just in case: 1. When was the last time that Israel "traded land for peace" 2. Why were you lying when you said that Israel hasn't invaded Gaza in 18 years when it obviously did, as evidenced by the graph I posted Someone who is a neutral observer who lost hope because both sides are being unreasonable does not feel the need to write things like this, because writing things like this clearly shows a strong bias for one side, which you are absolutely refusing to admit. On October 6th I had a similar bias as you did. Since November of 2023 I can proudly say that I'm biased the other way because Israel is acting genocidaly. | ||

At the same time, massive step-backs can happen quite frequently. Just look at the many controversial rulings by the Supreme Court in the past decade. These step-backs are accompanied by a severe lack of consequences. For example, health insurance denials are causing more and more suffering and victims by the day, but there is no hope of it being addressed. At best, one can hope that after the next elections, there will be a Democratic majority that will push for some minimal compromise. Simultaneously, the people benefiting from the suffering of others are not facing any consequences now or in the future. It is no surprise that people do not trust the system anymore. The obvious lesson is that you should aim for immediate and maximal change regardless of how moral, ethical or legal your methods are, as there will not be sufficient consequences afterwards if you win big enough. If you look at the Project 2025, you can see one attempt at this kind of change and its current implementation attempt. It will take decades to undo your changes. This is, of course, very destructive to society when everyone tries to implement their own agenda one after another. However, at the same time, it is clear that incremental changes will let many suffer for a long time. Looking back into history, plenty of things have required much more direct actions to achieve bigger changes. In many places, Women's suffrage, the 8-hour workday, and desegregation all required more than small incremental changes, and they were achieved with much more direct action than voting or writing letters. The desire for change manifests itself in the more radical opinions on the internet. If these same people had more local grassroots organisations, then the frustration would be funnelled into them. These organisations would probably be much more effective in implementing the change. Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 prove how effective decades-long dedicated movement-building can be, and they do not even need to be popular or do big marches or general strikes for their agenda. You get it. Noone can sell me on incrementalism or electoralism as I see those systems fail aggressively in the face of Fascists and Republicans. | ||

He couldn't paly in the NFL, in large part because he was not good. I'm not sure why this one gets lost in the weeds so much. Janet Jackson is probably a better example of someone being canceled by the right, when it was JT who exposed her breast and he suffered basically zero consequence. | ||

If it means just praying for a Blanquist overthrow of the government, well, good luck with that. That's pretty much the secular version of ignoring the homeless because the Rapture will come soon. | ||

Yeah, Legan is providing the sort of analysis I expect from basically anyone not making stockholm syndromesque rationalizations for watching Dems lose to and enable fascists. | ||

The last time they did it was the last time they were attacked with a state actor who was interested in peace talks in exchange for the recovery of land lost in the conflict. They can't trade land for peace with a party not interested in peace (Hamas) or with whom they have no land (Iran) for reasons that should be obvious, even to the likes of you. They've done it at the most recent opportunity they've had. 2. That graph very much doesn't show what you think it does. You're a very confused person and I hope things get better for you. | ||

Maybe you should try that instead of throwing out condescending one liners. might make actual discussion happen. If you were willing to be 4 personalities surely you try providing actual socialist analysis instead of just bad dems for a while? | ||
