You’re making weak arguments for why “Israel” cannot CAN (EDIT: lol fucked up the whole statement) exist long-term as a US proxy and settler project. It’s not that settler colonial projects are innately doomed. “Israel” is a project sustained through bitter sub-imperialist machinations and a tug of war with its US masters.

The fact is their nuclear reactors are in range of those pesky Iranian missiles preceded by swarms of $200 drones whenever they want to take them out, and the colonists need their treats and their electricity to not run back to the US.

That’s what makes it funnier that this guy didn’t even try to push back against your argument and dismissed you as what he sees as “right deviationists”.

It doesn’t mean anything, he thinks that patsocs = MAGA socialists, he is just insulting you. He thinks the most outrageous clips of right wing morons on twitch are all the same talking points as Midwestern Marx, who talks about how activists simultaneously shit on the settler state and gesture to the few progressive aspects of the outcome of the Revolutionary War.

It just goes to show you that “MAGA communists” are all feds shitcoating real discussion of the labor aristocracy and anti-imperialism.

That is a guy who added a tagline to the site about being drunk and high all day if you’re going to moderate! They just want the vibe of Hasan’s Twitch chat on their instance.

literally just follow his “political musings” on RSS and you’ll see the shortcomings of user freedom as a force of liberation even in one man’s brain lmao

most of the weapons needed to produce a war of that caliber have been used up in ukraine already

Think about what specifically remains in Western stockpiles, please. WMDs delivered by the air force. We can talk about why WW3 hasn’t resulted from precision missile strikes of NATO command centers in Ukraine, or Iran precision striking “Israel” as a warning they can do the same to all of their nuclear reactors. We can talk about us “already being in WWIII” (my take, as we aren’t really at peace at all LOL). But in the event of the actual strategic level mass missile exchange, I think people are correct to say it would be the end of civilization as we know it on Earth.

@frippa@lemmy.ml also i hate eugene like you wouldn’t believe. i would imagine it stings their admins to see an unprincipled greedy nerd called out, deep down

you said “first world country” and their blood ran cold

Sure but lots of people have superficial attachments to phrases they pick up online. I’ve just seen a lot of incoherent/bad irony-mixed-with-sincerity posting and I give people a shot across the bow first. If the followup to being debunked is more playing dumb then you know.

It’s not like everyone visiting the site can remember how to counter this story. Keep in mind Montefiore is a very mainstream historian so this will keep coming up. I’ve seen a lot of people fail to reply to this in full. It’s good to remind people about the extent to which the historians we don’t read make fallacious claims and how to approach them.

It’s a shame, because the entire debunk sort of exposes how desperate people were to heap lies on his legacy.

I really see the whole Lemmy/Reddit moderation strategy as a failed experiment but it hasn’t completely killed the sites at least. Extreme pruning down to seriously out of touch people.

Wow, you can’t make this shit up.

Wow, you can’t make this shit up,

Yeah, a shame they immediately removed and banned this person, this was probably just an idiot child. It’s not like their one sentence is going to destroy Stalin’s legacy.

I would have been happy to explain the other flaws in the historical works of Simon Sebag Montefiore.

To put it simply, he is a pro-Romanov British man who was in Jeffrey Epstein’s contact book.

But the “Siberian comedy” treats the alleged victim like a punchline without providing any evidence. He clearly finds it funny.

My first thought is this is like Verso Books and old Zero Books but for the ScheerPost style limited hangout Seymour Hersh/John Mearshimer-quoting spook journalism cultists

I immediately identify a bunch of figures in the ANSWER-Brian Becker-PSL activist NGO complex here.

Dumb, people can indirectly contribute to childrearing, if we’re childmaxxing here

Straight up Holocaust Denial and Nazi apologia,

Finns don’t even have anything else apart from this and liquor

I don’t know why I assumed this would be dwindling in the current Polish climate.

big ouughs from me this week

I think a lot of them are just in a position to have the imaginary class position of being petit boug in the same way a guy with a retirement package and a mortgage has the option of convincing himself the stock market and real estate’s ability to Maintain Value are the most important things in the world.

There are two types of “patsocs” as people call them, they’re both extremely small groups who dislike western marxists for very different reasons.

“MAGA communists” are like this, hammering home memes for engagement, they don’t believe in anything. Sameera Khan, Infrared, and Hinkle fall into this category. They have politics which are repulsive to everyone.

“patsocs” write little books about how MLK Jr. made curtsies to the minor progressive aspects of the American Revolution. If they briefly appeal to the “MAGA communist” people, it is because they believe in talking to receptive people who have misguided ideas to correct them rather than scolding people outright. They run into the same issue there as dealing with NATO-anarchist people: it’s just a social media group that collectively attracts attention.

The latter group is quite agreeable unless you read Settlers and refused to ever read volume 3 of Capital. It’s much easier to correct their ideas than “anarchists” for the same reason why you people can be seen demonstrating on behalf of “Israel” in “Germany”. It’s a way of being anticommunist while feeling good about yourself instead of hating women.

You could have just shortened that to “idk”

…

99% of people who say that learned it from youtubers using soyjak memes for engagement

Nobody knows who Terry Davis even was
