Thanks for the explanation! Was wondering what the hell was going on, too.

And if you can convince someone else to watch it with you, even better! Unfortunately, it's so hard to get my partner to watch new shows and movies lol.

I think there was crazy inflation in some countries during the Arab Spring, too. Which also makes it hard to get food.

But with that logic, my friends have the right to go to Italy and Ireland, kick out native Italians and Irish and take their houses, because they're Italian-American or Irish-American. That's not how it works or how it should work. Its the same reason I wouldn't have supported the Liberia project of having African-Americans go back to Africa and kick out and oppress the natives just because they were mistreated in the US, if I was alive at the time. It led to centuries of indigenous oppression and civil wars, like Israel and Palestine nowadays. We shouldn't be looking to imitate that level of colonial superiority anywhere else.

Hopefully the Windows debacle and abortion and Palestinian resistance issues in the US remind people why privacy is important.

Hopefully they feel vindicated when everyone sanctions Isreal.

Talking to these people while pretending to be Christian conservatives or racists seems like the best way to catch them out. Smart of the documentary film maker.

It sounds like the opposite. Do you even know what Zionism is? It's calling for a place Jews from all over the world can go via. They bring in people from all over the world, lots of them have dual citizenships. Because Jewish people can trace genealogic origins there from thousands of years ago doesn't make some lady from Europe or New York the same as some local Palestinian kid at all. They then kick out the natives and give their homes to these settlers. They've been doing it since the 40's. People can look over the wall and see where they, their parents, or their grandparents used to live.

I recommend looking up the history of Zionism, including the European Jews that forwarded it, like Theodore Herzl, and the different places they considered for it (Uganda,Argentina, Cyprus, etc) before settling on Palestine.

A map and basic understanding of indigenous resistance.

Wow that's incredible. We're still making such incredible discoveries despite Mars being so close to home.

I'm probably going to have to watch it again. There was so much going on, so many mysteries and conspiracies, that I've forgotten most of it by this time.

Damn you were right. Scrolled down a bit and they were all over. Did Hasbara finally find Lemmy, or had there been a new wave of propagandized redditors leaving to come here?

There's nowhere else for Hamas to set up. There's civilians in all of Gaza. It's an extremely densely populated region, even more so now that it's being cleared and destroyed. Second, Hamas was created in response to Israeli aggression that already existed. Surrendering would just bring them to the status quo that inspired the First Intifada, when Palestinians were still being attacked, killed, restricted, oppressed, and their land steadily taken for more than 20 years already. People don't respond well to that and to expect them to sit there and being slowly ethnically cleansed again is unrealistic. The correct take is to oppose Israel and it's settler colonialism.

Why is this post down voted so hard? Is it because it didn't have a link at first?

I'm guessing by this logic you're not voting for Biden, or don't support voting for him if you don't live in the US?

There's hypothetically a bunch of different version of communism for everyone. The thing is, Marx described the problems with capitalism, and some vague sense of what socialism could be, some guidelines of what it should aim for, then kind of left the details up to each individual society to get there how they think is best based on their individual material conditions. He gave his own guesses, but didn't think he could predict that part fully, it would be up to the people of the future to figure it out and build on. A third world country, rural serf based near fuedal society, like Russia, would have completely different needs from some post-industrial country, like if Germany turned communist, for example. If the world's sole superpower, the US, turned communist, it would probably be a lot different than communist countries that had to transition under siege neighboring imperialism, like Cuba, North Korea, or Vietnam.

This is just to answer your last question. Don't think this really addresses your other questions, but just wanted to explain that part, as I've had it explained to me before. But I generally agree with you. There should still be some form of democracy but it might look different than what we are used to here in the US or liberal west.

Woah, crazy. So I should start listening to their other stuff besides that one song?

Ya thanks for the interesting POV. I'll try to look at it from that angle when I finally make it out over there.

I guess it's a combination of spamming plus one point of view. That still doesn't really strike me as bannable, as most people will post articles they agree with and hence want to share that way. As long as the posted articles are true, then the only issue I see is the spamming part, which is the only thing I agree could be an issue.

I'd definitely still love to see it one day. And now at least that won't catch me off guard lol.
