As a non-USian viewing all this from the outside, I’d say blaming the people at the bottom for what the largest gaslighting machine in the history of human civilization has managed to achieve is absolutely masochistic.

Your anti-democratic political establishment is to blame for this.

When it comes to war, the two parties are always in agreement.

And that’s the left’s fault how?

You lost me at “Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine.” You can just call it what it is… an invasion.

And if you think “the left” in the US is so powerful that it could have made any kind of dent in the narratives surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine I have to call bullshit.

That and the outright censorship you see escalating all over the western world points to one thing - the massive failure of the western propaganda model itself.

and care for its citizens,

If the Israeli government cared about the people it (supposedly) represents it wouldn’t be turning them into violent colonialist goons to do the west’s bidding in the middle-east, would it?

You might just as well ask how to fix the Apartheid-regime without upsetting white people or fix the Nazi regime without discomforting Nazis.

The conflict is extremely complicated.

It really isn’t. It’s just pro-Israeli propaganda pretending it’s complicated.

You just tried to say that Israel’s supporters are antisemitic?

No. I never tried to say it.

I just plain said it - the countries that enable Israel is as antisemitic and white supremacist as they have always been. They’ve been hiding it since WW2 - but, as the resurgence of mask-off far-right ideology in the US and Europe proves, it’s still the same old west.

The west’s support for Israel has always been antisemitic - dumping European Jewish people in Palestine was literally one the Nazi’s potential solutions to the “Jewish Question”. It’s no secret - just mundane history that westerners doesn’t like talking about.

Christian Zionism predates Jewish Zionism - the whole reason these white supremacist and antisemitic societies fantasized about a modern-day “Israel” was simply because they did not believe Jewish people belonged in their precious “white” societies.

You don’t have to think about it for very long to see it for yourself - who were the people that made it so difficult for Jewish people to “belong” in western societies? If the US was so friendly and welcoming to Jewish people as the US wants to pretend it is (prominent Jewish people like Steven Spielberg and Noam Chomsky will happily tell you about US-style antisemitism), why would Jewish people need a “homeland” in the middle-east?

It’s never just been the US - Israel doesn’t just have a whole bunch of enablers… said enablers also back the very idea of a modern-day Israel.

France, the UK, Germany, Australia, Apartheid-era South Africa all played their part in helping with all this - I guess the fact that it’s all countries with histories that are deeply entwined with white supremacism, antisemitism and colonialism is purely coincidence, eh?

Crikey… did you see this one?

Also, i thought ghengis khan was all about meritocracy.

No… Genghis Khan wasn’t a joke. Meritocracy is.

Not socialism.

There is such a thing as a “non-extremist” right-winger?

I learnt meritocracy is a joke long before I discovered that it was literally invented to be a joke.

Most of my coworkers can barely make it through their own tasks

I guess you haven’t met many CEOs, then.

They will still sell the products they produce in a marketplace.

There is no rule that states they have to sell squat in a marketplace. They could, but they also couldn’t. That’s the whole point of the workers owning the means of production - the workers involved makes those deicisions, not a capitalist or bureaucratic parasite class.

There’s only one kind of democratic economy and we already have a word for it - it’s socialism. If the means of production isn’t owned by the workers it’s not democratic. It’s not socialist.

The US has been waging unprovoked war on Latin America since before WW1.

The only thing new about this is that this irredeemable piece of garbage is stating the quiet part out loud.

But it already is, isn’t it?

So if this…

nobody’s main defining characteristic should be their gender.

…is what you really want you need to start with cis people and not transgender ones, correct?

We need less progressives and less conservatives. What we need more of is radicals.

We desperately need a third or multi party system

So, instead of fixing the problem, you merely suggest adding a third element to it?
