  • Nah. All it takes is investment and commitment to treating electricity like a utility beyond the profit imperative. Look at what China is doing with sodium-ion batteries.

  • NDP statement on Iran bombings

    Jump

  • You mean the last five years during which, the WHO, a major UN agency played a key role in coordinating the international response to a global pandemic?

    Or the last five years during which the WFP, another major UN agency has prevented starvation for millions of people, in places like Sudan and Yemen, and was instrumental in the Ukraine Grain deal?

    Or are you talking about the UNCHR, aiding about 120 million refugees? Or maybe UNICEF, that manages the immunization of nearly half of all human children?

    Is the UN perfect? No. Would the world be better without it? Fuck no.

    If daydreaming is what keeps the world from turning into a hellscape, well daydream on brother.

  • A, a, a, a, careful there. Read what I actually wrote, I was very careful. I said "people ascribe tropes". I didn't talk about what people are, I talked about what tropes they ascribe.

    At this point, I don't think I have anything else to discuss with you. Toodles.

  • NDP statement on Iran bombings

  • Sigh. Multiple things can be true simultaneously. Israel doesn't represent all Jews. Israel doesn't have to represent all Jews for people to ascribe to it classic antisemitic tropes. Calling out those antisemitic tropes because perpetuating them hurts all Jews is not spreading Israeli propaganda.

    It's not that hard.

    • The Bloods and the Crips do not represent black culture. They don't have to represent black culture for people to ascribe to them classic anti-black racist tropes. Calling out those racist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all black people is not doing gang propaganda.
    • TERFs do not represent all feminist politics. They don't have to represent all feminist politics for people to ascribe to them classic sexist tropes. Calling out those sexist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all women is not transphobic propaganda.

    I can keep going. This is the kind of hair splitting you need to be able to do if you want to call yourself educated.

  • Pretty presumptuous of you to assume that someone pointing out antisemitism to you needs a lesson on all the ways the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime is a genocidal apartheid regime.

    Beyond that I've nothing to add to what I previously wrote. It's pretty clear.

  • Saying that Israel controls the world's governments is an antisemitic trope that is entirely unnecessary for condemning Israeli apartheid and the Gaza genocide. I brought up the recognition of Palestine not to say that Canada has a pro-palestinine policy, but to make the simple point that our policy is not controlled by Israel (if we were, we would not have done it).

    Does there exist a big pro-israel bias in western mainstream politics? Yes. But that is not *control". Control implies absolute power on the part of the controller and lack of agency on the part of the controlled.

    I'm guessing he had more urgent things to do.

  • ‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 80 children reportedly killed in school bombing

    Jump

  • Ah I understand, good clarification.

  • NDP statement on Iran bombings

    Jump

  • Nah that's a silly antisemitic trope, refuted easily by the simple fact that Canada recognized Palestine a few months ago.

  • He could have made a simple statement urging calm and restraint. No need to take sides.

  • ‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 80 children reportedly killed in school bombing

    Jump

  • That's entirely irrelevant to any radicalized Iranian who saw American bombs killing innocent school children.
