  • US security plan: EU's Kallas downplays fear of rift in ties

    Jump

  • There won't be a rift so long as at the southeastern part of Europe there is still a tension between Turkey and Greece/Cyprus. The Americans are the only ones who care to manage that tension (in the most toxic way possible) while the Europeans can't be bothered to give a shit. That's actually the Achilles heel of European unity and the Americans know it.

  • Oh sorry. So removing all mention of nuance from my previous comment, and adding a bit about tankies, because we can't have shitposting without mentioning tankies:

  • Sure add: Greece. Portugal. Italy. France. Spain. Armed antifascist struggles, may 68, general strikes, civil wars, guerilla groups, etc.

    Like the reductiveness of "West bad" is so insanely naive that it hurts.

  • There is nothing unique about Zionism in how it weaponizes religion. Same as "Christian nationalism" in the US, like Hindutva in India, like all kinds of Islamism, like Francoism or like any other clerical fascism. We should be better than to accept the weaponized forms of religions. Unless you consider something as silly as "Mohammed was a pedophile" as a useful counter to Daesh, which is terminally unserious.

  • This is antisemitism. Don't do it, don't upvote it, don't spread it. Israeli ethnonationalism is not reducible to the Jewish religion. There is nothing in Judaism that deterministically leads to apartheid and genocide. Many Jews see the "chosen people" story as an intergenerational responsibility to unfuck the world (Tikkun Olam). Many Jews are antizionists precisely because of their Judaism.

  • The fact that this was up for debate, the fact that there are countries that choose to boycott as a result, the fact that this is news: these are wins people. The cracks have formed and it's starting to buckle. It is now normal and mainstream to talk about boycotting the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime. Even the German apartheid-apologist institutions are forced to say they respect the decisions of non-apologist ones. Don't take this as reason for cynicism and disappointment, it's quite the opposite! Apartheid South Africa didn't get boycotted, isolated and forced to recon with its crimes all at once, it was a process. KEEP PUSHING!

  • Fascists don't solve problems. They just blame then on vulnerable demographics. Once the immigrants are gone and the problems stay, they will find someone else to blame until there. There is no bottom.

  • You seem to assume that mergers and acquisitions are not an essential part of a market economy. Left to their own devices, capitalists will always end up trying to form monopolies. You need a strong regulatory state to keep them in check. But then because they are inexorably pulled towards maximizing profitability, they will try to capture the state and deregulate. So, unless you go to a very aggressively anticapitalist set of policies a market economy will never be "functioning" for long.

  • There are two hazards in our discussion:

    1. someone being called racist
    2. someone suffering from systemic racism

    I prioritize hazard 1 as having a lower consequence than hazard 2.

    In other words, I care much more about eradicating systemic racism than the hurt feelings of someone whose motives are misunderstood.
