How convenient... every time Israel indiscriminately murders Palestinians, it's just going to be blamed on Palestinians?

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?

Also, i thought ghengis khan was all about meritocracy.

No... Genghis Khan wasn't a joke. Meritocracy is.

Putting everything in the hands of the State is a recipe of disaster.

Tell me you don't understand what the word socialism means without telling me you don't understand what the word socialism means.

And if it does everything, it's communist-er.

It's amazing how the funding for space exploration just magically appears when nationalist pissing contests are a go-go. But healthcare? How could we possibly afford it?

Vote for whom?

It feels like as soon as Biden got into office a lot of people on the left threw their BLM signs in the garbage

This happens every time a lib gets into the Waffle House - the liberals will ride the coat tails of the resistance the left puts up against the establishment, and go to sleep as soon as the "good cop" is back in the driving seat. It happened with Obama and Clinton, too.

If you look at it real hard, you'll see that right-wing agitation builds most of it's momentum when there is a lib in charge - there's a good reason they say that fascism can only sprout after liberals have loosened the ground for it.

As long as there are capitalists around to parasitize off people there will be fascists to protect them from people doing something about it. That's their one trick... and that's why it's still working.

We would run out of it very quickly

No. We wouldn't. The labor would simply be spent on that which people find important.

Nobody’s going to grow crops for you out of the goodness

Says who? PragerU?

That’s why capitalism exists in the first place.

No, Clyde... that's not it. Maybe don't extrapolate your politics from Civilization games, okay?

That has already been attempted several times

Yes, it has... and everywhere it was tried it was destroyed by fascists, capitalists and other power-hoarders because they were afraid it might work. For instance, Catalonia in the middle 30s and Ukraine in the early 20s.

Machines may yet solve this problem for us,

No, they won't.

and we’ve got the history to prove it.

Alt-history doesn't actually count as real history.
