“Self-ownership” is what happens when libertarians try to argue with intelligent Marxists. They try to “own” the Marxist but end up owning themselves.

RETVRN guys who preach white supremacy based on how “white people” supposedly did all these incredible things in history are pathetic.
Let’s grant them their premise. Okay?What have you accomplished in your life? Why are you taking credit for things you had nothing to do with?

People need to stop arguing with Zionists about how Jews are not “indigenous” to Palestine. They love that debate. It concedes their whole notion that people are only entitled to live there based on their race/ethnicity.

Jews were expelled from Britain and Spain. They weren’t “indigenous” to these lands. It doesn’t matter. It was still wrong and they had every right to live there in peace and dignity.

Former Austrian painter and WWI veteran Adolf Hitler, who became a German politician prior to WWII, has died by suicide in Berlin.
The jokes write themselves here, people.

I’ve learned to not engage in debates with people who practice what I call “epistemic negation.”
It’s is a bad faith debate tactic. It’s the refusal to allow sufficiently established premises to become common ground for debate.

This is designed to frustrate debate rather than engage in good faith.
Debate and persuasion are good things. The left should be able to defend their positions, refute opposing ones, and persuade non-ideologues.
But I don’t think it’s worth engaging with people who do this.

The left should really study what went wrong in Brazil. Bolsonaro's failson coming to power isn't the same as Trump coming back to power. Lula, unlike Biden, is a man of the left.
And tbh, I've got some homework to do in this respect.

During Woke 1.0, a guy called me out for using the word “stupid.” The term implied ableism and was as bad as “the R-word,” he informed me.
This same guy was later called out for calling someone a “bootlicker.” Because the term kink shamed many in the BDSM community.

Israel has spent NOTHING on humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Virtually no aid to Gaza has been funded by the Israeli treasury—only international organizations. Compare that to the US who spent billions of dollars of its own money on humanitarian aid after the invasion of Iraq.

The Iraq War was a crime. A terrible and destructive one at that! But it looks positively saintly compared to what Israel has done in Gaza.
For the US, they at least acted like their war was against Saddam Hussein, not Iraqi civilians. Israel makes no such distinction in Gaza.

The vast majority of Jewish Israelis believe “there are no innocents in Gaza.” This isn’t just rhetoric or unfortunate, racist attitudes toward Palestinians in Gaza. It’s reflected in how Israel treats civilians in Gaza.
