Fun fact: two distinct events from 1969 and 1976 might not accurately represent the Left in 2025.

I never said they did. But they demonstrate that we can’t just assume that people aren’t antisemitic just because they are left(-leaning). Unless of course you don’t want to learn from history.

generally assume that people, and especially left-leaning people, aren’t antisemitic even if Israel critiques them as such

Aa a German leftist I cannot assume that. For example, German leftists placed a bomb at a Holocaust memorial event in a jewish community center in 1969. And during the hijacking of an Air France flight the RZ separated the passengers and kept only those with Israeli passports or “jewish sounding names” etc. as hostages (German Wikipedia, German article with quotes from RZ members).

I guess that depends on how you define terrorism. Some definitions require the actors to be individuals or subnational organizations - so the scale of Israel’s actions would make it something else. But other than that: yes.

Why do you ask? I haven’t seen anyone defending Israel’s actions (and the US support of it) in this thread, so I’m not sure how that adds to the discussion.

That does not make Hamas any less of an terrorist organization.

Why would we uninstall France?

What? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

Okay, who spies on me when I use e.g. Signal?

Actually, as a marathoner I care more about my threshold pace.

Yet another Gang Of Four

there are equally whimsical, better written series

Which ones can you recommend? I mean, my reading list is already too long but…

Harvard called Noem’s action “unlawful.”

I wonder who has better lawyers when this goes to court - the Trump regime or Harvard. 🤔

This “guide” is a bit of a joke made out of frustration.

Shit people can use.

Sounds like people could use unions.

nobody on the top really believes their own ideology

Source?

But the perception of being silenced

They are constantly invited to talk shows, news interviews, get frontpages of national magazines etc. and they are still convinced they are silenced.

The article talks about income (the headline seems a bit confusing), the wiki about net worth?

We marched together for the eight hour day though.

Also: be careful who you vote into office.

Even if that is “the propaganda” (which I have not seen in this thread btw): your counterproposition is not to dispose of the whole one-dimensional “which atrocity is worse” bullshit, but instead formalizing it by speaking of tiers and arguing that the holocaust wasn’t that bad. That’s dehumanizing, has no value at all (it’s not like a “tier 2 genocide” it somehow more okay) and instead opens the doors for Nazi apologia and antisemtism and derails the discussion.

I don’t know how else to say it, but: the unique aspects of the Holocaust are what makes the Holocaust unique.

Making up “tiers” of mass murder or genocide is dehumanizing. There is no point in trying to compare these atrocities - except of course if someone wants to say e.g. “Well, the holocaust wasn’t that bad”.
