Maybe you shouldn't piss off the people who donate half of your income by embracing radical Islamic socialists that encourage attacking Jews

I would suggest that the Jews who see the long game and actually understand the lesson of the story about the golem schism with the self defeating jews who only want to enrich themselves while carrying out their multi-millenia long war of revenge against the descendants of Rome and the followers of Jesus.

I am amused at how many liberals underestimate how much turd worlders hate them specifically. Especially when it comes to Muslims. Muslims hate Jews and liberal Jews more than they hate conservatives and Christians. It’s like they can’t process threats and they turn off their brains. But still you’ll see Jewish lgbtq+ progressives support Islam out of spite despite their desire to run them over with trucks of peace.

The left as a whole has a habit of running on idealism and positive vibes. Which is only more evident the more progressive and further to the left someone is. That or they work on some kind of “enemy of my enemy is my friend” line of thinking when it comes to dealing with right wing policies.


That’s how I can explain it.

Installing a Shah in Iran? what's wrong with that?

It’s not a fuckING binary, dipshit.

The current regime must be dismantled.

That does not mean that a dictator needs to be installed, it means the theocracy can’t be allowed to continue to rule Iran.

I’d say you’re smart enough to know that much, but then I look at a lot of your posts and get severe doubts.

The funniest thing to me about modern Communists is how "fascism" is their boogeyman despite functionally resulting in the same thing

In Fascism, the corporations overtake the government, becoming a corporatocracy of a merged government and corporations
In Socialism, the government overtakes the corporations, becoming a corporatocracy of a merged government and corporations

They dress up in different ideology and messaging, but ultimately boil down to being the same; absolute power corrupts absolutely and the heads of these types of states become the same people in the end

Like I said, the only meaningful difference between the two is the commies have nicer mustaches

Slippery slope is a logical fallacy, not a moral fallacy.

This is the fallacy: A is a factually incorrect statement, because if A is true, A causes B, and B is bad.
This is not the fallacy: We should not do A, because A tends to lead to B, and B is especially undesirable.

Leftists actually fall into the slippery slope fallacy all the time.
  • Islam can't teach war and repression, because if it does, that means bigots are right, and if bigots are right, that means Holocaust II will happen.
  • If babies have a neurochemical need to be held by their mothers specifically, that means it's harmful to babies for women to go back to work days after giving birth. So this need can't exist.
  • If violent impulsiveness is heritable with measurable racial variation, that means racism and Jim Crow, therefore blank slate is true.
Etc.

I’d say that you’re listing examples of just bad conclusions, not examples where you can expect progression

Edit: reread. Gotcha. The Wikipedia definition of slippery slope doesn’t match the colloquial understanding of a slippery slope

They've been doing this since 2012 and never wavered in their financial support.




My pet theory is that the democratic party worked with the heads of the banks to back off with the whole socialism thing as long as their enemies got debanked. And we've been floating down the shit stream of the equilibrium since then. The democrats are never going to get rid of the DSA faction for that reason.

They stopped doing the one thing that matters: coming to Israelis aid when there is another war. History will look back at the whole DSA/woke shit in a manner worse than teatottlers were seen after alcohol was banned.

US Tema 'Inside the Phone-Throwing Drama at the Troubled, Broke Democratic Party'


Inside the Phone-Throwing Drama at the Troubled, Broke Democratic Party​

The Democrats should be well positioned to make gains in this year’s midterms. But inside party headquarters, every week brings paranoia, worries about money and, on occasion, emotional eruptions.


The Democratic Party is so short on cash that leaders at its headquarters have undertaken a new gambit to mask the severity of the problems: asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm...
Reacciones:Enojado x 9 Lol x 12 Lunacy x 2 Thunk-Provoking x 1 Optimistic x 1
The democrats are so broke that they are asking vendors to not send them bills until after the midterms so they can hide how broke they are.

…were the Democrats completely reliant on “fake” donors that vanished once Trump started cleaning up fraud?

The whole “Dems are positioned to win bigly, everything orange man does is wildly unpopular” bits in this article remind me of those Russian cope maps covered in arrows they use to pretend Ukrainian lines are collapsing

In other news.. mamdani announces the long awaited city run grocery stores.

From google AI:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that five upcoming city-owned grocery stores will offer a 30% discount on essential items like produce, meat, and milk. Backed by a $70 million capital budget, the first location is slated for the Bronx in 2027 and East Harlem by 2029, with one store planned per borough

Real talk: this is fucking useless and similar to his "free world cup tickets". Mind you these areas are filled with people with SNAP, the food was already free. But the bronx is big and it will be locked down behind glass and what not. Most people in nyc don't go shopping at big groceries they go to small Bodegas for most things.

I love how he's trying to deflect from the bibi stuff but people aren't letting him.
